They obviously have African roots, but you have those who don't understand or refuse to accepts that

YouTube has plenty of videos with Mexicans and other Hispanic or Latino people surprised at their DNA results. Africans came to North and South America long ago and mixed with the natives and then they mixed with Europeans.

It being in Compton definitely keeps WS from coming through and burning it down or damaging property.

One thing that's been annoying me lately is black folks talking greasy about "hood" black folks in front of white folks. Example: I have a black coworker who I wouldn't necessarily is a ****, but will say things such as "this area is ghetto, don't go there" to white co-workers. Had a white coworker come back from vacation who talked about how bad the area was he travelled through. Black co-workers says, "I told you that area was ghetto" so forth and so on.

Now we know that ghetto is coded language for an area full of black folks, mostly working class with some stand-out knuckleheads who sadly get the most attention. Just pisses me off when black folks don't realize WE ARE ALL GHETTO to (some) white folks and talking greasy about "hood" black folks isn't going to protect you.

Crazy to me that this is just happening. What do we need to educate folks? The hood has too much hustlers born out of necessity to not have more independent black owned businesses​.

Brothas around the way too concerned with getting trinkets than opening business (outside of a barber shop). Went around my old neighborhood, a WaWa that shut down months ago got flipped into another convenience store owned by an Arab dude.

It's the mentality I believe. But lately, I've been seeing and hearing about a lot of black owned nail salons and beauty salons popping up. Seeing how that's what our women spend a lot of money at, I think that's a good start. Although, it baffles me on why we don't have a chain of barbershops instead of the rundown, hood shops I see.

Black women should have the nail shop/beauty supply/hair salon game on lock in 2017 and kicked Asians out a long time ago (no disrespect to any Asian viewers) . Remember the old hair and nail schools back in the day? What did they do with those degrees?

I agree on the nail shop and beauty supply part. Something that should've been dealt with a long time ago. However, hair salons, at least near me are high majority owned by black woman, and see nothing but black employees, because nobody else can work with out hair. Especially with the natural movement in full swing. Relaxer sales to this day are still declining.

This is a good point. What happens on the outside in the hood is no worse than what happens on the inside of suburban America.
