Louis Hyman is assistant professor of history at Cornell University. He is the author of Debtor Nation: The History of America in Red Ink, Borrow: The American Way of Debt, and American Capitalism: A Reader.

So the high prices in the ghetto are not related to lack of competition, higher insurance rates, economies of scale, higher rates of "shrinkage" or lack of hardworking employees.

I guess they never heard of combat pay.

Mr. Hyman,

The abuse suffered by black folks comes at the hands of the democrat party. When the blacks finally wake up there will be hell to pay.

Fuel/Heat/Oxygen/Thugs to light things off

"They didn't experience it as their own" is such a sorry stab at an excuse that it makes one wonder if things can get better with so many like-thinkers on the loose. That means my home (and your home) are valid targets too....

"...They did not experience those places as their own..."

Well, yeah. In many cases, those places weren't their own. They were largely given to them. They weren't going to be in such a hurry to burn down a city block if one of the businesses or homes there was paid for them by the years of hard work they did, would they?

Gee, time to post the "I'm Shocked!" picture. We all see what happens to things (and people) when they don't have to work for something, and things ranging from money to houses to healthcare are "given" to them by other people (taxpayers).
