[DaGoose131]

[DaGoose131]

[jadenwoods11]

[ReddScarletStudios]

Sad. Just freakin, sad! Really!

[escapefrmla]

Right On Brother Lue!!!!!!!!!

[personkid20]

very insightful thank you

[snakejohnson]

I have gone through the same thing when I sell my comics and artwork.

[HouseofVespucci]

hmmm....sometimes white business owners shun white business owners...hmmm where's the witness?

[takesun2]

@HouseofVespucci exactly.

[lewis131313]

Dude, you look like Avon Barksdale from the Wire season 1.

[bigz735]

i feel more comfortable talking to a white man than a black man cause black people has such a way to hurt people from the heart like thats a talent. not all black people of corse

[takesun2]

@bigz735 really? I'd never do business with a white. They do a lot of dirty business, cheating, stealing, you name it, I trust a Black person any day over a white man. Whites are well known liars and thieves. 

[bigz735]

@takesun2 and what about us black people what do we do

[bigz735]

@takesun2 what are we known for

[bigz735]

@takesun2 HAY FUCK YOU THIS MY OPINION

[bigz735]

man black people has more hate than white people. this girl in my school high school she hugged me like 4 times (not the point). and she even puts here but on me. 2 days after that week she is wrestling with this little guy just playing the moment i touch here, she says don't fuckin touch me. that encouraged me to never talk or touch her again i felt 100% completely neglected. i'm mixed and she is black. i actually felt hurt in the heart. but i did not cry. just silent.

[Mikenified]

I've had the same problem, now I learned to approach certain types of people differently. If your a seasoned salesman wouldn't you need to create a strategy to get business from who you want. But I've never seen a black mall, black toy store, or even a black toy drive. I've been thinking of a pitch for that mean mad dog look...... it goes something like " I know your not used to doing business with my kind but.... or Let me show you u how we're alike. Approach them like there not black. :)

[JGvisions]

i had the same feeling from two educated brothers, one my proffessor and another a guy who was doing a free business class coarse and when i came up to them with real ambition to make the business plans i had to bring to fruition, They had this real distant i dont care attitude about them. i guess i just ignore it and move on. just go where the money is at and discard the supposed trappings of noticing race or trying to use it when it isnt really helping us out at all!

[rabbit4400]

if I was at one of these conventions(?) I would be more intressed in the booth with black people rather than white. To be honest just cuz there black, there not many black people that is sucessful. I'm happy for them and I would rather buy from them then a white people. not that I feel sorry for them and think "they need all the help they can get" but that these individuals are often very smart.

[LoveRolercoaster88]

we should all just get allong

[poweroftheatom]

Black people are full of shit! always with the black power crap but when it comes up to really backing up there own they rather take a shit in their face.

FACT : black people HATE seeing other black people being successful.

[robotcow28]

@poweroftheatom I never seen a black man say "black power" you sir are just retarded.

[poweroftheatom]

@robotcow28 Okay, at the time I admit I was not thinking I was acting on emotion.my apology. As for me say black people say 'black power ' I did not say that, I was talking about there attitudes and motives. Most of them are for them selves but would hide behind the word black power to advance their own selfish hidden agenda. As for calling me 'retarded' it is unnecessary and quite inappropriate, but your forgiven.

[fmcneillii]

@poweroftheatom Why would they not be for themselves? You act as if blacks can't work together with other blacks and not just whites.

[fmcneillii]

@poweroftheatom Sorry dude, tried to reply to the wrong comment.

[takesun2]

@poweroftheatom no, he is just dealing with the wrong people who happen to be black. I enjoy working with other black people and I support them 100 percent.

[Maameelle78]

Same thing here in the UK!

[ManicRaider]

This makes me very upset. I hope those guys experience some kind of backlash. I don't believe in karma but they need a good dose of it.

[blackien5]

This just shows the hypocrisy of our race. We all talk about there should be more black businesses out there, but then when you do see that, they're still whining & complaining, only now it's because these black business owners have earned it & are making $ from. That & they really hate it when non-blacks are working w/ them. We say they want unity, but beat & kill 1 another. Lies & hypocrisy. Blacks just don't plain know what they want.

[genefury75]

that's not a fair or a accurate assessment of him or what he's saying just listen again to what he's saying he's not complaining he's just wondering why we shun each other so much it crazy actually you just shunned this brother because of he's experience what's up with that he's a business owner doing something positive and he's telling the truth about his story and our story.

[blackien5]

@genefury75 You misunderstood me. I'm not shunning him. I'm talking about other blacks in general who shun blacks like him. Clearly there was a misunderstanding here & may partly be my fault for not wording it better, but in any case all I was saying was how can we say we want unity & to be better, but when we do, we get spat & ignored as if we committed a sin against them in some form? That was my point. Even if you may not agree with me, which is fine, I hope you get what I mean.

[kay19833]

blackrace=the cursed race!

he made us and put them against us and against each other what a shame of a race. sob

[mymarkis666]

Slave mentality.

[cvsouth]

Stop being racist... we are all the same! Stop making the distinction. You talk about getting black people to buy from black people.. What if white people were to to try to encourage white people to buy specifically from other white people and not other races? Would that be racist? So how is it not racist where you talk about "enpowerment". You talk about "community" as in black people... but community is all races. "My own people" .. please... we are all brothers. Good luck with your business.

[lanuwame]

@cvsouth If you want to know what is "racist", read the comment by thelegendofnoob below. It would be great if the world was equal and full of brotherhood. World peace and accepting each other based on humanity is unfortunately not a human trait.

The reality is white people, Asians, Jewish and so on do not purposely ignore each other in the business arena. Black poverty and isolation is a reality and if we continue to ignore each other purposely, nothing will improve. That is my point

[kmcl11]

@lanuwame It's all psychological.

[diamony123]

@cvsouth he is not bein racist...black folks truly have a problem and our women is making it worse.

his comments is base on facts and is reflected by the majority..white people been having their way for years..hell they even kill people to take the us..white folks dont have anything to fight for except keeping the es-panic from taking over...that would not be so bad if the Hispanics was not all about them-self..when they devour this place, they wont be anything left. and blacks folks,we are done

[LADYB725]

@diamony123 Wow really, bw are making it worse? HOW???? Why is it that suddenly every problem in the BLACK race has now been amplified because of BLACK WOMEN? WE as Black people have problems period. MEN & WOMEN are responsible for this. Shifting blame does not solve anything. We should be trying to unite, and support each other and our community. It's hurtful to know that your own race hates u more than anyone else.

[diamony123]

@LADYB725 God knows I love my Black Females..But its the BW that chooses the worthless black men and put off the decent ones...thats why i blame the BW...you girl are truly difficult people...the BW always wants to step over her boundaries for no reason...why you think they end up getting abuse...they need that for which they search for..otherwise it just don't feel right....most of our people dont practice what they preach.talk intelligent but accept bs .then all the men get blame

[LADYB725]

@diamony123 Ok point taken, but the key phrase was " WORTHLESS BLACK MEN" You just admitted BM are the problem too. I never hear anyone say BLACK MEN NEED TO CHANGE..just women. Stop. The whole damn race needs work. The man in any race is the foundation..TRUTH: without a foundation the house WILL FALL! Black men need to reclaim their position as real men in order for our foundation as a race to be solid. It's simple.

[diamony123]

@LADYB725 remember a black man can only do what a bw allow him to do...30 yrs ago you could say a man need to reclaim...today man and woman are both equal in standing. i understand why the woman turn out bein the way they are .its those ass hole bm that did not do their job and raise thier family...the problem today most bw are beating to the same drum...very picky individuals.yes the man they choose should have acted right..the keyword is the type of man they choose..thats where the problem is.

[LADYB725]

@diamony123 Men are the leaders, protectors, and supporters of the family. Contrary to most BW mentality about men today, MEN ARE THE KINGS OF THE CASTLE PERIOD. Your role is pivitol for the families survival PERIOD. The black father is an endangered species and thats the woman's fault? No, brother not today, today we speak truth or shut up. Black women are trying to be super women and failing in the process. Its evident why our communities are neglected

[LADYB725]

@diamony123 Our schools not supported, our kids not governed and taught simple life lessons, why the drop out rate for our kids, and the high jail statistics for our race exist..We as a collective race have fallen apart and are still not trying to put ourselves back together. How can we as black men and women blame each other for losing when we are running the same damn race as TEAM MEMBERS, NOT COMPETITORS. Challenge a Black man to change and see how effective change in our society becomes.

[LADYB725]

@diamony123 See how a few black men getting together and actually putting forth effort to be responsible men can change a family environment, a neighborhood, a state and a mindset. Black men have so much POWER that they piss away. Black men are so feared by every other race of men on earth..how can u not see your own power, how can u not see your own intelligence, strentgh, and natural leadership skills. Stop thinking locally and start thinking globally...

[diamony123]

@LADYB725 as long as the BW blocks the good men...there wont be no progress...a man can not be nothing if his woman wont stand by his side...i give up...i am just doing my part to raise my 2 little black woman.

trying to teach them not to make most BW mistakes...its hard not to w so many influences...but i wont give up...at lease I was here to show them and teach them about independence and not to be shallow and about kindness and self respect..the bw has been misled by society and by the men

[DistortedFaiths]

@cvsouth We're not all the same. That is untrue. Certain races differ from another.

[thelegendofnoob]

NIGGA!

[turnedup8484]

Its sad but a hard truth, racism and slavery has created such a distrust amongst most africans throughout the diaspora. i hope it changes,everyone else buys from each other sells to eachother,and build with each other.

[SmackDaddyQ]

Hey Bro I've been running my own business since '98 part-time and recently full time. I took my biz full time after having to leave my job after a rift with a new black General Manager. IGNORE IT MAN, PUT ON BLINDERS, and SIMPLY KEEP MOVING FORWARD. If you understand the dynamics of slavery and the various classes created among slaves you'll have a perspective on inner racial culture today. I can tell you now non-whites have treated me much better in my business than my own people.

[Yodle2012]

I shouldn't be surprised. I has always heard the blacks in Canada (mostly Africans) hate blacks. That's why they run to date and marry whites. I have a friend here who is African and beautiful but dating a white guy three times her age who is homeless. I'm like why??? Africans especially (and carribean blacks) look down on their own and look up to whites.

[Yodle2012]

I hope your business succeeds. I'm 33 yrs old and tired of working for the white man. I believe corporate america is the white mans (they are 97% of the CEO's) new plantation. White males do what they want when they Want. You should see how the white guys (often uneducated) walk around my company. They are very arrogant.

[Yodle2012]

I am black and I have been treated that way by blacks in very high positions (when they're surrounded by whites) as well as recruiters and even black coworkers in corporate America. I would have never treated you that way. It was wrong and reflects theyre own self hate.

[mreconomics1000]

I used to experience that kinda of reaction with other blacks when I worked in corporate america. Black people still have a lot of self hate in them.

[SPUN1INAGIN]

I THINK THAT ITS GREAT THAT YOU ARE FINDING A MARKET FOR YOUR'E BOARD GAMES AND TRADING CARDS . IT IS HARD TO COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY . I WISH YOU GREAT SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE DON'T LET THE HATERS GET YOU DOWN..

[M0EJ0EKING]

ya

i like blacks

i just dont like niggers

good luck man

[OMGsDRugz]

@TheEvilGenius600 yepperz!

[bnew241]

In earlier videos i didn't hear any Jamaican in your voice, but in this vid I hear it clearly, my guess is your gf is wearing off on you.

[communitydollars]

That is a down right shame and I know they know better. Gosh, those of us who are conscious need to rectify this with a voice, which is what you are doing.

[ibsa]

Keep the faith brother and much success in your business. I know what you mean, but had to move on to greener pastures. The contrary is that many of these Black folk are staunch church-goers, are either pastors/deacons/choir and they all can spit biblical verses like Tupac did lyrics. It's a shame and I'm not sure if its reversable? The Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome is real !!!

[TheWingflyer]

I believe embarrassment and pride are what's behind black people not wanting to speak to you. They don't want to be seen by the majority as congregating/communing with only with "their kind." In their hearts they want to be seen as a part of the majority. The majority laments it when black people self-segregate but it's 110% standard practice for them.

You're lucky not to be a North American black person, especially a U.S.. black person. There's serious confusion and dissonance in them.

[TheWingflyer]

@TheEvilGenius600 What more do you expect? They share the same mindset as the rest of their countrymen: one that despises black people and those different; one that purposefully encourages hatred, contempt, violence, pride, envy, and bitterness.

Why is anyone surprised at this? I could see the surprise if they actually had they own traditions, cultures, and social order, like the immigrants (as opposed to slave descents which most North American black people are).

[cssbeast]

my nefu is african-english mixed and i am english white... i get names yelled at me when i take him to the shops nd the park my sister gets yelled at by both blacks and whites most racist shit you ever heard and its all said in front of kids man so the younger generation is picking up on these sayings and name calling! and when they reach school they already have the hate implanted in there brains!

[TheFunky333]

wait what? black people are racist about black people?

[OMGsDRugz]

@TheFunky333 oh, hell yeah they are!

[whitebitchnigga]

Excellent video, I allways thought blacks in Canada were more enlightened.

[TheNoleboo]

Blks are destructive against themselves and their own. Then we wonder why we are at the bottom. The men don't marry the women, we do not support our blk business yada yada yada. Everytime a fellow blk open their mouth about racism, I'm the first to shout them up. Blk are the true racist, AGAINST THEMSELVES. They are too busy kissing others ass who care little about them. Most blks truly make me sick!

[TheWingflyer]

@TheNoleboo Black people tend to be racist against themselves (self hatred that's programmed in) as well as other groups, especially white people (reactionary racism).
