Philadelphia has declared every Friday in December “shop black businesses Fridays,” and by now I’m sure we’ve all seen “black creators” highlighted on platforms like Netflix and Hulu, or “black-owned brands” given special placement in stores like Target. Personally, I can’t think of a worse way to bring in the holiday season than openly advocating for segregation, but maybe that’s just me. Let’s talk about it.

In this flashback episode of The Gauds Show with:

Ray Daniels (@raydaniels)
@agirlfromharlem
@juju_McLean
@DinaMarto

This episode hits even harder now, as Wallo’s now-viral message from Million Dollaz Worth of Game and Mandii B’s unfiltered commentary on her show Selective Ignorance are dominating the conversation around Black businesses, customer service, and cultural expectations.

With Wallo’s viral video reminding entrepreneurs that customer service is currency, and Mandii B’s recent viral moment on Selective Ignorance saying, “I’m not supporting bad service — Black or not,” this conversation just became the most important one on the internet.

And guess what?

Ray Daniels was already saying it.

In this flashback episode of The Gauds Show, Ray joins @agirlfromharlem, @juju_McLean, and @DinaMarto to break down the uncomfortable but necessary truth: Subscribe to ​⁠@RayDanielsPresents

Supporting Black businesses doesn’t mean excusing bad service.

Direct Quotes from Ray
• 🧠 “I’ve worked in both Chick-fil-A and McDonald’s — and the difference wasn’t the food, it was the ATTITUDE.”
• 🔥 “Black people have the worst customer service in the f***ing world — and it’s killing our own economy.”
• 🧩 “If you don’t respect my time, my energy, and my money — don’t expect me to respect your hustle.”
• 💬 “Support is earned. Loyalty is built. Skin tone can’t carry poor execution.”
• 📉 “You can’t keep asking people to ‘Buy Black’ and deliver worse than your competitors.”
• 🚫 “Stop expecting sympathy — start delivering excellence.”

What This Episode + Viral Moment Tackles
• 🎤 Why Wallo’s clip struck a nerve — “You’re losing customers because you don’t understand how to serve people.”
• 🎙️ What Mandii B actually said — “I’m not buying into guilt marketing. If your service is trash, I’m walking.”
• 🧠 The false loyalty that keeps Black businesses stuck
• ⚠️ The difference between support and standards — and why one doesn’t cancel the other
• 🧱 The real solution: train your staff, love your customers, protect your brand
• 💡 How Ray Daniels predicted this cultural reckoning before it became viral

🔥 WALLO’s viral clip about Black-owned businesses really stirred the pot, and I’m loving the conversation it’s creating. 🔥

Excellence is key—we don’t want pity purchases, we want loyal customers who choose us because we’re the best. 👏🏾 It’s about earning their trust and building a brand that speaks for itself. 💯

But why do we get shamed for saying Black-owned when other communities proudly support their own? 🧐

In this clip, @liajones shares how she’s seen an uptick in support, and instead of just coasting, she’s doubling down on marketing and customer experience to build long-lasting loyalty. 🔥

We’re here to build businesses that are legacies, not charity cases. Let’s be the best—and still be proud to be Black-owned. 💪🏾

Many people love to support Black owned businesses. But are those Black owned businesses capitalizing off of that?
