Should We Boycott Non-Black Businesses? | The Truth About ‘Buying Black’ and Economic Survival
In this episode, the team dives deep into one of the most divisive debates in our community - should Black people boycott non-Black (specifically South Asian) shops, or should the focus simply be on building and supporting Black businesses instead?
What starts as a discussion about economic power turns into a much bigger conversation about community strategy, cultural unity, and the fine line between empowerment and division.
From boycotts to buying habits, price differences to privilege, the hosts unpack whether “Buy Black” can ever truly work in a world driven by convenience and cost - and how Black businesses can earn lasting support through quality, service, and consistency.
Do you think boycotting non-Black businesses helps or hurts the movement for Black economic power - and what does true “buying Black” look like to you in real life?
Let us know in the comments.
