Economic boycotts can serve as effective tools for communities to divest from businesses that treat them poorly, as demonstrated by the Asian boycott movement where Black communities organized to stop patronizing Asian-owned businesses in their neighborhoods, arguing that these businesses often discriminate against Black customers and that Black communities should instead invest in their own businesses to achieve economic independence.

Minorities Pulled Out Of The Black Boycott , Boycott Is Still Working Regardless Now Asian Begging
Added:This is why when y'all say black people can't come together, I just shut my mouth because y'all are showing out on this Asian boycott. Saturday, June the 6th, empty. Nail salons empty. Y'all are showing out. Now, if you recall, he's the one that told us that we couldn't survive without any Asianowned um you know uh stores in our community and told us if we did a boycott, he would take away the laundry mats, right?
they would not have laundry mats for us as if we don't own washers and dryers in 2026.
Now, some of you actually seem to be surprised at the Asian community, some of them anyway, that are really thinking that we're ignorant and too ignorant to have our own. Guys, don't forget about 2023. Do y'all remember in 2023 when they ended affirmative action? And that was in part to the Asian community.
They let themselves be pushed to end affirmative action against the blacks.
And people always say against the blacks is if we're the only community and we're the number one community to benefit from affirmative action. We weren't, but that's a discussion for another day. So, in case you didn't know, the AsianAmerican Coalition for Education along with 6060 other Asian-American groups got together and filed several civil right law complaints against Harvard. Okay? And they supported students for affair for fair admissions. Now, if students for fair admission sound familiar, h that's because they are the ones who filed these lawsuits that went to the Supreme Court uh president and fellows of Harvard College and also against University of North Carolina. They combined the two. They said that they felt it was so unjust. They were expected to perform higher to get into Ivy League colleges and that's not the case for everyone, i.e. black people.
They decided to do it in groups so that they could not no one could pick out a specific AsianAmerican to target. But the fact that there were 60 different groups along with the Asian-American Coalition for Education speaks volumes.
Now, once affirmative action ended, do you think there was a big surge of acceptance um into Ivy League colleges for Asian-Americans?
No. Poochie pies. According to the Manhattan Institute, there was a 2% increase across the board of Asian-Americans being accepted into Ivy League schools. However, there was a decline in blacks and Hispanic enrollment.
Like other communities, Asian communities seem to forget that they benefit from all the hard work that the black community has done. And that's okay if you forget. We don't have to remind you because baby, we just keep doing what we do, which is us. So, I'm proud of all you guys standing in solidarity because they're basically calling us stupid as hell and we're not.
Leave me a comment. Bye y'all. Bye. Hi guys, welcome to my channel and this is what is happening on this video.
Asianameans thought the boycott was not going to work, but now they realize that it started working and they now begging black people to forgive them.
That was that was that's what is happening.
>> We need to set the >> tone. Y'all drop in the comments and start naming nail salons, beauty supplies.
>> BLACK WOMEN WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER ever boycott ASIAN BUSINESSES. WHY? THEY need the weave. Don't give a damn what they do, how they talk to you, how they treat you. They will never. They need it. It's like crack in the 80s.
I got one more gem for y'all. Um, and this is a benefit of having a blackowned business, you know. Um, you make your own schedule. But, um, y'all notice that these Asians are more focused on us boycotting their bread than they are Mr. Child.
That let you know where they mind at.
You don't see them here talking about free Mr. Child.
Free that money though. They worried about that boycott and that bread. They could care less about Mr. Child. I'm telling y'all, y'all better pay attention to the signs. I'm telling y'all, they're divided, too. You feel me? They not worried about child. They worried about that bread that they can chow on. You feel me? But I'm gone, man.
I just had to bust, man. I'm out of here. You know, there was always something unsettling, you know, going into a black beauty supply store looking for a lock cap, which I wear in a lot of my videos. Uh, and and seeing an Asian guy behind the counter justounding me the whole time, right? like like just just like eyeing me like a hawk, making sure I don't steal anything or something. And disclaimer, this is not all Asian people. Like I hate that I have to do disclaimers in every video, but unfortunately people just they're going to be like, "What? You think all Asians are like that? Relax yourself, bro." But there was something odd about going to what is supposed to be a black space and seeing like a non-black person monitoring like I'm just like what? And not every interaction we had was negative, right?
Sometimes it was positive, but there were times when you could tell that this person was like actively uncomfortable being there, which I I I found weird.
It's like why do you have a business in a black neighborhood if you're uncomfortable around black people? Why have a business where a lot of your clientele are black people if you're uncomfortable with black people? Right?
That that's something I never understood growing up. And I understand a bit of the history of why this came to be, but it's like at some point, why did you not just go and get like an Asian beauty supply store and and get your own clientele if you're this uncomfortable around black people, right?
If if you're worried about black people stealing, it's like why why continue to do this? That's the part that didn't make sense to me. So when people are saying boycott Asian businesses, it has nothing to do with hate for Asian people. It's just, well, why would I want to go shop somewhere where the owner is uncomfortable with me being there? It's like, >> and while a lot of people from the Asian community have been showing their true colors lately about this boycott against them, I got to thinking, I ain't never seen y'all at Mama Lucy's over there in Miami. I ain't [clears throat] never seen y'all at Sunday's Eery in Miami Gardens. I ain't never seen y'all at Sister Sarah's Crab House over there in Fort Lauderdale. I ain't never seen y'all at Shisha, the one in Hollywood, or the one in Lauder Hill. I ain't never seen y'all at the Dutch Pot or Donna's Caribbean restaurant. And these are all popular blackowned places down here in South Florida that I frequented one too many times. And I ain't never never seen y'all there. So, while y'all upset that we're no longer going to be patronizing y'all businesses, it seems like y'all ain't been patronizing ours from the beginning. Meaning, this has always been a one-sided thing from the beginning.
Hm. And now y'all upset because the one side is about to take their side back when y'all haven't been on our side to begin with.
[snorts] Oh well. To that man that got in my comments talking about me defending an Asian man.
I would never, honey. I would never I would never defend any race over my own people. That's one. Two, I grew up in a community with Cambodians and Asians who have never treated black Americans badly. That's two. Three, we need to stop putting our fight in [ __ ] We need to start putting our fight in reparations. That's the only important thing right now. That's the only thing that should be on our repertoire. Why?
Because we need to have our own businesses. Therefore, we won't have to depend on these other races who we think are racist towards us.
That's what's important, man. Say what the whatever the [ __ ] you want to say, bro. Say whatever the [ __ ] you want to say. But we need to stop fighting, putting our fight in the [ __ ] and start putting our fight into really [ __ ] making gains.
We need to make gains.
Sir, >> and to the people who got something to say about people boycotting Asian businesses, why is it bothering you?
Let's start there. Heart postures, everything. Even the black people coming out and critiquing it. Why is it bothering you? Why is it bothering you that black people don't want to spend their dollars with people that treat them like crap? Tell me.
Tell me. And then I hear some people say, "Well, the Asians have everything.
They have the then this app." Yeah, we know. Yeah, we know. So, we're going to do what we can and let people do what they can do. Why is that bothering any of you people? Tell start there. Tell me why is it bothering you? Especially black people that that that since people are coming out, not the violent stupid people, but people that choose not to spend their money with these people. First, especially, it's a lot of the Republican conservative people. First, y'all was all on Ice Ice, baby, and now y'all against black people with everybody, right? Yeah. This is what I say. This is ridiculous. And that's why I had to stop speaking out like to black people so much and reprimanding us because people don't know how to take it into context because you're reprimmending your own people. People think it is a a gateway or a doorway for racist other weird [ __ ] to go on and that other people can stand up and try to dog black people out all day. That's not what I'm here to do.
That's not what I'm here to do. And a lot of black people don't mind that [ __ ] But I I mind it. I don't like that [ __ ] at all. I don't see what's the point. How is that bothering you?
Finally, black people are coming together some sort of way. Why is that bothering anybody? Please, somebody get up here and tell me why. Why is that bothering? Oh, they could be doing this.
There's people do that's great. Let it start somewhere. It's not hurting nobody but them [snorts] pockets of them Asian people who want to treat us bad. Don't act like this just started. Like I said, back since the 90s, I've been getting treated like [ __ ] in all kind of Asian shops. So, what's the problem?
This is crazy. The worst thing that Asian fella did was to make a threat against the black communities.
A 1.6 6 trillion million well trillion dollar industry especially in black communities alone where most of the Asian stores nail shops beauty supply stores are highly dependent upon the black dollar. So if you take away those if you take away that those stores will run out of business within 3 weeks.
That's where it starts. And then it's going to go up to where the supply chain is, where they're getting the goods from. That's going to be highly affected.
But in order for this to be a good effect on the black Americans, we must build our own manufacturing shops right here in America.
Right here. Bye.
>> Hey, Tik Tok. I'm back. I had to go eat me a little something something something. But today I wanted to talk about not only justice for my brother's freedom but the Asian boycott. Okay. So right now we are supposed to be boycotting all Asian marketplaces, hair stores, restaurants, nail salons, beauty shops.
Um whatever Asians own, we are supposed to be boycotting it right now. So, with that being said, let me take let me take advantage to put my business on the map.
Okay, I know y'all I'm talking a little slow and but I am drained. Okay, I am drained. I ex exhausted. Let me take a moment to put my business on the map, right? I have a situation going on and I would love your support. I put a link in my Tik Tok bio for people to support to help me defend my brothers, to bring my brothers home. But for the people that just don't want to give to give, you know, everybody have their own reasons.
I have these amazing skincare products.
I have my own faith-based beauty and skincare brand. So, today I'm just going to walk y'all through what I have to offer you guys. Right. So, right here is the 4 in1 foaming mousse. This mousse is a fabulous go-to cleanser. Y'all see my complexion? A1, right? Still fighting off of some of the dark marks under my eyes, but it's not as bad as it used to be. Okay, this cleanser is so good and it's my favorite because when I put on a full face of makeup, if you're anything like me and you love being a Barbie doll every day, then you know it's not a day that's going to go by that we do not make up our face. But the most important thing about making up our face is caring for what's underneath our face. All right? So, if you don't have a cleansing product that's going to cleanse your pores out and give you extract all of the bacteria and the dirt and stuff out of your pores, then you are already setting yourself up for failure. Your skin is the largest organ on your body.
And what you put on it and how you cleanse it and the direction to the steps that you like to take when doing your own little um skin care journey, your cleansing and everything. All of that stuff is important and it plays a major role. This not only just cleans the pores and clear their ways out so things can be how it's supposed to be on your skin, but let me tell you something y'all. It is a age defense formula which means that if you fighting with your wrinkles in your face, your face is droopy, you got the dark marks under your eyes, you got the acne taking over, you haven't found a product that works for you, I'm going to need you to go on ahead and click that link in my Tik Tok bio and shop the Courageous Fake Collection and grab this foam and muse because it's going to clean that makeup off your face in one swipe. And I'm going to show you another secret that I have that I use when I'm wiping off of my makeup.
Bow. These cleansing pads right here.
They so soft. They durable. They dualsided. You can wash them and you can reuse them. So fluffy and so pink. Okay.
So pink up, right? These pads is what I use to wipe off my makeup. I use It comes with two in a pack. This is also from my brand. So, I used one of them.
Let's see if I can open this one. I really hate to open it up, but I need to show y'all what I got to offer you guys because what I got, you need it and you can use it, right?
These are very fluffy. They has my logo on it as well. Look at this. See how fluffy? It's so soft, so pink. It's dualsided. And the video does no justice cuz these pads are large. It comes with two in the pack. And when I tell y'all I use one to clean up my face in the morning and at night and then I use the other one to clean all my makeup. And when I tell y'all this with this cleanser chef's kiss, I might tell you a joke, but I'll never tell you a lie. Go on ahead and run and grab that right now, y'all. So, up next, we got the toner from my brand. You know that you need toner on the skin, okay? And you can apply this toner up to three times a day. If you know like I know you know toner is very important is a very important step of your skin care product your process of cleansing. It hydrates and it repairs. That mean marks on your face. It keeps your face hydrated. It keeps away blemishes on your face. It helps keep down acne. And to me I feel like it brightens me because man I use it all throughout the day and it's it's excellent to have. Okay, next we have the facial cream. Y'all, let me open it up. And y'all, I have top tier products. Top tier manufactured products. Glass, no plastic, nothing made in my kitchen, y'all. So, please support the vision.
this cream.
When I tell y'all if you've been experiencing creases under your eyes when doing your makeup, I just want to let you know in on a little secret. All right? Normally, I don't tell people my little secrets, right? Cuz when I do my face, I do my face. You can go scroll down and look at my face on my videos. I don't play this.
You you experiencing what you experiencing the creases and everything else. is because underneath your eyes is dry. Honey, you cannot just put concealer under your eye on top of bare skin. You have to prep your skin first.
And this [clears throat] is my go-to when I tell y'all not only does it preps your skin to proceed with putting a full face of makeup on, but it also eliminates them dark spots. Mhm. You might want to go grab you a couple of them because they go fast. Okay. Next, let's talk about this face serum. This face serum, it reduces wrinkles and the black circles around your eyes. It comes with hydraulic acid in it. It got the most important vitamin that we need on our skin, vitamin C. It comes with vitamin E as well. And when I tell y'all this, this serum right here is my favorite. I normally drop it under my eyes and and moisturize it in after I use this to hydrate it. And when I tell y'all when I do it at night time, I wake up in the morning and my eyes be hydrated. Like everything just be ooh like it is right now. Like I don't really have to do too much. But because I love my skincare routine, I always wake up and do it again. So I wash my face two times a day. And a lot of y'all may not know it, but you got to be washing your face more than one time a day. Otherwise, whatever routine you got going on is going to fail you. So that's just the cleansing products. They play a very important role. Whether you do makeup, whether you don't do makeup, your pores need to be properly cleansed out. Okay? And a lot of products that y'all are already using is very harsh for the skin. That means that you got to take this into consideration and get your treat yourself to some top tier products.
Okay? We are boycotting agents right now and it's not a better time. You know, this is a great time right now to support your people. Support me. I am a um I'm an entrepreneur. I run a lot of different small little gigs to take care of my kids. I'm a solo mom of three, you know. Um, and it's it's hard. It's hard out here. So, next, let's go into my lashes. If you scroll on my videos on TikTok, then you know my lashes be banging. Okay, I'm talking about banging. The best part I love about the lashes that I'm offering you guys is it come with one 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight. It come with eight different styles in the pack.
Okay. And the best thing about these lashes is, don't you know if you properly take care of them, you can wash them and reuse them over and over and over again. Exactly. Save yourself a trip from going to the hair store, spending $16 on a pair of lashes that you going to have to go buy again next week. Get you one of these off my website and thank me later.
I'mma come back with the next video.
Stay tuned. But my link is in my TikTok bio. I need all of your support.

Thank y'all so much. Y'all have a blessed day.
>> Black people boycott their businesses.
Boycott all their businesses. We just watched two grown men run after a 14-year-old boy 130 yards and shoot him in the back. And the only way that they could possibly explain that is that he might have been slightly turned around when they shot him while also holding the gun. Right. Right. And he shot two other people, so he was already trigger happy. And this wasn't his first rodeo. A large portion of the wealth in the Asian-American group was also given to them by black Americans by doing business with them. This is why primarily the large portion of their businesses is in solely black neighborhoods. And like always, we shared our community with them. Black people, we are the only the only group of people in America that says do not shop with your own people. We are the only group in America that says And that there, you guys, is the prime reason why we need to stand firm and what it is we're doing when it comes to these Asian businesses that are within our communities.
This type of [ __ ] right here, they don't care. They don't care.
They're only in an uproar right now is because they see they see that their [ __ ] is about to blow up. They see the money coming out of their community left and right. They can see it happening.
They know that they are too dependent on the black dollar for their businesses to thrive, for their businesses to sustain.
That's why they're so outraged with the with knowing that we are doing a ban of their businesses cuz it's not even a boycott. We're not even doing boycott no more. So, let's take boycott out of our vocabulary right now. This is a ban. And a ban means we will no longer we will be no longer engaging with any of their businesses that are within our communities.
Any of them. This is the [ __ ] right here that tells us they could care less about anything that's going on in society surrounding their their community.
Because how do we have a business that feels okay to have such a a image on the window of their establishment?
On the window of their establishment.
Like this [ __ ] is bold as [ __ ] North Carolina, who owns this business?
Who owns this business? North Carolina, we need to know who owns this business.
A black woman was cancelled for saying that we should stop going to the Asian beauty supply stores. And now that the dust is settled, I just want everyone to know that she was right for multiple reasons, but number one, those beauty supply stores are very antilack. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a story whether it's in the UK, America or France of racism, of discrimination, of profiling that they've experienced. On top of that, they sell a not all of them, but a lot of them sell outofdate products that are full of carcinogenics and they sell skin bleaching creams. A girl came here the other day and she said she went in to go get bleacher for her hair. He took her to go get bleacher for her skin. On top of this, we will complain that economically we are behind and a lot of that is due to systemic racism. But the things that are in our control, i.e. the billions that we give to the hair and beauty industry, we could be giving that back to our own community by investing in other black people and their businesses, but we don't.
Why is that? Unpack that. And no other community is going to let something that's so integral to their day-to-day be outsourced. No other community would do it. They wouldn't. And if we lived in a society where these stores weren't being racist, they weren't discriminated against us, and you know, we went to each other's businesses equally, great.
But we don't live in that world. So why is >> I see you guys as heavy on this Asian boycott [ __ ] So I have two questions.
What have been your personal experiences with Asian businesses in your communities?
you know, because I only go to eat, you know, Asian cuisine probably five times out the year. And I've been going to the same beauty supply store for at least 25 years. And I've been going to the same nail tech for at least maybe six, seven years now. So, and I don't have any issues when I deal with Asian businesses.
So, I just want to know what are your personal experiences when you deal with Asian businesses? Second question.
is if you have had bad experiences with the Asian community in their businesses, is it located in high crime areas where they have experienced theft, property damage, vandalism, and things of that nature.
I'm asking these questions because sometimes I think that these Asians are just abrasive because they are in high crime areas and it's really not being racist towards black people in general.
It's the fact that they are in high crime areas that are predominantly black communities.
So, could you please answer the question and honestly in the comments? I really would appreciate it because I think if you're going to try to stop stop someone and [ __ ] them economically, you should at least have an open conversation about, you know, whether or not, you know, your personal experiences with the Asian community um warrant you as an individual wanting to boycott their businesses.
And that there, you guys, is the prime reason why we need to stand firm in what it is we're doing when it comes to these Asian businesses that are within our communities.
This type of [ __ ] right here, they don't care. They don't care.
They're only in a uproar right now is because they see they see that their [ __ ] is about to blow up. They see the money coming out of their community left and right. They can see it happening.
They know that they are too dependent on the black dollar for their businesses to thrive, for their businesses to sustain.
That's why they're so outraged with the with knowing that we are doing a ban of their businesses cuz it's not even a boycott. We're not even doing boycott no more. So, let's take boycott out of our vocabulary right now. This is a ban. And a ban means we will no longer we will be no longer engaging with any of their businesses that are within our communities.
Any of them. This is the [ __ ] right here that tells us they could care less about anything that's going on in society surrounding their their peace. Peace y'all. Grin rising for all of my new followers. I'm so glad to have you here. Take some time, go through my page. I am Coach AK, an emotional support coach. Your emotions matter. The pinned first video of the page is how you get in contact with some of the material that [music] is created to teach us, how to regulate our emotions, what they're telling us, and how to use them for your highest good.
Moving on to the post that I posted, the update for the Asian boycott aka boy Asian ban. Um, there are several comments on there that totally understood what the point in me saying the update as to what happened at the Indian gas station.
But then there are those of us whose cognitive dissolence just slid slap out [music] their ass. Okay, the point in me letting and making an update is to let [music] it be known that here in Jacksonville, Florida, the boycott is being felt. So much so that the people providing Asians, Indians that are providing certain services, their business traffic has been so low to the point where when we do step into their establishments as of right now, aka yesterday, they are giving us the utmost hospitality. The [ __ ] wasn't about a cup of ice. It wasn't about that. As of right now, I have yet to find a blackowned gas station. However, I have so many people in my comments that are connecting with one another and sharing um different blackowned businesses here in Jacksonville, Florida, which I'm grateful of and I'm thankful that so many people are connecting through one post, people of color.
What I am never [music] going to do is go back and forth with anybody in my comments. I think that that is absolutely [ __ ] and um not going to display a lack [music] of because I am extremely intelligent, especially emotionally.
So, with that being said, if anybody across the United States [music] that is black, melanated, aboriginal to this land, indigenous to this land, that has a gas [music] station that is owned by people of this color right here, please comment. so that we can figure out a way to franchise your gas station for the melanated community. Okay, it's possible.
>> We can do this.
I'm not entertaining any dumbass comments about this Asian boycott/ban because it's happening and it's working and we feel it. respect is gonna be kept and it's gonna be had from them to us and us to us. You feel me?
>> So, prove it. Prove it. Where's this so-called pew pew that y'all keep trying to say that that little boy had? Because multiple eyewitnesses on the scene who saw this whole thing go down said that they ain't never seen no pew pew. He ain't never have no pew pew. And even if he did, that baby was shot from the back. in the back running away from a perceived threat that he saw because he had two grown ass men chasing him 130 yards. So if we want to run with a self-defense argument, baby, you don't shoot somebody in the back when it's self-defense. The threat's already retreating. The threat's already leaving your premises. There is no threat to you. What happened was two model minority individuals decided that when they saw a little boy that was black, they were not going to see a little boy.
They were going to see an adult and they were going to accuse him of stealing.
That's what that woman, the wife, the mother who was in the store saw that little boy touch a product, a water bottle, four water bottles that he put back because it's on camera and said thief. Didn't bother to find out. Didn't bother to check the camera. She already made an assumption and that assumption based on her antilack racism that white supremacy has implemented and indoctrinated her to believe cost that baby his life and y'all are okay with that. This is why this is why because I can I can't I'm dumb.
I wanted to add my two cents to the talk about boycotting Asian businesses.
[music] Um fully agree with that. We need to divest from spending our money in places where we are not [music] valued, supported, or appreciated. In addition to that, we need options of where to go. I don't know a black woman who doesn't get her hair done. She gets her hair done. She gets her nails done.
We need to know where else to go.
[music] If you do hair, tag these businesses if they're in your location.
I'm in Charleston, South Carolina.
[music] Where can I buy my hair other than the Asian businesses? Where can I get my nails done other [music] than the Asia the Asian businesses? We need options as to where else to go. So if you any post that you come across that is in your area, tag it. Let people know where to go. In addition to that, if you do hair, if you do nails, be on time.
Communicate with the people. Stop trying to get over on people. [music] Make us want to come and spend our money with you. Let's make this happen. We do not need to go. would not appreciate it.
