This is a monopoly. Asian stores are blocking black supply stores from using wholesale distributors

That will change once those wholesale vendors aren't making money from the Asian's. It is what it is. We make our own products. We need to start selling black owned products anyway.

Just stop shopping with the Asians and put them out of business,that way they don’t have access to the distributors in the first place,

@armednegro Oooh that’s why that foreigner walked into that brothers beauty supply business on FaceTime and asking questions? Hmmm 🤔

Black people can open and control their own beauty‑supply stores — but only if we stop trying to compete at the retail end of the chain and instead break into the supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, and cooperative ownership.

Stop selling that poison period! Black stores need to sell some stuff that ain’t poison.

When Micheal Baisden had his radio show, this is one of the topics he sound the alarm about. The Dallas wholesalers on Harry Hines Blvd would block out black own business. I feel the show got canceled because he was sounding the alarm on many of these injustices

Solution go natural and get it from Africa or make it ourselves. We need to make a FBA a billionaire by becoming our own distributor. This is happening not only in beauty supply. This has been going on since MLK killing business to integrate into white and Chinese businesses.

@CCFreedmen They will do anything to block us on all levels but we will survive no matter what ✊🏾💯

Not a problem. We're NEVER GOING BACK to them. When the retailers go out of business...the distributors will disappear with them. We will set up our own networks.🤷🏾‍♂️🚫

The #BLACKout is changing that They can block black hair supply stores from getting product but if they got Asian stores and warehouses full of product that isn't moving, they gonna stay losing money like they're doing now

Create our own distribution and products. There are also other markets like India. Better yet we can wear own own crowns and then they will be screwed globally. I wear my owm hair with natural oils for 2 years now and I love it!

We can make our own products. We don't need mass manufacturers. We already do!

Look into African distribution. There is a lady there that revolutionized the hair market. Healthier option too.

What kind of spell was the Gen X & boomers on that they allowed this shit to happen for soooooo long. Thank god for FBA & this cultural renaissance happening.

Lawsuit… big ass loud VERY public class action lawsuit!

If there’s a will there is a way to get around anything, but you must never give up and you damn should’ve don’t give into these bastards.

Didn't we have beauty productive companies like Johnson Products ,aka, Afro-sheen

It was reported decades ago that under the table deals were made with local governments that allowed this to proliferate.

We have been working on this issue.

Lawsuit

MOST US DO NOT KNOW THIS BUT IT'S A VERY KNOWN FACT. THAT ANYTHING DEALING WITH HAIR PRODUCT U HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERS WHICH ARE THE ASIAN CHINESE & INDONESIANS THE OWNERS ARE THEM I HAVE AFRICANS FROM AFRICA THAT HAD TO DO THE SAME THING. IT'S ALL AN ENTRAPMENT FOR BLK PPL

@Moon911551 Unfortunately this has always been a thing. I did a research paper in college about why all the BSS in black neighborhoods are owned by Koreans and learned this almost 15 years ago. It’s been a thing since they came here tbh.

You could use the hair thats growing out of your head which looks sooooo much better anyway!

So we need Black distributors and Black supply stores. Check.

STOP SUPPORTING OUR OWN DEMISE!!!🔥💯

Asians absolutely have a monopoly on the beauty supply stores! Also, the Asians are given at least $50k to start their businesses!!

When we say “systemic racism” that exactly what we mean; there are systems put in place to stop us from owning and opening these stores/and businesses. First the banks 🏦 will fight to give you the loan, and Once u get over that hurdle now you have to deal with the distributors

I mean....you're all boycotting them...why TF would they want to sell to you?

Not a monopoly you moron. It is standard practice. Just like you can’t put a franchise wherever you want. You get a guaranteed territory.

Everything she is claiming is false. You must do better. Just be honest.

Absolutely not true..that is outside talk being pushed by those that are boxed out to get others to believe that they cannot setup and open shop without their firsthand approval

yt supremacy allowed Asians and Middle Eastern and Nexicans to set up and monopolize in our communities while blocking our progress. Then Bidrn tried to let in more immigrants to further the hinderance. This is textbook racial oppression.

It sounds just like if someone were to gather the evidence and get a good experienced law firm to handle it,this could be the basis for a good antitrust lawsuit If we can be sued for not letting everyone in,they can be sued for the same

dominoes. distributors will feel the effects, shortly and decide to sell (or not) to whom they want.

This is standard business practice. A retail business gets a foothold and then blocks everyone else out. It’s how Walmart and Home Depot put all the mom and pops out of business. Black ppl just have to hold on with the boycotting so the retailers lose their foothold.
