I've had bad experiences with Black owned businesses in the past. Should I continue to patronize them?
Yes, we should continue to support Black owned businesses and recycle our dollars in our community. We should hold our businesses up to the same standards as other businesses by expecting quality products and services. However, we should not stop patronizing all Black owned businesses because of a bad experience with one. Every ethnic group has good and bad businesses. If you have had these experiences, find a respectful way to inform the business owners. They can use this information to help improve their products and/or services.
