Following 66 days of non-stop demonstrations outside the Exxon gas station off Flat Shoals Rd, organizer Joe Jones is pleased that the owner is planning to sell. “We sent a clear message that we will no longer tolerate disrespect,” Jones said.


quote:

Protests started in mid-October after a clerk at the store was caught on camera saying, “I don’t give a [expletive] about the Black neighborhood.” The store’s owner, Rahim Sivji, apologized and parted ways with the clerk. However, Jones said they continued to protest due to claims of racism and abusive behavior customers reportedly experienced over the years.


quote:

“We have to understand our power, the power of dollar, the power of Black economics and we have to be intentional with our spending,” Jones said. “It is a privilege to get Black dollars.”

This week, Sivji and Jones signed a memorandum of understanding in which Sivji agreed to sell the store, with an option for Jones to buy it. As a result, Jones agreed to end demonstrations outside the store while it is on the market.

People don’t realize how strong Hindu nationalism is as well as their lower proclivity for being PC. We will see more of this in the future

I have never once sold anything to a black person. Not that I don’t want to or wouldn’t, I just don’t have to and don’t worry about marketing directly to them.

Breaking: the Atlanta chapter of BLM is planning to sue the state for what they say is a disproportionate distribution of gas stations available in black communities. Unconfirmed sources say that this isn’t the first time the goalposts have been moved. Although one could hope it would be the last, that reality seems to be increasingly unlikely.
