Why are gas stations particularly dangerous?

Race isnt the problem. Culture is. The ghettofab philosophy is a serious problem.
Even in black communities where urban decay is extremely tame, the ghettofab inspiration is there.

Alot of the people arent poor. Theyre broke.
They have cars, gas statiins, corner stores, nice toys, medical servixes, etc.

But they dont have autonomous finances.

> Alot of the people arent poor. Theyre broke.

Reminds me of a video I saw years ago where a Black woman was explaining why the whole ballling mentality is the reason the Black community can’t get out of its rut. She claimed money made by Black people doesn’t stay in their communities because everyone is so obsessed with buying cars, nice clothes, chains, etc. Meanwhile, rich white people stay rich because they invest their money. Think about how the Irish in America were dirt poor when they immigrated but are now sons of the most powerful people in the country: they were smart and strategic and worked their way through city politics and made sure their communities acquired inter generational wealth. Look at the Kennedy family for instance. Why are there no Black “Kennedy” families? Because they piss their money away on luxury consumer goods rather than using it strategically.

Easy targets for robbery and a lot of shady characters(heavy drug users) hang out there.

>The future of sprawling Sun Belt boomtowns like Phoenix, LA, Houston, and so on will look quite a lot like modern Detroit.

What about cities like Seattle and Portland, Oregon? What would be their fate?

>>529660
They have access to drinkable water and natural resources.

>>529626
Because in the hood gas stations are some of the only places where people can hang out. They don’t have restaurants, cafés, bars, nightclubs, bookstores, record shops, or any other place to go. Hell, most hoods don’t even have Walmart.

>>529662
At least when it comes to Seattle. I'm a little worried that the lack of mountian snowpack would make the water supply strained during the summer months.

Satanic trips checks out.

>>529658
bro it's not "hurr durr black people can't into saving money" it's because they are institutionally blocked from investing and buying property

>>529674
A one point so were the Irish.

>>529674
It’s both. Blacks who have the ability to invest choose to spend their money on frivolous shit instead.

>>529674
Ironically, Detroit and Chicago used to have plenty of Black homeowners.

>>529658
Also by black, I mean black American.
Youe also forgetting gentrification.


Also, white rich folks dont really invest in their own communities as much as they invest in connections for their offspring. And the momey can fall apart easily.

They're the site of about 90% of hood commerce.

The ghetto only has gas stations, 7-11, McDonald's, KFC, and if you're really lucky Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme.

>>529851
Definitely not racially-coded. But hey, what do you expect from a copraganda YouTube channel?

Inshallah, Detroit will be fixed.

>If anything, LA is the "new Detroit" in the sense that everyone and anyone is leaving the city. Last time I was there for a visit not too long ago I couldn't believe how many white folks were fed up with LA and California politics in general and wanted to leave for Texas or Florida. The Hispanics and Filipinos all wanted to stay though.
Lol official demographics of LA is only 25% White. Unless you go to the rich areas, you won't see any "Whites" in LA(they're counting Armenians and Persians and etc. as White.)

>>529663
This makes me sad NGL. The hood is quite literally an open-air prison.

I want to see Caleb try to start a church already. you know it's going to all end in tears and possibly suicides.

He already has: “City Builders Ministries”.

Unironically this.

>>529863
Amazing they’ll do this in a gas station but not in a bank.

>>530402
Huh? You think people aren't robbing banks everyday?

What's with retards and popping in to say:
>why don't people just [do thing everybody does but I never heard of because I like to give my opinions before doing any research]

>>530404
So based

>>530402
its almost like gas stations have less security than banks

>>530408
The punishment for bank robbery is much worse too.

>>529863
This sort of activity should happen in every city in every country. Sometimes scare the pigs, sometimes shoot them in the leg, other times execution.

Detroit can't be THAT bad, can it?

It goes on all the time. My dad knows this guy who robbed banks in Leafland and sent the money to the liberation front back home.

An Eritrean restaurant owner suspected of robbing Canadian banks to fund rebels in his homeland decades ago was deported from Los Angeles this week, immigration officials said Thursday.

Officers escorted Berhe Mahrai, 56, to Eritrea on a commercial airline flight and he was repatriated, according to Tammy Wilson of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Mahrai had been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport in February after a routine background check by border protection agents revealed he was the target of an "ICE lookout," Wilson said in a written release.

Canadian authorities advised their US counterparts Mahrai was a bank robber whose motive appeared to be supporting fellow members of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, a rebel group active during the 1970s and 1980s.

Eritrea won its prolonged fight for independence from Ethiopia in 1993. The Liberation Front became the People's Front for Democracy and Justice, the ruling party in Eritrea.

Mahrai, who operated two liquor stores and an Ethiopian restaurant in Los Angeles, had immigrated legally to the US in the early 1970s.

Mahrai and another Ethiopian national robbed two banks in Canada in 1974, according to ICE. Mahrai was convicted of the heists and sentenced to prison in Canada, Wilson said.

Mahrai was deported to Ethiopia in 1976, and is believed to have returned to the United States about five years later, according to ICE.

Mahrai applied for US citizenship but it was denied in 2002 because of his criminal history, Wilson said.

ICE subsequently linked Mahrai to his Canadian convictions and also learned he was wanted by local police who suspected he had assaulted someone with a deadly weapon, according to officials.

"The lesson in this is that those who fail to reveal their true past can expect to experience the full weight of the law," said John Salter, Chief Counsel for ICE in Los Angeles.

No one here is advocating reparations for Black communities?
