Where Have All the Rioters Gone?

Soros onto other things now that hillary is no longer a factor

The race of the business owners doesn't change the fact that the anger of the rioters was misdirected at them. The L.A. riots were a response to the police getting away with systematic brutality and racism.

While the store owners you described may have been racist, I can't say they deserved to have their business destroyed. You say they followed customers around in response to some people stealing. That will feel disrespectful as a customer that knows they aren't stealing anything but they have a right to protect their business just as any customer has a right to not spend money with that business.

WRONG again my friend. those L.A riots. were a response to ALL OF IT. you must not live in L.A. or perhaps you're to young to remember.

It was Rodney king, Rodney King verdict, Then Latasha harlins.

That girl was Latasha Harlins, a 15-year-old high school student. Her shooter was Soon Ja Du, a Korean American grocer in South Central Los Angeles. The killing happened on March 16, 1991, just over two weeks after four police officers brutally beat Rodney King.

That girl was Latasha Harlins, a 15-year-old high school student. Her shooter was Soon Ja Du, a Korean American grocer in South Central Los Angeles. The killing happened on March 16, 1991, just over two weeks after four police officers brutally beat Rodney King. In November of that year, Du would be convicted of involuntary manslaughter, but would walk out of an L.A. courtroom with only five years of probation, 400 hours of community service and a $500 fine.

On April 29, 1992, when Rodney King’s assailants were acquitted, a culmination of grief and loss fed the flames that burned in Los Angeles for six days. Many evoked the name of Latasha Harlins when they set fires to buildings, including the Du’s Empire Liquor Market Deli.

and just in case you still aint following me and this is coming from a person who has had asian friends since he was a kid til today. from multiple countries within asia(korean included). My family has had them as well and have been close with them and knew some that actually owned a business in downtown L.A. where the family friend worked at times for his parents.

Are Koreans Keeping Blacks Out of the Hair Weave Industry?

Approximately 9,800 beauty supply businesses exist nationwide; but only a little more than 300 are black-owned

According to the article, Korean-American entrepreneurs control all major components of the beauty supply business. There are four central distributors serving a large portion of the beauty supply stores in the country, all Korean-owned. These distributors only work with other Koreans in order to dominate the market.

“The Koreans strategically make it harder for us to get into the business. They have the supplies the customers want,” Robinson said. “They sell it to us at higher prices or they deliver the products late to the black-owned stores. Sometimes they don’t allow orders from us at all.

and one more for good measure.
The Social Contract - Help Wanted No Blacks Need Apply

In the 16 years that he has built his wholesale toy business in downtown Los Angeles, Charles Woo has helped several other Chinese and a number of Vietnamese immigrants start their own small businesses. As his company has grown, he has hired whites and Mexican immigrants.

But one group hasn't benefitted from Mr. Woo's success American-born blacks.

Early on, Mr. Woo hired some African-Americans. But now his 22-person work force at Megatoys is made up of Chinese and Mexican immigrants and a handful of whites.

Mr. Woo says he isn't prejudiced. But when he has an opening in the warehouse, he says, he is likely to fill it with another Mexican immigrant, probably recruited by his workers. Blacks have a 'negative image,' he says, and they don't mix well with workers of other backgrounds.

The reluctance of Mr. Woo and other immigrant entrepreneurs to hire American-born blacks represents one of the workplace's great cleavages. As immigrant-owned businesses grow - and shed the image of mom-and-pop stores employing a few relatives - they are recruiting Mexican-Americans, West Indians and other immigrants. But while they are minorities themselves, many immigrant bosses are refusing to employ the nation's largest minority, sometimes invoking troubling stereotypes to explain themselves......

The truth is, they are fed a bunch of negative stereotypes by white ran entertainment when it comes to black people. So they are already assuming blacks act, think, and do things a certain way. Then you also have the ones who want workers to do things that are illegal. like working overtime without having to pay overtime. like paying people under the table at below the proper wage for the job. these are the main two reasons they for the most part would not hire black people. Because black people are actual american citizens that have been here for a very long time, we actually know a lot of our worker rights and we have ancestors who have fought for said rights. So yes they are correct, there are a few things black folks aint having. that another minority just coming to the states would not even think twice about doing because he/she doesnt know their rights and do not understand how do things against those rights actually erodes everyone's rights.

And when the devastated riot area is rebuilt, it will be non-black contractors, architects, planners, construction companies, insurers and developers who will reap economic windfall from a black community destroyed.

lol. there was no black community of stores and business owners. if there were blacks would not burn it down. why do you think koreans were putting up "BLACK OWNED" signs on their businesses doing the Riots? Because they knew Black people would not intentionally target black businesses. So please stop repeating that nonsense. its not true. period.

There has in my memory NEVER been a Black Riot that has burned down their a community full of their own businesses. not saying that one off businesses here and there didnt get caught in the crossfire. it happens. but for the most part we aint burning down our own stuff. that aint OURS. we aint benefiting from it much anyway. those dollars are not being recycled back into the community.

It is an highly-false assumption that every store or institution in our communities is a price-gouging, immigrant-owned liquor store or bodega.

Alfred and Bernice Ligon were the proprietors and owners of the Aquarian Bookshop and Aquarian Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, CA, the longest continuously owned black bookstore in the U.S.

The Aquarian Bookshop was unfortunately a casualty of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and was burned to the ground with 7,000 books inside. A group of independent bookstores collectively organized to raise money to rebuild the bookshop, and also held a benefit featuring Maya Angelou and Alice Walker. Together, they collected $70,000 to reopen the store, which was short lived as the store closed in 1994 after Bernice was diagnosed with liver cancer.

like i said ONE business here One business there. for the most part black people were not intentionally torching BLack owned businesses. that is a flat out lie.

IN addition. There arent many black owned businesses in those areas where the Riots have broken out.
So this idea of "we're burning down our own... is a flat out lie. it aint OURS. we dont own ish in those communities.

Let me prove it to you. Liemert park a well known black spot in L.A. where well to blacks live a few miles away. it used to be kind of like a Cali Harlem back in the day. They now have a Train being built going right thru there. Black people in the community asked for a STop in liemert. I told my wife, that was not a good idea. she was like why? and she's usually up on all things black, white supremacy, etc. I said watch what will happen. sure enough. they get the stop granted to the area. and now ALL of the black business that were LEASING(we dont own ISH) space from Asians, Jewish folks, White folks are now being told they will not renew their leases. you know what that means. say good by to L.A.'s black harlem. its a wrap. I know this because I can see it with my own eyes. The buildings are getting boarded up, Redone and soon will be open to others(probably whites) to put up cafes, etc. there. there quite a few more whites in the community buying up homes. You dont need a riot to get rid of you when you dont OWN ish. and when we did OWN the buildings in our areas and the businesses. The white man can thru and took it from us by way of laws. Do not listen to people even black people talking crazy and telling lies about its blacks faults for not having communities full of black owned businesses. No its not. It was strategically setup this way for a reason and we were never included. People refuse to understand how dead set white supremacy is own making sure blacks dont run much of anything no matter how hard they work.

The government will pull that Eminent domain nonsense on you if push comes to shove.
