I support Black Pound Day initiative

Hello everybody 

I want to tell you something. Black Pound Day & why do I support the initiative? 

Black Pound Day is all about supporting black owned businesses in the UK & as black Brit (with African roots: Nigerian and South African), I do support it. There are few people (& even racists) who doesn’t seem to understand what Black Pound Day is really about. There is nothing racist about it. The way I see, it’s black empowerment. Just look how the Jewish people do their own thing with their businesses which are kosher & the Chinese people do their own thing with their businesses as we all got plenty of Chinatowns in the world including Chinatown here in the UK with cities: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle & Liverpool. 

If the Jews & the Chinese can have their own businesses to thrive economically and successfully in order to do their thing, then why not black people? Racism & other forms of prejudice & discrimination should never be tolerated at all cost. Especially in financial & economic way. That’s how there are some people who could not seem to understand better. 

Black Pound Day is one annual day of the month on first Saturday of the month. First Saturday on every month. blackpoundday.uk 

Black Pound Day is the initiative that is used to promote black owned businesses in the UK. Owned by black people. The reason why it is created is because black owned businesses are underrepresented in Britain. 

So that’s how someone created the Black Pound Day initiative. It was Swiss from Hip Hop group So Solid. 

I didn’t know anything about Black Pound Day until Saturday 27th June 2020 last year when I looked up on Twitter. Plus, it is very good initiative to support British black owned businesses who are owned indeed by the blacks. It can drive the growth of the UK black economy.

it is a way in response to all forms of racism including systemic racism given this invitative was created after the awful incident in America (death of George Floyd which had sparked many protests in America, Britain & the rest of the world with Black Lives Matter message to strongly oppose & denounce anti black racism). 

I hope and pray that there should be similar initiatives (like Black Dollar Day in America & elsewhere in the world) like the one we have in the UK once a month annually on first Saturday of the month. 

That is why as black blogger, I support Black Pound Day Initiative. My blog is hereby supporting Black Pound Day too. In the lyrics of the song of James Brown. I am black and proud. I am proud that there is such an initiative like Black Pound Day every first Sunday of the month in the UK. 🙂👍🏾✊🏾
