    Racism.

    Many black and other minority communities had to establish their own businesses because of being excluded from and/or violence against them at white run businesses.

      Bad take. Read the other comments in this thread for the actual reasons.

        I mean, they’re right as well. Especially here in the South. Until recently where small, local barbershops have become almost a thing of the past. The guy I used to see as a kid (when I had no choice) would chase black people out of his shop with a shotgun while shouting slurs.

        His shop only closed when he died in 2010. Racist fucker was almost 100.

        Every barbershop where I am used to be like that.
