Default The Ever Expanding Universe of Civil Rights

(( In the Bad Old Days of Lynching, when many more whites were lynched
by white lynch mobs than were blacks, you didn't have pervasive theft.
Looters were found hanging from convenient trees, and life went on.
What ended lynching was law enforcement and the rule of law. The rule
of law does not prevail in the burned out inner city core where most
underclass blacks live, and Blacks are incapable of disciplining their
own. White cops are treated as The Enemy, and black cops who are
honest are considered the worst kind of Uncle Tom. So those businesses
caught in the crossfire leave. Can you blame them? Well, according to
"Activists", yes. Bret.))


The Ever Expanding Universe of 'Civil Rights'

Race; Posted on: 2010-04-21 14:46:42 [ Printer friendly / Instant

"You can have diversity, or you can have free enterprise. But you can’t have both.


In Cincinnati, black “civil rights” groups are protesting Kroger’s
decision to shut down a grocery store in a black area, because the
store lost over a million dollars last year. Kroger’s decision is
perfectly rational; no company can stay in business for long if it
keeps outlets open that are bleeding cash. Company officials have
explained this to the “civil rights” group, but to no avail. They’re
still raising hell about Kroger shutting the store down.

And when I say that black groups are protesting the decision, don’t
get the wrong idea. They’re not just asking the company to reconsider,
or simply pleading with them to give the store just another year to
turn around before pulling the plug. No; they’re saying Kroger has no
right to shut the store down. A local supermarket is now a “civil
right”, and Kroger should provide one to black people no matter how
much it costs the company.

By shutting it down, they’re threatening the health of black people,
which is a violation of their civil rights:


Kroger’s decision to close its Roselawn store could hurt
residents’ health over the long haul, some community activists argue.

Those activists, including the Center for Closing the Health Gap
and the Southern Christian Leadership Council Fred Shuttlesworth
Chapter, are organizing an April 29 community meeting about the store
closing and the issue of “food deserts” in Cincinnati. The meeting
will start at 6 p.m. with a tentative location of Woodward High Career
Technical High School, 7005 Reading Road, Roselawn.

Kroger announced Friday that the Hillcrest Shopping Center store
will close Sunday, leaving Roselawn without a supermarket. Company
officials blamed a loss of more than $1 million last year at that
store, and an eroding customer base.

But Dwight Tillery, CEO of the Center for Closing the Health Gap
in Avondale, said profit shouldn’t be the only issue when basic
services are at stake.

“What we’re looking at here is a pattern of major grocers are
abandoning the inner city neighborhoods which happen to be primarily
minority people and poor people and elderly people,” Tillery said.
“This has to be more than, ‘We’re not meeting our bottom line,’
because food, like water, is essential to the health and well being of
our residents. You’re losing something that is very critical to
people’s survival.”

There are no chain supermarkets at all in the entire city limits of
Detroit, and most black areas of America have very few. There are lot
of reasons for that, none of which have anything do do with “racism.”
Theft, by both customers and employees, destroys the razor thin profit
margins which grocery stores operate on. Robberies do the same thing.
High crime in the area makes people reluctant to venture out at all.
And for all the talk about the need for healthy fruits and vegetables
in the inner city, that’s not what most of the people there are
spending their money on.

But none of that matters to black “civil rights” groups. Local
supermarkets are a right, not a privilege, and so there’s a lot more
involved than just “the bottom line.” It doesn’t matter if the local
supermarket loses $10 million a year; they have a moral obligation to
stay open to serve non-whites.

And don’t think this is just a few “crazy hot heads” among the “civil
rights” crowd. It’s not. It’s how the vast majority of blacks (and a
large majority of Hispanics) think, which is why they vote 9-1 in
favor of the big government candidates. There’s a reason you don’t see
many black and brown people at the Tea Party protests. It’s not
because of “racism”; Tea Partiers are desperately trying to attract
blacks and Mexicans, to no avail. It’s because non-whites like big
government. They think it’s society’s obligation to provide for them.
And if a company is losing a million bucks a year in a black area,
that’s just too bad, because access to a local supermarket is now a
“civil right.”

Get used to it, folks.

Because, even though right now it’s just talk, it won’t stay that way.
Each passing year brings new frontiers in “civil rights”, and this is
going to be one of the big ones in the near future. Just as Al
Sharpton and “conservative” Newt Gingrich are calling the test scores
gap between blacks and whites “the civil rights issue of the 21st
century”, which would have sounded crazy just a few years ago. And I
guarantee you that in the not too distant future you’re going to see
lawsuits challenging the right of companies to close stores, or not
open them, in the inner cities.

And if, as virtually everyone agrees, the government has the authority
to force a mom & pop restaurant in the backwoods of Mississippi to
serve blacks whether they want to or not, on what basis can we insist
it doesn’t have the authority to force Kroger to maintain stores in
black communities?

Just as a company is now presumed guilty of “racial discrimination” if
the percentage of non-whites they hire is lower than the percentage
living in the local area, supermarkets and other big retailers are
going to start facing the same legal scrutiny. Hucksters like Jesse
Jackson and Al Sharpton will team up with lawyers like Cass Sunstein,
Lawrence Tribe and Alan Dershowitz to start suing these companies for
“corporate racism”, based on the fact that the percentage of their
outlets in black areas are nowhere near the black percentage of the
country’s population. And as America gets increasingly Diverse, and so
do our judges and juries, they are going to win.

Just wait and see. "

disinfectants first. Boon.))
