Even before the riots, we knew why there were “Food Deserts” in black population areas. Those stores could not stay profitable. Theft and shoplifting put most of them out of business. Then blacks complained that there were no grocery stores in the hood.

“...But the food desert is already an incredibly unjust situation.”


I have an example. Cairo, Illinois used to be a semi prosperous town at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. It’s still at the confluence of the rivers, but it is no where near semi prosperity. It is a shattered shell of a town, filled with burnt-out buildings and once grand mansions falling into decay.

During the late 60s and early 70s there was ‘civil unrest’. Over the passage of time nearly every business left. Today, if you want to visit a real grocery store you have to travel either to Kentucky or Missouri. There is a Dollar General store that has some edibles for sale.

Why is this? Why did the grocery store, the restaurants, the clothing stores, the factories all abandon the place? Everyone knows the answer, but it cannot be said out loud.

Not sure where she lives but it is well known amongst the Islamic community that she has disrespected the prophet many times and burned Korans.

And what if we were to fight back, against those the author describes as “fighting back”?

I hope the media celebrates my achievements when I stack up the bodies of commie terrorists like cord wood.

Heard this lady crying that since her brethren looted the local market and burned it down she would have no place to shop.

Golly gee, NPR. Report that.

In many “food deserts”, regular supermarkets will be replaced by pre-paid, curbside or delivery only, since the stores can’t afford to have regular stores in areas where they suffer from high shoplifting, damage and spoilage rates by customers and employees, and regular armed robberies and assaults of the stores and customers.

Typical “a priori” (before the facts) thinking. Every bit of information must interpreted/filtered through the lens of their political philosophy. Everything that doesn’t conform to their preexisting “reality” is either discarded or ignored.

In the end, there is only one way to deal with people who think this way and that is not to deal with them at all. They simply must be defeated politically and driven from the public square. In other words, the “Cancellers” must be cancelled.

The word “revolution” has been replaced by the word “protest”. They had to in order to get away with it.

Grabbing a large flat screen television is simply stealing, nothing to do with anything else.

Thou shall not steal. (Exodus 20:15.) So if it is ok to steal, is it ok to lie, or commit murder? If yes, why?

A vivid example of why we are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.
