Black Culture Discussion Thread

[HankHill]

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

No, I seek out good businesses; being a Black business on top of that gets my ear first.

If I’m asking for videographer recommendations and you send me 3 services with one of them being Black owned, I’m picking the Black person’s if all 3 portfolios look equally good to me. And as a satisfied customer, I’ll promote them to anyone asking me.

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.

Depending on industry, it's bad for business if money is the objective

Learned it first hand as a youth tryna make some paper selling online.

Sales went up when I started wearing gloves to mask I was black in my eBay listings

Mfs wanna play these games. Bet. We getting these dollars regardless

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

And you sat there and worked for those white folks knowing they are swindling our people?

Between the TWO….I would say it was moreso The Kardashians opposed JLO. The Kardashians were more the early 00’s and JLo is more of the late 90’s.

Also JLo would just been seen randomly at certain appearances where as The Kardashians were literally on TV every week with their family show that was doing huge numbers. The Kardashians reached a bigger audience.

They wanted the Jlo booty but the BBL tech wasn't ready yet

Kim didn't have the BBL yet when she made the tape with Ray J

The BBL tech got perfected and became accessible late 2000s, early 2010s

When I mention The Kardashians…..I’m talking about the TV show. The tape with Ray J put her on within the hip hop culture, but the TV show is what everyone outside the hip hop community knows her from which is pretty big. By the time she was on TV she had already gotten the Miami weekend package and was ready for TV. Hence why I said the early 00’s.

I'll be honest, I don't think I would pay for a seminar where Wallo was the keynote speaker. That's just me tho... I like working with black businesses that do good business. So even Wallo got a chance to get my money.

All I had to hear is “Tony Buzbee”. If I was Jay, I’d unleash the bank account on that boy.

Tony Buzbee kills all creditability but still, you too old for this Shannon. You know damn well that little *** white girl didn't want you for your looks.

Saw something where it said he was going to give them 10 mil to avoid the whole thing, but then she got Buzzbee and he said 50 is greater than 10.

I NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR understand how old cats let these youngins run game on you

Shannon too old to be getting caught up by a 20 year old

Dude should’ve known he was being recorded though. Once you start hearing twitter lingo in real life (you’re manipulating me, I feel triggered, etc.) it’s a setup.

Shannon should step down from ESPN and get low.

10 mil ain't no small sum...if this is true it might be plausible to a judge/jury that he at least to some degree felt in the wrong

what game did she run?

you'd be surprised...a lot of (young) women talk like this, so that in & of itself wouldn't be indicative of a setup, if he knew she was on OF & taking her any type of serious he was on one but right now it is just a he said, she said ting

 

[finessence]

what game did she run?

He ACTUALLY thought she was genuinely interested. She was clearly out to swindle

THAT’S the game she ran
