“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey
Readers I have wrote about this before and I am going to write about it again. It is something I am really bothered by but it seems no one else around here wants to speak out about this. But this writer will.
The Korean Americans are “getting over” and getting rich here in Seattle and else where selling African American and black hair products. They are running to the bank each and every day with a smile on their faces. They say to themselves each and every day “Thank god for black ladies, they are helping me pay for my house and feed my kids…thank you black ladies”
To be real, it is a smart business plan by the Korean-Americans. They are saying if the African American community does not want to sell black hair products then we will and at a cheap price. Readers they are doing just that. Selling black hair products to hundreds of thousands of black females at low prices here in Seattle and in many other cities here in the U.S.
The Korean-Americans are smart. They get the hair care products from the far east factories and have them shipped over to the U.S. in bulk and then sell the products and then……..get rich. Buy new cars and homes and take great vacations off the backs of black females. It seems black females don’t care because they are just happy to buy the products they need at low prices.
Lets be real folks. Here is the REAL problem and why I am real upset. While the Korean-Americans are getting rich off of black females, they ARE NOT GIVING BACK TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY!! They do not adverise in the African American media ie The Facts and The Medium Newspapers and my media “Music Inner City”
The Korean-Americans places that are selling black hair products like the picture in this article give EXCUSES when asked about possible advertising with African American media. BUT they DO NOT give excuses when taking cash from black females each and every day. They DO NOT give excuses when they hop in their new cars to ride to the bank each and every day with money they made off the backs of black females.!!
It is time for black females to realize one thing. STOP giving your money to Korean-Americans until they start to give back to the African American community media in the form of advertising $$. The time is NOW ladies. Wake up and smell the coffee. They are using you to get rich while you fight to make ends meet each and every day.
OK you can go into the Korean-American owned business above and see a few African Americans working there. I say…..so what!! To me it is a smoke screen because what they are doing is having a couple of black employees their to help sell the black hair products to the many black females who walk into the business every day like water coming out of a faucet!!
I guess you black females who are reading this are saying that you will continue to give your money to the Korean-American places because they have what you need and their prices are lower than other places that sell black hair products. But I say this black females. STOP giving the Korean-Americans your hard earned money and take a stand and that means paying a few cents more at other places.
Let the Korean-Americans know right now that you will NOT give them your money until THEY GIVE BACK TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY!!
