So do tell. Why does it matter? I don’t care about skin color of the owners of businesses where I shop. I’d LOVE to see a white personality do this. Hey!! I’m a white person and I own this business so shop here. Kind of alienates other races.
This is what our ancestors wanted. Black owned Business that hire Black people..😊

I don't think African Americans realize the power of our influence. We literally do everything better than other cultures, that's not to brag but it's a fact. The entire world is influenced by African American culture. They dress like us, wear their hair like us, talk like us, eat and prepare our food, listen and perform our music, dance our dances. We rarely consider how that makes other cultures feel, especially those who consider themselves to be our social and cultural competitors. So anytime we enter a space such as the grocery biz, other groups who already occupy those spaces will always be intimidated by our presence, because there's an intrinsic part of them that feels like they won't be able to compete with us. That's the real reason they don't want us there.
This is what needs to be done more. We seem to only talk and no action. About time!

When those people saw we didn't need or want them.

Please keep supporting black businesses, Ms. Ansah. I’ve encountered South Asians and other groups who have no qualms about recommending their own for jobs and other opportunities. Your detractors just want blacks to remain consumers so they can help to finance their business owners’ lifestyles and their kids’ education. They seem to be easily triggered when blacks become competitors to their businesses. Are they afraid blacks will exhibit racial pride and behave like them? Why are they so scared of black solidarity? No other group I know of encounters this level of scrutiny when engaging in the same type of behavior.

They can not leave us alone because they know if we start building and supporting our own businesses, their will fail. That's why they are always trying to sabotage and discourage us.
