I grew up I a predominantly white neighborhood in a very segregated city, and I heard people harping on riots and unrest in the blacker areas and how that was bad for their neighborhoods. It wasn’t until I was older that I heard the argument that the buildings they were looting or burning weren’t part of their community. If a large company put a store in their neighborhood and it got looted, it wasn’t bad for their community became none of the success of that company was shared by the company - they were essentially just extracting wealth from the area. Some areas having already been flipping the board. We’re just getting to the point that more are ready to say “fuck boardwalk!”
