Walmart & Target closing stores in Black neighborhoods. Racist or Justified?

How would it be racist? You think they’re charities or what? They’re looking to make a profit as well as keeping their staff safe (mainly to avoid law suits or extra expenses, they of course don’t really give a shit about employees as people). If they can’t reach those goals in black neighborhoods for whatever reasons (we all know the reasons) then they’re going to close. If people in those areas behaved and these stores saw great profit in those areas I promise they wouldn’t close.

C. Neither. :D

Business is business, they do whatever they need, regardless of race. Soooo, silly question.

Stores open & close all the time & as for Walmart & Target & every other store if you are not making money you will go out of business & closing is justified if the store is underperforming or not making sales goals.

Theft is why they are closing stores

@888theGreat People nowadays like their five finger discounts & if I were a store owner I would close up shop as well.

They can't. keep stores open when showing large losses from theft

There was a big problem with shoplifting and the employees did not feel safe. They did not like working in a warzone. In a lot of these cities they are run by democrats who defund the police and make it impossible for them to do their jobs, Liberal DAs stopped prosecuting shoplifters so as a result you had more shoplifters. These idiots got voted into office and until they get voted out , the people deserve when they get.

I would say it's racist. I bet they're closing because they're assuming that ONLY BLACK PEOPLE can steal. ANYONE can steal, it doesn't have to do with race.

[Asker]

The general consensus is that the stores they are closing are constantly being robbed, shop lifted and vandalised and they are losing money.

[menina]

I get it, but I bet that also happens in areas where there aren't black people.

[Asker]

But it doesn't happen to the extent thst the stores have to be shut.

[menina]

It's still wrong and I still think it's racist.

[Avicenna]

Well, the stores are closing where there is lots of theft that isn't prosecuted by the local DA's office. Can't expect a business to keep operating where that is occurring.

[RasmusAiken]

The stores would stay open if the bottom-line revenue was good.

[gorydetails]

These stores are being looted constantly. Absolutely justified.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence or something.
