Marc Lamont Hill opened up a bookstore/coffee shop right in the middle of the hood

respect to this man :salute:




Philly nikkas go support this man. The rest of you, stop fukking playing with us. There’s a lot of black excellence bubbling in this city and we know nobody’s gonna do it for us so we’re going to do it by ourselves and for ourselves.

This is OG shyt, mad props to this brother

When I'm in Philly I have to go here

What he said was so important, that it feels that other well-known spaces e.g. Starbucks do not feel like welcoming spaces for black people or brown people.

Imagine what you have to do as a society to convince most white people that black people don't read - it's of course complete nonsense but it's another contributing factor in us being seen as dumb, as aggressive etc.

Respect to this brother, very, very great example for the youth also. Great post OP also

:salute:

I wish him the best of luck, but mos def and talib tried this in the late 90's and it didn't work :francis:
This is the problem with the black community

2 other people of millions of black people tried and it failed so.. probably this will fail

There are a litany of reasons why a business could fail and being black does not necessarily have to be one

nikkas dying to derail the thread. Don't fall for the trap from the c00ns and trailer park trash racists pretending to be black. Salute to Marc for taking action and becoming a example of what all black people need to do.

Keep the black dollar exclusively circulating in black owned businesses.

Replace all non black owned businesses with black owned businesses with everything black people need and want.

If it's not black owned then the black dollar should not be spent there.

This should be the blueprint (black print) in every city and community. This will create a bond that's unbreakable.

:patrice: this isn't a problem in the black community, this is business.

you rarely see book stores in the hood for a reason. now you can get into the philosophical debates and think pieces on that all you want but that's just a reality.

so again - i've seen this tried before where people invested a lot of money into it and it failed. I do wish MLH the best though
