Do Blacks support Black businesses enough?

Treniece Thornton, 23
Ft. Lauderdale, unemployed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No, they feel that Black establishments are trashy, so they prefer to go to a suburban area where it supposedly cleaner.”


Marie Simon, 24
Miami Gardens, teacher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We try to support each other, but it could better.”


Mariah Delgado, 22
Miami Gardens, student

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No it’s the crab in the bucket effect. People only get involved if it’ll benefit them.”


Natasha Styles, 40
Miami Gardens, teacher

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No, the always want the product for less than what you’re selling it for. Yet they’ll go to other cultures and pay their price.”


Eugene Styles, 42
Miami Gardens, chef

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“It could be blamed on both, some businesses decide not to give their best. And some customers want to sample your product before they buy. You can’t make money that way.”


Eshwa Eka, 23
Miami Gardens, student

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“No they don’t. There’s no unity within the Black community.”
