L. Black business owners pay themselves last if they can at all. Like...way last. And we don't pay ourselves anything close to the hourly minimum wage rate.

M. Black business owners do a whole bunch that you never see. Know what it's like to see human feces at biz door in the morning? That's old hat. Our job is to make it feel like everything is okay, even if the heat doesn't work magically.
N. As a Black business owner, I do not want your advice if I don't solicit it. This isn't because Black business owners don't strive to be better—we do. It's just that you have no idea about the practicalities of my business. The theory is different from reality.
O. We pay a whole bunch of people. Yes, we pay our employees, but we also pay the local homeless guy to clean up our parking lot. There are a lot of folks in the community who need a hand. We've done this since we opened and we've NEVER been disappointed. Never.
P. You come to a Black business because you need a service or product, and that Black business had a vision about providing it to you. We don't believe we have a divine right to exist, and we do the best we can. Hopefully, you'll shop with us REGULARLY. And then tell friends.
