Trader Joes attracts White People.
So much for urban renewal. I guess a crack house and a busload of whores would be a way better deal.
Black residents reject Trader Joe’s because it would attract too many white people February 8, 2014 Trader Joes opposition Photo credit: Andrew Theen/The Oregonian The Trader Joe’s grocery chain has withdrawn plans to build a store in the heart of a predominantly black neighborhood after a black leadership group fought the move. The Portland Development Commission was set to give the grocer a large discount on property that had been vacant for years, pricing it at just over $500,000, down from an appraised value of $2.9 million, according to The Oregonian.http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/i...ican_lead.html The Portland African American Leadership Forum sent a scathing letter in December to city leaders, saying the plan would price residents out of the area and the group“remains opposed to any development in North/Northeast Portland that does not primarily benefit the black community.” Trader Joe’s would increase displacement of low-income residents and “increase the desirability of the neighborhood,” for “non-oppressed populations,” PAALF wrote. “[This decision] reflects the city’s overall track record of implementing policies that serve to uproot, displace and disempower our most vulnerable community members,” the letter said. Trader Joe’s bowed out amid the controversy. “We run neighborhood stores, and our approach is simple: If a neighborhood does not want a Trader Joe’s, we understand, and we won’t open the store in question,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to The Oregonian. But not everyone is happy about the outcome. “There are no winners today,” Adam Milne, owner of Old Town Brewing Co., told The Oregonian. “Only missed tax revenue, lost jobs, less foot traffic, an empty lot and a boulevard still struggling to support its local small businesses.” http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/02/...e-people-99333 |

All you do is create negative post about minorities. You and the rest of the DC crowd hide behind your bullshit lies. You're a racist in my eyes and a piece of shit. |

Awww now the DC crowd is a bit dysfunctional and sometimes people get a little out of sorts but for the most part we are a happy family that embraces diversity and who love any opportunity to celebrate the good of all on earth. Walk with God and be humble and keep that smile as a beacon to others!!

Very insightful post btw. I've always said, who knows what's best for black people, better than rural white people from Missouri?

Well, thats interesting. We have a rich half black guy President who thinks he knows whats best for everybody. And that has worked out just super duper. I suppose he can relate since he's a halfling.

Now it's not even just a racial thing.
Things have been popping off in San Fran as tech nerds are moving in to get Google jobs. Protesting at Google Bus Stops [Google provides free transportation onto their campus in the 'burbs]. Protesting startups by baristas and waiters. A lot of it is residual Occupy Oakland shit. But it's been going on a while. Heck bring it up to Greg Proops and he'll go on a cursing jag that'd kill your sainted grandmother, but then he's one of those REALLY self-loathing pasty white dudes who think artists should be paid more but there shouldn't be a seat in any sporting arena anywhere that costs more than $5, and every ill on earth is the sole fault of any white man who earns more than he does. http://instagram.com/p/mdW5tsQRJv http://valleywag.gawker.com/sorry-ab...1563401407/all |

There's a guy from Mexico that runs a Chinese food place here in town. That shit is incredible. He told me that he uses some Hispanic seasonings and cooking techniques. I don't know what he does but it's the best Chinese food I have ever had.
