(14,530 posts)The reason the prices are cheaper is because the closer you get for the ocean, the higher cost of housing. The question should not be (as you implied) why are these neighborhoods getting cheaper meats, but why are stores in higher income neighborhoods gouging you. Make no mistake they are earning a profit in both areas, if they weren't they would shut down. That is the nature of capitalism.
As for your perceived harassment. I suggested to a sister to go to a new wing place for lunch. When we went in, we were the only white people there. She mentioned to me that she felt uncomfortable being the only white person. My reply to her was...Now you know how a black person feels when they are the only black person in a restaurant.
Now I have traveled all through the US and have never seen, nor been the victim of harassment or assault in a grocery store. So really please define what you call harassment. Because what I have experienced is a black person was ahead of me at a deli counter, the deli person turned to me and asked what I wanted, totally ignoring the black lady. Now I spoke up and said she is in front of me.
check your privilege.
