The owner of blacked is white too right?

 

[Tellthetruth]

It’s funny but when black people own shit they end up selling it anyway

WSSH??
Question. Do you actually own a website if youre paying to keep it running every month and or you have to follow their rules?

I've been meaning to check that shit out. Might check it out tonight

I assume it's down to lack of capital and businesses of any kind being highly volatile. Most of us don't have the resources to make mistakes or take a loss in that world until something works like our white counterparts.

Admittedly, I have my reservations about the whole black capitalism thing that KM pushes but that's not the point of this thread so I'ma fall back.

Just watch ep 1

Its called Living Black. He spends 3 days only using products from the black community.

Basically the concept is what u laid out here in this thread. Show is funny tho

 

[Duwop]

This shit the kinda intelligently ignorant shit i love.....


Like I 100% agree with Goldie, but these responses got me dying laughing.

Niggaz is classically hilarious

It's because black people werent/aren't in a position to monetise ourselves and probably won't be for a long time if we don't get reparations

Ofc it partially resources but it's also niggas just don't support niggas.

For example, I've asked mfs why don't they have tidal but pay for apple, spotify, etc and they always have a wack ass excuse like "well i already got a bunch of playlists so idk if i could start over" or some dumb shit like that. Niggas don't support niggas.


There's a chinatown in every city, they make their money from non chinese mfs and spend it all within their community. Pretty much every hair and nail spot for black women are ran by asians.

We're the only dumb mfs giving everybody else our bread, shit's sad af.

I'ma take this as a sign.

Recently I was working on a logo or a symbol we could use for Black owned and operated businesses.

The idea is to have one of these symbols in the window/website/social media page of local our Black owned, Black operated businesses or programs. Now it's not saying that these companies only hire Black people but it is saying that this business makes a conscious effort to create opportunities and hire Black people and POC.

So the idea is B.O.B.O businesses - Black Owned Black Operated

Every B.O.B.O. business who supports this would get highlighted and put on the international rolodex of Black owned and operated businesses.

These are just prototypes/ rough drafts but y'all get the idea...



What y'all think?

Would you support this?

Should we support this?

I never picked up a Complex magazine a day in my life. Never watched Everyday Struggle, outside of clips posted in the Store. Had you said the Source I might be as pressed as you are now
