Do Arab-Owned Convenience Stores Exploit the Black Community?

In this episode of Trap History, we delve into the controversial topic of whether Arab-owned convenience stores exploit the Black community. We explore the history of Arab-owned stores in Black neighborhoods, and the economic and social factors that have led to their proliferation. We also investigate the allegations of exploitation, including price-gouging, poor working conditions, and cultural insensitivity. Through interviews with experts and community members, we aim to shed light on the complex relationship between Arab-owned stores and the Black community. Join us as we tackle this important and timely issue.

And on that note, it would be disrespectful, and literally wrong, to refer to a Korean as Chinese, just as it would be to refer to an Indian as an Arab. I used to have to explain this to people because I had a couple Nigerian friend whom would get asked about their experience in African countries they weren't even from because a lot of Americans seem to only view other cultures continentaly.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire. I live a predominantly Mexican neighborhood and frequent the Arab ran store for over a decade. They have good prices and good products. Every time I’ve seen someone stealing it’s a young or old black male. Just don’t go to them if you feel like they are exploiting you

[@1traphistory]

I posed a question and I also was fair to the store owners by stating the problems that they face also. You say you are Mexican, should I assume you are in a cartel because "every time I've seen someone in a cartel it's a young or old Mexican male?" FYI my uncle in law is an Arab store owner and he's a staple in the black community that he serves. The music video around the @1:15 mark is shot in front of his store because he is like family to those kids.

Why don’t we go to black owned stores? Why aren’t there more black owned stores? That’s the question we should be asking.

It’s crazy that they seem to have no problem thriving in a country that hates minorities but blacks, who have been here for years can’t start or keep our own business or pass on generational wealth like other minorities. We used to own nail shops, barber shops and hair salons but we leave that to other races now. Can we really blame Arabs and Koreans for that?

[@Jameslawz]

As an outsider of American culture and politics, all I see is black people trying to play Basketball all day trying to go for dreams instead of something that's real. You are more interested in clout and social media to get rich rather than sustainable means. You complain too much about white people where other minorities just get on with things even if they've also been discriminated by them and yet they are succeeding where you guys are not. Rapper, Ball player, Entertainment, Caring too much about Hollywood representation when you have enough, Asking for handouts in getting small businesses open, Not getting educated through academics. These are all the things I hear and see as an OUTSIDER of American politics, it's not a good look for African Americans. All I hear is complaining, looting and rioting and not enough hard work and rolling your sleeves up. You guys chase dreams and not realistic goals...but ofc if I were to tell a black person that they will just say "don't tell us how to run our community you don't know what we been through bro."

@Trap History I dont care what they say, it's the actions I worry about. Tulsa, towns turned into lakes.

When we start "acting funny" there will be actions behind it. Let's say we separate. Blacks at the south, whites in the north. Then ut becomes and issue of who will destroy the other first. I don't disagree with you at all. I'm just stating a possible outcome of us uniting and taking care of our own will not go unchallenged. They don't want us to leave lo key, because then, they will have no one to blame and look down on. Let alone how much the economy will crash.

The reason is the wyt people tell these people before they come over here that we are dumb and f***ing us over is the norm in the good ol USA. Setting them up in our neighborhoods is beneficial to them both. Ask yourself this...why have we been here for centuries and can't get franchises as quickly as they do?

I can only speak for myself and my family as everyone else should as well. I have been a store owner for 10+ years in the east side of Buffalo. A predominately African American neighborhood. You don’t have to be a store owner to understand that it’s all about Supply and demand! I have brought fresh produce in just for it to go bad. How much money should I keep investing in a product that no one buys?The profit margins are very small because I cared more about volume rather then selling for the highest price. So once someone steals a couple bags of chips, the whole profit from that rack is almost gone. I still have to pay taxes (NYS has a 40% income rate tax) pay my bills, pay employees. How much are we left with? It takes YEARSSSS for us to see profit. Before you come lecture me on what I’m selling, lecture those that demand these products! I haven’t even mentioned how much credit we give out because we know life can hard and you need someone to help, but that sometimes doesn’t get paid.
