Just my opinion.
It’s a cinema desert?
It’s a sign that the thugs who live these robbed and looted the places so much they had to close.
The constant exteralization of blame never ends with these morons.
LOL
If you can’t make money on your product in a community, you don’t set up business there. This may be because the locals can’t afford it, or because the locals shoplift you to death raising your costs, etc.
Marxism: Art of the Euphemism.
Black families that *used* to live in Compton have largely been moved off to the Inland Empire (San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, etc.) as part of a concerted effort through HUD-Section 8 "housing choice" vouchers.
> it’s been heavily dis-invested in
Sooo... how’s that thug/gang culture working for ya?
people within the community feel devalued.”
...they “feel” devalued. Meaning that business should open up in Compton to make the community “feel” better? Looting the stores and burning them to the ground makes them “feel” good too apparently.
Anyone notice that nobody in media or the film critics, are critical of a movie which glamorizes violence, including violence against women???
Anyone notice that nobody in the media will say what NWA stands for????
There’s a real war on women in the black community fueled by attitudes pushed by rap. But nobody will talk about that as they praise this movie.
I wonder how its doing at the box office. Does middle America really want to see a movie about ghetto rap “artists” and their coming up out of the ghetto????
I hope this is crappy reporting - and not Johnny's statement.
Racist corporations don’t wanna put no infrastructure here for us to loot.
I’ll go see this right after I vote for Hillary...
dis-invested in????
Why is anyone astounded that an area of high crime and gang infestation has little retail?
It's not safe or profitable to open a business in a place where the inhabitants play previews of Hell all day and night.
I watched this movie online last night knowing it was going to be disturbing.
It does a good job of portraying the origins of the Rap culture being founded in vile, disgusting, vulgar, despicable, criminal, drugged, violent, delinquent, revolting, profane, sickening, atrocious, nasty, offensive, crude, rude, filthy, obscene, perverted, disrespectful and miscreant behaviors.
There is only one reason why businesses don’t locate in an area. Ain’t no money in it.
They never get introspective as to why an area they live in turns into a sh1thole.
Just call the entertainment district the future crime zone district right now andget people used to it, b/c that is what its gonna be. Urban blacks just are a blight on an area, they dont upkeep anything, the ones who are great people and care, see this and get the hell out.
