I have noticed this pattern of in the neighborhoods as well. Frankly, all these people care about is money. They sell what they know people will buy and unfortunately that's liquor.

There are two things wrong with this picture:

1. Arabs and Asians are coming into our communities allowing themselves and their families to take over the business opportunity that are available to our people. They keep Black people from having a chance to establish a business with their cheap prices and their cheap products.

2. Alcoholism is a serious problem in our community. Let's face it, if people didn't buy alcohol, there wouldn't be an alcohol business. We have got to sober up (both mentally and physically) so that we can see the big picture and take back what is ours. Alcohol leads to serious problems that plague our communities. It leads to health problems and it is also the root of domestic violence. While we try to take down the Arab monopoly in our communities, let's also try to teach our fellow brothers and sisters the importance of keeping alcohol out their bodies so that they can be able to seize the opportunity of having their own successful businesses one day.
