Fam it’s really not that hard but folk make it hard for themselves always prefacing “black owned”. Once they say that they signed their business death certificate before it even got off the ground smh
I gotta respectfully disagree with you when you say that a prefaced "Black Owned Business" make it's hard for people to go there.
There's a black owned Chinese spot in philly called BLACK DRAGON, the line is long snaked around the corner even with it being called 'BLACK' this proves that because a business is label black owned doesn't mean their business can't thrive because it can. It's all about how they market their business and how it's ran is when a business will succeed or not.
Even if the person don't label their business as black owned, when you walk into any establishment with a black staff, owner, etc, you will know it's black owned regardless.
Also, my cousin has a Black Owned restaurant in North Carolina, you will see the owner and her cooks and servers are all black. While they don't have the label as "Black Owned" people know their business is black owned because of who's running things and the employees they have there.
