Also always amusing when New Yorkers talk of the need to integrate into the community, as though they are paragons of assimilation when they go to someplace that isn't NYC.
“Maybe he should look into why all of these communities filled with POC don’t have the ‘nice’ supermarkets like whole foods and Kroger,” wrote one Twitter user. “They somehow just happen to be in the ‘nicer/white’ parts of town huh.”
This really shows you that this is all about anti-white racism.
They don't even disagree with with his complaint - they think it sucks, too. But because he came in and complained about their area, they're defending their area of out of pure tribalism, even though they complain about the exact same thing themselves.
The sheer absurdity of Green’s cancellation should alarm all Americans. Where you stand on the bodega question shouldn’t determine whether you can exist in society. And if leftists want to ruin your life based on where you prefer to buy your groceries, just imagine what they would do with complete state power. What they did to Griffin Green, they would ecstatically do to us all a hundredfold. Never forget that.
I'm glad there are still writers who are awake, rather than 'woke'.
The guy in the video canceling him even complains about the place. “Yes, it is true this place sucks and has historically deprived these neighborhoods of mostly black and brown folks of resources, but…” The sole reason he’s criticizing the guy is because he’s white. If a black guy went there and made the same video, this guy would say “spot on, honey! Historically, this city has…”
Don't they bitch about the "food deserts" in those neighborhoods? Shouldn't they be all for people asking Kroger and Whole Foods to open in those areas to alleviate this imaginary problem?
it's a real problem caused by themselves, grocery stores closed the stores in their neighborhoods/never opened one because high theft rate and high taxes made it unprofitable
They can't decide of bodegas are some core part of NYC's cultural identity which need to be preserved or if they're indicative of some systematic problem the city has providing nutritious food to its citizens.
And they do! I know I've read at least 5 MSM articles over the last couple of years shitting all over "dollar stores" (Family Dollar / Dollar General) and their rise in prominence but how they are a blight on rural neighborhoods because they aren't stocked to the gills with fresh fruits and vegetables and don't have the full selection of a regular grocery store and are just contributing to "food deserts" in certain areas. Great, now they can do bodegas.
What an odd non-problem to complain about. I live in a rural farming community. Sure, by far, the nearest "grocery story" as such is a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree/Family Tree/Whatever. And yes, not all of them are stocked with produce. But some of them are, and they're all over the place. You don't need every single one to have everything in order to have access to fresh food. You just need one within a reasonable distance...and in my experience, there is. And if there's not, you're probably not too far from a Publix, or Winn-Dixie, or Wal-mart.
It's just an odd complaint, probably driven by "data" looked at by someone with no connection to the actual reality on the ground.
Another user echoed a similar sentiment, writing, “If it were just about blending cultures, there would be no issue. It’s about how we (white people) start by infiltrating, then change the dynamic and cost of living, forcing displacement. We aren’t supporting business owners who don’t look like us, we are taking over. Not okay.”
or that the NYC culture they demand integration into is the correct one. living in a food desert is wrong on all levels, not something you should accept.

Christ the only places these people could survive in would be Chicago, London, and San Francisco. And scratch San Francisco because it's a giant homeless shelter rn.
The American Sun has a decent summary article about the ordeal.

Bodegas.. That is just a cool word. IMHO.
Bodegas.

So it's only a problem when white people do that?
