Retailers Accused Of "Racism" As They Flee Black Neighborhoods In Milwaukee

 Retail Closures in Milwaukee

- Milwaukee is experiencing a retail exodus in minority neighborhoods, labeled as "food deserts. "

- Kroger Co. plans to close at least five Pick 'n Save stores, including one in Metcalfe Park.

- Walgreens will close at least seven locations and CVS is expected to close some stores as well.

- Activists emphasize the need for access to grocery stores in black and brown neighborhoods.

Community Reaction and Concerns

- City officials and residents are concerned about the loss of grocery access.

- Alderwoman Sharlen P. Moore highlights the impact of store closures on residents who rely on walking or public transportation for groceries.

- Residents propose solutions such as forcing companies to keep stores open and potentially boycotting those that are closing.

- Some activists suggest involving the Party Of Socialism And Liberation to exert pressure on businesses.

Crime and Economic Factors

- Milwaukee has seen an overall crime rate dip, except for homicides, but still faces a trend of high retail theft.

- Leftists attribute retail crime to low wages and inflation, though the current inflation is primarily linked to the Biden Administration.

- Neighborhoods impacted by store closures also experience higher crime rates, suggesting that reducing crime could help retain businesses.

Underlying Challenges

- The situation reflects a struggle for progressives who seek economic change without understanding the consequences of their actions.

- Protests in Milwaukee highlight frustration over store closures without addressing the root causes.

- Retail access is not an entitlement; companies need profitability to sustain stores.

- Many grocery outlets exist in the Milwaukee area; complaints stem from the inconvenience of distance rather than absence.

- A shift in behavior within minority communities may improve their business landscape, with reduced crime potentially attracting stores back.
