Black Neighborhood Unites to Open a Grocery Store

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Mexicans have been doing this all over Texas over the past 20-30 years. Black folk need to do this TENFOLD

Their culture is intact so they have an identity and purpose. Alabama has had a strong Mexican presence for about 15 years now.....and not only do they have one of the better big grocery stores in Birmingham, their authentic restaurant and used tire game is insane.......Its like 3 Mexican grocery stores within 6 miles of one another...They run that lil section in Bham

This is fantastic to hear.
I just hope it stays that way if it comes to fruition.
I've seen far too many black businesses sell to whites or arabs instead of blacks after starting (speaking about Milwaukee, fwiw).

Mexicans are doing this here on the East Coast also.

I'm not talking about Lena's (to my knowledge its still black), just the multitude of smaller businesses around the area that was black owned & operated that aren't any more.

Hopefully they can keep it together and become a thriving store because...

People love to wait and see what others are doing first to mimic and follow suit, thus...

If store is successful, It could serve as a inspiration for further group action throughout various black 'communities.'

I hope you some of you realize this is actually socialism (or communism if you please) at work. A core feature of socialism is worker/community owned enterprises.
