Why Buy Black?
Because there was a tremendous response to both of the Buy Black Today: Here’s a list of over 20 Black owned online fashion and beauty businesses and It’s travel season! Here’s a list of Black owned travel and accommodation businesses that will respect you and your Black dollar lists, we decided to do another list. With your help we were able to compile this list of Black owned cosmetics companies. As I said on the BBG page when companies don’t hire us, won’t cater to us or are racist towards us, “Don’t protest. Don’t beg to be included. Hit them where it hurts the most, in their pockets. African-Americans must take our $1.1 trillion in spending power and shop somewhere else. Go where you are wanted. Buy Black owned.”
Why did we compile this list?
First of all, the U.S. Black dollar only circulates at most, one time in the Black community. The Asian, White and Jewish dollar circulates at least 17 times in their communities. Finally, Black independence and power means Black businesses will hire Black workers! High Black employment generates wealth and these factors create thriving and healthy Black communities.
If a company can’t treat us with respect and dignity, they do not deserve our money. Black consumers deserve more than distrust, disrespect, being ignored and racism. We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. If you know a Black business leave a link below. Take a look at the wonderful Black-owned businesses below and click the pictures to visit the store of your choice. Enjoy, bookmark and share this post. Be proud to be Black and buy Black!
Thank you,

At the moment I am in the stage of calling all black owned to see if they are still in business. The website want be up until late Nov. And it will be called Soul Searching where you will be able to find all you daily needs and wants as customers will be able to leave a review under your business
Are the investors black ?
