Black Women Are Lining Up Outside Beauty Supply Where Korean Owner Punched Black Mother – WATCH

*Changseok Jun of Anna & Jun’s Beauty Supply Store in Tulsa, Oklahoma, made headlines earlier this month when he was captured on camera assaulting a Black mother, April Harding, in front of her two young kids.

Nine days later, an employee, a Black female, unlocked the door and shortly afterward she opened the store for business. To the surprise of many, Jun had Black women forming a line outside of his store, some even wait outside willingly, as he only allows a certain number of customers in at a time, The Oklahoma Eagle reported. 

On August 12, Jun followed Harding out of the store when her 3-year-old son allegedly pocketed a .99-cent keychain as they left the store, station News On 6 reported. When she puts her hand out to push him away, he punches her in the face and walks away. The assault left Harding with a busted lip that required three stitches.

Watch the report above.

Since the assault, members of the community have protested peacefully outside the store and State Representative Regina Goodwin (HD-72), who has been on the scene daily since the assault, said, “There are several incidents where the owner assaulted women. These people paid and were accused of not paying.”

An Asian man who owns Jun’s Beauty Supply in #Tulsa #Oklahoma was caught on video punching a Black female customer in the face and giving her a bloody nose. Locals say this store owner has a history of violence against Black female customers. So Black men started protesting outside of the store, in an effort to shut him down. The owner announced a 50% of sale on the products, and now there is a line of Black females customers outside of his store trying to get in. And some of them even started arguing AGAINST the Black male protesters. Is it really that serious to get hair products from these people? Are bundles more important than dignity? Are we willing to get socked in the face for a lace front? Is it this hard for us to get on code?

One of the protestors, Orisabiyi Oyin Williams, had this to say in an August 20 Facebook post:

“I just want to say that today was tough protesting at Jun’s. In the time frame of five hours, I have never been cussed out so many times and had the police called multiple times all in one day.

The saddest part about today was watching a black woman with her 12-year-old son tell us to go F ourselves and that the young lady should have never put her hands on Jun. She said, ‘Where was y’all at protesting when my husband was beating me!’

Then Jun has two black female employees who are acting as his bodyguards. They taunted us as we were protesting as if it was wrong for us to be there. It also saddens me that our elder mothers have been out there from day one, sitting ALL DAY then black women have the audacity to still go in there! They don’t care what he has done to multiple people and including spraying mace at a 7-year-old! As a community we should be there to relieve them and not standing for this! I’m exhausted! It should be way more men out there! What is wrong with us? What is wrong with us?”

The protestors are urging shoppers to boycott that business.
