There’s so many shameless vultures and parasites who see pro-blackness with utter contempt.” [ RAGS SAYS- TRUDAT!] While another asked: “How can you make your livelihood of the Black community and not believe in the community prospering? RED FLAG!!! BAMBOOZLING the community too.” [RAGS SAYS- JOKE TING!] Several Twitter users saw the discussions as an opportunity to highlight the importance of black ownership and went on to list several black owned hair businesses and shops the black community should support instead. [RAGS SAYS- TEL DEM ALREADY, TEL DEM AGAIN!] If you heard the full version of the recording, you would have heard me talk about the large amount of support we extend to black-owned and operate businesses. Peter Mudahy During the podcast, entitled ‘Who Owns the Black Hair Industry? Ms Alie quizzed him about whether Pak’s is, in fact, a black-owned business. RAGS SAYS- IM JUST THE MAN ON THE ROAD BUT WITH GOOGLE THOUGH, SO LETS HAV A LOOK?] Mr Mudahy insisted that it was, and that it was a private partnership of himself and another partner, both of whom are black. [RAGS SAYS- REALLY? GOOGLE SAYS,ON COMPANIES HOUSE, YOUR ACTUALLY SECRETARY OF BLL, AND LIKE PAK COSMETICS, THEY ARE ALL RUN OUT OF 7 REDBRIDGE LANE BY THE HUSSAIN FAMILY, J HUSSAIN , T HUSSAIN, S HUSSAIN. AND U HUSSAIN SINCE THE 8 OF SEP 1999 BUT HEY IM JUST THE ROAD MAN WHAT DO I KNOW?] During the podcast, Mr Mudahy said over the last five years the core demographic of his customer base has changed and Pak’s is now a “multicultural business and supplier.” [ RAGS SAYS- NOW YOU MADE YOUR MONEY FROM US HEY, WELL I ONLY SEE BLACK PEOPLE IN DA SHOP DEM?] He claimed that 40% of Pak’s customers are from an African or Caribbean background, but most of his customers are from other backgrounds like white, Chinese, Brazilian and Greek Cypriot communities. RAGS SAYS - WELL I SEE MOSTLY BLACK PEOPLE IN DER?] He also admitted that one of the strategies to survival has been having multiple stores in one area to act as a block for potential competitors. [ RAGS SAYS- YEH BLOCKING THE BLACK BUSINESSES1] Mr Mudahy said that the clip misrepresented his views. [ RAGS SAYS- MAYBE HIM DID HAV 2 WHITE RUM?] Mr Mudahy said, he is proud of his Jamaican heritage and felt “offended’ while being questioned about his background. [ RAGS SAYS- WELL HAV MORE RESPECT FE IT DEN!] He said: “Anyone who knows me, will know that I am a very proud Jamaican, I was raised in Jamaica, and come from a very strong Jamaican family. [ RAGS SAYS- FE REAL, ME DID THINK SAY YA BRITISH?] “I also have a Nigerian heritage with relatives in and from Nigeria. [ RAGS SAYS - AH SO YOU SAY?] “You could perhaps tell from the tone of my voice in the recording that I was offended at being interrogated about my heritage, and switched to my native Jamaican tongue.” [ RAGS SAYS - YOU SEE AH MAYBE DE RUNM DAT?] He added: “The question I was actually asked is what did I think about black people wanting to only buy goods from black-owned businesses after the George Floyd incident. “The point I was making is that for it be effective, the money needed to stay circulated within the supply chain of other black businesses. [ RAGS SAYS- LIKE ALL YOUR BLACK EMPLOYEES IN HARLOW?] “Many of the suppliers to Pak’s are black-owned and operated businesses, when you visit one of our shops and hand over your pound, it goes to pay their bills and is therefore reinvested back into the “black community” – and therefore needs to continue.” [ RAGS SAYS - FE REAL DE HUSSAIN DEM NAH MEK NUTTIN?] Over the last 18 months, there has been an increasing desire in the black British Community to support black-owned businesses following the murder of George Floyd in the US. The UK Black Hair sector is worth an estimated £88 million but black business only accounts for 5% of the industry. [ RAGS SAYS- SEE IT DEH!] Many believe with a change in consciousness due to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and initiatives like Black Pound Day, things are starting to change and supporting black owned businesses have become second nature. RAGS SAYS WITH MY FINAL COMMENT- WE REALLY DO HOPE SO! RAGS THE ROVING ROAD MAN- AUDI LIKE TT
