All Star has a point! Race plays a huge factor in where retail stores choose to locate. I don't know if it's a stereotype or what but these corporate suits have no idea that blacks probably spend a higher percentage of their disposble income on clothes than any other race. You rarely see white, asian, indian kids, etc.... standing in line for 12 hours for a pair of $250 J's.
They know melanated people will spend their money on a bunch of stuff that they cant afford to try to impress a bunch of people that they don't like.

So you don't think white people in America do this as well? It's an American issue. Ladies heels, purses, Luxury Cars, even big houses is something that Americans have been doing since forever. And Yes, the poor white neighborhood I lived in had plenty expensive kids toys and bikes as well as hooked up muscle cars or Asian cars. Same stuff, different toilet.
On subject, I'm surprised that I haven't been to that many tier 2 cities besides Miami. I think I have to put Seattle and Pittsburgh on my to-do list. Does everyone think that Atlanta is that far off from the other cities mentioned. It's not super vibrant but it has a little something going on.

Do they literally fight each other to buy things that they can't afford as melanated people do?
Is that a valid reason for melanated people to fight over Air Jordans?? Because white people fight at Wal-mart on black friday? I'm not for or against any particular race, Btw. Just trying find see how people defend fighting each other to spend money on silly s**t.

To reiterate my first statement: It is a problem, but it's an AMERICA problem, not one that is specific to black or brown people.
The food in New Orleans is because of White french culture. Let's be honest here. Cajan cuisine is not African American. New Orleans is nothing like DC, Baltimore, Detriot, or Memphis. It's French.
Also, the property values point is right on. That's what I'm talking about.
Creole culture, not quite the same as "White french." Definitely a lot better race relations though as it was a cultural tie for New Orleans more than a racial one.
African American cuisine had a lot of regional variation. In the Carolinas, where rice was abundant, there were dishes like Hoppin' John and Chicken Bog. In places where corn was more prevalent, there were more corn-based dishes (cornbread became a universal staple of "soul food" only in recent decades). There was never only one "African American" food and there still isn't today.

Have you ever even seen a line outside a high end sneaker store when they're about to release something that is limited edition? Sneakerheads of every color. Do you not even live in a city?
