Detroit — Stephanie Byrd agonized over temporarily laying off nearly the entire staff at her family’s trio of Detroit businesses when the coronavirus pandemic hit.She’s worried other black-owned businesses will struggle to withstand another wave of economic uncertainty, following decades of inequity that made it hard for many to flourish in the first place.
“Structural racism has created an environment where black businesses are starved for capital,” said Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, a civil rights and urban advocacy organization. Jamon Jordan, a black historian based in Detroit, said the pandemic could have a similar crushing impact on black American businesses.
“This is just a new public health crisis and economic crisis that is coming after so many decades and centuries of structural inequality,” said Ashley Harrington, the center’s federal advocacy director and senior counsel. “Black-owned businesses, we’ve always landed at the bottom of the totem pole as it relates to resources,” Cole said. “We put our blood, sweat and tears into these businesses and everything you’ve worked hard for can be lost in a matter of days.”
Pandemics lead to more inequality. Scientific evidence.
Their business were also hit hard by rioters and looters.
Well the looting wasn’t very socially distanced or very good for business
And so does every other business
They’re going to get hit harder when the smoldering cities are deserted by those with the means to leave, and that’s coming right soon.
Now businesses are classified by race? youaresickinthehead
If Covid was bad for black businesses White communists burning them out is likely much worse.
You think the RNC planned and caused the pandemic also ?
FACT CHECK: “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that’s true. But we’re doing great in our country. China, I spoke with President Xi, and they’re working very, very hard. And I think it’s going to all work out fine”
Fuxk them.
No black businesses are being hit hard by their own clouded youth right now. We need to do better.
Я переживаю
