How A Caribbean Food Empire Became One Of The Most Successful Black Businesses In America

[theworldismine13]

American Blacks are the only ones I care about getting paper for...We are the only ones that Are gonna be concerned about and help out the rest. We are the most promising amongst the Diaspora, in my bias opinion.. We are the light. I have love the the others.... but I feel that early childhood education and business for American black is #1 for the world. African's controlling their own resources is #2... and that Island shyt is #3.

That has nothing to do with anything, the notion of whether the money goes back to the island doesn't even make any sense

If I was from Peru for example... I may make bread in the US... but all my shyt would go to Peruvian banks and Peruvian causes.

Jamaica

I'm just curious, did you read the story or did you just read the headline? Cuz anybody with any reading comprehension would see that the family has 1 foot in the us and one foot in Jamaica

Also I guess you ain't from NYC so maybe you don't understand that there isn't a hard distinction between NYC and caribbean islands, to island people it's the same difference, the islands are more like another state than another country

from his pro capitalism perspective, its makes sense.

in my experience tho, i'd see a jamican putting back into this community here faster than a nig 'of america' (dumb ass distinction but i'll uses it, since americans blacks love division amongst us). nig of america would prolly go cop some shyt to be just like euro man.

Naw I'm not from NYC.... but I know that money in Jamaica does nothing for blacks in America.

Most people who are involved in non profits or do things for are communities seemed to always be concerned with how money is circulating..... because group economics isn't the same as black capitalism..

If I make a million today what does that do for my people? My man's just copped a 80K car last week.... lol, that nikka is self made- but gives a fukk about blacks in America.... He's a black capitalist.

The point I'm making is that half the black people in nyc are caribbean, so the difference between black American and caribbean is a gray area

But again, did you read the story, becuase it talks about where they put their money

i can't read the story... so I asked the questions, I'm working a project trying to be a black capitalist.

 

[theworldismine13]

Then shut the fuk up

 

[Blackking]

Then shut the fuk up

Peace.

 

[newworldafro]

never heard of this.. but at the patty crisis and father telling to son to calm down ..

good stuff

 

[Scientific Playa]

I usually get my patties from a local bakery but gotta also start buying Golden Krust brand when I'm in Costco.
Thanks for posting!




"The lesson learned from that is opportunity through crisis," Lowell Hawthorne says, sitting in the Golden Krust headquarters on Park Avenue in the Bronx. "Had we not been cut off from our patty supply, we would not have achieved the success we have today. We would not have become one of the largest Caribbean businesses in this country. We have an endowment, with scholarships, 120 franchises and we employ 230 people on this block."
