TTSR Race, Romance, and Reality



During the 1960s, there were a series of riots that forever changed the ghettos because none of the romanticist rioters bothered to consider why they were destroying and looting stores or where they would take their business afterwards.

I doubt any of them knew that as a result, there would be less stores and higher prices managed by disagreeable people, driving customers from the ghettos to higher end neighborhoods to do their shopping.

Before all the rioting, stores could not afford these new business attitudes because there was so much competition and they would not have had to if the romanticism that glorified rebellion had not turned communities against themselves.
