Moral of the story, don't open stores in "diverse" areas because then you are left with the option of letting people steal from your store or being accused of being racist.
Next area over from my house, they had target, Best Buy, a massive mall with tons of stores that flourished back in the 90s. Drugs and African population hit it... looted/robbed... every single store, was shut down with exception of a shoe carnival, that seems to thrive just fine. All that is left is like Home Depot and Lowes. The entire area is just drug infested ghetto area.
Its a sad story, and it point was proven by your comment. I saw it happen myself. White people live there too, but its primarily African American, and its just sad. I always worried about it dragging my area down being next door, but we have a massive police presence at the boundary, and theres a bus shuttle that shuttles them right past us, we dont even have sidewalks for people to walk from there. Prevents them from coming over.
Quick search on google. Lol

shows the crime in the area and if you click on demographics tab and scroll down.. 70% African American. 24% white, rest is misc.
I find this hard to believe. I thought malls were dying.
They are. Often because truant teens and dropouts hang out there.
DeadMalls.com is worth a read. Google the malls behind the visits by the site and you get, in my opinion, an interesting snap shot of an America that is seemingly lost due to structural failures of the economy.

So I'm guessing your point is "Blacks should stay away". I can't think of any other point.
All I can close with is this. I can't help is some thug who happens to be Black is causing problems. I can only take care of me.
Exactly. Dont wear a hoodie, dont get kicked out just follow the rules. Not everything is race bait, but majority of the time theres additional things going down other than just hoodies. I got in trouble for laying my hand on the black kid stealing stuff. Its just bs, cant punish or let them get put in jail. If they was stealing and white I would of grabbed them just the same, but now id prob get charged a hate crime. and yes.. my area is 70% white 20% African, with 1/10th the crime rate. Even though we are less than a mile away from each other and our house values are like 4x more. Crazy really.
People who do things like this just to cause a stir are lame, those ladies shouldn't go out their way to try and cause an issue.
I have an idea. They should all do the same thing again. This time, when the SG approaches them, instead of complying, as they did, they should resist and confront the SG, as the black teen did. And when they're thrown out of the mall, they should go right back in--as the black teen did.
the malls in my area are dead, and its because of the hoodies
The malls are dead because they are archaic remnants of a bygone era.
