Do you wanna know why black boycotts fail? Every month, I drive through this apartment complex to my black owned dog groomer. And on every single corner, I see Hispanic entrepreneurs and hustlers selling food, beverages, household supplies, beauty supplies, honey, every single corner exactly where their community lives. That is convenience, and that is what we are missing. Black people are 14% of the population, but we own just 2% of businesses that can employ at least one person. Now here's what we do. For those who cannot afford a brick and mortar, honey, we gotta take it to the corner. We have boycotted before. Latasha Harlins, George Floyd, honey. We buy black and that gets loud, and then we quiet down for the comfort of convenience. We need to be like the water boys on the corner. Buy your products wholesale, honey, and go ahead and sell retail, babe. Make your money. Talk to your apartment manager. Pay to rent the corner, honey. Get the proper permits, honey, and keep all the profit. A tent and a folding table? It's all you need, baby. No brick, no mortar. I led a movement called My Black Receipt where over seventeen days, we had thousands of people spend $5,000,000 in black owned businesses in response to the protest. The movement was unsustainable because convenience beat out the commitment to buy Black on a regular and consistent basis. This video is getting too long, but I have to say this. I remember this girl on TikTok, licensed lash tech, couldn't afford brick and mortar, was doing lashes in the front seat of her car. That's how doggedly we need to get. Otherwise, this boycott is temporary.
