I've had bad service when going to white establishments yes but I am speaking about blacks for us to handle our own issues and improve our communities.

We vote with our dollar. Why would I go to any establishment black or write when I can get better service elsewhere ?

And how many threads have you made about the poor service you received at white businesses :jbhmm:

Also if you really wanted black people to do better, you'd talk to the owner of the business and let them know what is and isn't working instead of posting on here about how difficult black people make it for you to support them :mjpls:

But yet you managed to find time to make a thread about the horrible service you received at black owned businesses. Why is that :jbhmm:
Because I'm black and support black businesses. I have a vested interested in them being black far more than a white establishment.

Well it's not like I made many threads here to begin with.

If you made a thread complaining about white business two things would happen.

One you would be called a c00n for going to white businesses

Two you would clowned for not going to black businesses

Lose / lose

Yeah I think bdiz is trying to bait me and just because I'm black I shouldn't complain about subpar service when I see it.:stopitslime:

c00ns in here not understanding economics :mjlol:

So explain economics to me then since you decided to neg me and decided to call me a c00n.

I'm talking customer service here as a patron in black businesses and why the hell would I address bad service from other races on a mostly black forum.:martin:

A lot of black businesses I go to are indeed well managed and run professionally. But yes a lot of them in the hood particularly (NOT ALL) are disorganized and give poor service especially when other blacks come in.

Multiple times I've been to smoke shops, weed spots, convenience stores, beauty supplies, and restaurants owned by black folks who will stare you down when you walk in, not look up from their phones to greet/acknowledge you, and sell an inferior product at a premium price. Everything is a mess, the racks are dirty and disorganized, and the merchandise is all over the place. I've also been in them and watched whites get the red carpet rolled out for them while blacks get stank attitudes and slow service. At Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles which is an otherwise well-run black owned establishment, the dude walked up to the table and said "what chall nikkas want?" Like seriously?

Now...to be perfectly fair I've had similar experience at Arab, Korean, Latino and other non-black stores and would rather patronize the black ones than the racist Arab ones. But I feel what OP is saying and think that those particular black businesses that half ass things should step it up. And we have to get out of the habit of giving up crappy service to blacks, to me that's just self-hate bubbling up to the surface where you think people who look like you don't deserve exemplary service.

A model black business for a professional operation that is well-run and handles their business is Eso Won Books in Los Angeles.

Any excuse to not support Black-owned businesses...

You say you get better service at places owned by others, yet these people will call you a nikker behind your back and would NEVER hire you nor anyone from our community.

If the service is poor, tell them what they should improve. If their offerings aren't strong enough, tell them what they should improve...

To give me a little more perspective on what you're saying, do you mind citing the qualities the non-black places had that the black-owned ones didn't?
