Also, the target clientele are near the bottom of the education scale which means they don't read, all part of the dumbing down of America.
Hoax.
Yawn, ho hum. Smells fishy. Customers usually have no idea who owns stores unless the book store only sold books depicting black characters.
During the lock downs, you know when people were supposed to be in their homes and not out shopping, Austin TX tv news stations were constantly telling people to shop at black stores. Just keepin’ Austin weird.
My daughter managed the children’s department at a Barnes and Noble. Her department was the only one making money in the store, so naturally they had her making coffee at the in-house Starbucks. Management was pretty stupid. She was such a great emissary for children’s literature that kids would ask mom to go to the bookstore to see Ashley.
She also had a few tricks to “hide” the offensive books from ready view. Even though she isn’t there anymore, she’s still an expert in children’s literature and advises parent friends on good choices.
It’s sad that peo9ple want to segregate books. One of my favorites when I was a kid featured a black kid in the pictures. I didn’t care. (It wasn’t Little Black Sambo)
I suspect the store was losing money due to trying to serve 3% of the population and couldn’t pay the rent, so naturally death threats it is.
