I don't understand the whole protest and force the dudes to sell thing.

If they want to send an economic message why not just to go the next gas station a block away and spend money there? Why waste the time to spend 2 months shutting down the one they don't like that someone else is just gonna buy and operate the same way?

Economists are still writing theories about black economics, so no one knows for sure.

I don't know what sort of name "Rahim Sivji" is but I've dealt with plenty of folks in gas stations and food stations with likely similar names as well as in business in general and they can be some real assholes particularly to try to sell to. Talking to too many of them too long in a short period of time can give me a headache too. It wouldn't surprise me at all if blacks were treated poorly at his store just for being black. That's a fight I'm not taking sides on

You have to learn to comply and get woke. This is more about punishment for wrongthink.

This is the definition of blackmail, or racheteering.

Hopefully the cops can shoot another hoodlum there and BLM will burn it down.

If the store treats blacks poorly, they can simply stop shopping at the store. A protesting boycott where the store may be sold to the organizer of the boycott is extortion. I hope someone organizes a GoFundMe for the store owner so that he could destroy the store rather than sell it.

I'm sure you're right it happens all the time. The point though is that any sane, rational thinking, well adjusted adult would say "man frick that place, I'll take my business elsewhere" and then move on with their life. Not stand around protesting 2 months forcing the owner (not even the racist in question that was already fired) to close his business.

That's the problem with the disease of the far left. It's not enough to just accept that life is screwy sometimes and move on, they have to punish anyone in their path and whine and cry until they get their way at any and all cost whatsoever. I don't like this gas station employee so I'm getting the store closed. I don't like this statue so I'm getting it torn down. I don't like this TV episode so I'm getting it banned. And on and on and on. When will it end?

I wonder if Rahim tried some old school economics...

reduce prices of:

40oz beers
kools
half price scratch offs

boycott would have ended in a day.

Nah, selling drugs has been going on for years. Simple supply and demand still applies.
