People are doing all sorts of businesses in the background and not necessarily in the foreground. Some are into selling medical equipments, where will they keep it, in a warehouse of course, some are doing sales online getting cheap products imported from china.. Look at this guy, he owns a construction empire https://youtu.be/flGec35W8Rk
Of course, Black people need black support.

Why do you feel the black support is not there for black businesses?

But have you noticed there are hardly any black clubs in London!, What is going on? even before the lockdown. There are hardly any social groups for young people. What are they doing with the lottery money? What are kids supposed to do during their adolescence development. There is not enough social initiatives for black youths in London and its not good for their development. It creates social deprivation, communication problems, lack of creativity , ideas and self esteem problems etc etc.

May be we need to create more social systems in the black community so that it is easier to communicate with each other . If there is 1000 community groups in London then the email of information can be trickled down to everyone. Black newspapers and magazine need to do more to help to promote black systems and black businesses. We have had a few black busineses exhibition but they charge so much money to attend. May be we need a Black TV with a shopping channel. We still dont have these channels like america. May be we need a different company to post leaflets in homes promoting businesses. May be we need to go back to leaflets in abundance; I really dont know but I do know that we need to empower ourselves. Quality is there, knowledge is there, energy is there, so whats missing....it is lack of community initiatives, lack of communication, respect and trust..? I dont know. We need community groups to foster love and respect for each other but where are the community groups for young people to learn, socialise and enjoy activities and to grow ideas for businesses and get help and support each other. You have to learn how to do these things at a young age. No social community groups mean that young people are not getting enough social nutrients to help them understand the wider picture of life - that is survival , communication and inspiration. Of course they can get these information online but they were not socialising enough in person even before the lockdown.
