This amalgam of negative traits I refer to as "black culture" is divisive, racist, insidious, and corrosive. It is racist, misogynist, and violent in all aspects.
This is an important distinction: I do not in any way believe blacks are any more dangerous than whites UNLESS they are immersed in "black culture". If they are, they are every bit as dangerous as those statistics indicate.
I do not in any way believe all blacks buy into this "black culture", so I do not refer globally to all American blacks as devotees of "black culture". But the black community at large which contains both good and bad elements is maligned by the bad elements, in much the same way that the Islamic community suffers in respect, with a key difference: Blacks are born as they are, while being muslim is a choice.
As a consequence of that distinction, I would never be able to deny a black person the right, by default, to be treated as an individual worthy of individual assessment apart from any group, entity, or prism of race or color. I cannot say the same for devotees of Islam, as it is a conscious choice, and I must view them through that prism of their beliefs which at the core run counter to my own.
Therefore I do believe it is possible for blacks and whites to be unified as Americans, but only with difficulty or even not at all while the current crop of race hustlers such as Obama, Jackson, Holder, Wright, et al are viewed as spokesmen for the black community.
Food desert indeed. The problem is, complicated in a number of ways: Law enforcement is stunted for a lot of reasons such as:
Actions of idiots like the one in Baltimore who wanted to give looters “space” instead of having them arrested.
Law enforcement personnel who will look the other way or refuse to “serve and protect” the black community because they are abused by that very community when they attempt to enforce laws, and have their legs cut out from under them by their leaders who not only refuse to support them, but actively throw them to the wolves.
There are many areas in this country that have turned into no-go zones for law enforcement.
As a result, the cost of doing business is far higher in those crime-ridden areas. Insurance costs. Infrastructure costs for higher security, alarms security services, iron bars and iron gates for the stores, etc. coupled with simple theft, malicious vandalism, and other crime related factors.
So, if you are a company looking for places to open a store, you have three choices when it comes to doing business in those areas susceptible to ongoing crime and mob violence:
1.) Operate at higher costs, pass those costs on to the customers, and be accused of racial-based price gouging by the racist Department of Justice, Obama Administration, and The Rainbow Coalition.
2.) Operate at higher costs and lose money doing it by writing those costs off, doing this in the hope that the race-hustling alligators will eat you last because they take into account your “progressive” approach to doing business with minorities. (Note to them: This won’t work. You will still be hustled extorted, and excoriated by the race hustlers like The Rainbow Coalition.)
3.) Don’t do business in those areas because it makes no sense if you wish to run a successful business. One only has to look at what happens when irrational mobs, incited by race hustlers, decide to smash and loot any businesses while they are given “space” to do so. If I was on the board of a company that wanted to open a supermarket or store in these areas, I would go to YouTube, play the videos showing the looting, and demand the head of any entity in the organization who advocated deliberately exposing the business to that.
That is why there are food deserts in those places.
Nice job of detailing the reasons why the food deserts are self-imposed. I shall bookmark that.
I agree the “ghetto” (urban) culture is the root of the problem, not their skin color (as evidenced by the fast assimilation of many Africans in the US). Some escape its clutches, but far too few.
True, choosing Islam (at least in the US) is a choice; to me, it reeks of a feeble attempt to reject a “white” religion (despite the millions of non-white adherents). I personally would be very creeped out if a family member converted to Islam (after my Christian upbringing); I would definitely keep them at arms length.
Oh, everyone knows why the food deserts are there; often the only people who will open businesses in those areas are foreign newcomers (Asians, Hispanics) - one was robbed by Michael Brown before he was shot attacking the cop in Ferguson. Those businesses aren’t cheap to shop in, not just because of the high losses from theft but also because they are often the only taxable entity on the block (in areas dense with government housing).
I completely didn't take that into account, that would be correct. What you said, all exactly true.
Thanks; that is why black mayors and even cops are in a bind. Regardless of how they view the “foreign interlopers” peddling goods at inflated prices (they are buying them with our wealth transfer money anyway), they need to provide at least a show of protection because without it not a single legitimate business would operate there. How many drug dealers, prostitutes, and illegal gambling/club joints does an area need?
If there ever was a political Iron Maiden for a politician to find themselves in, it would be that. Move this way, you get poked by this spike. Move that way, you get poked by that one.
Black? Even Obama’s blacker than that thug! When I saw this on the news the other day I thought to myself “now white trash has picked up on that knockout crap”.
True; they are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. If they side with the gibsmedats, you end up with Newark NJ; if they side with the people and businesses that bring money to the city, you end up with neighboring Jersey City NJ (which is definitely much better off today for it).
I’m curious as to whether or not that silver car stopped.......
