​@@MrZlathan3: YOU are on the Right Tracks. Nothing scares White Right Business[wo]men more than losing their shares of any market, which decreases their incomes.Get them where it Hurts; "Grab 'em by the WALLETS." THAT will be more effective than ANYTHING else. Non-Whites need to start Boycotting all businesses, organizations, etc that have less than 25% People of Color on their Boards and working for them. AND, start forming local-neighborhood Not-For Profits for all kinds of needs, Construction, Events, etc. serving the underserved. AND Co-Ops. Co-Operatives are Groups of people who pay a membership fee and contribute working in them for a certain number of hours every month to buy products [household goods, groceries, whatever] in bulk at a Discount. Not-For Profit status is best to be Tax Exempt Status for Co-Op purchases. Members purchase items at cost with a small mark up; like 10%, to cover Co-Op costs of utilities, rent, gasoline if someone did a pick up or delivery, etc. Annual Memberships are sold to adults 18 and over, who will need to contribute a certain amount of hours working in/for the Co-Op, be it book-keeping, stocking, sweeping, whatever one CAN do and needs to do For the Co-Op. Membership Fees and Products Profits to into a Co-Op account for all kinds of costs it takes to open and run a small business. Working in the Co-Op: Members Only: Number of hours is calculated by Number of Hours the Co-Op will be open [Say, 20 hours a week at first]. Triple that number [60 hours week Staff needed to Man the Co-Op and do Behind the Scenes work] then divide this total of 60 by number of Co-Op Members; Say you start out with 20 members the first month. This gives an average minimum of 3 hours of working for the Co-Op is needed, which is 12-13 hours a month. Make it 15, because "Life Happens" and something ALWAYS comes up to throw a wrench into things. Sample Membership fees to start one, for the first 100 Charter Members would be like: $40 per Individual, $70 per Couple, w/an $10 per additional adult in a household. You don't get a Co-Op Membership Card to buy things at discounted prices if you aren't a paying and work contributing Member. Membership cards are NOT transferable. Non Members pay more for products; Mark up is usually about 20-25% more than what Members pay. Example: Co-Op Purchases Sugar at $1/lb. Members can purchase at $1.10/lb.[The extra 10 cents over Cost goes into the Co-Op Bank Account to run the Co-Op] Non-Mbrs purchase at $1.29-$1.39 . These 29 and 39 cent "profits" also goes into the Co-Op's account for running the Co-Op. Eventually, as it grows, a Co-Op can even offer paid positions. But to start, Everyone has to start at equal levels of donating time to work and paying a Membership Fee, which represents their Commitment to the Co-Op. I was a member of several when I was young; they are a wonderful way to learn about running a small business from the ground up. Here are some links to get started on "How to Form a Co-Op". FOOD: nfca.coop/startingacoop/ and www.fci.coop/faq/
