no, they are making the products as well. And selling them. Then they are taking the money out of the communities, which is why ‘black’ people shouldnt buy from these stores. They dont even hire black employees. How are you going to sell ‘black’ products. and not hire people that know these products. In the youtube video, they showed how Koreans sell, knockoffs of the real stuff. And I think it more has to do with the Koreans not giving back to the community, then the ‘black’ people getting ‘mad’ cause of ownership. If there is no way, of friendship, of course they are going to get mad. It was rightfully taken, but still, it comes with its territory.

I like how she says , it gets ‘very very heated’, like if ‘black people start shit for nothing’, oh it’s ‘black hair’ so they are going to start ‘screaming’. Please, everyone has their reasons for doing what they do.
