Im a black business owner i feel that we don't support black own business even when it's affordable. Blacks have more problem owning a business then any other race. But it funny how every other race post their business in our neighborhoods. I think that we should start supporting our own business so we can grow and lower our prices. I had a friend to open a gym she felt that she shouldn't let people no that she is black because she would get less support.

@ruse822 I know exactly how your friend feels. I started up an apparel company in 2009 and black people simply didn't want to pay for my work. They were always trying to haggle. In 2010 I concealed my identity when I started selling online and business was great. To many blacks a black owned business means inferior quality so they expect lower prices. It's sad really.

I don't agree that most Black business are way to expensive due to a "lack of business skills"... they are too expensive because of the lack of support (supply/demand), they need more people to buy so the prices can go down... in the mean while they need to pay there bills.

Black people would have more money if they stop or limit the support for whites/arabs/asia in there businesses like churches, schools, grocery stores, convience stores etc.

[TheDreamReborn]

@kemetic26 That's business skills. They should be figuring out how to get more demand. I started 2 businesses and I work hard at creating a demand and figuring out how to maintain it.

The Arabs/Asians come into black communities and they supply what the blacks demand. Hair products and corner stores. It's only after they dominate the market that blacks step up. By that time it's already too late and the field is way too saturated.

@TheDreamReborn i owe my own hardscaping and landscaping company; im mexican, let me say this; who gives a fuck about race; when you own a business, your objective to make money, not make friends, be a charity or whatever.. only people you should benefit is you and your family thats it; if u go to mexican or el salvadorean restaurant they dont care about benefit hispanic community no they want their money, you know why its business

[keemkemo07]

One problem with a lot of small black businesses is that they do not supports each other that's why their prices sre so high. It's like they stand alone on their own island

[keemkemo07]

They just use them as a face but they really do not own those companies just like a sports player advertising for Nike or Reebok

@ruse822 I wish I could find a Black owned gym (especially by a Black female). I'd join in a hot second.

@takesun2 you are correct, my hubby and I stayed in luxury apartments last year because we don't have children and could afford it. Any who there was this white couple with 2 teenage children who lived across from us and they had the nerve to own a beautiful luxury car. I was confused because you would think they would invest their money in a small house instead of a luxury car. I seen that so much there and trust me those apartments were not cheap. We moved to a townhome for the same amount.

True...I usually don't care for your videos but I can see your more than just a black guy who appears to bash the black community & black women. You put me in the mind of Bill Cosby...good video!!!

@sandroeleven yes most whites live off of credit cards and are in huge amounts of debts.

@DMB1985CA Sounds like all the charactistics of a typical white person. Die out already!
