This Holiday season, we are asking everyone to support Black owned businesses.
This Holiday season, we are asking everyone to support Black owned businesses. Now, to be clear, no one is saying to shop ONLY at Black owned businesses. But, we truly need your support. Here are some facts:
Black-owned businesses are closing at double the rate of White-owned businesses in the U.S due to COVID–according to a study by the New York Fed. For many, this holiday season will make or break them. We know people are searching for ways to support Black-owned businesses. In fact, October 2020, Google Search interest for "Black-owned business" surpassed 2019 levels by more than 2100% in the U.S.

4 年So black owned businesses have been hurt by the democrat lead covid scare and you want everyone to support the same people who helped bring down our economy? Do you not see the racist hypocrisy there? Dems run the cities where black businesses have suffered the most. And you elected a man and a party that has told you they are going to continue the policies that hurt black owned businesses. How about writing a helpful article about shutdown this covid nonsense and get back to business. That would do more help to the black owned businesses than writing a racist article asking for help because they businesses are black. Why should it matter what the skin tone of a business owner? Is it just as racist to support one because of race and it is to not shop at one because of race? Thanks to the black voting block, more black owned businesses are going to suffer, but I guess it is all a wash. All businesses are going to suffer.

4 年Maybe teach the youth of today not to burn down businesses when they want to protest something. How many black owned businesses where burned down in Minnesota and Seattle during the blm movement. I can tell you for my own eyes a whole black owned district was burned down in Seattle, that was over 34 businesses but now we should use our money to bail all these towns out? I'm glad I live in the country where people still respect others and their property.

4 年Especially black owned RECORDING STUDIOS because y’all don’t show us as much love as you show white owned. We have PLENTY of great young Black audio engineers out here. But our major black artists overlooks us. So until you can support us in the music game, you posting this means nothing. We need African descent to support each other in the music industry. Also we are the most devalued and under paid in the industry. Can you help change that?
