2020 has really been the worst year and the best year at the same time. Soooo, we already know why this year sucks, but you know what's so good about this year...revelations! Exposure of "the real" in people, relationships, and ideologies has been fast and steady these past few
months and it has been wild. Even on this app, people are getting EX-FUCKING-POSED, and I love every bit of it. I along with some other folks have sat patiently on the sidelines just observing and waiting. Waiting for a crumb, a smidgen...an IOTA of fucking integrity and still
nothing. Now I'm not going to lie to you, I live for grudges and pettiness when you try to fuck me over and insult my intelligence. Soooooo I just sit and wait on the opportunity to put you on blast because at that point, I'm over it.
I love supporting small businesses especially small Black businesses because it feels good to put my Black dollars in a Black business. Anybody that knows me and has peeped my closet knows I have a thing for shoes. I'll buy em discount or pay full designer price depending on
the style of the shoe, the comfort, the co-ordination of my gear, whatever. When people approach me with products for purchase, especially a new business, I don't mine taking a risk to support you. I have an MBA in marketing and I work as a product owner so I like providing a
critique of your product. Case in point: @BuildBlkUS had on online retail shop which had the below offering, which I thought was pretty cute:
I was offered a coupon for the pre-order. So I tossed in my PayPal and kept it moving. Now mind you, he had a different Twitter account at the time of purchase. Not a big deal to me cuz I change my shit weekly...but I digress.
So I DMd @BuildBlkUS a couple of weeks later to check the status and he apologized for the delay but that the shipment would be going out in a few weeks.
Well chiiiiile the few weeks turned into 52 weeks cuz I have yet to see the shoe and the website is defunct.😂
Theeennnn come to find out I wasn't the only one out here getting grifted. There has been no follow-up, no apologies, and no discussion of refunds or exchanges. But you get on this app all proud with diamond engagement rings. That is not a good look. You cannot be a crusader for
Black people and do this kinda shit to Black women. For me... It aint even about the money, I buy shit on a whim because that's what I like to do.
You've violated trust Bro, plain and simple. And It ain't nothing you can say to me that will make me see it any other way.
And nowwwwwww...
Ohhhh so 13 months later we wanna work shit out now:
And now he's willing to sacrifice himself to make me feel better. Mannnn fuck alllll the way off.
