[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 Joeâ€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 Joeâ€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.”
