And then, I predict, the citizenry will start complaining that there aren't enough stores serving their community, and that those stores that are there charge higher prices than similar stores in mostly "white" communities. And the Rangles and Sharptons and Jacksons will say this is just another example of how black people are being treated unfairly in this country.
Wanna bet?
Unfortunately you are exactly right.

That also gives us insight into the way the demagogues are seemingly able to perpetually exploit the credulous underclass. Always saying "its somebody else's fault" seems to work every time.

By contrast, the message of personal responbility is a tough sell.
