"My point is, the Asians who set up businesses in the black Community don’t like black Folks. In fact, some actually hate you. You are their food; their economic slaves. Slaves that have fattened the pockets of generation of Asians while contributing to the economic demise of your own people. Their main objective is to exploit blacks and take our money out of our community."
Probably because the Asian people provide services. How about BLACK people stepping up and opening stores in "Black" 'hoods? Many won't because it ain't worth it.

It's far more profitable in black neighborhoods to launch a non-profit/.org. That way you own you own "business", risk nothing & have the Government pay you. There are classes here in my neighborhood on how to launch a non-profit/.org, but no classes on how to start a small business.

This is probably one of the most astute posts I've read. Excellent point. The non-profit racket is just as insidious in inner city America as it is in Haiti as it is in Africa. Bono said it best the other day.
You made some great and valid points throughout your posts but some are just flat out wrong.

In the Boston area, there is only one affluent black neighborhood and that's in Milton.
It is a false stereotype that most black americans are poor.
Also keep in mind that: Some/many legitimately middle class black areas just get less-than-great reputations by racist people of other communities judging them b/c of their racial makeup. So some people who aren't familiar with the town would just write if off as a ghetto.
And those Asians in their ghetto located shops don't hate their black customers, but most likely just despise their customers' bad lifestyle choices
Most do hate (or strongly dislike) their black customers.
I have so many experiences with so many different store owners that I can't even begin... and to "hate their customers ghetto lifestyles" is ridiculous and ingorant. How can you know somebody without knowing them? I am a professional whose been treated like crap on so many different occasions by these store owners.

True across the board. But poor blacks have absolutely no money sense. Asians who are poor will work two jobs and are able to save towards a life goal. Poor blacks are not able to and those are the blacks who should not be buying bling or buying fast food. Asians cook more at home, which is much cheaper and also a healthier lifestyle. Poor blacks buy fast food instead and become overweight.
This is an interesting statement, particularly because the bulk of Asian fast food restaurants (which greatly contribute to high obesity levels) are usually situated in low income Black neighborhoods.

Um, so-called "Asian fast food restaurants" are corporate bastardizations of faux Asian cuisine (!!!)...and are avoided by the overwhelming majority of Asians.
Asians also avoid corporate supermarkets, preferring markets owned and operated by Asians, offering actual Asian products...and definitely not faux Asian-anything.
Americans in general love to buy unnecessary things - whether it be bling or organic food or True Religion jeans or the lates Ipad or Iphone. So black people do not have a monopoly on materialism and consumerism. Asians do the same thing too.
You miss the point, completely. Missing this particular point, on a larger scale, is partly responsible for much of the social dysfunction in lower class society.
The finer point that eluded you is that it's not materialism or consumerism that is dysfunctional or abnormal, but the social value on relatively ostentatious displays of what are considered vulgar status symbols that is dysfunctional. This dysfunctional social value leads to often unmitigated funneling of cash and resources (work, stealing, etc..) toward obtaining functionally meaningless symbols of false status. Instead of putting cash toward real assets that will boost the actual status of family and community, such as education, businesses, better food, better child rearing, free time and more, the ultimate value is instead placed on overpriced meaningless symbols that do nothing to increase actual status. It's a false status trap that communicates lower status rather than higher status.
It might surprise you to know that the real top-out-of-sight upper classes wouldn't be caught dead driving cars like a Mercedes Benz or wearing shirts with ponies on them. Such things are considered vulgar. Such status symbols are actually symbols of lower class than people should be aiming for, and ultimately are symbols of a mind that is mired in the values of a less than optimal social class. It's a poverty of mind that is rightly condemned because the social results are absolutely, unequivocally destructive.
It's true that some members of all groups fall into this trap. However, this impulse should be aggressively routed out of any culture wherein it is deeply embedded.

Easy. Suck it up and don't patronize those businesses. That's what most adults do. Blacks arent the only people who get crap service. indeed, when most people get shoddy service, for any reason, they choose to never return.
Anything beyond that is needless whining.
