[Stay out! black leaders tell Trader Joe’s.] We love our ghetto

Stay out! Black leaders tell Trader Joe’s  in Portland, Oregon. And Trader Joe complied.

Portland, Oregon  kicked off their celebration of Black History Month by kicking a major grocery store chain out of a black neighborhood this week.

City officials had been working with Trader Joe’s for more than a year to convince the grocery store to invest $8 million in a “historically African-American neighborhood.” A high crime neighborhood. The kind of place that First Lady Michelle Obama calls a “food desert” because large grocery stories will not open there.

But Trader Joe’s pulled out, said the Associated Press, after the Portland African American Leadership Forum said it would “Remain opposed to any development in N/NE Portland that does not primarily benefit the Black community.”

It said the grocery-store development would “increase the desirability of the neighborhood,” for “non-oppressed populations.”
