Going “Galt” in action...
Once again, Mr. WIlliams ‘gets’ it.
Black crime is an issue BLM terrorists ignore.
They’re hugely supportive of black thugs who make black neighborhoods a hell on earth.
Cleaning up crime is not on their agenda. Apparently, they’re ok with blacks being terrorized and murdered by fellow blacks.
After all, black thugs have human rights; law-abiding blacks don’t. And its not black thugs that are the villain, its the cops who try to keep such neighborhoods safe.
Crime is the invisible tax that affects Black America but to BLM terrorists, it might as well not exist.
In short, not all Black Lives Matter when all is said and done.
Looted and burned down.
If you want to live in a Moochelle Obama “food desert,” rob and shoplift all the grocery stores in your neighborhood into bankruptcy.
Saved for the next time “food desert” starts getting talked up by the usual suspects.
My experience in the retail trade is that employee theft is the number one issue.
In many cases the employees partner with outside thieves and plunder local stores in bad areas. In some cases the security guards themselves are in on the take.
The owners learn their lesson the hard way—and then close their doors.
Burned to the ground in the last riot.
My grandfather owned a grocery store on the edge of a black neighborhood in Indianapolis in the ‘20’s and ‘30’s and never had any problems.
But then, he always carried a revolver with him. And was well-known for doing so. He usually kept it in his hand - not in a holster......
If more blacks saw reality as Williams, Sowell, Star, and many other blacks do, there would be far less crime in the black community.
Sadly, the reality of most blacks is that of the Democratic party - which is not reality at all, but a lie.

After seeing what happened in Ferguson and how the local government enabled Baltimore rioters by “giving them space”, why would anyone open a business in an area with a higher chance of being destroyed in a riot?
I could answer the authors assertions as to why but the best answer is because its not profitable to do so unless you like running negative inventory and negative balance sheets.
They got tired or being robbed.
A family member owned a store- The mall was 90% white clientele, but 70% of her shoplifting and bad check problems were from blacks. If you are black and offended by this, why?
Since she could not put up a sign saying "NO checks from black people" she just had to put up a sign saying "no checks"- which is how a significant portion of her customers liked to pay. So... business went down.
My formerly flaming liberal family member is now a conservative and worries that she is a racist- I had to tell her that it's not racism if its the truth.
When are the so-called 'black leaders' -who seem to be a lot of "reverends' - NOT talking in their churches about how it is a sin to steal?
As always, blacks are unwilling to take responsibility for their own failings, and blame them on whitey.
Yet black crime in places like Ferguson and Baltimore is encouraged, if not celebrated, by black "leaders."
Sadly, he is accurate in his descriptions of establishments in the nice or affluent parts of a city and the predominately black, crime riddled parts of the same city. The businesses in nice areas keep stuff outside during non-freezing temps all day and overnight. Plants, displays of non-perishables, herbs, etc. In the crime riddled areas, the only thing seen outside the small convenience stores are cigarette butts, soda cans/bottles, and discarded lottery tickets. I have family members, elderly ones at that, still living in what once was a working-class section of the city. Their house and most houses around them are neat and tidy. The same cannot be said of the neighborhood as a whole. Other family members have begged them to move. They refuse.
Dr. Williams is indeed correct. The myriad of deficiencies in the black community can only be addressed and corrected by those that live there. Everything else is a wasted effort.
