Wallo “I ain’t going to be finessed off some Black shit!” “Either you got a good business or you don’t!”

He’s right.. but let’s see how others react
Wallo message feels inconsistent. On one hand, he says he spends his money wherever he wants—fair enough, I can respect that. But then he claims he won’t be finessed out of supporting Black-owned businesses, which I also support. The real question is: what happens when you spend your money in a community or business that doesn’t care about you or your community?
I believe in supporting Black businesses because we often need each other to thrive and grow. If their product doesn’t meet expectations, I’ll give constructive feedback to the person in charge. If nothing changes after a second visit, I’ll move on. But I’ll always start with the belief that supporting us is essential—because too often, we’re the ones who need that initial push to get off the ground.

He obviously means sale a good product and service as a black owned bizz in order to get the support you want and need.. don’t try to sell bullshit and bank on being black for people to support you, pretty much hustle people just by being a black own biz and not a good biz
That is the real question. By the way, he sounds like a complete idiot. Most of his audience must have the mentality of a Trump voter. Why are so many people following these idiots on YouTube?
He claims to be a motivational speaker, yet he struggles to articulate his message effectively. Who is his target audience?
To me it was clear as day at what he was saying.. he don’t need to claim he’s a motivational speaker he obviously at a seminar getting paid to be 1.. he has actual receipts and vids showing him in action , “claiming” is saying without showing any proof
It's the truth tho I get pissed when I'm tryna support a black business and they giving me their ass to kiss like foh I went out my way to come here cause it's black owned and this how yall doing it? It's cool I won't be back
Then it's times like I'm trying to get ppl to support this local juice bar in my neighborhood has good service and my ppl don't care that pisses me off

Being a black owned business I can see both sides. I would say be patient and have some empathy. I am not saying just give your money away to poor service, but to provide feedback before cutting the business off. What I learned is that it takes money and experience to have good customer service.
I have a digital marketing company and my cleaning business. My marketing agency generates around 2 million a year while my cleaning company brings in around $650,000
Often times, when starting a business we don’t think about the customer experience. Despite my best intentions, I lost a lot of customers because of customer service. Now my customer experience is great because I Invested money into it.

Makes sense. Support black owned businesses that do what they're supposed to. Don't Support them just off the strength that they're black owned. We shouldn't have to settle for inferior products and services in our communities.
It’s sad that in 2025 common sense ain’t common anymore and that someone has to say the captain obvious and people are acting like this is new knowledge. People forgot that as a customer you should be getting quality products and service. Back in the days a biz was big on providing quality products and services. It’s why people had furniture that lasted decades, cars that lasted long, food that tasted great and in lot of cases were good portions, people actually did a hell of a job providing service. You felt like you got your moneys worth plus more. Cause that product/service was great through word of mouth you put others onto it and you revisited said biz over and over. That’s why lots of mom and pop stores lasted for decades
Who was the audience? That maybe the most niggary public speaking I ever heard.
There is a lot of arrogance and self serving in his delivery. Imagine if he and others who had the ability to, took the big brother approach to black businesses. Seek to Invest in businesses that have the potential but not the funding nor maybe the know how to grow.

How you say it can be as important as what you're saying. Marketing matters.
There use to be people who use to sell their “music or beats” all over nyc.. they in particular would be in places like 25th, Fordham road, downtown Brooklyn, parades, etc.. they wouldn’t have radios or cd players so you could actually hear their music to see if you might like it and want to buy it, they would just hope you cop their music off “ come on man support a bros”; some would be charging anywhere from 5-15 bucks.. now off of supporting entrepreneurs you might would cop it off the strength, than when you get home find out it’s a blank cd, or some random music, or something that’s purposely trash.. now you ass out 5-15 bucks cause you “wanted to support a bros” .. there were/ are people out there that use that whole support a bros to scheme individuals out of money.. it seems he was talking about individuals who have that mentality to get over on us or people who half ass or bullshit people to make a dollar but don’t give a shit about making sure the consumer is happy.. ya thinking of struggling biz when he’s talking about the con artist or the people that just don’t give a shit and get over
Some of y'all ain't understanding what the man is saying. He's saying you don't get a pass on doing bad business period. Now, you still get more consideration for me to patronize your business being Black owned, but you can't keep my business being janky and that goes for any business I spend my money on. I've had three Black lawn guys in the last 4 years. Two were inconsistent in showing up and the current has been on the job for about a year. I'm in San Antonio so a Mexican lawn guy that will get shit done on a good level for cheap is a stones throw away. Don't take my support of Black people for granted is all I'm saying.

In my personal shopping behavior you get a lot of points for being black and being local. You also get a lot of consideration. Consistency is hard in any business and sometimes some businesses are just having a bad day. We don't judge a player off their worse game and we shouldn't judge a business off one bad experience. I will give black business a chance. I am more likely to visit a new black business than a new white business. I got a a 15 minute rule for 90% of the shit I buy. If i'm buying it in person I'm not traveling more than 15 minutes to shop. That keeps me local and keeps money flowing into my community. I'm lucky I live a place where there are probably 10 wing spots within 15 minutes so if one fucks up I can ban them for a couple months and go to the others.
There is a positive way to say everything. If you really support black businesses we have to work on all aspects. From education training investment etc. We need a black stock market. We need more black venture capital firms. We need more black associations working to support black businesses.
Clearly being black wont get me to eat a bad sandwich. But it will get me to go back 60 day's later to see if the sandwiches are still bad. LOL

Bruh, that shit sounds kinda like he is a boot licker. On the one hand he is right about buying quality, but white folk do some fucked up shit as well. Now, I won't spend my money if shit is over priced. Or, if the business is not clean, but we in America. Your business has to be presentable and clean or you are fined by the government. Yeah, we got some hood shit but even the hood shit is clean. Shit might be old, and outdated as far as the aesthetics, but the product is the same. Most black business today are on point. You can't compete if you don't have a business that follows modern aesthetics. My two cents.
I got a black business and the struggle is real, but I go above and beyond because I want my people to have a wonderful experience. When it is all said and done, I want them to be financially secure when that trying time comes around. I sell financial products. I will eventually get into real estate. This is where I want to be but, I will still do right by my consumers. Who, more then likely will be, Black like me. So, we should support one another, make our lives easier in such a stressful environment.
Nope. Sounds like he’s a black consumer that expects a certain standard when he’s spending his money on something.. don’t attempt to con him and use your skin color to get over on him.. every broder aint a broder and that includes the consumer and biz relationship.. are people actually mad that a black man is saying he wants black consumers to get quality products and service now instead of con artists using an angle to fuck them over
If your customer stinks and you keep your business looking a hott mess my money is no good there...black,,white,,mexican & Asian....
I see where you coming from and if that what he meant then I can understand what his trepidation. To me, I thought he was just shitting on black business. I know a lot of black people who wont step foot in a black business. But, my issue with that is, the same people are running white businesses we shop at. And that is our people. Walmarts, fast foods, etc. Who are running these businesses? Black people.
What I said is what he meant.. he clearly says it first 18 secs
A powerful practice among strong communities is that the people will approach a business owner and let that owner know if their business can use improvement and how it can be improved. After which if the business man is still poor at doing business. The business is bought from them and taken over by someone who can run the business right. That is how you sincerely keep the money in your community. That is what Jews have done for hundreds of years.
For people that’s not comprehending what he saying let me give you a bgol version explanation/scenario
Your best friend or family member getting married uve been put in charge of putting together the bachelor party so you got 2 options to look for dancers for the event
Option 1 a black guy who has some of the wackest looking talent pool, who prices are high, and the talent is lazy
Option 2 a Latin dude who got a very nice well rounded talent pool, with nice prices, and the chicks are very talented
Are you going to get the subpar chicks from option 1 cause he’s black and give your boy a wack ass bachelor party just cause you wanted to support a black entrepreneur or are you gonna go with option 2 cause you want your boy to have a great time and something to remember in the future?
Now if you pick option 2 would you feel guilty by spending your hard earned money on a quality product? Or would you not give a fuck that option 1 goes hey support me cause I’m black I’m black

Is it me or does it matter if a black owned biz gives back to the pple that support them?
That's the way I dictate if you are black owned or not. Are u taking the money and blinging more? Or are u building something for the next generation?
Just my 2 cents!!

I'll say this, I've had some good and bad experiences dealing with black own businesses in philly, new jersey and online. While some of them did improve to make it right after I gave them a 2nd chance with some constructive criticism being respectful about it.
I agree with wallo, just because it's black owned doesn't mean I have to support it when they don't meet my standards of quality, great customer service, being clean and professionalism.
At the end of the day, I want to support as many black owned businesses as I can, and hope that i receive good business from them.

Duhh
I don't know how his speech will go over coming from someone that's from a place like philly where the slogan is "Do for self".
There's good and bad in everything and you just have to find what's acceptable to you and support that because lord knows I've dealt with some scammers,fakers,whatever but in doing so I've met some decent people who do good work.
Wallo can do whatever but be mindful,it's all good today but tomorrow....

Don't forget the ''Black people can be racist too.''
There's a couple ways to look at it and most importantly yea i get it but sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it.
Mocking & saying the ''support me because i got a Black Business is a hustle'' is disingenuous and such a broad statement to make, yea some Black people are or will use it as a hustle but don't just leave it at that, what about the ones that aren't?...how about you talk about them also and name the names of these businesses since you have a platform where you can speak to alot of people and bring support and more business to these establishments. Don't just focus on the bad & if you run into one that has low quality do you give them constructive criticism or just say fuck it and generalize everyone and put them all in a box?
The whole point is ''giving a fuck about what color you is''... and to look for a Black Owned spots first because of what color they are and if it ain't up to par then i'll go elsewhere until there is no other Black options and go non-black only because u have to at that point.
Because If there are a 5 of the same restaurants one owned by a asian, a mexican, a latino, a honkie and a Black person and they all are clean, good service/food and prices are the same and everything else is the same, YES i'm still going to the Black spot because they're BLACK.
Then he start talkin the braggadocios nigga shit about being the #1 nigga in the country and having millions like nigga ok you gettin money now nigga so what, you gettin millions by interviewing Black people that made your podcast what it is so you can have the ability to make millions, don't forget that and keep making them millionaires like you said & hopefully more black ones cuz that's the only real shit you said in that statement.
At the end of the day Wallo this is just a nigga from the hood that went to prison got out and got some shit going with his cuzin with a podcast struck gold and is on some motivational speaker shit so i can't expect him to be perfect but dude need to work on his delivery and definitely be clear and precise on what's coming out of your mouth when going around the country as a public speaker.
It was a 60 second clip of what could’ve been a 60 min or longer seminar.. for 59 mins dude could’ve been given info on how and where to get free grants, telling people how to network, keys to open up a biz , all kinda positive info.. than he could’ve said please when you opening up your biz make sure you do it from the heart and make sure to sell a great product or service, please don’t try to hustle people by using your skin color and taking advantage of our people loyalty to seeing a black biz succeed and grow by supporting you. Don’t use your black card to fuck over other black people. Than camera comes on and you get 60 second sound bite of what he said not knowing all the other positive things he said prior . This is how quickly people try to use an angle or agenda to put you in a negative light and people run with itDon't forget the ''Black people can be racist too.''
