Blame white people for not knowing where to get food brehs
idiot post i see.
so let me help you.
i grew up in the hood. There was no OPTIONS for better food. if moms/pops say lets stop eating fast food. ok, so now we eat better. but not great. because the local grocery stores are stocked with subpar meat. I'll give you an example. when i was growing up. there was ground beef that had a sign on it that said lean or something. it meant it was 70% meat, 30% fat.
When in reality it was more like 60/40. you knew this after you put that beef in a pan and cooked it. all the fat would turn into grease in the pan. therefore leaving you with a little bitty patty. i got this from Ralphs.
now, i got older went to college in a mostly white area. sure the students were diverse but the community wasnt.
i goto to the same grocery store(Ralphs , some of yalls are called kroger..same spot) but its a nicer looking ralphs. the fruit looks better the moment i go into the store. they even have some exotic fruits you dont see in the hood stores. (nuccas never saw a kiwi in a hood ralphs back in the day, let alone a kumquat. but i saw these things in the white ralphs).
so i mosey on over to the meat section. same beef. For the first time i see beef packages that say 15 lean and 10% lean. i notice how RED the meat is in comparison to my HOod ralphs meet. i take it home and cook it. this patty is almost the same size it was when i made the shape with my hands. most of it didnt turn into grease in the pan while cooking it.
The price for better quality meat was the same in the white ralphs.
so not only are you giving us subpar food, you're charging us quality prices for it. aint that about a .....
if you run the numbers. stats will show you MOST humans shop/eat within a certain radius of where they live. in you dont live CLOSE to white people. You're ishhh outta luck my friend.
i'll ask you again. how many hood areas has a Trader joes in it? I'll wait. remember i live in cali, L.A. So we have white people, black folks, hispanic, asians. running around all over the place. doesnt matter. you still cant find a trader joes in the hood. WHY NOT? we will over pay for worse food at ralphs or vons or albertsons
The food at trader joes is cheaper and usually of higher quality. so why would they think black folks wouldnt keep them in business? even black folks gotta eat to survive? its racism my friend. developers dont like to develop in black areas. they wait to gentrification takes over. then all of a sudden here comes a trader joes and a whole foods market. and all these HEALTHY choices.
there's a reason poor folks and especially black poor folks remain that way. They are taxing you for being broke and black. to pay the same price for lesser quality EVERYTHING(clothes, food, cars, etc) thats a tax on your brokeness and blackness.) poor whites can experience this as well to some degree. but not to the same degree as poor black folks.
you have me spending my last dime on bad food, which in turn makes me ill have have all sorts of medical issues. well i'm poor because i work a job that doesnt pay much. and now i'm paying a ton of my little money out to purchase drugs for my health and hospital/urgent care visits since my blood pressure is too high or my Sugasss (diabetes) are too low/high. if i already dont make a lot. i surely cant afford a healthcare bill all the time. but i have no choice to eat better in reality. so the only way it could happen is first someone has to tell me that there's something different 10 miles away in the white area. i have to hope i make it there without getting pulled over by a racist cop. when i get there. i have to remember i just wasted 10 miles worth of gas to make that trip. once again, taxing the broke man for being broke.
white people will have multiple high quality choices within 1 mile from one another.
trader joes is on one corner, high end ralphs is on the other. 3 blocks away is a Sprouts market (another trader joes level store). 2 miles away is a bristol farms(another high end market).
if you're a drinker, even their wine selections are much better.
WE are BEING TAXED FOR BEING POOR AND BLACK.
which has a residual effect of making you remain POOR. it's a sad LOOP.
