what i learned from this thread is brothers are real selective when it comes to the support black businesses argument
labeling a rare black superhero movie with an all black cast, director, and possibly crew....as “crumbs”
these same individuals bust their ass at work to put money in their nonblack employer’s pocket, who pay them “crumbs” in comparison to what they’re making
those crumbs probably get deposited into a nonblack bank, used to pay off a car they leased from an nonblack automobile corporation, and pay rent to their nonblack landlord
we all have to eat to live, so they probably go to their local nonblack supermarket to buy groceries
then whatever crumbs they have left goes to shit like wardrobe and entertainment,almost entirely purchased from nonblack businesses
their favorite hood movies growing up was pushed out by nonblack movie studios. their favorite gangsta rappers was pushed to the forefront ahead of conscious/uplifting artists by nonblack music executives and nonblack record labels. and although there may have been a message in the art, they undoubtably painted us in a negative light and encouraged destructive behavior
now i understand plenty of factors go into supporting a business other than it being black owned, as they should
however y’all support nonblack corporations on a daily basis, but want to get on your high horse over this?
