It will solve the problem on its own, when businesses stop setting up shop within easy access of black neighbourhoods. The black youths might be getting a kick out of doing this stuff now, but they may not find it so funny when they have to bus it 2 hours one way to buy some bread or eggs or their favourite gold chains.

Neither will the residents who live in those places where the store are.

Some black leaders, such as Jesse Jackson, have lamented that major retailers and major chain supermarkets avoid mostly minority areas.

Michelle Obama talked about this also. She said that there are “food deserts” in cities which don’t have chain supermarkets, only liquor stores or convenience stores which sell junk food only.

I heard that the entire city of Detroit has only 8 supermarkets left in the entire city.

It may be unfortunate in some ways, but, businesses have decided that it’s not worth the extra problems and costs of doing business to locate in these inner city areas.

If the flash mobs keep it up, we’ll all have to travel farther out from the city to do our shopping. You may well see retailers and supermarkets near public transportation, such as this Sears store, decide to close down rather than deal with the ongoing hassles of doing business in such places.

Some places that has already happened - I don't believe there is a supermarket left in downtown Rochester, NY since Wegmans pulled out of the center city years ago. Now they have to trip to the suburbs for descent prices, or pay the extra costs at local bodegas.

That's what has happened around the Detroit area, isn't it?

Once the businesses are gone the parents start crying that it is racial discriminatiion.

But when law enforcement tries to clean up their neighborhood and collars their lawbreaking criminal kids, relatives and friends they accuse them of racism too.

My wife mentioned just last night that Wal-Mart has closed most of their stores in Memphis and moved them to the suburbs.

I think there are only 3 left in the city limits.

That would disparage Holder’s people, then they would just be relocated to the desired places, at taxpayer expense.

That Sears has been there easily 50 years, probably longer -- since back when the neighborhood was solid white working class Irish, Italians and Greeks.
