Growing up, David Cabello moved frequently and quickly figured out how to make a buck. As he bounced between New Jersey, North Carolina and the suburbs of Philadelphia, he tailored his services to what locals needed.

"I noticed that none of the restaurants I was picking up from were Black-owned," he says. "I said to myself, 'If I can't find Black-owned restaurants on any of the existing services, why don't I create my own?"


So if I used this app to find and patronize a black owned business that would be good but if I used the app to avoid a black owned business that would be bad

It’s probably going to be used for the opposite reasons, just like yelp’s promoting backfired. lol

I do not play that game. Black-owned, moving on. When they collectively come out and denounce the liberal leftists for playing the race card, I WILL patronize them, but not until they do.

I have a dream that one day diners will choose to eat at restaurants not based on the color of the owners but by the quality of the food.

So using the app to avoid black owned businesses would be wrong then. So your saying I shouldn't do that.

just kidding. Might be a good way to find really good barbecue.

I refuse to participate in racial discrimination campaigns promoted by this nazi-like app. They can all go burn in hell for their racial hatred.

Black and Pwned

This is an app for avoiding black separatists and black supremacists.

These are people who hate you and do not deserve your business.

“Yelp.com has tags for this.”

Yup. I even know some eateries close to me which HAD BLM signs on them before they took them down. Now at least I know which ones to avoid. I do my best NEVER to give money to leftard businesses. That’s why I prefer honest RACISM. Blacks hate whitey? Good and thanks for telling me so i wont give you my hard earned cash.

I used Yelps black owned tags to find outstanding soul food in Las Vegas. In a little strip mall in North Vegas 6 tables the owner’s were the daughters of a colored woman from Mississippi. Soul food that would bring a tear to anyone who has had the real deal in someone’s home in the deep South. Every time I’m in Vegas now I eat there. They of course had a daily kool aid color. Your right about the BBQ as well Yelps tags have found amazing deep South pig pickings too also POC owned of course.

I would be more interested in finding out if a business owner supported BLM, CRT, or mandatory vaccine mandates. That would determine for me if I would to business with them much more than their skin color.

That’s how I’ll use it. I take “black owned” as you only want business from other blacks. Enjoy your 12% customer base.
