A simple drive across small-town America reveals that MANY smaller towns are or have been almost totally BOARDED UP, and the only store around to purchase anything including food, is the local Dollar General.  Another "Poor Blacks" bullshit story.

For years, the Rev. Donald Perryman wondered why the formerly thriving Black downtown of Toledo, Ohio, couldn't get a grocery store.  His suspicions were confirmed ... in 2020 that the opening of new Dollar General stores drove other companies out of business, deterring potential grocers from investing there. They made great strides when the Toledo City Council passed a moratorium the same year that required new small-box retail stores to apply for a special-use permit.  This month, the city proposed... to construct a food incubation hub that would deliver fresh and healthy foods to local markets and low-income areas such as Dorr Street. Now, his coalition is pushing the city to ban these stores altogether.  Some Black residents and elected officials argue the stores stifle economic growth and job creation, and exacerbate food insecurity. The stores are also disproportionately in areas that are low-income, rural, and Black, which experts say is racist.
