Show me a neighborhood that HAS gone down BECAUSE of a Wal-Mart going in.

Someone posts up a link with White people brawling in Walmart and we get *crickets*

lol
Look around you, this is an Anti Black forum. All those people were frothing at the mouth about that San Diego cop getting killed. Immediately blaming Obama and BLM, turns out it was a Latino Gangmember and the thread has moved off page 1. This forum is very Anti Black.

It's more like alot of people who flock to this forum are anti-Black. To me, this reflects the amount of prejudice still out there. It saddens me because I'm not anti-White or anti-any other ethnic group. I'm the type that loves everybody. Stuff like this reminds me that Blacks are the most looked down on no matter what.

WK - You recognized the basic bias of this forum very quickly with only 29 posts. It did not take me much longer some years ago. Effectively this is a Right Wing Crazies bulletin board with a very substantial racial and religious bias. These posters are really afraid of Blacks and Muslims. I and a few other rational people stick around just to know our enemies a bit better and attempt to add some rationality to the discussion.


I am not consider myself a racist or religious bigot because I do not like anyone all that much and cannot bother to discriminate.


Welcome to the fray.

Well, this is what I see. Very few people will actually admit they are anti-Black. It can be seen through their posts, but few will admit it. Few will admit to being wrong. Some will let their anti-Black bias be known, but with alot of excuses to go along with it.

Oh I'm well versed about this forum, other forums talk about this forum as being a white nationalist heavily biased heavily moderated forum. If you google city-data you'll see plenty of posts about this being baby stormfront. I came over just to see what it's about and yup, it's correct. It's like posters tip toe around actually saying the N word as a game. Let me see how vile I can be by not actually coming out and saying I hate Blacks. So I'll use words like, Welfare leeches, Thug, Animal, etc.

This is why we need law enforcement, support of our police forces, and restoration of "Law and Order".
We NEED a civil society to be safe and productive and unified.

It isn't hard to find, there are lots of stories out there where Walmart moved into a small town market, killed all the local businesses, then closed down the unneeded Walmarts, lay off unneeded employees, then leave a depressed area with one or two Walmarts to cater to a region that is void of local businesses.

I remember seeing this happen in Northern Idaho, it was really sad how they literally crippled the local economy to put in their stores.
