Prove what I said was not true.
1. The store was targeting a small subset of the population. Not only real book readers (as opposed to people who read digital books).
2. The literacy rates for blacks are below the national average. A lot of black culture promotes that becoming educated is whiteness and should be avoided.
3. It is in the democrat party interests to keep blacks uneducated so they don’t know how or won’t get off the plantation. I believe it would be in the interests of our society to have blacks (and all Americans) better educated (not indoctrinated), so I all for blacks reading.
4. I can’t recall the last time I saw a black in a public place reading a book. I actually notice people reading books in public as it’s such a rare occurrence, as opposed to having their nose buried in a phone.
So exactly what racist thing did I post?
My criticism is not with your correct claims about reading. That’s borne out by research.
I see black Americans reading quite a bit. Different areas I suppose.
My criticism is that 1) you were minimizing the attempt to open the bookstore. That’s the American way. Who cares if they cater to a subset of the population? Guess what - that happens all the time. Did the bookstore have a sign that said “Blacks Only”?
And 2) you impugned the bookstore exactly because of who they catered to. Again, who cares? I want small businesses to succeed. I’m disappointed they didn’t.
