New Online forum allows Black Consumers to communicate their business experiences to other Black consumers by posting comments and complaints online. Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 3, 2005 -- The “Black Consumer Business Bureau” was officially launched on August 30, 2005 at the Oak Lawn Hilton. The organization was designed to promote fairness and equality in business/consumer relationships through voluntary self-regulation and to allow Black consumers a forum to communicate their experiences to other consumers., as well as to rate companies based on their experiences. The Black Consumer Business Bureau operates out of its new website at: www.blackconsumerbb.com. The organization was created out of recognition that inequality in business practices exist and that the Black consumer is often the victim of systematic discrimination by business practices as evidenced by disclosures of discriminatory practices in finance, lending, health care, insurance, and disparity of treatment in retail, hotel, and restaurant services as well as those that exist within many other venues. While a number of forums currently exist to ensure high ethical business practices in the United States, this is a unique forum dedicated to African American discussions of their unique business experiences. The annual buying power of the Black consumer is estimated to be in excess of 650 billion dollars. Given the substantial contribution blacks provide to the global economy, it is imperative for the Black consumer to be aware of each others business experiences to assist the Black consumer in making informed decisions based on consumer feedback, with respect to their potential business relationships. The Blackconsumerbb, recognizes that it is also important for businesses to be aware of the discussions and opinions Black consumers have concerning their business and sends a copy of every comment or complaint to the respective business. The Blackconsumerbb provides an opportunity for the member business to have a negative comment or complaint removed from the site by agreeing to voluntarily respond to the consumers concerns and recommends that Black Consumers seriously consider patronizing the business members listed on their website. The Black Consumer Business Bureau is currently seeking business members to join with them in promoting fairness and equality in business practices. We have been featured in various publications and on radio and sincerely hope that your publication would feature the “Black Consumer Business Bureau” in an upcoming issue.
