Retail theft, not armed robbery. I suppose I could say the same of you(lying), any links? I doubt I can find any links, since it wasn't a huge story, and was a while ago.
Retail theft is normal. Post up a link to a retailer that doesn't have any theft.
Wouldn't you be a bit prejudice if blacks committed theft and tried to destroy your business.
My house got vandalized by Whites, I been bullied and beaten up by Whites. I do go holding prejudice towards the entire White population. I've been subjected to Black on Black crime. I don't hold the entire Black population responsible for that.
This is why I have problems with people who think the way you describe. By my own experiences, you could say I could feel justified in having prejudice towards Whites, but I don't think that way.
I am no more responsible for the actions of other people in my race than you are for the people in yours.
Thank you. When a White classmate of mine busted my mailbox, I blamed him, and his parents. His parents should have been disciplining him better, and he shouldn't have done what he did. I didn't hold the White population responsible. He is responsible for his actions. Same goes for when some of his friends tried to shove me into a storm drain. I hold those individuals responsible. Individuals are responsible for their actions. If I do something stupid, hold ME, and me alone responsible, not the rest of the Black population.
Must be turning some kind of profit or they wouldn't be there.
I like money more than I hate people, so yes.
A lemonade stand can turn a profit.
And like money more than you hate people? You'd have to be a sad sack of **** to go to a job or own a business where you hate your clientele. Only someone without money would think that way. No one with any real skill would live or think like that.

You'd be perfectly justified; humans learn through experience, and negative experiences leave particularly strong impressions.
Either a subconscious prejudice (unknowingly driving around white neighborhoods) or an overt prejudice (active racism towards whites) would be a perfectly rational outcome based on your experiences.
Someone who is on the receiving end of a high-level of black crime is simply going to do the human thing and associate blacks with negative experiences and generally dislike them.

This is basic human nature.
Well, I don't think in those terms. Alot of bad things have been done to me by some White people. However, I don't consider it a good thing to go after the whole race.

Well, it was a hypothetical since I work from home with data and apart from e-mail and conference calls have no human interaction in regards to my business, but I would absolutely still take the money of any and all because I'm the pragmatic sort and far from an idealist.
You call it "sad", I call it "business acumen".
I suspect this is a viewpoint from our wildly differing backgrounds. Whatcha gonna do?

Not everyone has the luxury of that level of introspection.
I'm assuming you can afford to choose where you live and whom you interact with. Someone who has been at the receiving end of abuse+crime from race X and is stuck living with them is going to accumulate some serious animosity.

Actually, I cannot afford it right now. I live with my parents for now. Economic situation.
