Let me break something down for yall then imma take my mental break from social media for awhile. I see/seen a lot of people saying “White Privilege” isn’t a real thing and thinking it has to do with money. And claiming cops around the world are being oppressed and hated on for no reason and it isn’t fair to them..
Imagine being in highschool liking a girl a lot and she asks you to prom, only to find out weeks later she can’t go with you now because her father didn’t want her going with a black guy. Imagine knowing alot of her family ur whole life and played football with her brother, always cheered for u and seemed nice.
Imagine having to meet ur white grandfather when ur almost 6-7 and having to show him that ur a normal child too just like any other white kid cause it took him longer to accept his daughter has a mixed family. (Better late than never)
Imagine literally having to carry rocks in ur pockets to throw at cars shouting racial slurs at u just for taking a walk in a predominantly white area. Imagine ALWAYS having to check who’s the owner of the house that’s throwin a party that weekend and where it’s at to make sure it’s not literally known klan member territory.
Imagine the endless “oh u have a dad” jokes, “I’m surprised he didn’t walk out on u”
Imagine when slavery’s brought up in the classroom and u get anxiety cause all the white students look at u to see ur reaction.
Imagine gettin pulled over with another black friend for not wearing seatbelts, then one cop car turns into three cars behind you.
Imagine being in the backseat gettin pulled over, ur the only black kid in a full car and suddenly the officer “smells weed” (in funky ass western port of all places).
Imagine having a “friend” u played sports with ur whole life and ur moms were good friends until one night he calls u from a random number and just says “nigger” the whole time cause he was bored and thought it was funny, y’all meet up n fist fight after then never speak to each other again.
Imagine playing in an away highschool basketball game and u hear a grown ass man call u a “nigger” from the stands.
Imagine all the unesseasary stares and uneasiness of some ignorant people cause ur black AND have tattoos.
Imagine just being a KID playing Call of duty with ur friends but almost every time u say something in a lobby and someone random realizes ur black, hella racial slurs get said from kids and adults.
Yes these are 100% true and shit I’ve been thru , n I didn’t post this because I want any attention or want anyone to feel sorry for me, just maybe more people can become more understanding . I LOVE being a black man and I love myself. I’m glad my eyes got opened to this type of stuff young and I know people that have been thru WAYyy worse than me. I just wanted to share SOME personal stories of what it’s like to be a black man and why I say I can’t sympathize with a job profession gettin hated on.
Once again White privilege is a real thing that has nothing to do with money or where u grew up and cops can take their uniform off to take a break from the hate they receive, black people can’t . Period

IT'S TIME!!! With the holidays right around the corner and now that we are moving our living spaces back inside for a few months, it is time to get those rugs professionally hand cleaned. Dust mites, dog hair, moth eggs, animal urine and bacteria need to be controlled with proper cleaning. Supervised by Dr. Azad himself, Azad's of Cumberland is your ONLY natural, chemical free option in the area. We hand clean from back to front and breathe new life into your collectible rugs.
The process does take about 4-6 weeks to complete - so RIGHT NOW is the perfect time to drop off your rugs if you want them back by the holidays. (Thanksgiving is only 5 weeks away)
Just text Dave at 301.723.0818 when you are on your way to 37 N. Centre Street and bring them to the back door on Butler Alley.
Open today until 5 PM (away from the shop today from 11:30AM-1PM for a doctor's appt) and tomorrow from 11AM - 3 PM
PLEASE NOTE: due to COVID-19 precautions, our cleaning/repair services are on a DROP OFF ONLY (no DELIVERY or PICKUP available) basis for the time being and you MUST wear a mask when entering our building.
Just an FYI for today, Friday October 16th: I will be in the shop from 10:30-11:30 AM, and then closed for about an hour and a half while I take Tilly to a doctor's appt. Should be back around 1 PM.
Somebody left a rug in our vestibule during off-hours but did not leave any contact information, phone message or instructions for cleaning and/or repair - if this was YOU, please call or text Dave at 301.723.0818
It's a lovely little rug - we just have no idea what you want or who you are.
Thanks

Hello Members!
We will be having our annual Arts for Giving show from
November 27th - December 20th.
Opening reception will be held on Friday, Nov. 27th from 4-6pm
Artists can drop off their work on November 7 & 8 from 1-4pm
*COVID guidelines will be followed; Social Distancing & Masks required
Gallery Hours: Fri, Sat & Sun 1-4pm
Thank you for your continuous support. We are excited to see all of you soon!
Please remember that our front door is kept locked during COVID-19, so please knock loudly (in case I am on an upper level) or text me at 301.723.0818 for entry. You may also text me for a private shopping appointment. - Dave
We are closed tomorrow, New Year's Day, but will be open again Saturday from 11 AM until 3 PM.
Stop by and see me. I'll be at the shop on Thursday from 11 AM until 5 PM. Great deals on ALL rugs, and a great time to drop off your rugs for cleaning and/or repair work. Our first transport of rugs to Dr. Azad will happen next week - so this is a perfect time to get your beginning of the year cleaning completed.
Remember: It is recommended to move your hand made rugs outside once a year on a bright and sunny day on a clean surface like a driveway or deck. Allow the rug to sit in the sunshine for a few hours on each side. This will help air out your rug and kill germs and dust mites. BUT, all hand made rugs should be professionally cleaned every 3-5 years.
Our cleaning and repair work is personally supervised by Dr. Reza Azad himself and uses only natural and hand cleaning methods used by his family for over 5 generations.
Call or text Dave when you are on your way, 301.723.0818, and drop your rug(s) off at our backdoor located on Butler Alley.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
