It makes no sense to kick them out and now ask them to come back. That means they did not actually have a valid reason for kicking them out in the first place.
Yes, it is THEIR property you are wanting to do business in - remember? To do things YOUR way - you need to buy some land and build YOUR own building and then you have the freedom to do YOUR thing!
@@bostonteaparty3926CORRECT!! Instead of spending as they get money, they should SAVE that money and buy their OWN building or land; however, it's always easier to blame race. It's the only game in town.🤷♂️
Racism! Let's *STOP* abusing that word! It has been used as the get *"I have been treated wrong"* and the *"get out of jail free"* card for so long - that the word has *NO* meaning anymore! It is just like the chicken little story - you scream it so much that people just start to ignore you, and when and *if* it really does happen - no ones wants to hear about it because you have been screaming it 25,000 times a day for 365 days a year over and over again! YOU GET IT????!??!
That’s a lie. Companies factor in media blowback when this occurs but because they don’t expect us to collectively support black business owners or because they know it’ll be buried in the media, they don’t mind engaging in controversial and shady business tactics. For instance: As much Dr. Umar and Charleston White as I consume, this video is an entire year old 🤔 yet it’s just now making it to my video feed?
Hi I owned a boutique and abruptly put me out, telling me that their not going to renew my lease. Another 8 black business were put out in a matter of a 6 month time frame! The mall is located in Charleston SC! Cbl Properties is the name of the company!
The type of people you guys attract to the mall , your community is to blame . Look at Walmart , Target etc . They ALL packed up and leave your neighborhoods .Truth is Truth .
These malls are struggling across the nation. Sooner or later, there will be no malls, just outlets and store fronts. Lots of businesses have fled the malls due to lack of customers coming in these places. Hope all that terminated were able to bounce back quickly and moved to a better location.
No it’s actually the other way around. People stopped going to the mall after they started closing a bunch of stores. Like how out of nowhere at the time when first became president they just all of a sudden closed most of the Rue21 stores everywhere, then not too long after that they started closing down JCPenny in certain locations. Everybody went to those stores, especially JCPenny
@F1ukez you would be surprised how many people have contempt for black people that they would cut off their nose in spite of their face yes that is true they do want the rent on time however when they see that you're getting too much money whatever that threshold is they're going to want more money for the rent or for you to lease out that space so it's like yeah they want the rent they don't want you to be in their destitute penny-pinching giving them $50 a week to make ends meet no they want you to make enough to pay the rent but there's a threshold that they don't want you to get too far high I hope that makes sense because this is something that black Americans have been dealing with were we allowed to have a little something to the point where we can you know make ends meet but the whole thing is they don't want you to get too big for your britches
I'd say it was because of the ad being a bit adult but Victoria's secrets exist in malls also... Seems silly to harass business owners when Malls all over the country are going under.
Its clear racism but remember unity is strength they need you just as much as you need them it's time for the people to come together and show them that enough is enough
As a black person, I don’t think it’s racism. I think the problem is a clientele, specialty sneakers, bring ghetto clientele, and I wouldn’t want that around me either.
It’s sad, but so true. I have patronized these businesses and the clientele is not always the best. They attract customers that can become unruly and disruptive. It’s not the majority but enough to cause problems and make people stereotype or generalize. This small minority group of people ruin it for the majority.
It's rarely racism but perpetual victims will always lead with the race card. Smh. You would think they'd be too embarrassed by now but the saying of "Never ashamed, always offended" reigns true.
I think this may be a classism issue. One thing all of these business owners and their stores have in common is they appear to be "lower budget" and unpolished in appearance, which others may perceive as unprofessional, although that may not be the case. Their personal appearances and store displays could use an upgrade in order to be suitable for a shopping mall. They come off as being extra, but sometimes less is more. But if they want to maintain as is shopping centers might be a better location for urban types of businesses than shopping malls. With that being said, I do not doubt that there are corporate businesses who find their profit margins to be a threat to their bottom line.
I think the second story is about race. Seems like they tried to blame him for an incident that he had nothing to do with. The first lady was dealing with something else.
If these businesses were barely getting by, there would be no issues. The corporations can’t stand when small business sales are better than corporate sales.
Stop sharing your success online 😂😮stop bragging, move in the shadows 😊 self inflicted,how would they have known how much money you are making if you don't post on social media 😂
Unless you’re a S&P 500 the mall can do whatever they want and if you’re bragging about how much money you’re making you’ll lose to a bigger guy. For the one guy bragging about making a mil learn not to brag about earnings because he’s not a public company. Private ones never say what they make
Duhhh we don’t know how to have a business when I say that it’s becsuse a lot of us are late on rent ,poor professionalism & we have terrible customers 3 -4 malls are now closed here in my city not because of the economy because parents dropping their kids off to the mall & the kids shooting ,fighting & stealing ijs
Idk about the Santa thing because I don’t think those are appropriate banners to display in a family setting but at the same time they could have given them a warning and a chance to take down the banners
The Agenda store can’t be told what to sell if it’s not in the contract. Did he sign a lease saying that he CAN’T sell shoes? If so, that’s on him and he’s stuck in his agreement.
Probably shouldn’t portray Santa in a bad light when kids visit the mall to take pictures with Santa. Her business isn’t the only business in the mall and it’s important to have cohesiveness around the holidays she’s a business owner the bigger picture is important one bad store is enough to go to another mall if it brings bad customers
Pretending the “naughty” display was just normal mall display- pretending to the last second. The poem is about naughty children, not naughty adults. Why not admit you are keeping up with VicSecret & be honest & proud of it?
These actions are coming from the Top...the shoe makers... During the pandemic (DTC) direct to consumer, was a lucrative business model. Many companies, main one, Nike shifted to this business model. They eliminated relationships with retailers alll together, now a few years later, the companies lost money focusing on that singular source of sales...Now post pandemic and smaller businesses are entering the shoe space,and who are doing quite well are now being harassed by malls. All because Nike wants to get back into Footlocker and other retailers, but they gotta get these small, mostly black businesses out of the way...THAT Nike report was conducted by CSNBC...😊
As a white troll, you know damn well its racism especially when whites and other races misbehave. It's easy for you racists to try and block our progress, amerikkka don't believe in equality.
These malls suck. It’s about 55/45 e-commerce to brick & mortar… you would think they’d keep the non anchor stores that actually bring foot traffic. Defamation of character on Santa? Literally CRACKED me up😂😂😂! I wouldn’t go back either unless the Lord didn’t say the same.

Yep 👍
All malls require sales reports for audits and usually require a percentage of sales. That is standard.
Here, here! They need to be glad a store wants to be there.
It makes no sense to kick them out and now ask them to come back. That means they did not actually have a valid reason for kicking them out in the first place.
Of course
Right.
Simple. New lease, new agreements.

It Was A Black And White Racist Thing.. You Already Know.. How The Top CEO Runs 👿.

Not family appropriate for a mall setting.

That’s the truth!! It’s disgusting!! I’m glad they’re exposing this bs. It’s not cool. Black businesses deserve to have the opportunity to thrive too.
Not true at all
That part that's the real reason right there independent black economics is the threat
We black people can't stand to see each other do better either.
But keep ur business to urself
What’s the point in putting them in just to take them back out when you knew what they would be selling when they signed the lease?
Black people need to stop bragging online also. Just do business without the extra. No reason for anyone to know he made 1million. Jealousy is real.
Exactly.this is one area we are responsible for! Just be quiet sometimes
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm confused though. wouldn't they want the business to do well because they know the store will be able to pay rent on time?
