In class we watched Trigger Warning which is an Netflix series about the rapper Killer Mike explaining how we as black people should start investing into ourselves and keeping the money within our community. In the show he spent three day living totally black meaning he would only eat food grown on a black owned farm, and sold in a black on restaurant. He also didn’t use his regular phone for the three day because it was made by Apple. He also slept outside on a park bench because he couldn’t find any black owned hotel in the area. What I took away from the video is that over time there has been a disconnect when it comes to the black consumers and the black business owners.The only way to recreate the monetary success of the past within the black community is for the next generation of black Entrepreneur’s to market to the black community and to actually do it and not just talk about it.
