I too wondered when they weren’t fighting. One girl ran out and didn’t come back.
For some reason, I thought that was the grandma and that's when I got really ticked. I may have heard wrong.

This!!!!!!!^^^^I'm having some difficulty understanding why only one employee and the customer was arrested when it was half a dozen hostile Viet cong swinging brooms. That's 1.
Two. What is this protest supposed to do?
I dont do mani pedis often...but with an abundance of Asian owned salons all through out Queens and Nassau County of course that's where I go.
I've been to Black salons where the chick didn't want to mess up her own nail art so she did a less than stellar job. Black folks act stush like they dont wanna even touch your feet here! Black salons are far & few between and can charge 2x+ what the Asians are charging.
I'm gonna continue to manage my hands and feet myself for now.
Or they have one person that's never there doing pedicures.where the chick didn't want to mess up her own nail art so she did a less than stellar job. Black folks act stush like they dont wanna even touch your feet here!
Just to be clear. In this neighborhood cops literally don't give flyingI'm having some difficulty understanding why only one employee and the customer was arrested when it was half a dozen hostile Viet cong swinging brooms. That's 1.

@ the bolded i was just coming to say that.They can't call immigration in that neighborhood

Mexicans, Dominicans, Africans, all those Yehmeni folks in the corner stores, Nostrand would be empty.I live in that neighborhood. Mess around and ICE come for everyone.
I’ve been getting my nails done at Black women owned salons for years now—in PA and now that I’ve moved to VA, here. They do exist and they take great care of me. For instance, I go back and forth between acrylic nails and my real nails. Since I don’t want my real nails overly damaged, I ask
for my natural nails to be hand filed. Black women are the only techs who have agreed to that.
If anyone is interested, I found all three of my places by going on Instagram and looking up a hashtag of my area code plus “nails” or “nail art”, like: #215nails.

You wouldn't, but unfortunately many others on this site could not care less. That part of Nostrand Avenue has been at the heart of the Caribbean immigrant community for over 40 years. Like many other parts of Brooklyn, there has been some gentrification, but nowhere near as much as trendier areas.Thanks to you NY ladies for selling out the demographics there. I wouldn't want black folks to get caught up in that with ICE. ...

The community can easily opt to boycott both of the owners' nail shops, which should be enough of a warning to similarly owned shops in the area. I think it is the same area where the Korean grocery was boycotted in 1990 after one of the workers hit a Haitian customer. In that case, the boycott lasted months, and the owners ended up having to close down and sell... although it was sold to another Korean family.
This is stupid. I don't go to any Asian store that is a black community ( I dont care what country they are from). No Asian food, no nail salon, no beauty supply store. The day I see a black little league sponsored by them or see an Asian at the local black owned wing cafe-maybe I'll rethink my position.
They don't put a dime in our communities. They eat in the salon and I never even see one of them at the neighborhood gas station .
We had better boss up as a people or perish. And protesting is stupid. Use that time to mentor a kid. What about putting these folks on ignore?
I dont do my nails at all, just file , buff and keep my hands soft- yet I'm out here turning heads. For gala events, I paint my nails.

That is debatable.My community is more important than egg rolls.
If this is true, ugh. We're always hollering about nobody protesting for bw but here's a protest and a bw is undermining it.
That is debatable.
"Your" community been saying and doing the same thing since 15 year old Latasha Harlins got shot by a Korean store owner in 1991 over orange juice probably longer. My community been saying and doing the same thing about Arab store owners which have a long history of owners molesting black girls while turning a profit and giving nothing back at least since the 70's.
If black folks were strategic we would target these "foreign" businesses for protest to force them out and be ready to install a black business in their place as soon as they leave. But that's not going to happen. The same way it hasn't happened the last 984718945676820972 times this same scenario has played out.
When I see action in enough quantity to match the outrage then I might reassess my views on egg rolls until then pass the sweet and sour sauce.
My community has black owned places. Our chick-fil-a, smoothie king, Wendy's ,mcdonalds, wing place, fried fish place, are all black owned. If the Asians leave, maybe that will free up space for another black owned spot. See "We" took ownership of our community and "We" own it. The neighborhood you are discussing is not my reality. But then, we put community over food. Funny what priorities will do for a community.
So I have been going down the black hole of Asian nail salons on Twitter/youtube. And apparently they do this lock the door and beat people thing all the time.
This is their tactic. Smh
I'm curious to know what people in the legal field has to say about this? I see comments about false imprisonment, which doesn't require any legal justification.. but if monies is owed for services, like an oral contract, is that the justification being used? I don't agree that people should be allowed to restrain a person against their will and not get some sort of legal backlash, whether monies is owed or not...
Looks like these Asians are getting away with this... If they were being sued or arrested for this behaviour, it wouldn't be happening so frequently. Most often, the other minorities/customers are the ones being arrested
They stick with their kind....Vietnamese with Vietnamese, Egyptians with Egyptians, Filipinos with Filipinos. I am 99% sure those Asians in the shop are all one type of Asian.There is always one! We can never all be on the same page. The reasons them Asians and Arabs win is because they stick together.
I’m glad to hear black men out there protesting in the vida you posted
