I won't support any business that sells inferior products, Black owned or not. Maybe I am the only one that feels this way. But I don't like it when mainstream companies make products geared specifically for us (ie. Revlon's African Pride, Flori Roberts). Likewise, I don't want to see Ralph Lauren or Donna Karan selling hip-hop apparel. If they make a line of products that is geared toward everyone, that's fine. If we stop buying Joico, Aveda, or Paul Mitchell, those companies will still have a large customer base. But if we stop buying Soft Sheen or Optimum products, these companies will go under. Just something to think about.
