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.”
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.

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The word “revolution” has been replaced by the word “protest”.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.
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.
