community organizer. A little person that wants to be a big person, who while not elected or appointed by anyone tries to run the lives of the people in the community and make a living or profit at it.
If they continued to try to open a store, they would be oppressing the brothers and trying to keep them down.
Since they have decided not to, they are trying to create a ‘food desert’.
If they had ignored the area entirely, they would be unresponsive to the needs of the black community.
No matter what they do, they lose.
What a bunch of REALLY DUMB PEOPLE.
Trader Joe’s is a great outlet for busy people on the go.
They will open a store in Portland but in a different section. They do in fact improve neighborhoods they operate in.

“gentrification” means NICE and WHITE to BLA people, and they can’t have THAT!! Why do Blacks always need ORGANINZING and SPOKESMEN?? Decent black people should WAKE UP!!!
When you don’t pay the shake down fee racially tinged accusations ensue.
Any now we know why “food deserts” exist in inner cities.
Opening a retail store in any city in America on Martin Luther King Blvd. is a mistake.
“Hey there now, we can’t have any ‘gentrification’ around here.
Gotta tie down our people on the plantation, doncha know?”
“The company selected two acres along Martin Luther King Blvd. that had been vacant for decades. It seemed like the perfect place . . .”
Ahhhh. . .they gotta be lefty-nut-burger liberals if they think going anywhere near a “MLK Blvd” is a good idea.
Just a shakedown. Nothing important.
I love it when an entity learns that diversity is an expensive carnival ride.
I worked for a large corporation and we get bitten a dozen times while I was there. Everything from the diverse Computer Security Chief who kept sending out viruses to the store in the ghetto that lost so much money that it had to be removed from all reports.
Trader Joes = good store. These people are the losers.
If you would like more information about Oregon, please FReepmail me. I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last month.
Sounds like mau-mauing, to me. The folks from PAALF aren't interested in the plight of black people, and making their lives better. This is about making the lives of the Community Organizers better.
Black community agitators would rather have the instantaneous gratification of kicking whitey outta da ‘hood than actually support job creation.
Yet, they’ll be first up to bitch and complain that business owners who don’t want to set up shop in Blackistan are “racist.”
Lesson #1: Don't.
I’m not a fan at all of Trader Joe’s. On one hand, their liberal policies and clientele led to this type of political payola scheme’s and I’m glad what goes around comes around. But on the other, 25 years of blight should cause everybody to want improvement and Welcome Trader Joe’s. Go figure.
My understanding is that those opposed to the new Trader Joe’s are unhappy with the gentrification of the neighborhood and that a Trader Joes would further that process.
The opponents want to bring displaced blacks back to the neighborhood, apparently the kind of blacks that would not or could not shop at a Trader Joes. I can only assume that this means they would like to turn the vacant two acre site into a mini-ghetto to bring back the original neighborhood ghetto.
