[00:00:00]Why you think that is that every other culture could come into our community and sell food, but we can't sell soul food in these other communities? Why you think that is? I seen a video and it was talking about it was this Asian woman and she was talking about when Asians was starting to come over to more Asians was starting to come over to America and they were trying to they were going to banks and trying to get loans and the loan they wasn't giving them loans because they didn't want them going in the white communities, but they was giving them loans to come specifically into our communities instead of shopping Asian Americans were redlined from opening businesses in white neighborhoods because white people didn't want Asian Americans operating in their neighborhoods and didn't want Asian Americans profiting off of white people. But because the positionality of Asian Americans is weaponized to oppress black people, Asian Americans were being given loans to open businesses in black communities even though black people were not able to receive loans to open businesses in their own communities.

[00:00:51]Black wealth is essentially paid out twice when it goes to Asian American businesses, once when the individual pays for the goods or services and then again when the Asian American business owner removes the profit from the community.
