On Netflix there is a successful comedian that goes by the name Killa Mike spent 60 hours just getting things from black owned businesses. This episode was an eye opener for me because it shows me how much black people really own in america. The segment opened my eyes immediately because it shows that there are no black owned car company. As he went through day one Mike had to walk around the first day because of the fact he could not drive around. He eventually found a local bike company that was black owned. He couldn’t even eat at certain places because of the fact there was something black owned but there was some type of part of the business had something white owned.
This show brought light to a lot of ideas about black people needing to start owning things. There was an idea that was said in the video saying that black people invested in the community more when we were segregated. It showed that when desegregation happened the black community started investing in other communities than itself.
The episode showed the black community’s efforts to invest in itself. After watching Killa Mike’s experience it opened my eyes to support black owned business and promote other people to start their own business.
