I come from cleveland where there is tons of these poison centers, and all sorts of good black folks who just happen to be poor, now where have we heard that before huh? yea but according to this white american media that stereotypes ALL blacks as criminals and lazy, they continue on by setting forth these stores all around the neighborhoods, as revenue!!  . |
Why do you think I said that you shouldn't patronize these establishments? It's because you, me, or no one else is going to stop "those" people from gettin' their drink, smoke, shoot on! I truly wish that someone (with good sense!!) could talk/threaten/beat some sense/pride/dignety into the lost souls of our communities. But as the saying goes "you can lead a horse to water...." So I'm of the notion that if there is going to be degenerates in our mist who wish to waste money on the vices, shouldn't at least a Black person/business/community profit from this? And hopefully share those profit with the community?which leads to my next point

I wish any of the So-called Black leaders (we should all lead by example!) would speak out about the high concentrations of "lika sto's" and gun stores in the hood. For what it's worth yt's got plenty of gun shops in his hood too, they're just hidden better! But since none of the leaders seem to be eager to speak out against these businesses, once again, shouldn't some Black person get these profits and possibly use them to help the community? I know that selling guns or booze is a moral question but have you looked around lately? more that a few of us don't seem to have any qualms with immoral things!
I see that you didn't mention the third option, the only reason that I brought it up is that well first of all Dragon did and the other day I was driving down a street here in LA and noticed that at least 8-10 lika sto's that had burnt down during the riots here in '92 had been converted to churches (mostly Latino) so that albeit the method was extreme, it was indeed sucessful
