The hair shops in west green road are all owned by Asians, the same as 98% of the food shops, takeaways and now pound shops.

There is an Asian importer that has a monopoly/licensing situation going with the American suppliers meaning no one else can import the products but them. It is what it is, its apparent that black people in the uk or london have little to no interest in owning retail shops for some reason.

I think the bit i highlighted is somewhat of a myth .

If black people wanted to we could create our own afro caribbean hair stores and take control of the market but it seems we are too short sighted and have no unity

I was speaking to a black hairdresser and she was the one who told me about the monopoly, but it could be a urban myth or excuse that people use. There has to be social or economic reasons why there are so few black owned businesses compared to Asian , greek, jewish etc. We were all immigrants that arrived in the uk at roughly the same time so why didn't we set up business like the other ethnic groups did.

the big question is, do black people even want to do that sh*t?

So does that mean we cant open our own businesses ?

shouldn't be a problem unless ur sayin these asians refuse to sell their goods to blacks/ different prices?
