People have brought out the "Don't burn down your own neighborhoods" routine from all sides, but i don't see how the phrase applies to destroying the remotely owned corporate property of the very people whose thick skulls you're trying to get your message through in the first place.
Apparently, there are conflicting definitions of "neighborhood" at play. I haven't heard anything about houses. Only businesses. Businesses are a part of my neighborhood, not its defining quality. I'm not saying that getting shot at isn't a possibility in my particular neighborhood, cops or no, but I do expect to walk to the store and back without attracting lethal attention from various municipal employees.
It almost seems cruel to suggest to black people that they should consider places where they are specifically and peculiarly subject to the kinds of institutional actions that people who aren't enjoy the liberty of referring to as "Orwellian" on a regular basis their neighborhoods?
