Hello hexbear, I want to let you all in on a secret the asian community doesn't want you to know. The reason why there's so many chinese, pakistani, indian, ect convenient stores in Black neighborhoods is that Black people in America have the lowest amount of vehicle ownership, a lot of Black people walk or bike to their jobs and live in food deserts because this hellhole country is built around the automobile. These stores effectively have a monopoly on the Black population and the asian business owners conspire against the Black population by charging 2x3x as much as the white stores would, they build their convenient stores strategically to prevent competition between themselves, they are the first to sell to white gentrifiers, asian business owners are racist as fuck against Blacks and I'm fucking sick of it. Black neighborhoods should be for Black people only, asians or whites or hispanics have no right to own a business in a Black neighborhood because they all mark up their shit because Blacks have no where else to go, they don't live here they all live in the suburbs. I know you fuckers think the support Black owned businesses thing is a liberal virtue signal but seriously, buy Black or this shit is never gonna end.

    i mean, yeah, corner stores are exploitative and overpriced and often owned by Asian/Middle Eastern folk, but making them black owned wouldn't solve the rest of the problems in the hood and likely not even the problems of being exploitative and overpriced. you're looking for an easy solution and are resorting to racism to get there. you don't build the revolution by pitting the downtrodden against each other. does solidarity mean nothing to you?

    “We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism." - :fred-hampton:
