This blog post is dedicated to our well-known unknown power. Below you will find a few facts. I’ve seen these numbers in several places but not all together to paint a picture. Spreading out this information in some ways dilutes and distracts from the heart of the facts. Numbers tell stories. This is ours…

• The Black buying power is $913 billion (and growing).
• The total sales/receipts for U.S Black-owned businesses are $137 billion.
• If we do the math, this means, of the $913 billion we have to spend, we spend 85% of it outside of our community.

OUCH.

AGAIN: $85 of every $100 we spend is being given to someone else. Increasing their net worth. Building their 2nd house. Opening that 4th business location. Sending their children to college. Keeping them and their family members employed.

For a group that has greater buying power than over 200 countries (and counting), we sure do not live up to our full potential. Our money is -I’m going to say it- useless if it’s not helping our own communities, building stronger legacies, re-writing our story. What’s a community without economic cohesion?! How many Chinatowns exist in America alone? It’s so prevalent, that auto-correct helped me type “Chinatown.”  We’re essentially aiding everyone else reach their American dream- everyone but ourselves.

Imagine if just HALF of our Black dollars ($456 billion) went to Black-owned businesses.

Do you know what that would do to our unemployment rate?

A: Decrease it substantially. If you support more of our businesses, they will have a need for more employees to service their large clientele. Not to say we’ll automatically hire all black people, but Black people have the highest unemployment rate which is a well known fact. The not-so-well known fact is that, Black people are 85% more likely to hire a Black person than any other race.

Or what it would mean for home ownership?

A: We could have several communities with nothing but homeowners. As we support more Black businesses, the owners of these businesses will have enough money and collateral to buy homes. For most of these business owners, their business is their only source of income- if you weren’t aware. They need the income (from supporters like you) to buy homes (like some of you). Home ownership is a GIANT step in improving our neighborhoods. People don’t care as much about their neighborhood when they renting. They have no stock or stake in the upkeep- so why care? This, in turn, has an influence on the property value, neighborhood preservation, crime rates and overall morale.

How many franchises and large corporations do you think we’d own?

A:  If you support our own small businesses, they will have such a demand for their products/services that they will have to expand to meet their consumer’s needs. There could be locations in other states/countries. Imagine if you’re favorite mom & pop shop had 15 locations across the country…BAWSE. Then this mom & pop donated some of their earnings to non-profits in inner cities. Or put their children in prestigious schools, and their children became your children’s teacher, doctor, or attorney general.

We open businesses to benefit our families and community abroad. We cannot stay open when we’re not being patronized. What, then will that mean for our families and community abroad?

A: A great disparity.
