Are Korean Distributors Shutting Black Entrepreneurs Out of the Hair Business?

[I Lord Justice]

I say we stop buying weaves.

Not the time to be makin jokes breh.

 

[El Bombi]

Yep, because the white owned stores and gas stations care so much about you right?

I actually buy my gas from a black family run gas station here in Memphis idiot.

 

[emoney]

black women shouldn't be wearing weave anyways.

Stop wearing another race hair texture on your head and Koreans go out of business. IT'S SIMPLE!

It was a rhetorical question. No need to be catching feelings brehski.

If you find a good connect, you have done half the work.... Im looking into opening a store.. But I decided to do it in an area that is 98% black.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

enough said..

black people can sit up in the hood and complain all they want, but instead of investing money back into there business, they take the money and buy a new escalade and invest in a home in the burbs..

i see these arabs with gas stations and they making a killing.. from selling lottery tickets, cigs, and liquor while nigs sit in front of the store complaining about the man fuking them over

I been watching Indians and arabs run 7/11's for a while and as much as i love my people..i doubt we have the same dedication.

Those Indians work in rotations at the store..2-3 from morning to evening,2-3 evening to closing time.All while going to school soon as they get off work/or working other jobs
One Indian cat i know has a shell,check cashing spot,cellphone accessories spot and Church's chicken all in one store.Nothing but other Indians working there,most if not all of them are related.

I have always wondered if i had my own store like son how long it would take me to find dedicated black folks to make my business a success.

Imagine That

 

[Just like bruddas]

I consider any black woman a c00n who buy from these Korean stores.

I never even get gas from a Korean or Indian gas station.

lets be real for a sec, thats doesnt earn the title of c00n breh. Its numbers, the koreans cornered the market and own most of the stores and only sell it to koreans. Any black own beauty supply store is higher then korean stores since they have to make a profit since they get it at a high cost.

Only way for us to eat is to go natural and get ya stuff whole sale from amazon or ebay.

almond/avocado/coconut>pink lotion any day and its much cheaper.

This is a documentary I saw years ago on I believe Free Speech TV. which takes place in California. To make a long story short, a group of blacks realized the Koreans held a monoploy over hair care products, and they decided to form a co-op; but at the last moment a majority of them ended up backing out of the co-op .........
New documentary has people talking about who controls the black hair-care market - The Boston Globe

I guess, but how many of them have that type of access?

its actually quite easy to go to Asia and get a supplier.
Its just that most people are either too stupid, or lazy to do it.

I have no sympathy for us (black people) when it comes to this topic.

You say Racism. I say home court/front advantage. Black women should learn to just grow their own damn hair.

I loooove me a chick with an afro. :inlove: But these fukkas out there always need some permed up shyt or someone else's shyt on their scalps.

Keep telling women that natural reigns supreme

Outside of selling weaves, Walmart and Target beauty supplies are cheaper than most Korean stores prices. A lot of those Korean stores sell their products just as high as a Black owned beauty supply.

At least Walmart and Target employ black people.
