This sums up the c00nery buffoonery that's loose and promoted by your type

Ignore everything else in the thread and add absolutely nothing positive to the discussion as I predicted you would

you tagged me in a thread I had no desire to click on.

lets be honest here. a lot of businesses are capital intensive to start. and most blacks don't have the capital or access to the necessary capital to start up a business.

according to elle driver and panthera black men are raining in the dough

Mexicans don't honor or really even eat at any Americanized Mexican food joint so...




Never heard of it

I'm not sure about Mexicans but I've seen a good amount of Central Americans eating Taco Bell when I was in Long Island

man, I was just at my boy's crib on monday, and he was talkin bout goin down there. he's a regular club goer still, but this is one of the spots he frequents

kinda sad, cuz he will be not having $100 to his name or money to get a basic repair done to his vehicle, but was already talking about getting bottle service and VIP access at the spot.

Like i said Breh...black upper, middle, and lower class keep that place afloat while our own businesses drown and are treated by us as second class establishments...how do we change this

it's pretty safe to say that those are the exceptions, and not the norm.

 

[Turbulent]

I don't disagree with you but what is stopping us from doing the same???

And why aren't we promoting these types of things more

the will (EDIT: and focus) to organize.

other than entertainers/athletes, I dont know how many upper and middle class be in the clubs like that. it seems to be mostly the poor who have delusions of granduer trying to put on the facade that they are more well off than they really are.

ya'll don't have to patronize those places tho

I recently read an article on dnainfo about the best black owned restaurants in the city. I immediately saved them all in my phone so I could try some of them this summer. I also told one of the girls in my running group about it because she mentioned black owned places to eat, and I had the info right there in front of me.

Taco Bell is based on Mexican food. Central American food =/= Mexican food

"Yall"

No, not I but black money sponsors these locations

How can we make it the culture to support our own Breh?

 

[BaggerofTea]

Well the blacks that can.. would roll out to Africa. Like I said... the vast percentage of AA's are going to remain in the USA

We need to stuff this back to africa bs, most blacks who would go to africa would be back to america in under a year

We need to educate ourselves and develop our own economic infrastructure here in america

The owner

Now check out their site, gallery and tell me as a black person how you feel about this

http://theshrinechicago.com/main.php

a business saavy culture vulture.

it won't stop, though... black celebrities will continue to ostensibly flaunt their wealth in white nightclubs, and blacks wanting to emulate these rappers will follow in tow. rappers will go drop $50k in bands at the strip club when that could be twenty $2500 scholarships for high achieving black kids. shyt is disgusting


edit--

i also stopped patronizing bars and clubs for the most part for reasons related to this. cac quota policies, bytch ass bouncers, etc... i want no part of it.

I'm well aware of that, but I have to imagine there are plenty of Mexicans who do eat Taco Bell and that I would have seen it if there were more Mexicans on Long Island.

It sounds cliche, but education will be a cornerstone in uplifting the black community. Black men need to pride ourselves more in intellectual pursuits and achievements and less in hypermasculinity

*resists the urge to bring up the influence of current hiphop culture that promotes crime and ignorance being the keys to success instead of education and intelligence
