The best advice I can give all of you who want to boycott shopping at these non-black minority businesses and make it more feasible to do is to sit down and write down/type where all your money goes and where you spend your money.
So basically write down where you go:
- -Grocery shopping (probably the most important)
- -Eating out/ Fast food
- -Barbershop, hair cut (Salon for brehettes)
- -Corner store (buy gas, lotto tickets, liquor,cigarettes, milk, candy, etc.)
- -Clothes (shoes)
- -Bars, Clubs, hangout places
- -etc. (Any other place you go to spend money)
-After writing this down, pay attention to who owns these places and find out which group of people runs these businesses.
-Lets be truthful, about 90% of the places where we spend our money are non-black and that is mainly due to the fact that most of these businesses are more convenient/there is not many black alternatives, so the first step is to choose a group to boycott buying from
-Since this thread is focusing on boycotting spending money from Asian-owned businesses, review the list you made and find out what products you buy that come from Asian businesses and try to research online if there are other alternatives that are from black-owned businesses.
-The main areas in which Asians make money from blacks is from hair shops, dry cleaners, laundromats, chinese restaurants, and convenient/liquor stores
-Best advice I can give you in regards to the restaurants is to simply stop eating there, in regards to hair shops I would recommend shopping online from African owned businesses or Amazon, and in regards to convenient stores, try to not spend as much money there. For dry cleaning, its going to be tough but keep looking.
-Overall, the bulk of our money is going into the hands of people who hate our guts, whether they are asian, arab, and mostly white. Black alternatives aren't as plenty as these other groups, however we can take small steps in reclaiming our money and most importantly our dignity. In the meantime, we can focus on trying to create black alternatives in the future for our kids and grandchildren by saving up and trying to create connections with African businesses.
