She…..like so many others CLEARLY missed the point and truly doesn’t understand what Wallo was saying.

Its a simple concept. Support black business......within reason. Don't let someone rip you off of give you bad service because they're the same color as you. You are not entitled to anyone's money because they are the same color as you. He was being a little over the top with it tho.

Tory Lanez Balled Out At A Luxury Store After Claiming He Was Discriminated Against By An Employee
He caught the guy he thought was being dismissive on video.

She did get his point though. She even says it "I understand if he's saying....". It wasn't hard for her to gather that within 10 seconds of watching the clip.
They're just choosing to ignore his point and argue about nonsense because he was loud.

I agree. Not sure Wallo’s reason for being extra in that video or being a little over the top…..but I’m guessing Wallo and Gillie get bombarded with emails and requests from black businesses daily asking him to patronize that particular business or mention them on their podcast. Especially in the Philly area. Wallo is probably tired of the opening phrase….”Support me…I’m a black business”.

Wallo was talking to BUSINESS OWNERS.
So he told THEM that THEY need to come with something more than, "I am a black business, support me because of that" WHILE not putting out a quality product.
No issue with that message considering his audience.

They (I don’t want to say “We”) give white businesses chance after chance…. But let a black business make ONE mistake. ONE demerit and it’s over.
That’s ridiculous IMO

How is he WRONG for telling OWNERS that they shouldn't hang their hat on being a black business and thinking that will be enough?
Please stay on topic and answer THAT question.
He is talking to OWNERS, not customers.
So he SHOULDN'T tell people in an industry that has so much turnover/failure that JUST being a black business isn't enough?

Im not paying $300 for a $50 bottle, idc how black they are. I'll got to the white folks and drink them $3 drafts with a smile. Thats the point he's making. A smart consumer aint gonna just go for anything because you're black and you shouldn't expect them to. You don't just get money for showing up, the owners still have to produce a quality product. They're not going to make it if their only strategy is to tell everyone they're black owned business.

Because in AMERICA, white businesses have been doing it forever. Shop with us just because of what and who we are. I can’t speak for other countries or nations.
But in America, foundational businesses, Fortune 500 companies, etc have been doing it since the days of Robber Barons and the Industrial Revolution
Why can’t Black people do the same (in America)?

I worked at a smoothie company when I was a teen. These people made the 24oz cup smaller (still passed it off as a 24oz but it really was 20 or 22oz, AND increased the price by like $1.25.
Businesses have been shady in this country forever

You said why is it WRONG to hang their hat on race. And I explained to you that other races have, and have continued to do it in AMERICA.
So, why can’t black folks do the same??

You REALLY think white bars don’t price gauge?
Those white places have wine and top shelf liquor in the thousands

A below average product and below average service is unacceptable champ. Doesn’t matter the race…..but especially if you are black.

the negative interpretation is probably more to do w/language & tone than the gist of what he said (which has been said before, he did not come to some heretofore epiphany
)black folk can for sure appeal to ethnic/racial ties as a strategy that isn’t really in question…i think in theory the appeal of ‘support black businesses’ is there it’s just functionally is it difficult to pull off when one really has to ‘stand on business’ in terms of being both competitive & actually desired; it is akin to this:

Tbh, If I owned a business, I wouldn't advertise its a black owned business, but there would definitely be enough signs for an observant person to put it together.

I have no problem giving a look to a business first because it's Black owned/founded/operated. But if the product/service isn't what I want, I'm not going to support it and find something else (which may still be Black-owned). I do this with with every business regardless of who the owner is.
At the end of the day, good business is good business. Being Black-owned is just the icing on the cake for me.

is your modus operandi to seek out a black business 1st for everything? there was a book i read where the author tried doing this for her family for a year wherein she describes what it entailed to try to buy everything she could from a black business(es)…interesting read
unless the product/service is really uniquely catered/specific to an exclusive ethnic thing that isn’t or can’t be authentically &/or closely replicated, i don’t see many examples of folk supporting that business ‘just because’ they are peoples
