                                                         " Buy Black Part II"




You may ask, while where are the African-American businesses? While it is true that there are not as many African-American Businesses as there should be. Also, you can also count out Gas and Food (two of the biggest and most used industries in the world) because their are few (if any) African-American Owned Gas Stations or Grocery Stores. However, the blessed part is you can find almost anything and everything else that is African-American owned. Here is a list of companies and places that you can find merchandise as well as goods that are sold by African-American Owned Companies.






1. BlackEtsy.com- If you know about Etsy (basically a version of Ebay; just it consists of Business that have their own rules and policies).






2. PurchaseBlack.com- I really love this company. They sell pictures, gift sets, Greek (Fraternity and Sorority Items), Hair Care Products, and much more. All of these are sold by African-Americans.





3. ujamaamarket.net- They sell a great and diverse number of items catered to African-Americans.






4. Ikire' Jones- This is a Brother I just found out about yesterday. If you don't fellow what everyone else does or don't like to look like every Joe. Check out this dude. High Equality Fashion.




5. Checkout Your Local Flea Market- Many of the vendors are African-American




6. There is also an APP that finds Black Owned Businesses. However, the reviews say that the APP is at times unreliable.


7. iamwelldressed.com- Well Dressed is an clothing line created by students of Color attending Syracuse University. On their website its says "What once began as an endeavor to dress business causal for personal gain, has transformed into a mission to empower students of color on campus."

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
