Hundreds help celebrate launch with party at MIST Harlem

It's now a bit easier to locate a black-owned business; all you need is your phone.

“Around the Way” is a new application for iPhone and Android users that uses a phone’s GPS to detect your location, then locates the nearest black-owned businesses and gives you step-by-step directions to their door.

More than 20,000 businesses around the country are already listed; a large number of those are located in New York City, particularly Harlem and Brooklyn, but the app’s reach extends pretty far. There is even a listing for a black-owned bed-and-breakfast in Anchorage, Ak.

One of Harlem’s newest black-owned businesses, MIST Harlem, played host to hundreds who attended a launch party for the free app at the theater/restaurant on W. 116th St. last week.

The developers hope to make people as familiar with the app as they are aware of the fact that black-owned businesses in Harlem have become endangered.

Dennis (Denny Moe) Mitchell, owner of Denny Moe’s Superstar Barbershop on Frederick Douglass Blvd., was unaware of the app. After a reporter told him about it, he quickly downloaded it and found his shop listed, with directions and all.

“I think it’s an excellent thing,” Mitchell said. “If it’s going to help out my business, then by all means.”

Again, the blaring double standard. And what is they are aiming to achieve (with great fan fare)?

The exclusion of some businesses in favor of others based on nothing more than skin color.

Is this the fruits of "The Dream"

that we would shop ... or not, in a location based on the color of the owners skin?

What if the places is owned by an interracial couple, do they get a lower rating or does a notation appear next to their business name?

Now my only objection is that the practice of favoring businesses is not allowed by all groups.

And doen't this type of thing drive wedges between groups, wonder if Obama will condemn it or..... download it? (I think I know).

What-a you want to bet me, there are White folks wracked with guilt who would also access this app to channel their retail dollars away from greedy white owned businesses and might seek out Black owned locations.

(You can't make this stuff up)

Might be just the fees and such. Don't know if she is going to seek any other type of compensation.

She should get a better lawyer and make this travesty work for her. Shame on the patisserie - this is more disgraceful than the Barilla debacle IMHO.

Focus Marvin, this is about a legal argument.

why must you drag your stereo types about Racist America in every conversation.

Wouldn't it have been more fruitful to all if you addressed the legal points to the story.

If need be, I can argue both sides of the case (if you are unable or unwilling).

Ok Danno, what are the legal points? She was told to her face she wasn't hired because she was black. That's racist and discrimination. Your move.

[Jacque67 7,328]

I am shocked that this happened in such a low-end rent place as Queens! I doubt Park Avenue ladies go there to buy cakes.

The owner of the shop and the manager need a reality check.

They are probably some moderately wealthy wash's taking advantage of low rents and attempting to gentrify the area and raise rents to the disadvantage of the locals.

Boycott this shop now, and sue the sh¥t out of them. Disgusting !

Even though this was racist and she was discriminated against she shouldn't seek legal redress because that would prove black people are whiners and spongers?

OK Danno. Your mind fascinates me. Please demonstrate your legal prowess and provide credible cases for both sides.

I wait to be dazzled by your arguments.

It's generally not good form to dodge questions and then demand that yours be answered.

So let me ask again.

-Itemize her damages.

-SHould a business owner be made to consent to hiring persons he believes will detract from his business theme?

*I thought the Libertarians would arrive with all their devotion to "consenting adults" and all that.

I haven't dodged any questions.

Please let's hear your arguments for both sides which you claimed to Marvin that you could make.

This is not an Upper East-side patisserie . This is Queens FFS! Get real owner! Detract from theme my ###. France is a multi-cultural country. Vive la France.

Def a Wash scheme. Shhhhhh

I'll ask a better question, how does a black person detract from a business?

[Jacque67 7,328]

Why do Jews hate Blacks?

[Danno 1,228]

Good question, how would Hispanic servers diminish the atmosphere of a Authentic Russian Cafe?

One of the Most stark reminders of how "higher principles" concerning race are all pap is the way the Black Congressional conference, tells white they -Need not apply.

Think about that, within the highest offices of power, this goes on.

This group of the most powerful Blacks gets to turn White members away but this little guy with a cafe does not have the same right?

There is a name for these type of groups.

You can't not hire someone just because they are black, regardless of your perceptions of how doing so might damage your business. This is not news Danno, it's called 'racism'.

The fact that you do not understand why victims of racism deserve damages is your problem. You appear to believe that racism isn't serious and that victims of racism are merely whiners and spongers. That's not new either but it does demonstrate a woeful ignorance of how racism effects those at the receiving end.

I ate at a Hibachi buffet tonight..All Asians working there.. I bought crab at a local Fish market all Tibetans working there. Took my vehicle a couple of weeks ago to a local body shop..All blacks working there..I went to eat at the local Jamaican restaurant a few weeks ago..Again All black staff.

I guess this proves anti-white racism is alive and well.Actually does not prove ####### but you get my point..

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

I guess someone could use that same app to avoid black owned businesses.

Know what is funny...If whites used the app to avoid minority owned businesses and support white businesses that would be seen as shockingly racist.

If blacks use it to avoid white owned business and support black owned business , well that's progress

Yes libs are that stupid

Can you imagine the outrage

You don't have a point if you are trying to justify racism because in your eyes 'other people are doing it'. If any of these businesses were hiring using racist practices then clearly, they can and should be prosecuted. I bet you will find that no whites that have tried to get work in these establishments have been told that they will not get hired because they are white.
