another thing! if y'all wanna support black businesses, you're gonna have to be a bit more realistic in terms of price point. take, for example, the black hair industry. worth billions of dollars, and i guarantee nearly all of it is going to whites and asians. there's a monopoly on beauty supply stores and the supplies themselves; black people been well aware of that. so when a black owned beauty supply pops up, ima need you to pay that $10-$20 more to support their come up and help get them to a point where they don't HAVE to charge that much. not only are they buying the supplies at a higher price point, they also have to feed themselves and pay the employees a fair wage. it doesn't seem realistic to want to buy black then back away when they ain't as cheap as "african ebony princess supply". im not saying go ahead and spend all your coin on something ridiculously priced, ima just really need y'all to be mindful and realistic when it comes to supporting our own
