The black community is shocked over the announcement that 7-11 is closing 400 stores in predominately black areas.
"The move to close stores in black communities is Jim Crow racism, and we won't stand for it", said Jamarius Washington, a Houston, Texas native.
This is what Jamarius considers "Jim Crow racism":

Rob them weekly, beat up the owners yearly, burn them down with every election, make sure they get no help from the police and the government, and then accuse the company of racism when they give up and close down.
And when Jamarius says "we won't stand for it", what does he plan to do? Have the government mandate that 7-11s remain open? 'Cause last I checked, that ain't something the government has the power to do.

don't go to a model where all customers are served from a window, like a drive-thru, and are never actually allowed in the store. That should
stop this nonsense immediately. If you do this everywhere, even in quiet neighbourhoods, no one can accuse you of racism either. People can still
buy whatever they want and the store should still make good money.
Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work?

Sure. They’ll mug your employees in the parking lot when they come and go. Same treatment for other customers.

Isn't the attraction of robbing a 7-11 or Walgreens or whatever that you
can take a LOT of stuff in one trip?
only going to leave the store with a few items. It hardly seems worth
the risk of trying to steal it given the minimal payoff. Would they
really bother mugging someone for a Big Gulp and a hot dog?
Of course they could conceivably force an employee with a key to reopen
the store and then loot the hell of it but then we've got something a
lot more serious than shoplifting taking place. They'd have to grab the employee, threaten them to give up the key, tie them up or hold them
under guard which would amount to unlawful confinement, then go in and
empty the store all without attracting attention from police or security guards.

In my experience (I’ve been in convenience stores while they were robbed.) it’s more “grab a six pack of beer and run for it”
Any given customer or employee is
only going to leave the store with a few items. It hardly seems worth
the risk of trying to steal it given the minimal payoff. Would they
really bother mugging someone for a Big Gulp and a hot dog?
No, I’m thinking retaliation mugging. If they’re not gonna put up with stores being closed, they’re not gonna put up with anything that keeps them from stealing, including having to buy stuff at the window. Some idiot will probably try sticking a gun through the window, but more likely is to just start pounding on the employees when they’re outside the store and making it clear that will go on until they’re allowed to steal from the inside of the store again.

I'm sure he doesn't speak for the black community. There are still
decent people who aren't among the assholes, who are well aware of the
harsh cost the assholes inflict upon their community.
As always, one jerk running his mouth saying stupid things gets
attention. Do we have middle-aged black people marching against looting, >vandalism, and arson? Do people march against robbery and violence? No, >because ordinary people don't march.
Fair enough; I hadn't thought of that. I can't think of an easy fix for
that. Having the employer pick up all the employees and take them home
with a security guy riding shotgun isn't even going to solve that
problem: the thugs can just follow them home, find out where they live,
and then wait for them there to do a retaliation mugging at their own >convenience.
