they want black communities kept poor, it is their gravy train
“I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.” - Booker T. Washington
A lot of poor folks prefer the Democrat solution.
I spent several years around DC (living in Arlington). It became obvious that there’s two areas of DC (west and northwest) where changes are allowed to happen if the money is there. East and southeast? Well....those are mostly down-and-out neighborhoods, urban decay.
Grocery stores are almost non-existent in the Anacosta neighborhood (southeast). In this one by one sq mile area, I think there’s one single grocery left. All of the locals complain about this.
So Wal-Mart came to have interest. Not just one store....but seveal. It all made sense. The lots were un-used and the communities were in dire need of stores. Well...the groups and city council got all peppy about this. Certain conditions had to be met. Wal-Mart sat there laughing over the games played.
You had to pay off the various groups to make things right. DC demanded that the employees all had to be DC residents. This went back and forth....this is rule you can’t force. I think they came to some mutual conclusion that a high percentage would be Washington residents.
The gimmick is the community “aggregators” and the political folks who use this whipping up of “blackness” to ensure nothing moves forward or improves. It amazes me that no tries to push them aside and fix the neighborhoods.
