Are They supplying it in white neighborhoods?? Are they pre-conceiving that whites would buy in large amounts?? I think they know that it would be in good demand in white neighborhoods....They Just Don't Put them there, they follow their stereotypical hate, and put them in Black neighborhoods!
White neighborhoods have supermarkets, Costcos, & Sam's Clubs where they buy their booze and cigarettes in even larger amounts than can be bought at a corner store.

But, this is an inconvenient truth. We are cool with YT being the devil. But, us too? Naw, we prefer to believe that YT is the devil and that we black folks are some kind of black gods. So, we have created a new art form out of blaming white folks, jews, mexicans, asians, arabs, other black folks --- anybody else to avoid having to deal with the real deal which is that I Hate Me.

We love calling each other niggers and have even elevated it in our sick minds to a term of endearment. That's my ******! Or, that's my boy! Or, whazzup up, dog!

We write songs of love to our black woman, who we loving call bitch, or ho, or girl. If we don't write the songs, we will at least buy the CDs. Young brothers have made millions off of us buying their songs of praise for our self-hatred.

How can I be taught to stop hating me and to love me? Like the Matrix, this is not something that anyone else can show me. I have to see it for myself. Like any other addict, I will just keep falling lower and lower until I am ready to admit that it is I --- not my supplier --- who is killing Me.

Until the supplier admits its wrongdoing of treating and poisoning its receiver.....Then THEY WILL NEVER STOP!!! REMEMBER THE ADDICT BECAME ADDICTED FOR A REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AN ADDICT WAS NOT AN ADDICT UNTIL HE/SHE HAD ACCESS TO THE SUPPLIERS POISON!

***EVER WONDER HOW THESE SICK DRUG DEALERS REALLY STAY IN BUSINESS BROTHER...........THEY STAY IN BUSINESS (((((NOT))) BECAUSE THE PERSON DEMANDS IT, BUT BECAUSE THEIR SUPPLY HAS BEEN PASSED AROUND BY THE ADDICT HIMSELF!!!!!!****

THE DEALER KNOWS THIS! THATS WHY HE SUPPLIES AND COMES BACK KNOWING HE WILL HAVE A LINE OF ADDICTS AGAIN!!!!


WHY???????? BECAUSE THE SUPPLIER ***SUPPLIED THE POISON IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!*** AND IT SPREAD LIKE A VIRUS.....WHITE AMERICA KNOWS ITS POISON WILL KILL, BUT CONTINUES BECAUSE OF ITS GREED AND HUNGER TO STAY IN POWER!!!!!

The Supplier Needs To Stop SUPPLYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace!

Why does change always involve somebody else behaving differently? What about the addicts, is it wrong to expect people to take responsibility for their own lives?

I don't have to buy crack just because you supply it. I don't have to wallow in alcohol because Arabs open up liquor stores on my block. I don't have to pop pills just because people are pushing them... and guess what, addicts don't either.

You can't change the suppliers behavior, but you can change yours.

It is a mistake to think you can cure an addict by eliminating his supplier. That addict will just stay up day and night until he finds another supplier to take the place of the one you got rid of. And, as much money as there is to be made selling drugs, there will always be some fool somewhere willing to risk imprisonment and death to sell poison to sick people.

What one has to ask themself is why do these arabs target only black neighborhoods for these death stores of theirs! WELL ARABS HAVE ALWAYS HATED US, sh*t they actually enslaved us just as worse as white pigs have, back during the times, so their hatred for blacks goes deep and way back, so you have to figure and analyze why they continuesly set up these BS liquor stores and its always run by some arab family tree! hahahaha....Hey my old hood had a store where the arabs had their whole goddamn family migrating between Iran and this store, one day we would see the older people of the family, then another 3-4 months later we would see the younger folks, and we'd ask where the other was at, and they'd say they went back to iran for studies....WTF!!!!!!!!..

Brothas and sistas, we have white trash america and arabs making money off of us by selling us DEATH!All they while the money they get from selling the white mans poison, they use to go and get an education,NOW HOW F***ED UP IS THAT!!!

Really? I see more Asians running things in the lower-classed black communities than any other group. It is sad...

Everyone gave some excellent point! My belief is that we will continue to suffer until we get from up under and away from white people!! This I believe with all of my heart. The only things that will change our situation is outright revolution. This is just my belief.

We as a people have accepted our lot to greater and lesser degrees. Sounds scary but we gone have to bleed, kill and die for things to make a complete round about change around and among us.

In the meantime, those of us who are "conscious" will have to get envolved and stay envolved with our peoples plight through community activism. I recall the New Black Panther party in Detroit closing down numerous stores that were mistreating, disrespecting, selling bad food stuff, etc in the surrounding Detroit area.

This is just the tip of the ice berge of what we must do to push back further decay of our communities, wake as many people up as possible and because an example and catalist of change..

And most of all, show that we care for and love our people.

This is because they receive multi-year tax shelters when they come to the US. So they take their cash and setup shops in areas of the least resistance, selling a product that area will hold in high demand. It's purely economic exploitation.

Most of them have aenough liquid cash or funding to invest in a turnkey convenience store. Many blacks either don't have it, or don't wish to invest in such businesses.

It is a low value, low profit business however.

Can't really disagree with that. We do not necessary have to physically get away from white folks [we have been here more than a lot, if not most of them, anyway], but we do have to get out from under their control -- i.e., we have to start working for ourselves, not for their companies --- and we have to start policing our own communities, not depending on their police forces --- and, we have to stop volunteering to serve in their military and, instead, volunteer to fight in our own private security force structured specifically to checkmate their Blackwater Security-- and, we have to stop worshiping a god made in their image.

True. Somehow, we have to be able to view the absolutely idotic self-destructive behaviors of our people with love and patience, rather than contempt -- something I have to work on.

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.
