To all my Black business owners...


To all my Black business owners: handle business. While it may be OK for Uncle Earl and Big Mama to run the grill and the register, they can't do it all by themselves. Hire some people. Some people that aren't necessarily family members. You know, people you can fire when the mess up without having to feel awkward around the dinner table that night. I know you think if you keep it small you'll get more profits, but if people get annoyed with the lack of service, they won't be returning and you'll just lose more money.

O and to my Black apparel business owners. The clothing in your store should NOT smell like plastic, hemp, or black love incense. There are more fabrics than polyester and spandex. Leather doesn't squeak like a plastic chew toy. We know what a real Coach bag looks like, so stop it with the knock offs and bootlegs! Sigh...
