The Black race has tremendous economic potential. In the U.S. alone, Black people generate over $1.8 trillion dollars in buying power (total income after taxes). Unfortunately, we only spend approximately 3% of it with Black businesses, while handing away 97% to other races.
This creates massive wealth for other races, but leaves our race poor and dependent on other races for jobs, businesses, welfare and our survival.
"It is unfortunate that we should find ourselves at this time the only disorganized group. Others have had the advantage of organization for centuries, so what seems to them unnecessary, from a racial point of view, becomes necessary to us, who have had to labor all along under the disadvantage of being scattered without a racial aim or purpose."
To solve this, TAG TEAM Marketing International, Inc. created the Buy Black Movement to get and maintain millions of Black people buying from Black-owned businesses consistently, which will:
"Negro producers,
Negro distributors,
Negro consumers!
The world of Negroes can be self‑contained."
- Marcus Garvey
The Buy Black Movement utilizes the economic formula given to us by Marcus Garvey almost a century ago. TAG TEAM Marketers (Negro distributors) pull together Black businesses (Negro producers) and Black consumers (Negro consumers), and get Black consumers buying products from Black businesses. This creates the continuous 'movement' of Black money to Black businesses, and in return the continuous 'movement' of Black products to Black consumers. The result is a self-contained 'Buy Black Movement' where Black money continously gets spent within the race, creating jobs, wealth and prosperity for Black people:
"Have you ever stopped to think of the thousands of dollars spent daily by colored people in a community like Harlem, or any other community with a large colored population? How much of this money gets back into your pockets in one way or another? Not much, oh? How do you account for that? Easy enough when you stop to think that there are not enough businesses controlled and operated by colored people in proportion to their numbers in any given community.
If fifty percent of the money spent by us daily for commodities of every kind were spent among ourselves, do you realize the tremendous advantage the race would have?"
"The world is looking to see what the New Negro will achieve in the field of commerce. We firmly believe that a brighter day is dawning for men and women of African descent."
