Do the right thing Black Businesses Stop making excuses!

[earlsutton]

hahahaha the guy say get the fuck out my way

[fatchick1o9]

Or it could just be that blacks are lazy motherfuckers and asians work their asses off from dusk till dawn. I see it everyday in my neighboorhood. The blacks are up till 2-3-4am playing music and drinking, then sleep till 2-3-4 pm. Where as the asian folks are up and gone at the crack of dawn till sunset working the whole time. It's called work ethic...get some if you wanna get somewhere.

Thumbs up if you lived in do or die Bed-Stuy during the 80's !

You need to Cool that shit out and that's the double truth Ruth

[takfam07]

Blacks should send goodwill envoys out to the Asian American communities to learn how they do it. No shame-- the Japanese in the Middle Ages did it, sent goodwill parties to China and Korea to learn from them. But once they got the info, they didn't just sit. They took what worked and built it into their culture. Nothing lost, everything gained. Japanese are still very unique culturally, but they borrowed. In fact--pretty much all successful races borrow. It's how the world works.

[MondoBeno]

Anyone can have a store if they're willing to work 14 hours a day and make $12 an hour with no overtime.

The avertage independent store owner lives hand-to-mouth. Korean grocers are not tycoons.

[eddievenegas]

How about get your lazy asses to work .

[YnotBUildUrBOdY]

[ResearchKnowledge123]

Spike need to Do The Right Thing and make a film about Dr. Claude Anderson, Marcus Garvey, Amos Wilson and Chancellor Williams if he want to make a statement about Black Businesses and Economic Empowerment, or the lack thereof! Having a couple of Wine O's sitting on the stoop complaining is not helpful! More Solutions is what's needed! Stop Making Excuses and Start Making Progress!

[CrowdPleeza]

I think since the 60's and 70's Blacks have been distracted from the need to emphasize business ownership for reducing poverty because the Black agenda became overly focused on gov't wealth redistribution. Black leaders and intellectuals felt that the "cure" for Black poverty was to increase welfare programs. This thinking trickled down to the general Black population. So when Blacks see a Black ghetto the thinking isn't for more Black investment but more gov't programs.

[LastHiredFirstFired]

@CrowdPleeza You hit the nail right on the head

This was a good article on this. Black-American spending power is close to 1 trillion dollars now. So we have alot of money. It's just a matter of channeling those dollars to benefit our businesses more.

[TheAngloman]

@LastHiredFirstFired don't forget 'conintel pro'

[B7acKLioN]

@LastHiredFirstFired I LIKE YOUR USER NAME LMAO..

[visionimagify]

@CrowdPleeza One of the worst things that could happen. Even though Martin Luther King had a dream, I hated it. I really don't care for MLK. Yes, he got whites and other non-blacks to understand black struggles, but that was it. Integration ruined black businesses during that time.

[nemo2000000]

@visionimagify Sad to say, that is partially true.  That is what polished off Greenwood Tulsa (Black wall street).

[AvEryBadApPLe]

koreans, dominican and indians believe in nipitism. blacks have allowed willie lynch syndrome to rote their legacy.

[marcdaddy33]

very nice clip... much truth being spoken in this short clip

[blkskin1]

spike is good at making statements with his craft aint he

[ShamelessNation]

Best movie ever!

[Darckcloud73]

WOW!! Funny how spike is attacking that tired attitude that blacks always portray that someone owe's them something, and are so willing to sit around and wait for someone to give it to them instead of working for what you want and making it happen. Plus the race card of "it's because I am Black......" WOW!!!

[geneofisis]

Y'all know what time it is!

[StoneSoupCS]

Quite a creative and entertaining way to point out the history of the BS... Well Cut, Edited, and Commented KG

[skylabx2000]

thats whats up

[NatalieGRamsay]

That may have been funny but that's exactly what's happening right in our communities! The Koreans/ Asians are not going for individualism as taught here in USA but doing things collectively! Did you notice that this is done mostly with their own unique families and their own kind before 1st dealing with anyone else? That's not racism that's just plain common sense! Even the very wealthy will bring their families to the forefront in their businesses before taking on anyone else! Wouldn't you?

[TheWackyWorldofO]

Spike Lee mastered the term "Art imitating life"!

[truce007]

That is so true...Don't you realize the one talking the most is the one most likely to do nothing! lol

[connectwithdave]

This is the sad truth in Black communities all over the country. It's time to take action and begin to build and establish businesses NOW.

We must understand that collectively we determine and are responsible for the success or failure of Black businesses according how much we spend with them.

[athomas1124]

so, so true...

[BlackComedyZone]

The message in this clip still rings true even 25 years later...and R.I.P. Robin Harris.

[bsenghor1]

GOOD MESSAGE. WE need to ACT more than we preach.
