As I said in another thread: when the feelings or well-being of animals like these rioters and looters are given priority over the well being of a random citizen or a business owner BY THE AUTHORITIES, here is what happens to those random citizens and businesses:
They aren’t protected.
Their families aren’t protected.
Their property isn’t protected.
Their business isn’t protected.
So, they do what any INTELLIGENT, THOUGHTFUL, RESPONSIBLE person does: They uproot their family and business, and LEAVE. (Because we all see what happens to those who stand up to the animals: If they survive being beaten to a pulp by a mob, they are demonized as racists)
And what happens after that?
We hear whining and moaning that people in those ravaged communities can’t get access to basic services, can’t get stores to buy food at, can’t get a cab to take them home because it is too dangerous for the cabbies. And they decry the people who left to survive as “racists” and characterize their leaving as racially based “white flight”.
And they demonize industry and commerce as racist because they don’t want to build factories or open stores in those areas, because the extra security costs add up to 30% to the overhead of business, an addition fatal to business survivability.
And they demonize banks as racist who won’t give business loans to someone who wants to open something in those areas, because they won’t make it past the first riot.
And they characterize as racist the unwillingness of insurance companies to offer low rates to businesses in those areas, because it is a guaranteed 100% loser for them.
THAT is what infuriates me about the animals doing this in places like Ferguson and Baltimore. They are doing all they can to drive people out of those areas so that much of the liberal black leadership can point to racist “white flight” as one of the roots of their failure to have a functioning community.
And I should add: This problem is just as crippling for black-owned/run businesses as it is for any businessman of any other race.
They are trying to make a living, and a mob comes by, throws chairs through the windows (if you haven’t already had the additional expenditure of bars or a barrier) and your store gets looted, your problems are just starting.
If you were hardworking enough to have made it this far as a black businessman in a black neighborhood, you may have insurance, and when you apply for relief, you may get it.
But when your policy is up for renewal...your premium is likely going to go up as well. If you don’t simply fold, and move forward your battle isn’t over.
If you add the increased cost of your insurance onto your products, you are going to have Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama and other race-baiters disparaging the store owner, standing out front and saying: “The products in this store are more expensive than those in white neighborhoods! Why our own people gouge us for the basic necessities of life is a crying shame!”
And that is what might happen if the owner was black. If the owner was white, hispanic or asian, they might have a riot and destroy the store right there.
This is unbelievable.
