^ Who is the owner? American doesn't mean not Korean. Korean ethnics are American citizens too.
Sorry if I missed it up- thread.

JeterCrazed, You seem to know a lot. I wish you would share it without all the abrasive-ness, it really detracts from your larger points.
Leonard Lavin, Chairman & Founder of the Alberto-Culver corporation:
In short.. a rich white guy
Sally's is now a publicly traded company, owned by Sally Holdings LLC. Lavin's company used to own them. They spun off in 2006.

JeterCrazed, You're being rude and you know it.
People are learning the lay of the (bss) land. We, like the good folks of OWS, have an over-whelming sense of unease about an industry that seems to have tentacles throughout this country and internationally. We, much like them, don't trust the regulating agencies and, quite honestly, no longer desire to do business with the offending parties. We are attempting a work-around similar to that which led the OWS movement to encourage a mass switch to CU's, that's what we're DOING.
If you have anything helpful to add, hop to it. If not, stop mucking up the thread.
And you think black people working for black businesses make more than minimum wage?
Do you to the most of your grocery shopping at Whole Foods/ Kings/Food Emporium/Wegman's/ Trader Joes?
Where do you buy your groceries?
I have plenty of Korean friends from college and although they are nice people, I've learned they have little regard for black people period. Sometimes I wonder if Asians are more racist than whites but that's another topic. So anyways, I've been on this boycott for about 2 years. I try to order things online from black owned business or just shop at local DrugStores, Sallys or Organic Grocery Stores. So far I have been successful. I have to admit there have been times I have made pit stops at Korean BSS but I refuse to spend anything over $5.00. I know drug stores, organic grocery stores and Sallys are a little more expensive and out of the way for many black women but believe me it's worth it. You get better customer service and they treat you like a human being.
It might be off topic but i felt the need to chime in. LOL. It's not us in general they aren't particularly feeling, it's everyone. I didn't realize how deep it was until I took Japanese in college and for an entire semester, literally, one side of the room sat all of the Korean students, the other side was Chinese, Black, White, Latino, foreign and American, whatever. I never noticed that ALL THE REST OF US were friendly with each other but THEY only spoke to/sat with each other. Somehow it came up and this Chinese girl I was friendly with who sat next to me said something along the lines of, "Of course they only talk to each other, they're Koreans. They hate everyone else." I was like I don't like to make sweeping generalizations about ANY group of people but what she was describing had been playing out in front of me for weeks. I had never looked at it in that way until she said something to me. This is a group that just REALLY sticks together.
Publix chile!...(Best cakes!)
I see where you're going w/this....but my thing is they are putting up a facade as if the BSS is Black owned...the store i was shopping at....i don't recall seeing an Asian face...Black ppl everywhere!!! Why are they being fake about it? You feel me tho?
It's like saying...."Yeah i will hire all these Black ppl so that they will attract their own ppl since they don't feel comfortable with Asians all around them...but i'm not gonna pay them jack squat! Mwahahahaha...!!!!"
At least that's how it is in my mind....it's like the Black ppl are being used as decoys.
@yorkpatties
Thanks for that! I have heard other Asians say the same about Koreans too...........LOL! One Chinese guy I was dating said if he had to rank Asians by order of who was the most racist he said Japanese and Koreans trump everyone else like elephants. I couldn't help but laugh when he said that. Koreans are a peculiar bunch though, I use to attend an all Korean baptist church and funny thing I felt more at home there than I have at any black baptist church. Funny huh???
A thousand thank yous.
Koreans were enslaved by the Japanese, so of course they have a "look out for each other" attitude. I don't think they hate or boycott anybody, but they are coming up from a long line of oppression by their own people in North Korea and the Japanese. They didn't boycott. They incorporated.

I have been on my own movement for years. The last time i went to KBSS In a predominantly black area of town and the security officer had on full Kevlar with the hat and I was highly pissed. The area is not that bad and it offended me.....
