It’s just worth pointing out that these “Food Deserts” are because businesses are being robbed blind, so they leave that lawless area. No one is going to operate a grocery store to lose money to theft. And with the Demonrat leadership making sure petty theft isn’t prosecuted, why spend the money on loss protection to have the government do absolutely nothing? But then that’s what Demonrats do, cause the problems and then try to blame it on racism and their political adversaries by endlessly lying about it. The best you can do is leave these blue areas for red ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Tyler Durden<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having worn out the use of ‘Hitler’ over the last decade, the liberal media is searching for its next sensationalist descriptor for an otherwise innocuous “injustice” deserving of unlimited taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This go-round, the media is replacing their loaded “food desert” term with “food apartheid”. Because, hey, when there isn’t a World War II or full blown civil rights style crisis on the media’s hands to all them to argue their ideologies…why not just invent one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Associated Press periodically tweaks its style guide\u2014often to make its left\u2011wing activism more subtle. Progressive activists do the same, inventing controversies out of thin air. Where we once spoke of \u201cfood deserts,\u201d the Radical Left now insists on \u201cfood apartheid\u201d\u2014and expects us to pretend this contrived concept is happening in Seattle,” Jason Rantz of 770 KTTH argues<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rantz points out<\/a> in an article out this morning that Seattle Times columnist Naomi Ishisaka pushes the idea that racism is behind the lack of quality grocery stores in areas like south Seattle<\/strong><\/em> compared to whiter neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile \u2018food desert\u2019 might lead people to think there\u2019s something inevitable… \u2018food apartheid\u2019 argues that these inequities are the result of intentional choices, and can be changed,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to her unwavering BLM alignment, Ishisaka sees racism in every disparity. Fewer stores in Black neighborhoods? \u201cThese inequities… contribute to health disparities that fall along racial and socio-economic lines,\u201d she claims\u2014suggesting a broad, selective conspiracy that oddly excludes Asians and poor whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naomi Ishisaka blames \u201cpolicies such as redlining and urban renewal\u201d for underinvestment in Black neighborhoods\u2014but sidesteps the more obvious factor: crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She even concedes that near her Rainier Beach home, \u201cwe have two Safeways, the closest of which has been the site of numerous incidents of gun violence,\u201d unwittingly highlighting the real deterrent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grocery stores operate on thin margins and avoid areas where safety is a liability. That basic economic reality seems lost on Ishisaka, blinded by ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irony is rich: the same activists crying \u201cfood apartheid\u201d also chant \u201cACAB,\u201d oppose policing, and undermine public safety\u2014then wonder why businesses won\u2019t invest, Rantz says<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
