  • great one.

  • @violetember

    A month later? Get a life.

  • To be honest...I've never seen a Chinese person buying donuts or dry cleaning at a Chinese owned establishment. I also don't personally know any Chinese Americans who are satisfied living on welfare. I know whites & blacks who are though. Self hate? Mistrust? the kracka instilled? Where do you get these statistics or do you just pull them from your arse? What evidence do you have to support any of this nonsense? You just accuse other black of self hate if they don't agree with you. Intollerance

  • Well anyone can see from all the postings above that I never said that. So who's the "rocket scientist"??? I'm sorry for mistaking you for a man...I didn't see anywhere on this page that depicts you as a female. I believe I spelled out in english what my position is. If you choose to misrepresent it...I can't stop you. I've said all I need to say on this topic. I believe logic & ethics are on my side of this argument.

  • No...you said we should not go for black business just for the sake of it. That's BS!

    And I'm not a man...rocket scientist.

  • I NEVER said "blacks should abandon black business". I said you should make your decisions on service and price. If somebody's business has great customer service and great prices...then more power to them. Good lord...man. It ain't rocket science.

  • So you think blacks should abandon black business. I'm glad everybody isn't that dumb. We would NEVER get anywhere left up to the likes of you. I'm buying black and will encourage my fam and friends to do so, no matter what people like you say.

  • My answer is blacks shouldn't go "out of their way" to avoid businesses owned by other nationalities. That is racist. You are just trying to justify it because you think your emotional reasons take presidence over the fact that it is racially exclusive. Should blacks avoid black businesses? That's the INDIVIDUALS choice based on where they want to shop. If they don't feel they get good customer service or high prices, that's what they should base thier decisions on. Not race. Duh.

  • @violetember

    Here is the question since you are getting off the subject. Should blacks support black owned business or not? It's a simple yes or no answer.

    If your answer is no, then you are on the wrong video. To say blacks should not buy from black people is just plain racist. And if you're black, it's just stupid.

  • Amen!

  • Black on black crime is why there is mistrust. Young blacks are encouraged to hate & play victim of da man. Statistics say many are in fatherless households & mom is living off the government & probably angry. No wonder young blacks grow up feeling like the underdog. No amount of black success is going to satisfy u who just want to blame others for why u are where u are. Go to college while working a bad job to pay for it then get a good job when done. Color has nothing to do with it.

  • Your taking this argument out of context.The argument is supporting black business to bring money into the community.Chinsese people have better chance to be successful then blacks in the business world cause there own people support their business as well as others.Other races do not like to support black businesses by an large cause of prejudices.And alot of blacks do not like to support black businesses cause of self hate and mistrust which was instilled in us by the kracka so we don`t unite.

  • Funny, a chinese immigrant can show up in our country with the shirt on his back & 3 years later own a business (restaurant, dry cleaners etc) Why don't you talk to one of them & ask them how they did it...rather than give yourself excuses why it's hard to do. I own a business...& am constantly here working & paying off debt. I don't have a fancy car & live in a small duplex. But I am my own boss.

  • Well I live the United States. Where blacks like in the video own businesses, get degrees & can be THE PRESIDENT. I've NEVER seen any fields in a credit application that ask you what Nationality/race/color/ethnici­ty you are. EVER. They base it on credit scores, & income. Sorry, but you seem to be just the type of person who makes excuses for why you can't get ahead. Again..as I said in the above comment...quit being a VICTICRAT. (victim) Control your own destiny

  • What planet do you live on cause its not the same one as mine.They`ve done studies and it was found that a foreigner or a white person with bad credit is more likely to get a loan then a black person with good credit.

  • keep on you're setting a GREAT EXAMPLE!

  • excellent

  • Great video it is about uplifting our black own businesses!

  • The irony of this is that both of these individuals are VERY successful without having been patronized by others just because of thier skin color. They got college degrees and now live in a NICE neighborhood. When will people STOP dividing us between colors? It's counter-productive. You don't get denied a business loan because of your skin color. That's not a part of the criteria. If you qualify, you can get the loan. Stop pushing VICTICRAT's.
