The Chinese look down on us too

Start investing in African industries

If you give money away, what are you doing?

 

[Kenny West]

Not really. If anything you're just making the country you live in poorer.

Now if you resold them as a black business and reinvest the money in the community hell yeah

 

[Luck]

Youre already buying from china anyway but no, that'd be a blow to black people indirectly

At the end of the day there are blacks employed heavily in blue collar jobs in U.S. manufacturing and when business gets slow and lay offs occur guess who's going first?

On a small local scale group economics but as long as youre living in America, somewhere in that supply chain a cac is going to be profiting so it really cant be avoided when we are the minority.

There isn't any real benefit to buying from china that I can think of

Me and my girl started a business and we just got our first shipment from our Chinese supplier yesterday and we had 0 problems with customs.

And doing business with China won't help our situation if we're not reinvesting in our own communities. Our problem economically is we're consumers and not producers. Once we start producing and investing back in ourselves (hiring black people, partnering with other black businesses, putting our money in black banks) then we'll start to see some change IMO.

If all we're doing is replacing whites with Chinese we'll still be on the bottom.

Great minds think alike for real, my nikka.

You must not be aware the Chinese are colonizing Africa.
So yeah help fund that.



The only way to freedom is the follow Marcus Garvey.
Keep the money in the Black community (From Africa, to the U.S., to the Caribbean.)


The Asians are leeches in our community, and the leechng is worse in Africa where there are no laws to protect the people.

'

which is more feasible in 2015 on a large scope--

a) black people in america withholding/diverting their money (economic boycott) in response to economic inequality in racism and obtaining those same goods en masse from black businesses in america (assuming we even have the existing infrastructure to compete w/ cacs and their political maneuvering)

b) black people still spending their money on indulgences (like any other race) but from another source which has the established infrastructure built up.

A is obviously the ideal, B is easier... and not a long term solution (which got nikkas in here not understanding my point), but a statement exemplifying that if blacks aren't valued by society/establishments their patronizing in the US, they can take their dollar elsewhere.

the enemy of my enemy is my friend... that's the rationale of the post.

and to me, both beat C) continuing to give your money to people who prosper in your own country while seeing you as inferior.

studing history and enjoying culture doesn't help build infrastructure in africa or the black community. they're sitting on the most resource continent in the world, and we have no access to their raw or refined materials.

It does if you're buying their music and movies. And purchasing imported goods doesn't help build infrastructure either. You need a proper government set up. America's infrastructure has faults, why not work on something close to home instead of worrying about something that you can't even figure out a way to.

This is equally as silly.

Its your thread and you just want to be right. But you're just as wrong.

im citing it as an easy first-step... not an end all solution. see, this makes me question then if capitalism is the solution to our issues.

This is just my opinion but capitalism isn't the solution to our problem. The solution to our problem is finally dealing with our oppressors instead accepting the fukked up conditions that they put us in.

i agree with economic independence being the solution, but i'm questioning how many black people in america, disenfranchised and all can even A) have the start-up capital to be producers on a mass-scale and B) produce what exactly, to compete in a system that ideologically perceives us as inferior. not everyone can be a business man, either. nuff cacs are consumers, but their economy and nature of white supremacy keeps them afloat.

Depending on the business, you really don't need a lot of money to start something, especially with the internet. So far we've only invested maybe $4000. If we hustle right, we should be able to flip it into an empire (assuming there's a large enough market for our product). And you can produce anything. Just look around and see where there's a need. I mean shyt we're the only people who wear durags to get waves, but does anyone know of a black owned company that sells durags? nikkas in the hood buy cigarello's all day to use as blunt wraps, but why don't we have a black owned tobacco company when we're pretty much the main demographic for that shyt? We have barbershops in every hood across America, but why hasn't any of these brehs created a black owned chain of barbershops similar to super cuts?

immigrants who come here and start enterprising can get on all kinds of schemes to get that loans for their store.

Certain countries have tax treaties with the US which allows them to open up businesses tax free for 7 years (and very few black nations are on that list ). We don't have that luxury. If black people need the capital for certain shyt we're gonna have to get it from each other. That means putting our money in black owned banks and financial institutions at the very least.

i'm wondering how difficult it would be for blacks to even own the hair care stores, convenience stores, etc. that non-blacks own.

that could be a start as well.

A breh actually started a institute teaching other black people how to get into the beauty supply game. If I remember correctly, he said they've opened up 70 black owned beauty supplies stores in the US alone.

How to Open a Beauty Supply Store

yeah, my point is china would have to be feasible alternative due to their mass production. if nigeria or kenya were producing consumer goods that US blacks wanted in equal frequency, i would've said there instead. im not saying its an end all, its a statement, and im sure a lot of non-blacks in america eating off blacks wouldn't be too happy about it.

Pretty much the entire planet gets their goods from China, so I see no reason for us not to do it. But again, it comes down to being a producer (aka ownership). Once we begin to own and control shyt and stop giving our money to other races, we would start to flourish. It's why I'm so adamant in my personal life about spending my money exclusively with black people. Black bank, black employees, black investment firm, black mechanic, black vet, black grocery store, black everything. We need to start being really fukking racist with our money.

If you want buy fake shyt buy fake shyt don't try and disguise it as black empowerment

You do realize that 90% of the shyt in your house is from China, including the phone/computer/tablet you used to make this post :jappls:

The Asians are leeches in our community, and the leechng is worse in Africa where there are no laws to protect the people.

They're not leaches though. Nobody is forcing black people to shop in their stores and endure shytty customer service and bad treatment. If you were to go to a chinese community and open up a store, hire only black people, and treat them the way they treated us you wouldn't get a single customer. So the question becomes why are black people ok with buying shyt from other races who obviously shyt on us? That's a deeper question IMO.

I don't blame the other races for that. That's 100% our fault. Like Dr. Anderson says, there's 2 reasons black people are in the condition we're in 1) white racism that is used to oppress us and 2) our inappropriate behavior by not wanting to support our own.

It's cool to talk that Garvey black power shyt, but if we're not supporting black owned shyt exclusively, then it's nothing more than a bunch of useless rhetoric.
