I was just gonna say that this has to be an urban segregation thing. Our Walmarts where I am at are mostly in predominately white neighborhoods. We don't have anything really behind glass except tobacco. Meanwhile our PoC dominant neighborhoods have barred windows on their gas stations and liquor stores. These are also coincidentally the most underfunded neighborhoods. Yet our Walmarts are by half a million dollar homes. It's by design but I think that is preaching to the choir. Solidarity for my PoC comrades.:(
I wasn't even really aware of this here until I joined in the marches after George Floyd was murdered. Started working a bit more with our local PoC figures and it became an eye opener. I try to help where I can with drives and awareness but with being vaguely involved with local politics, when funding for these areas get brought up it always falls in dead ears. They tried to get money for a park and cleaner water but we really needed a new baseball stadium instead, ya know?
