Trader Joe's told Portland to GFY. Trader Joe�s wanted to build a new store in Portland, Oregon. Instead of heading to a tony neighborhood downtown or towards the suburbs, the popular West Coast grocer chose a struggling area of Northeast Portland.
The company selected two acres along Martin Luther King Blvd. that had been vacant for decades. It seemed like the perfect place to create jobs, improve customer options and beautify the neighborhood. City officials, the business community, and residents all seemed thrilled with the plan. Then some community organizers caught wind of it.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Good for Trader Joes. I really like shopping there. Another attempted "shakedown" by "professional blacks" that screwed over the people they claim to "help".

Justice Department will probably find racial discrimination against Trader Joe's and MAKE them build there anyway.

Oregon is about 2% black. Sounds to me like Traders sought out a blacker than average neighborhood. mandated jobs based on race I thought we did away with that years ago. Community organizers have no business dictating corporate decisions.

I like this line...
"But have no fear, Portland. You might not have a new Trader Joe�s, but PAALF promised to hold a �community visioning process� later this month. No word yet if that brainstorming session will offer jobs, affordable housing or Two-Buck Chuck."

The group re-issued demands that the now-cancelled development include affordable housing, mandated jobs based on race, and a small-business slush fund. Instead, the only demand being met is two fallow acres and a lot of anger from the people who actually live nearby. This is hilarious.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Let's see them open a store on MLK Bvd in ..say...Cleveland!
It too would be boarded up in a month. After the tenth break in and armed robbery!

From the comments:
"The bitterness and hate created by the late civil strife has, in my opinion, been obliterated in this state, and would have long since been entirely obliterated, were it not for some unprincipled men who would keep alive the bitterness of the past, and inculcate a hatred between the races, in order that they may aggrandize themselves by office, and its emoluments, to control my people, the effect of which is to degrade them."

Might add that senator Revels was in the US senate in1870.
Race baiting opportunists have had a good run of it.

As the OP mentions, this move by Trader Joes would " create jobs"�.
Something the black community seems to be diametrically opposed to�.
Shocker, that.
