I hate the fact that this little girl is the only celeb calling people out.

Are their any OLD BLACKS left in entertainment?

She's probably destroying her career with this shyt....and nobody can come to HER defense?

Meanwhile, Bieber, a known racist, feels comfortable enough to jump in and speak out on racial issues in defense of Kylie?

:snoop:

fukking disgusting.

I'm ashamed that we as blacks have not created the kind of infrastructure where we could support her more.

I said the same about jesse Williams. Another biracial. Why should blacks be scared to tell the truth? Because when you have power you can tell the truth with zero effs given.

in what industries? hair? and how many turning a profit? :russ:
See you don't really give a fukk about economics. If you did you wouldn't be so quick to try to downplay the economic accomplishments of black women. You want black men to be doing the achieving. It's you all's fault that you aren't. And here are the answers to your questions, fukkboy.

Reported by Robert Stitt

While the economic downturn of the last eight years has been hard on everyone, not everybody has been affected equally. The old adage of making lemonade when life gives you lemons can be applied quite appropriately. What sort of lemonade was made with the lemons of financial hardship?

For many African-American women throughout the country, it was the lemonade of success.

Despite declining jobs numbers, economic stagnation, and fiscal woes, Huffington Post reports that “the number of women-owned businesses grew by 74 percent between 1997 and 2015. That’s 1.5 times the national average of business growth .”

The publication continues that “…the number of businesses specifically owned by black women is outpacing that of all women-owned firms … [having] grown by a whopping 322 percent since 1997.”

Nearly 1.3 million companies in America are owned by Black women. That’s nearly half of all businesses owned by African-Americans in the country. These firms employ hundreds of thousands of workers and account for nearly $53 billion in earnings.

On average, there were 500 new minority women-owned businesses that started up every day in 2014. Of those, 223 businesses that opened per day were African-American women-owned firms. When the revenue growth of the companies owned by Black women during this time frame is compared to companies owned by women of other minority nationalities, those owned by Black women clearly top the charts.

The states with the highest growth in women-owned firms are Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, North Dakota and New York. Those with the slowest growth are Alaska, West Virginia, Iowa, Kansas, and Maine. The states with the lowest growth are not necessarily the lowest income producers, however. The states with the lowest economic impact from women-owned firms are Iowa, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont and Ohio.

The sectors with the greatest numbers of women-owned firms are health care and social assistance — followed by educational services, which is the fastest-growing sector, up nearly 140 percent since 2002. Women also own a small percentage of construction businesses and firms. Their economic impact in these areas is equal to or exceeds that of their male counterparts.

In a time of increasing racial unrest and growing turmoil around the county, it is great to see that some things are improving and equalizing in America. While some of the success may be attributed to the push for the Black community to support Black-owned businesses, that would hardly account for the consistent and persistent growth of Black women-owned businesses. Instead, it is likely that a segment of society was tired of the status quo and decided to make a difference.

keep this link in mind the next time you're trying to prove some type of black male privilege :madbron:
Black male privilege is real though slight. Despite those amazing stats black women still make less than you, and have less individual wealth as well as a whole host of other things.

The article does not do a good job of distinguishing "women-owned firms" and " Black women-owned businesses"

And even still, we need to be demanding more funding from the government and banks since I doubt many of these businesses turn a profit.
