@@nikrich24 i think that’s an intentional misrepresentation of his position (made by others, not necessarily by you) Although he did have some doubts and worries about the immediate effects of sudden Integration and the friction/conflict it caused, he was always devoted to a united America. People often refer to the quote when speaking to Belafonte close to his assassination “I fear I have led my people into a burning house” as an example of him changing his mind on segregation it they always (intentionally or not) omit the next thing he said in the quote which was “we must become the fireman and not stand by while the house burns” Malcolm X also famously changed his mind on integration later on in life after he saw different races praying together in Mecca. Segregation will only cause more issues and division. For all involved. It’s a dangerous road to go down. People won’t stand for the double standards of allowing one group only to play that game.

@@morenike41 None of those places exclude anyone, especially if you speak the language. I’m not Asian and worked for an Asian owned business. Many at the business weren’t Asian and I never heard anyone there say they prioritized their people over anyone else.
What's crazy is before MLK there were black owned grocery stores, hotels, restaurants,movie theaters, hospitals, school and universities. Today where are they, now let that sink in
During segregation we had no other choice. The problem is we were usually more skilled and when they would see that we could afford things that made them resent us even more because they already viewed us as inferior. So that's when the lynchings and race riots and massacre occured which some communities never fully recovered from.
This is reverse discrimination at its finest! Certainly welcome black businesses, however, make it available to ALL people. The way things are🤔 you need everyone to patronize a business for it to flourish

Every group does this without announcing it because there’s no benefit to it. You let it show through your actions that you’re only for black women. Not your words.

I’m white and I get it. You need your own sacred spaces. Creating sacred spaces gives rise to other black owned creators which helps all of us. She has the right.
Thank You! I knew some white people knew what she was saying. Because it's not a race thing it's imperative to cultivate our OWN culture. Having our own stuff to pass on to the next generation is extremely important. That's the main reason why black people have respect for the other races; they teach and train their own culture. 🤷🏾♂️

@@micklexl1715like could you describe a race black people respect for that reason? How is that separate from culture? Why do we have to keep cultures separate? This is such a weird thing to dictate on, there’s no need to spread division in this way. Like dude, in a matter of speaking, I love ya. We’re all family here and making these lines in the sand is not cool. It’s like there’s this idea that white peoples have the imbalance of power, so we should take from them leaving them less to see how they like it. Nothing good comes from division. And dude, while people have been copying black culture forever how can you say you don’t have a culture? It’s very very present. Pop culture is black culture more often than not, can’t we celebrate that? But we don’t, we talk about how white people coopted the culture, and while that’s annoying it happens to everyone and means they covet it. We’re all gonna be okay, I just refuse to allow any divisive discourse yo happen. Because we all basically agree on most things, we arrive there differently and that’s how the media weaponizes us against each other.
Right. We need healing. We need to become trustworthy amongst ourselves. Start the wheels of building up the black businesses again. Don't pull out the race card on this one. "We need our own sacred spaces " Yes 💯 percent.❤

I understand where she's coming from, totally! The concern is that you could gain so much more support while helping to elevate others. Those you are elevating thwn become able to help so many others, together. That community breaks down barriers and gets to the true tennant to help and love others.
People saying what if it was the other way around. It happens ALL THE TIME. It’s just not advertised. And the difference is she’s doing it to add some fairness and opportunity.
Black Americans could never catch up on the fairness department you made mentioned of, if you know what I'm meaning?! Check how many decades if not centuries head start some of those other races have had over Black America or to be precise America Africans 🤔
It's not wrong to support a group of people with cultural or unique products that can be enjoyed by the masses.... I support many merchants in little Italy and China Town. Visit Mott St off of Canal St in NYC and you'll feel transported to a Chinese town with signage in Chinese and only Chinese merchants. It's such a beautiful area and all are welcome.

@@elainecongo3827 she did say she wouldn't do business with them. The farmers, suppliers and workers all have to be black. I'm sure this comes from a place like love and caring, but it's misplaced. Just like every other woke suggestion, it's a regressive idea that will ultimately fail because it seeks to drive us apart.
Historically 60 successful BLACK communities have all been destroyed, land stolen like Bruce Beach in California, Rosewood in Florida, Black Wall Street in Arkansas, Geechie Gullah Hilton Head Island to this day is being taken from under the inhabitants that lived there since the Civil War. Successful despite being given nothing after enslavement, but the slaveholders got reparation. We still have communities that don't even want you to live there if you are black yet we are not deserving for any opportunity available to and for us.
I worked for a company that started using minority companies, black owned women owned companies and our service was so bad for office supplies because they were always late or didn't have what we needed. I ended up buying my own supplies at one point. Just because it's black owned or minority-owned or woman-owned does not make it a better company!
As a Blaxican (Black/Mexican), I support local, no matter your ethnicity. If I shop in my zip code, it stays in my community, no matter your skin color. If I need asian ingredients, I'm shopping at my local asian shop and NOT Walmart for example
So why were you guys fighting so hard to end segregation then? So less than 100 years later, you could act like you were better off back then? I believe the "space" she is describing is called Africa.
Own spaces 😂… if everyone is welcome then it is not you’re own space… discriminating openly is the stupidest business move known to man especially when you have the lowest target market… but hey they, they
As an older lesbian, this hits home. We all need spaces, organizations, communities, and products that are FOR US. Not that we're against anything... we just need spaces that are for us. Whatever "us" you belong to ❤ Also, my brother is black. I respect and honor him, his family, and traditions. But I realize that's HIS experience, and I'll never understand it. I can support and love, and just stand back and cheer for him and his peeps. And I join the fight when I'm invited or allowed. ❤
Interesting how Anthony O'Neal looked at the camera when housing, agriculture, pay and education, and our journalist have many inequities that even when it comes to real estate valuation if you are Black it is valued less than if you were white til this day. Don't forget that when the G.I. bill did not allow the same opportunity for Blacks who served in the Military when they returned from WWI and WW2.
A business is like a marriage. If you can make the business work, you'll have a better understanding of what it takes to make your life work. Everything is connected.
In a society where certain groups don't need to justify their spaces, we assert our right to create a haven for black business owners. It's not threatening; it's empowering.

Because he think this is a problem. He has been taught by living in the US that it’s a problem for blacks should promote their culture .. when this is no problem for no other ethnicity..
That’s because he’s not into unifying Blacks. He’s into capitalism for HIMSELF. He doesn’t care who joins: as long as he gets “likes “ and “subscribes”, it’s open ‘everybody’ season for him. He doesn’t comprehend that he can keep his mindset and also support space for his guest’s concept as well. Instead, he feels threatened that sharing her vision on his platform may ruin his business. Selfish and dude disingenuous! That’s why his body language and gestures are featuring negatively on camera.
No it wasn't priceless. It was the look of perplexsibility if there is such a word or
whether or not I should comment because I have a white audience.
People literally put their culture on their business signs. Italian Deli, Indian Bazaar, Irish Pub. So why can't Black people do the same? It shows the world you are great at something. We need that!
Yea but she is saying she won’t do business with anyone else. These businesses don’t say that

@@pharoahseyes yea I know , I don’t agree with her because she is excluding people .. which she can do it as per her freedom but this won’t fly if white people said it .

@@nikrich24 yeah coz you need know somebody personally to understand their very clear teachings and beliefs.

@@jbapples4611 People can change what they believe. In his latter years, Dr. King said he was afraid he led his people stray with desegregation. He said we were worse off.
.
@@nikrich24 i think that’s an intentional misrepresentation of his position (made by others, not necessarily by you)
Although he did have some doubts and worries about the immediate effects of sudden Integration and the friction/conflict it caused, he was always devoted to a united America.
People often refer to the quote when speaking to Belafonte close to his assassination “I fear I have led my people into a burning house” as an example of him changing his mind on segregation it they always (intentionally or not) omit the next thing he said in the quote which was “we must become the fireman and not stand by while the house burns”
Malcolm X also famously changed his mind on integration later on in life after he saw different races praying together in Mecca.
Segregation will only cause more issues and division. For all involved. It’s a dangerous road to go down. People won’t stand for the double standards of allowing one group only to play that game.
As a Hispanic business owner this is so beyond crazy to me. Why would I shop somewhere I am not even able to grown with my business? It does not make sense and it’s just plain out wrong.! Creating more division…

@@morenike41 None of those places exclude anyone, especially if you speak the language. I’m not Asian and worked for an Asian owned business. Many at the business weren’t Asian and I never heard anyone there say they prioritized their people over anyone else.
Every other culture does it so I don't see a problem with this at all
Boom 💥
What's crazy is before MLK there were black owned grocery stores, hotels, restaurants,movie theaters, hospitals, school and universities. Today where are they, now let that sink in
During segregation we had no other choice. The problem is we were usually more skilled and when they would see that we could afford things that made them resent us even more because they already viewed us as inferior. So that's when the lynchings and race riots and massacre occured which some communities never fully recovered from.
Those businesses built in the early 1900s were burned down. Today, there are no Black businesses because the men are not building.
They burned it down because of jealousy and hatred I’m happy she’s embracing Black culture yes
BLM burnt them down
It’s called INTEGRATION, your welcome
We (all) need to JUST SAY NO to not only businesses that exclude others but channels that promotes the racists. I will gladly unfollow
This is reverse discrimination at its finest! Certainly welcome black businesses, however, make it available to ALL people. The way things are🤔 you need everyone to patronize a business for it to flourish

This lady is deep honest. Like me. I dont mince.
I’m white and I get it. You need your own sacred spaces. Creating sacred spaces gives rise to other black owned creators which helps all of us. She has the right.
Thank You! I knew some white people knew what she was saying. Because it's not a race thing it's imperative to cultivate our OWN culture. Having our own stuff to pass on to the next generation is extremely important. That's the main reason why black people have respect for the other races; they teach and train their own culture. 🤷🏾♂️

@@micklexl1715she says black it is a race thing, that’s exactly what she said. And why would you say “she’s not saying THAT”? Because you know it’s wrong.
@@micklexl1715like could you describe a race black people respect for that reason? How is that separate from culture? Why do we have to keep cultures separate? This is such a weird thing to dictate on, there’s no need to spread division in this way.
Like dude, in a matter of speaking, I love ya. We’re all family here and making these lines in the sand is not cool. It’s like there’s this idea that white peoples have the imbalance of power, so we should take from them leaving them less to see how they like it.
Nothing good comes from division.
And dude, while people have been copying black culture forever how can you say you don’t have a culture? It’s very very present. Pop culture is black culture more often than not, can’t we celebrate that? But we don’t, we talk about how white people coopted the culture, and while that’s annoying it happens to everyone and means they covet it.
We’re all gonna be okay, I just refuse to allow any divisive discourse yo happen. Because we all basically agree on most things, we arrive there differently and that’s how the media weaponizes us against each other.
Thank you for understanding. This is definitely a need. She shouldn't be afraid to say it. I'm proud of what she's doing.
Right. We need healing. We need to become trustworthy amongst ourselves. Start the wheels of building up the black businesses again. Don't pull out the race card on this one. "We need our own sacred spaces " Yes 💯 percent.❤

This entire interview was 💯🔥great!!!
It was a very enlightening one!
Who is she and how can I support?? Thank you
I understand where she's coming from, totally! The concern is that you could gain so much more support while helping to elevate others. Those you are elevating thwn become able to help so many others, together. That community breaks down barriers and gets to the true tennant to help and love others.
Separate sacred spaces are needed….got it!!!😂
People saying what if it was the other way around. It happens ALL THE TIME. It’s just not advertised. And the difference is she’s doing it to add some fairness and opportunity.
Black Americans could never catch up on the fairness department you made mentioned of, if you know what I'm meaning?! Check how many decades if not centuries head start some of those other races have had over Black America or to be precise America Africans 🤔
Two wrongs don't make right.
It's not wrong to support a group of people with cultural or unique products that can be enjoyed by the masses.... I support many merchants in little Italy and China Town. Visit Mott St off of Canal St in NYC and you'll feel transported to a Chinese town with signage in Chinese and only Chinese merchants. It's such a beautiful area and all are welcome.
They know that. And try to deny. Blacks are excluded more than anyone else.

Own spaces 😂… if everyone is welcome then it is not you’re own space… discriminating openly is the stupidest business move known to man especially when you have the lowest target market… but hey they, they
As an older lesbian, this hits home. We all need spaces, organizations, communities, and products that are FOR US. Not that we're against anything... we just need spaces that are for us. Whatever "us" you belong to ❤ Also, my brother is black. I respect and honor him, his family, and traditions. But I realize that's HIS experience, and I'll never understand it. I can support and love, and just stand back and cheer for him and his peeps. And I join the fight when I'm invited or allowed. ❤

Interesting how Anthony O'Neal looked at the camera when housing, agriculture, pay and education, and our journalist have many inequities that even when it comes to real estate valuation if you are Black it is valued less than if you were white til this day.
