Black Businesses


Did you know Black Americans contributes to about $1.5 trillion to the US economy? Imagine if Black America was its own place we would probably be the richest place on the planet! It saddens me to see my people putting so much money into buying Jordans, hair products, "fresh clothes" etc. We have black businesses that sell many items we buy all the time. It's important that we stop putting money in a system that doesn't support us. These businesses do not truly care about us, corporate america only wants to make money. Why are we investing in people that do not truly care about us? 

Many people say "Black Businesses have bad customer service", but I ask how good is other services you use? How many times have you went to get a pedicure and the manicurist talked about how bad your feet were? How many times have you been served last, but arrived first at a restaurant? How many attitudes has someone given you at the grocery store, super store, convenience store etc.? Also have you ever thought to go to another business. There are so many black businesses, maybe you chose the wrong black business. 

All and all this money we spend on a system that doesn't appreciate us should be spent on businesses in our community. To assist with a Black Business Directory please click this link and pass it along to any black businesses you know. Eventually I will be able to share the directory with everyone.
