Shop Us Before You Buy
By Joe Black
If our Black communities have realistic plans to improve A
living conditions, one thing is perhaps more important than
anything else.
Our Black communities need to grow.
By growing, I don't mean In population. Or In area. Or In
new building starts. Our communities must begin to grow
economically
The reason for economic growth Is simple. We mustestab- i
llsh and attract business to our communities.
But. to attract new business, we are faced with some
nasty old business we have to take care of first
The business of curbing crime In our communities.
We must all begin to give greater respect to law and order,
and stop remaining silent when we see It being broken. We
must stop excusing Black crime, and turning our eyes away
from it when we see It happening.
Btack robbing, and extorting from Black business Is not
beautiful. W? need to weed out that Insidious dement from
our neighborhoods, soon. We have to stand together and
stamp out the parasites who call us brother to our faces, then
rob us bhnd when our backs are turned. •
I simpty can’t believe th*t Black crime is the result of years
ofekyrtvabtoo and oppression. Ifao. why aren’t we all stealing
Let us stand strong against crime. All of us. When we do,
we wffi make our neighborhoods far more attractive to busi
ness. Which, in turn, will create more Jobs. And reduce lnsur
ance rates. And add millions of dollars to our spendable
income.
Consider for a moment: Can crime do as much for all of ua&i
