Its wonderful to see Americans who work hard and get what they deserve. The narrator seemed threatened as the show when on. Said micro aggressions about black Chinese that didn't seem appropriate or warranted. The last comment at the credits about black elites taking over. Im not sure why he said that what they are supposed to be taking over. Other than that I enjoyed the video.

[@taomenshuifilmstudio34]

The Black Chinese comment was actually a great question that was posed, they asked simply were the tooth brush was made, and he said China, so that in itself shows that it was not a product that was made by Black Folks... A black owned company does not have to have all of it's products sourced by a Black manufacturer ... It would be impossible to have everything made by us, we don't have all the resources as yet to pull that off , Globally....... And we limit ourselves by only saying we only sell with Black folks.....Being a Black Company I believe is enough , employing Black Folks, and selling to the Global Market is Success .....Just my take on the situation....

i think its important that the black community stick together and supports them as well as that more black people get rich and in the upperclass. Because there is the racism enormously and you only can fight racism through a contact. But i think the comparison between america first and black first is a bit fatal because we are talking here about ethnic groups within a country. If you are starting to go up in the upperclass but then in the same time distancing from white people you 1. do the same and discriminate white people and 2. you support the racism of the white people against you . But all in all great documentary with well explained viewpoints. I can understand everyone here and im glad that the african americans become richer

There are more economic inequalities per capita and in the black community per capita is 65k dollars while the whites are 75k dollars but a black person today has more possibilities of being rich.So while 90% are a percentage less than whites, the percentage of wealthy blacks is high: 10%-15% or 4.8 million earn more than 100k a year.

Okay where are the factories that are producing all these products and clothing? I would like to research that... Meet the employees that are producing and making these products for you. And I'd like to know the wages that you are paying the employees to make your products. I want to know if the employees are living good. I have resources who frequent Africa who can answer that question for me if you know resources are coming from Africa to China to make your products what are you doing for Africa? You know right now there is a community in Africa all they want are mattresses that are in case so they don't have to sleep on the ground they want clean water to drink so they don't get cholera they're asking for mosquito nets so because they're contracting malaria children are dying of this. Simple things like a mattress a mosquito net clean water are you providing that to them with all your wealth since you care so much!!!! Oh I did my research Africa does not export to China the products that China is producing for you unless you're talking diamonds? Why don't you start production here in the USA and hire United States citizens to produce your products? SMH To me this is just all flash and cash. Carry on good luck hope you become all millionaires billionaires zillionaires!

[@Ndasuunye]

realistically, for a small budget startup, producing in the USA requires too much money or an buttload of fans before you start selling so they would be willing to pay the higher price due to producing on American soil. it'sfar cheaper to export labor than to create in house.

Are they sinophobic?

[@Ndasuunye]

not sinophobic but there has been a growing awareness of how badly asian american businesses treat their black customers, clients etc. They would come in, set up shop in a low income predominately black neighborhood, talk smack about their customers while simultaneously profitting and ASAP, move their homes to a non-black community and take their cashflow with them. Now that we have technology, these asian american businesses get caught on camera doing their whether physical or verbal abuse on predominately black customers and it constantly leaves a bad taste in people's mouth. The hair and nail business is especially brutal on both the customer and business side. For example, i known many a black hair business owners who've had a very hard time getting the same cheap deals that fellow koreans, chinese and even japanese would get. Or worse, not get served by these suppliers at all making work arounds incredibly expensive and taxing. It's also why some start up black businesses can be so expensive. Anyone who has hustled knows that everyone wants a cheap deal but sometimes when you can't get materials for cheap, the cost to stay afloat has to be passed onto the consumer. It's very grimy once you start working in the business world.

[@chronicfatiguehermithiker3022]

People bow to trends. If people are valued and honored by Society, trend-minded people honors them; if society mistreat and dishonors people, trend-minded people see them as trash. Poverty and wrecked families create people who tend to act trashy, reinforcing the negative image. Being sinophobic is not going to change any of that, but blacks ignoring everyone and focusing on their own mental care and family healing might eventually help. Successful business people tend to be ruthless, nasty and don’t care (capitalists), normal people must choose businesses where they can thrive without acting greedy and nasty to others. If a business disrespects you, stop supporting them; complaining to a capitalist will cause them to laugh in your face, they don’t care, they just want your money.
