I cannot condone destroying a walmart when so many people depend on them for their food and medicine. not a good look. 47th and cottage grove has long been a food desert, and now they are essentially back to square 1.

also, lets not forget that when u destroy a business, u also destroy the people's jobs who depend on said business to pay their bills. it's a horrible look, and anyone who condone's this shyt in their own community is a c00n. plain and simple.

Not only that breh. This is tax revenue like schools need funding and streets need repair. Streets need to be salted and snow plowed. This shyt sucks all the tax revenie away besides home taxes. The neighborhood now produces no taxes because nothing can be bought.

And actually it makes it more dangerous for black folks because now they have to travel further out their communities for supplies. In a highly segregated and racist city with tons of ethnic gangs.

All the tax based businesses are gone..

South and west sides about to look like Detroit..

This is sad on so many levels and it hasn't even really hit us yet..
:francis:Tell that to the collateral damage brehs. You rip your own shyt up, get swept in a race war egged on by white supremacists, and have no guarantee of meaningful change, but your area is guaranteed to be even worse off economically than it was before. All for what?

And thats the fukked up part. Now you are even more vulnerable cause your people can't even get resources in their own neighborhoods. These young kats have no longterm vision. Thankfully some of the black suburbs like broadview and others are ok.

Im not even tripping to hard over the looting of the liquor stores, weave and nail stores, dtlr, cellphone stores, arab corner stores and etc.. Fck them..

But you fcking up the places you know you go to all the time for the shyt you need..

And i don't care what generation did it before us, it was dumb then, and dumb now.

I respect the youth energy in dealing the way they did.. But they went too far with the essential stores..

CPD and lightfoot should done something to protect these essential businesses. This us just so fcked up..
