Nonsense.

Have you been to a L.A. donut shop lately? Taco truck maybe?
Those were not idiots, those were animals waiting for an excuse to steal, burn and destroy. Do you believe that ghettos look the way they look because the government makes them this way? No, there are some people who simply can't live in a normal society and I dont see a reason society should feel guilty about it.

I don’t remember ever inferring or stating that black peoples condition was better or worse than blacks in other parts of the world. So your argument can’t hold water! But I will say if you’re in the wrong you will be blamed and there’s no game about it! If you don’t like being blamed don’t do wrong. It’s that simple.

It’s funny how you want to call human beings are animals. Even though someone’s actions might not be appropriate they are not animals. But if you want to label a primitive people as animals I would start here! Not looters lashing out from built up frustration…

But so far, they're still there. Doing business as usual so there must be something in it for them. So please...stop trying to get us to play violins for the Koreans when they seem to be doing fairly well in the relationship.
Arabs maybe? They also have the rep of being racist against Black people; even Muslim Arabs over Muslim Blacks looking at Sudan.

Maybe. Armenians...Indians...whatever. But if the Koreans weren't there, SOMEBODY else would be.

So this poppycock that without Koreans, blacks would have no commerce is a load of bullocks. Blacks in L.A. have dough to spend, and someone is gonna be there to get some of it.

Koreans stick around because only in ghettos they don't face competition from other ethnic groups. Nobody wants to do business in the ghettos. That's why instead of colorful supermarkets you have little Korean stores. People from the ghettos scared the business away. That's what they always do: they make their own environment better They should be thankful they have Koreans cause no white person would deal with the ghetto sh*t.

Uh...Einstein, when i say commercial districts i'm talking about areas where folks go shopping. Like strip malls. We don't have Starbucks on residential corners where i live.

And again, if the Koreans leave, someone else would take their place in a minute. They always do. The Koreans aren't there for altruistic reasons, but because black folks have good money to spend. If the Koreans aren't there to get it, someone else will step into the breach. That's economics. The Koreans haven't left because they KNOW someone else will take their place, and furthermore, those Koreans have nowhere else to go or they would've went there already.

So it's mutual. Don't expect black folks to kiss the asses of Korean shop owners. No one owes anyone any thanks. The blacks need a cornerstore, and the Koreans need the money. It's as simple as that.

Looters are thieves taking advantage of opportunity. Has nothing to do with frustration and ideology....

You just did nit undesrstand what I wrote. I simply showed that conditions of living of black population in the US are not a result of slavery. Black population in Africa does not generally have a higher standard of living or enjoys more safety than Black population in the US.
Blacks in the US should appreciate the fact they live here ad not in some thrirld world country and stop treating the state as an oppressor.
