First of all..... She lost for giving her money away to other communities.
Hold this L
Even if she paid them.... Thats still a L.
So instead of paying them... She ended up getting beat..... Just L's all around.
I love my people but damn.... Our economic game is so trash.
Bosses & owners dont get their ass beat.
This shyt gets me so heated breh.
We're told that we're allies with these people. That we have to support bringing them here.
They come here, do business in our communities, and don't put a single dollar back into our economy.
They regularly evade taxes, violate every regulation known to man, and then hide behind the "we're people of color too
...this is discrimination!!!" shield when the authorities come for them.
I'll bet 50%+ of those women are here illegally, overstaying tourist visas. Meanwhile, they've got themselves public housing, send their kids to public schools, get themselves food stamps, and exploit every other social service available.
The city even hires interpreters and "navigators" to make it easier for them to collect benefits paid for by black folks who've lived in these communities for centuries.
A young black woman with an entrepreneurial mindset couldn't ever hope to compete with these people by opening up her own nail salon. She'd have to actually pay FICA taxes on her workers, forward the sales taxes her customers pay (and keep detailed sales records), pay income taxes on the profits, and obey the local regulations on proper disposal of chemicals & solvents. On top of that, she doesn't have access to a pool of illegal immigrants she can exploit through paying below-market wages - so her labor costs would be 2 or even 3x those of her Asian competition.
Of course, she could try and play the same game as her Asian competition, and break all the rules. But there's no home country for her to run back to if shyt turns south. The IRS
will find her. The environmental authorities
will find her. The fact that she has roots in the community and in the country puts her at a disadvantage compared to her Asian competition.
The same relative disadvantage holds for our people looking to be entrepreneurs in residential construction, food & beverage, landscaping, car washes, and other service industries in or near major cities.
I can't shyt on people for not going into a game that they're set up to lose. This is a systemic problem that any one black person is powerless to change. It's going to take a large-scale rethinking across our community about the impact of legal & illegal immigration on our economic prospects.
