That's liberal illogic, Lori. Don't fall for it.
I'm black, and I own a business. Everyone's money is welcome, and it all spends the same. If I tried to narrow my focus to the black community only, I'd be out of business. Same for any other person who tries that.
What does your business do?
well said, windflier...I totally agree. I am female and there are alot of groups out there that try to segment that off and get women to work with women, etc...I can’t stand that.
We are ALL in this together, to run this great country and those that want to segregrate us off into groups and tell us that’s the only way we can succeed is truly misled.
Windflier. I’m referring to new immigrants (mostly Asians) who pool their resources to start small businesses, invest in real estate etc. ... not rely on only their group to buy from their business.
A good example is the Vietnamese ‘boat people’ who resettled in various areas of the US and within 10 years were owning small businesses, real estate etc. Family members from several families worked at low-wage jobs, saved like mad, then pooled money and leveraged it to buy a small business ... a carwash, a nail salon, a coffe shop. Then everybody in the family works in the business until they make enough to split off another business, etc.
They also pool their money to send the brightest children to college and in turn, that college kid returns the money invested in him by opening up a business that employs more of the family ... or he/she loans money to the family group to start another small business. Gradually, as they all prosper, the families start to live more separate economic lives.
In Hawaii these arrangements are called hui (hoo eee).
