Man, time flies.
I haven't been to ANY of those cafes in Detroit....lol.

There is one cafe I used to go to quite a bit and I'm surprised it wasn't on your list, Nandi's House of Knowledge.

Thank you sir, but that comment wasn't meant to be a criticism of the list!
It's appreciated because it hipped me to a lot of new spots I need to hit the next time I go back to Detroit.

I was kind of thinking "out loud" as I remember the various spots I used to frequent when I lived in the city....lol.

I'm kind of surprised at Seattle having so many Black owned cafes.
I been there a bunch of times.
Although it does have a Black presence, it's a fairly White city, lol.

@Pioneer1 YEah I comprehend I am just stating what I did in support....

 

I am not surprised I believe I listed in an economic corner edition quite a large number of small black owned businesses in my neck of harlem which is one of many regions of black small business in nyc. It goes back to Frederick Douglass and the composite nation. Small black owned businesses in white cities: NYC/Chicago/LA/Seattle/Cleveland/Houston/ et cetera is a financial result of that philosophy. Arguably: Frederick Douglass+Booker t washington+ young WEB Dubois each held the same fiscal perspective to Black empowerment in the USA. None of them was about a black owned firm controlling a market, each were about a black owned firm/firms having a respectable share as part of the Statian whole. Garveyites + the Exodusters financially, viewed  the goal of black people to be black fiscal domination in our sphere and eventually in competition to the non black. so... most of the black movements starting with the black church planned on what we are expereincing which the black populace in the usa achieved, non violently, not killing native americans or others for land or resources, not enslaving other humans beings for inequal labor situations, not having a country of militaristic power, like nuclear power,  like china/india/russia supporting our activities in the usa. So.. slowly the black populace got to where it, in majority leadership,  wanted to in the past, but absent any of the crimes to others the non blacks committed for their wealth which they plus some blacks seem to not know or forget.
