Political movements on both sides of the aisle have placed narrative over common sense and severely wounded the economic outlook of inner-city African Americans for years to come.
This article is from The Editor’s Corner, with insights, short-posts, links, and general ramblings from Editor/Owner Justin Stapley.
America’s inner-cities, already on life support as they faced the COVID shut down, have been curb-stomped and gutted by the riots and violence of recent weeks.
Many of the businesses that have been vandalized will never be able to re-open, leaving inner-cities without jobs or commerce.
The economic outlook of African Americans in the inner-city is taking a tremendous hit. It could take years for inner-city commerce to recover from 2020, if it ever can, only compounding the serial poverty of the African American community.
The African American community has taken a one-two punch from America’s political interests.
They’ve taken a left hook from a President who failed to take seriously the threat of COVID. Now, they’ve taken an upper-cut from progressive virtue signallers who have failed to condemn violence and vandalism amid the unrest of recent weeks.
