Why are there so many Asian-owned businesses in Black America and so few black ones? Two people believe they have the answer. This video was uploaded to YouTube on April 23, but a more recent article shines some light on the subject of retail outlets in black areas generally.
The Asian woman’s answer is rather complicated; the black dude’s is a lot simpler, but basically they both come down to one thing: white supremacy. Hmm. Where have we heard that before?
In the 1960s, it wasn’t Asians (in particular Koreans) who were seen to be the problem. Problem? That’s right. As Malcolm X wrote in his autobiography “…in every black ghetto, Jews own the major businesses. Every night the owners of those businesses go home with that black community’s money, which helps the ghetto to stay poor.”
But as Nathaniel Weyl pointed out in his 1968 study The Jew In American Politics:
“No great American fortune was ever amassed storekeeping in a Negro slum.”
Weyl was right of course, but Malcolm X was wrong while half a century and more later our black YouTuber is wrong for a very obvious but much overlooked reason. If Jews and now Asians are taking the money out of the ghetto (or the hood as it is now popularly called) how does the money get into the hood in the first place? How can these shopkeepers keep taking these people’s money?
The answer has nothing to do with racism, anti-Semitism or white supremacy but with economics. Money does not go from black to white, black to Asian or black to anything. Money goes round and round. A black mechanic may only ever give money to local retailers, but by the same token he will only ever take money from his employer.
Granted there is a big fly in the ointment, namely the banking system, but that is a subject for another article. Asian immigrants are said to have done particularly well. Could it not be that (legal) immigrants have such things as skill, capital and business connections? If there are so few blacks in retail, could one reason not be that there are so many in the music business?
Leaving that aside, are Asian shopkeepers forcing blacks to buy from them at gunpoint? Maybe they are providing a valuable service.
Leaving that aside too, the aforementioned recent article alludes to big stores like Walmart and Starbucks closing. Although it tries to play down the crime angle, this has been a major factor in recent years. The wanton lawlessness that followed the very public death of George Floyd led to massive looting and destruction of retail property. Urban blacks are now paying the price; why should any shopkeeper large or small trade in an area where he or the company are likely to be plundered by people who are angry for the sake of it? It is no coincidence that most of these area are run by Democrats, but if people will keep voting for them, they deserve everything they get.

One of the worst events to happen in the western hemisphere was the day the first black slave got off a boat. What an unmitigated disaster that was!
disaster for whom?
A disaster for Civilization, as these primitives are engaged in a revolt against Civilization.
There are three subspecies of humans on the Planet Earth, namely – The Caucasoid, The Mongoloid and The Negroid.
The simple reason why the Negroid can not prosper in a multicultural society, is because the Negroid has been inflicted with a room temperature Fahrenheit IQ and they have to compete against the intellectually and creatively superior Caucasoid and Mongoloid subspecies of humans.
This White Supremacist Greater than (>) Equation should help ‘The Conscious Lee’ (who made this imbecilic video) understand where the Negroid comes in the intellectual and creative pecking order.
The Caucasoid > The Mongoloid > The Negroid.
Romans said the same about Germans and Celts.
But the Romans, Germans and Celts, where all from the same Caucasoid subspecies of Human.
There is obviously slight differences within the same subspecies, but nowhere as profound as the major differences between the three species of humans, The Caucasoid, Mongoloid and the Negroid.
the low level of your argumentation the, according to your own criteria, tells us that you must be a negroid
And what else would you expect a Black Marxist like Thomas Sowell to say?
The1994 book by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray, ‘The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life’ will easily “prove his findings wrong”.
Such disingenuous propaganda has been used many times, to guilt trip Western European Caucasians and American of European origin, to replace themselves with Untermensch.
Lothrop Stoddard warned us about this in his book from 100 years ago, titled: The Revolt Against Civilization; the Menace of the Under Man.
“I’m half mongoloid/caucazoid in your book which historically makes me untermensch”— It certainty does not make you untermensch. The mongoloid subspecies of Humans are superior to the Caucasoid subspecies in many ways.
Almost every interaction I have had with the sizeable east Asian expatriates in my home country, has generally been very positive. I actually like dealing and working with east Asians. Its is the other subspecies of humans that I call Untermensch!
Unfortunately many people in USA believe this racist divisive drivel that was displayed in that video. The problem is not racism. If it were then how are there so many wealthy black business owners?
It’s a class system that exploits everyone as much as possible from level to level. With only a very small amount exploiting the majority. A very oppressive one at that.
one intelligent comment. The same applies to other postmodernist minorities. However, I shall underline that the American society IS a deeply racist one. In both ways
It is too bad the Asian woman in the video feels she has to apologize for Asian success. Despite being recognizable as non-white, and therefore potentially subject to the inhibition of their success by white supremacy, they have prospered. In fact, they are being discriminated against. Two examples: 1- admissions to institutions of higher learning. There are federal lawsuits describing the admission of non-Asian students with much less standing in admission criteria. 2- Federal minority ‘set-aside’ business and education grants and loans.
