So I'm in Dallas visiting the folks. Some of you may be aware that I've had an issue with my MAC - battery swelling/track pad issues and such. So I went to the Galleria, which has the closest Apple store to my location here, and I was struck by just how dark the Galleria has become - they should probably change the name of the Galleria to 'Groid Central.' Of course, it probably didn't help walking through the Grand Lux cafe to get to the main part of the mall, but they were everywhere (my good Bud says they are there for the free air conditioning). Anyway, I went to the Apple store today to retrieve my freshly repaired MAC and the store was mobbed as usual. Other than the majority of the staff, I was one of only 2 or 3 white people in the entire store and just like the Galleria itself, it was populated by customers from all over the world. Vietnamese, various other Asians, East Indians, Pakistanis, groids from Africa, messikans, people from S. America, and, of course, the ever-present American negro, etc.
After 'checking-in,' I was standing there waiting for a staff member to help me and I spotted a extremely pretty, young, slim, blonde woman who was an Apple employee. She looked exasperated and was dealing with a family (?) of jabbering Packis. I caught her eye and she looked at me like she was suffering in Hell. I felt for her.
At any rate, it struck me that a person plucked from almost any developed country in the world and then dropped into this Galleria mixing pot would have absolutely no idea that they were in America. The major cities in America are now so friggin; 'diverse' that it quickly became clear to me that we, as a nation, are damn close to loosing our national identity. This realization hit me like a ton of bricks and was almost vomit-inducing. I know, or rather I believe, that Dallas as a whole is still not like this Galleria representation (or maybe it is and I just don't see it because of where I generally go and the people I associate with in Dallas), but it was a glaring example of how all the corrupt politicians are intentionally destroying our national identity and they are doing it virtually unopposed. Dallas is rapidly becoming a Liberal/Marxist schit-hole and it saddens me to see Dallas transform from a once great city into whatever the Hell it's becoming.
The other thing I noticed was that Dallas is falling apart. This really surprised me as Dallas has a huge excess of wealth. You really would not believe just how many people in this city are obscenely wealthy. After the tornado in October of '19, virtually nothing has been done to repair the damage. My folks' house was hit, as were many others in the area and these private citizens have been rebuilding, while the city has just let things languish, stagnate and decay. There's still temporary traffic lights for f*cks-sake. Fire stations hit by the tornado have been razed and not rebuilt, roads that were once perfectly paved and smooth are full of pot holes, etc. What the Hell are they doing with all our property tax money - spending it on entitlement programs for illegal immigrants???
I'm not sure I could ever live here again. I hate huge cities, but my folks are getting pretty old and I feel like I need to be here to help them. I've been gone for a decade because I felt an obligation to care for and raise my daughter, but now that she's 11, I feel I have an obligation to my folks. I went into my folks bedroom to say goodnight tonight and Mom was almost asleep and I was struck by just how old and frail she looked. She's healthy though, but it saddened me that I've not been here much and that I've missed so much of their latter years. So if not Dallas, I feel I could handle a bit west of Weatherford, which is about an hour away. I'm looking into the options while I'm here...
So the point of all this is that we as Conservative Americans who believe in the Constitution and traditional American values and mores are loosing the battle for our country. As we age and die-off we will be replaced by ignorant Marxists and in short order, the America we once knew and loved will be gone forever. It's not enough to live and let live, they want to destroy us and they are succeeding.

I think you're looking at two things here in the micro. One is negro saturation, which can doom a shopping center and another is foreigner saturation, which can do the same thing. I'll use Kansas City metro as an example. A new mall called The Mall of the Great Plains, opened in 1995. Big...excellent. Most of the stuff you'd want, including a nice Oshman's sporting goods store, which was significant at the time. Almost immediately, it was mobbed by the two aforementioned groups. To me, 1995 wasn't that far back. This mall was brand-new construction in a former cornfield. Wasn't some made-over 50's joint. Today, it's a cornfield again. It made it about twenty years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Mall_of_the_Great_PlainsTo me anyway, the article's portion of what caused the mall's downfall is incomplete. Certainly the move from retail to mail order was a factor but...this area is one of the most affluent in the nation. WHY would people shop at home when they can run down and get something immediately? Why wait at least a week in most cases? Part of this is the aforementioned saturation which wasn't mentioned but IMO was the greatest portion of the mall's downfall.
Black folks will drive for miles to reach what they think is the best shopping area, especially if they think the area is full of snooty whites that need taken down a notch for their racism. The whites just quit going. Regardless of all their bs about reparations and other happy horse shixt, if they have a choice, they simply won't put up with all the ghetto behavior, and that's what you see at any mall.
Same thing with the foreigners. They babble on in their native tongues and their different "cultures" may command them to attack you if you unknowingly give offense, so urban and suburban types vote for all the BLM shixt and illegal immigration backing politicos from the safety of their enclave where they are protected by off-duty poleece at the gates and maybe an AR in the closet that they voted to ban. They simply order the latest gadgets they need from Amazon and let the scum have the malls.
1995 and all that's left was the stand-alone building for Burlington Coat Factory. There it f u c king is...explained.
