"here's a pretty funny story in the Washington Post about anti-immigrant racial hatred in an American small town. Read superficially, it starts off sounding like the Post's standard narrative about the evil whites in Springfield, OH who are so racist as to not welcome the tens of thousands of Haitians pouring in, except that …
Well, you'll have to read below the paywall where I sum up the ironies of what the post will show you in mind-numbing detail but won't quite come out and blatantly tell you because it would be inappropriate in diverse America in 2024 to point out clearly what the facts say about food deserts, immigrants, anti-immigrants, etc etc.
From the Washington post news section:
"how a grocery store fight fractured a Maryland town along racial lines""all residents of tiny snow hill wanted was a better grocery store. the efforts to get one reopened generational wounds.
"'generational' is a recent fad term that is used to imply that the ancestors of White people today were mean to the ancestors of black people today generations ago, which is why blacks in 2024 still have problems and why Whites in 2025 must pay.
"snow hill, population 2,200 was 57% White and 39% black in 2010, with 2% hispanic and 1% asian.

"snow hill, Md. — a 2.5-ounce bag of cheese puffs appeared to be the final straw for Tarak Patel and his food rite supermarket, the only one in this tiny town on the eastern shore.
"for months, Patel and his store had increasingly become targets of online critics, who had grown tired of the crapshoot that was shopping at the food rite, where practically every item, locals claimed, needed to be inspected for mold or an expiration date. the grousing came to a head on monday, feb. 12, in a fairly innocuous post to the neighbors of snow hill community on facebook. a woman by the name of Mary Mac [black] snapped a picture of some rap snacks cheese puffs, whose best-by date was Nov. 30, 2023 — or more than two months before she purchased the bag. Mac didn't say anything sensational about the grocery store or Patel in her post.
"she simply wrote: 'good ol foodrite.
"her comment echoed the general resignation that many in snow hill had come to feel about the food rite, an independent grocery store that, like others of its kind, faces mounting financial pressures to serve rural communities. over the years, grumbling about the supermarket had become as common as the loblolly pines in the forests of the lower eastern shore where snow hill was established in the late 17th century. if folks weren't accusing Patel of selling expired snacks, sour milk or discolored meat, they were lamenting the sagging infrastructure of the food rite itself, a building that's nearly seven decades old.
"what stood out about the cheese puffs post wasn't the content but people's reaction to it. the photo and comments, all of which have been deleted, divided members of the online neighbors community in ways that previous posts about the food rite had not, locals said. black residents who criticized Patel and his store, including Mac, were belittled and sometimes humiliated by White residents, several people said.
"so, now we are on track for the narrative: once again, Whites are racists toward blacks.
"but then it gets more amusing:..."
Small-town America is mostly White,which is why media wants to characterize it as "racist."
ReplyDeletePretty simple--and they also want to fill those towns up with minorities--spread the crime around.

In the very first episode of "Route 66" (written by Stirling Silliphant, of course), the two heroes drive into one of those archetypal "small towns" and are nearly lynched just for being "outsiders." That liberal trope has been around forever- the difference now is that "small town America" as it used to be is gone forever. Destroyed on purpose.

Old cheese puffs can be softened by dunking them in sour milk, and if it's a chronic problem, that's a failure of local government. And Snow Hill is only 1.6% Hispanic? Y'all don't know what you're missing... yet. See you at the grand opening of Tarak's Timeless Tacos.
ReplyDeleteAnd as if Indians hadn't already taken over the USA and Canada hotel business, the entire Motel 6 chain has just been bought out by an Indian holding company. Some uncurious, math-averse J-school writer and editor did not address the question of why Blackstone bought it for $1.9 Billion in 2012 and "invested heavily" in it, why are they selling it now for about one-fourth of that ($525 million).
Dammit, Sailer! You hide the rest of the story behind a paywall? No, I'm not clicking for a 7-day free trial, either. Maybe Vivek Romneyswamy will build on his Springfield visit and start a competing column and undercut your paywall by a couple rupees.

ReplyDeleteNobody get's lynched walking into (White) small towns. On the other hand you're chances of getting killed "walking while White" into areas negroes claim as their turf is very high.
On substack:"Sailer’s Law of Mass Shootings is that in incidents with four or more people killed or wounded by gunfire, if more are wounded than killed, the shooter (or often shooters) is probably black. But when more are killed than wounded, the shooter is likely nonblack.
ReplyDeleteOne reason for this is that black mass shooters usually want to escape, so they don’t hang around to finish off the wounded, whereas nonblack mass shooters typically made up their mind ahead of time that they are never coming home.(GRA:Does that make sense?No.)
A corollary to Sailer’s Law is that mass shootings on Saturday night are almost always black-on-black. (An exception might be domestic slaughters.)
