Well, isn't that a surprise!
Good for them...refusing to take part in the shake down.
I thought the absence of grocery stores in black neighborhoods was an act of oppression?
Now putting one in is also an act of oppression?
Better to have that good ol’ vacant lot, I suppose.
Nothing good ever happens on MLK Blvd.
Wow. Can you believe this? And it does the community so much good to have that spot vacant…probably for drug dealers.
Tells you how much the race baiting psychopaths give a damn about black people. And just think of the jobs the local black population could have had once the store opened. Pathetic.
Fine. Let the parasites eat Big Macs and Cheetos until they die of heart disease.
Are these “activists” aware of how they come across to those of us with common sense?
The big grocery chains have tried many times to operate stores in da community many times. The teens in those neighborhoods make it impossible.
translation: We're racists and we don't want any white people coming into our neighborhood to go to this store.
Walmart has developed a small market for dense urban areas that would probably be perfect for this site. But liberals start foaming at the mouth at the mention of Walmart.
first they complain that companies don’t open stores in their neighborhood and now we see why
Blacks who live in the inner-city can pay up to three times as much for food from convenience stores and gas stations. That’s their “grocery” stores. Plus, these stores have take out deli and fast food, lottery tickets, and cheap beer.
Inglewood had a very large vacant lot chained linked for quite a few years. It was on a major intersection. I don’t remember which.
Disney had proposed a major development with 3-4 anchor stores including WalMart. A total of a few thousand jobs for the community plus the construction.
One day Eisner asked his staff how the development proposal was proceeding. They told him the city was stonewalling. He and the staff showed up at the next city council meeting to see what was what.
After 2-3 council members lectured and ranted about what Disney had to bring to the community (in addition to the project) Eisner turned to his staff and said let’s go and walked out. The next thing you know, Disney was helping the city of LA with Staples Center and LA Live.
Last I heard, the lot in Inglewood was still vacant.
A friend of mine, an architect in LA, told me the story. He was at that meeting.
Keep them on the reservation.
I can't even imagine what type of thought processes birthed this gem. Is this a way of stating that whites are not welcomed?
and how are the people living there oppressed and who are these "oppressed people"?
We like out slum and intend to keep it. I bet they vote 110% for Obama, as well. Nihilists. There will never be a solution for those of this mindset other than Obama's plans to make them the overlords and the rest of the population slaves.
They’ll just move the black neighborhood close to the store - through Section 8 housing.
It killed a little elderly TCU lady in an otherwise affluent area of my city several years ago. Thugs carjacked her and suffocated her in her own trunk with duct tape.
Doesn’t selling fruits, veggies and non processed foods in an inner city location benefit the black community? What would the First Lady think about this?
