  1. Yep I knew it, once a Black owned business or a Black invention is introduced to the world, it'll eventually be destroyed or debunked by others. So when they tell us to pick ourselves up by the booth straps and then we do, they're ready to murder us for it.

  2. Those types of respondents are threatened by black enterprise. They only want to hear about black people killing each other or getting evicted. Well, there is a new day. Get used to seeing more black progress in this colonial society. For those black gatekeepers and "those people" bigots, keep scrolling and mind your own business.

  3. Most all things are white owned! How stupid can these people be😮 I shop at different stores for different reasons, And I would support a Black grocery store over any other, Why? Because know one else support US🎉🎉🎉

  4. Well you should probably adjust your message to your audience. If you put it on YouTube everybody will probably see it. Including white people. So when you are addressing people outside our race you should keep it in middle of the road and just be a journalist or a business owner. Anytime you bring racism in the conversation, white people are going to get defensive and they will lashout right in front of you. Keep it nice and cool and you won't get that much attitude. Be diplomatic.

  5. I think it’s a good idea to uplift black stores. There’s nothing wrong in it as of 😮five years ago. I no longer shop with Asians white people shops. I only shop with my own kind everything I buy is from black shops we need to support our own people because I feel like we’ve been taking for granted for too long

  6. For starters there is no such thing as black racists point, blank, and period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time that our black put aside all of their differences to support, do for ourselves, and our own, not depending on no other races of peoples to do for us, minding our own businesses, doing really good, and really very well for us, our own peoples, and ourselves point, blank, and period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I will continue to stand, support, and do for my BLACK FOLKS, AND PEOPLES WORLDWIDE AS THE GOOD LORD THE FATHER GIVES me might, health, intelligence, stamina, strength, power, and understanding. IN THE BLESSED, HOLY, AND MOST RIGHTEOUS NAME OF my PEROSNAL LORD, AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST AMEN, AND AMEN.

  7. The bottom line is that you are promoting African Americans, putting our dollars into our own self-own business, and that's taking own dollars out of non-African Americans businesses, dollars which they have always expected our dollars suppose to automatically go to to support their families and neighborhoods.
    All the while, we're neglecting the financial growth and development of our own families and neighborhoods, and that's what our enemies want and expect from African Americans because this is our American history.

  8. Anybody willing to try in Baltimore??? Every other grocery serving the blk community tried to stay but were driven off by THEFT, looting, vandalism, trash, graffiti, urine, etc. They can't afford to stay!

  9. THE SOCALLED BLACK AMERICANS AREN'T IMMIGRANTS NOR ARE WE AFRICANS, WE NEVER FLEED FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY JUST TO LEECH OFF THE BLOOD AND SACRIFICES OF OTHERS OF THEIR OWN LANDS. WE HAVE NO HUMAN HISTORY OF SUCH. WE'RE NOT BLACK, BLACK ISN'T A RACE NOR IS THERE ANY LANDS NOR CONTINENTS NAMED NOR CALLED BLACK. WE ARE ABORIGINE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. WE DO NEED OUR OWN EVERYTHING OTHERWISE WE WILL BE WIPED OUT COMPLETELY FOR INDEPENDING ON OTHER RACES OF PEOPLE FOR OUR DAILY HUMAN NEEDS.

  10. Lol you simple minded low IQ woman you made this all about race the moment you got on social media talking about…race!

    Youve never seen a black person own anything, so this prompts you to get on social media and possibly harm his business?

    Ever hear the old saying "act like you've been there before"? 🤨

  11. I absolutely support grocery stores owned by all groups and I am White. I support this store 💯

    I buy from Asian stores a lot because I eat a lot of vegetables and rice. They got good deals and some produce you won't see in major stores like Wal-Mart. Like soursop and custard apples

  12. The problem is the micro aggressions. We can't ever have a safe place to be celebrated and feel seen. The mere mention of the word "black" is inflammatory. To create a space that's "safe" is a threat to "them." Representation matters. To "include" us does not me " exclusion" of others. Historically, America has not been a poster child for promoting and accepting diversity. You have commentors stating if they were to open a business and only catered to a white audience, how would that go over. Well, in my 45 years of living, it appears that has been the constitutional way. Often, we are policed and profiled for wanting the same experiences and privileges as everyone else.

  13. Please don’t forget about what they did to Oscarville, which is now Lake Lanier. They destroyed an entire town because our ancestors were THRIVING! Don’t let them repeat history like they did with Black Wall Street!!!! Support this business!!!! 0:06

  14. How did you face racism for promoting an all black business? That’s just their way of saying that they’re scared that black businesses will prosper and theirs will fail! OH WELL! 🤷🏾‍♀️ We don’t CARE! Continue to support all black owned businesses!!!!! 2:39

  15. Don't stop, make more grocery stores for black folks, do for self build for self, ship with SELF, KEEP GOING UP BLACK FOLKS👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 DAMN WHAT OTHERS THINK & FEEL!!!!! BLACK FOLKS DO FOR SELF!!!!!!!

  16. Black people are the only people on earth that really promote unity amongst humanity if you ask me!! We African people are the original people of this earth however., and we must be patient with our petulant children…

    Support Black businesses!!!!!!
