What Happens to Dozens of Minority-Owned Businesses Destroyed in Riots?

 Written by Tom Steward in Crime, Government, Race June 01, 2020

It remains a mystery why Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter essentially stood by and allowed rioters to take control of huge swaths of the Twin Cities on four consecutive nights before deploying the necessary force to quash the violence on May 30. Little did Minnesotans realize they needed to take Walz literally when he repeatedly said at his media briefings that he was watching the rampage on TV with the rest of us.

We'll probably never know how many businesses and organizations that existed to serve inner city neighborhoods have been destroyed in the looting and arson following the death of George Floyd in police custody a week ago. But the ever-expanding casualty list of enterprises that have been damaged or burned down compiled on the Bring Me the News website now runs to over 200 businesses and non-profits in Minneapolis, more than 50 in St. Paul and 8 in the surrounding suburbs.........To Read More..... 

My Take - Wow!  You mean that they burned down black owned homes and businesses?  I thought this was a response to years of racism and injustice? Or is that narrative a load of crap to help promote the racist industrial complex?

But let’s not dwell on all that negativity regarding rioting, burning, plundering and murder. Let's try and see the positive aspect of all this burning, rioting, murdering and plundering.  This has now created a wonderful opportunity to expand our horizons and embrace diversity.  
 

Now that these people have destroyed their homes and all the businesses around them, they'll need to find a new neighborhood to move in to, with government support or course.  They've going to move into your neighborhood with government housing, welfare and food stamps.  Oh, and a gigantic rate of illegitimacy creating another generation of out of control children who refuse to go to school and when they do, violence and havoc follow. 
 

Isn't that just great? I just hope all the racists living in these neighborhoods who are against that are driven out.

Okay, let’s see a show of hands of who wants them in their neighborhood!!!!!!  Come on now, step forward!!!  Walk the talk!!!! 

Our Group's Take - I guess I just don't take enough different viewpoints into account, because everyone's viewpoint is equally valuable. The black owner of a small business who has worked his ass off to build Something that serves both his community and family certainly does not have a better viewpoint than another black man of The Streets who tells the CNN reporter that he's there for the loot and whatever he can carry as the former's business is torched to the ground.

And there are the black garbed, masked (oh wait, that is now a sign of virtuous Social Distancing responsibility) Antifa rabble that is organized, trucked in, and paid. Don't forget the pallets of bricks ready to throw every few blocks. They goad angry blacks to confront police while in the background they smash windows, throw Molotov cocktails, and organize looting. 

In the end, black Americans who are absolutely justified in their horror of Minneapolis police actions are hijacked into burning out their own neighborhoods, and turning them into even more hopeless, desolate, and anger-driven places before the riots. 

But it's OK because we have allowed the expression of a diversity of opinions, all of equal value since no one's opinion is worth more than another's. Meanwhile, the black owned local businesses are gone and unlikely to be replaced, the looters go home with their flat screen TVs, and the Antifa's slink back into the darkness never to be investigated but to lie in wait for the next opportunity.

Meanwhile, MSM ominously reports that anonymous sources tell them that ten Unidentified White Supremacists may have been lurking in the shadows. Which becomes the next headline.

What a mess.
