Koreans selling Caribbean/African products!!!

While I know that Koreans have a monopoly on the fresh grocer market in America, It vexes me that they're selling Caribbean/African products, and guess who's shopping there??? US!!!!!! His needs to stop, as we're making those bastard richer by the minute and open up our own shops. It's sad that in the Broad and Olney area (if you're in Phila, you'll know what I'm talking about), there's not one grocery store which is owned by a Caribbean or an African that isn't dedicated to selling our products!!! This has got to stop or we'll end up like the black yankees!!!

I guess they just see a lucrative market to invest in. If it really vexes you that that point, why not invest in your own market. 'Cause I'm pretty sure that they opened a shop with those products, due to the demands of the customers.

Oneshot and DJ, y' all both that don't make no sense bout "open a shop or stfu" While I'm in full agreement that if blacks are so frustrated by this, then they need to take responsibility for their own stuff, it also does not make sense to say to someone "open a shop or stfu"

That's the equivalent of me saying " You don't like the violence in hiphop, then go make an album or stfu" Does that make sense ? The same way you can't just instantly gain skill and capital to record an album is the same way someone who points out the OBVIOUS problem the black community has of not owning their own products can all of a sudden gain skill and capital to open a shop.

What makes more sense to me is, IF we don't like the fact that Koreans control the Afro products market, then we should STOP buying from those stores while, AT THE SAME TIME, gain the knowledge to become our own suppliers.

This part I agree with 100% If we are supporting the BLACK community gaining control of black products, then the black community should not be divided on where the slave master took us.

Small Island King: You said the only correct thing and that is true, we must gain the knowledge to become our own suppliers!

When we have it, let's open up our own shops, but until then, them Asians will make some more millions by selling products that are dedicated to us.

Thanks,

I believe the first step is to simply stop investing so much money in other communities that supply us with our own products. It's really kinda pathetic that in order for blacks to get hair products, they turn to Koreans. I wonder when is the last time I've ever seen a mass amount of Asians come into black stores cuz we control a supply they need ?

Ah well, I can only hope that black people wise up. But unfortunately, I guess because of how badly we were oppressed before, a lot of black people feel, "Hey, I walk into their store and they don't call me n!gger, they don't segregate me, and they give me my products for a reasonable amount, why fuss ?" Communally, we have extremely low standards that need to change.
