Visit them.
Notice them
Truth is in the recognition.

They take your money.
But pay attention and you just might learn.
The truth within the recognition?
And it's not by accident but intentional.

Visit most Japanese businesses in the black community.
And you see less of you.
They take your money but most likely you just a client.

Visit most Indian owned stores, you might see Patel mostly closer to ownership.
But your representation is a vanishing point.
Pay attention to the truth within the recognition.
Your kin just not there.
Although they serving your community.


Visit your local Discount Store and the same thing.
Mostly Egyptian owned and yes, they considered African in heritage.
They might deny this.
But research the continent and there lies your answer.

They serving your kind.
But do you see yourself?
Truth is in the recognition.
They take your money.

Get not upset?
When others states support your community.?
Especially when told to buy black?

And this is where my message sits?
