Now, I can't speak for the rest of the leaders you mentioned. But I do know for a fact that Al Sharpton has been organizing protesting against the plethora of liqueur stores in the our neighborhoods for longtime. For those of us that our regular listeners of his show, we know that he address these issues and more that aren't discussed or even touched by the evening news.

No other race or ethnicity suffers from this inexcusable and indefensible pathetic condition. The businesses and services in Latino, Jewish, Asian, Irish, Polish, Italian, Armenian, basic Anglo-Saxon, etc, is controlled and operated by those respective groups. None and I do mean none -would allow blacks to dominate their communities. Don’t even think about it!

Negroes seem to have no problem with Arab, Korean or whites business occupation and dominance in their communities. Once again, don't like these people operating services and stores in your community? Good! Then don't patronize them and get your own damn businesses like everyone else. End of subject.......

Your another one who is lost concerning this subject. I am not saying that we are not to blame at all for our total situation and indivdual responsibilities, what I am saying is that this government has been fighting our economic security and prosperity from day one. Do you think it is an accident or that we are simply lazy because most all Black neighborhoods economic centers are owned and runned by non-Black people? This is why I said that what we are experiencing is economic terrorism.

If you know next to nothing about our history in this country then it is impossible to understand what I mean by "economic terrorism."

Simply laying down to get railroaded by a system is hardly a solution. Patronage makes or breaks a business in the end.

Burning down somebodies ish ain't "laying down" and getting "railroaded."

They sell in those areas because people purchase them... if they did not purchase, they would not sell...
It goes simply past arabs doing so... is it okay for one of your own to sell you poisons? Would the question even be posed if the person wore a blackface?

[MrAtlanta]

The solution is simple. Just stop patronizing them. What's so hard about that?

I swear, sometimes we can take a non-complex issue and make it rocket science.
