If you are black I want you to do something, look around in your home at the things that you have. How many things in your home was bought from a company, or a black owned store?

Be honest

1. Today there are black owned clothes companies.

2. Black owned shoe companies.

3. Black owned Jewelry companies

4. For women there are a lot of black owned cosmetic companies.

5. There are black owned handbag companies.

6. There are black owned food companies.

7. There are black owned fragrance companies.

8. There are black owned hotels.

9. There are black owned resorts, that you can take a vacation to.

10. There are black owned travel agencies.

11. There are black owned car dealership, if you wanted to buy a car.

12. There are black owned hair care companies.

13. There are black owned technology companies.

14. There are black owned stores that sell technology.

15. There are black owned book stores.

16. There are black owned doll companies and toy makers.

17. We now have black owned baby food companies.

18. There are black owned cab companies.

19. There are black owned dry cleaners.

20. If you live in Africa, there are several black owned car makers in Africa.

Today you can buy things from black owned companies ONLINE, which makes it easy to support black owned companies. In the past you had to drive around looking for black businesses to support, but not today.

Jews support Jewish business, Jews make an effort to shop with Jewish people. They don't just go shopping anywhere.

Koreans Americans support Korean businesses, Japanese support Japanese businesses, Chinese support Chinese businesses, Hispanics support Hispanic businesses.

If you are black and you can't find anything in your home that you bought from a black company or a black owned stores, then you have to ask yourself WHY not?

Here is some helpful information in finding black owned companies.

I have to admit that I haven't supported black owned businesses like I should have, but that's all going to change. If black people supported each other we would be totally unstoppable.

I don't feel any obligation to buy black.

George Foreman for instance, has his own line of great home grilling products, but my home grill is not a Foreman brand, because I bought what is suitable for my needs. His grills although great, don't suit my needs and it would be stupid to buy one just because Foreman is black and I am black.

As the same with Marcus Samuelsson. He put out his own line of cookware that I don't have in my kitchen because I bought what suits my needs.

Though I must say that I really do want a Foreman grill, because it appears to me to be a superior product to the one I have. But I'll have to find a way to make it fit my kitchen... Maybe I can use it without the stand by finding a different narrow island or table to set it on.

Which in this case, my task will be to find a suitable stand to set the grill on.

Cissly you are a black woman, if you were in business for yourself would you want black people to support your business? Or would you want blacks to just walk pass your business and not support you?

I would want people who need my product to buy it. Period.

I do not care whether who need it is black or not.

Some people say that they are pro black, but they don't have anything in their home that came from a black owned company.

America is a mostly white country, so you have to make an effort to seek out black owned companies and stores.
