Kind of related - my local target recently started locking things up and carrying fewer items due to shoplifting which is almost exclusively a π thing around here. You can't openly discuss this no no topic. It can only be done in anon situations or behind closed doors with trusted people and euphanisms.
I'm not even sure πs have self awareness regarding this situation (or literally any other actual issue in the black community). This has always been truly bizarre to me. Even when I was really young. Something has always seemed a little off.

What's there to be self-aware of? It's only hurting some corporation, and even then - barely. Who fricking cares, other than shareholders (overwhelmingly mayo boomers) of said corporation? Why would πs give a shit?

OK, let's agree with your POV here. But it doesn't explain similar intra-community responses (or lack thereof) to things like single parent homes, STDs, education, violent crime, financial literacy, actual literacy, homelessness, mental health....I could probably list 40-50 more things fairly easily.
I do like my sexy Indian dude friends theory. It is pretty logical.

Poverty is a response to pretty much all of these. Inter-generational, culturally-engrained poverty especially. It's not specific to burger πs either, the historically impoverished communities share the same exact problems worldwide. Propensity towards all these things is so obviously and directly related to parents' income, that any other explanation is secondary at best.
The only solution is socialism!

I really wish I could agree with you regarding root cause, my friend. I hate the way I feel about this, but much like certain religious tenants I simply don't possess the ability to suspend or conveniently parse my deductive reasoning here.
But if I truly thought this is what it would take....

the culture may be the result of intergenerational poverty. but the culture IS why they can't get out of poverty like other ethnic groups get out of poverty.

That was like two days ago, and it was @Dad, you r-slur. I am a bona-fide Marxist-Leninist, as you can tell by my pfp, profile, flair, and post history (here and on reddit).
Idk, it made someone really mad, so I'm guessing they have some personal stake in it? I doubt anyone is really that concerned about the dividends of anonymous multi-millionaire boomers if they have nothing to gain from it...

You and I were having the conversation. Did he interject with that comment? I guess the purple jannie names blended together for me.

Then the store shuts down because it was owned by franchisees, not the actual corporate brand itself. And after that people complain about there not being enough businesses in predominantly black neighborhoods. Hmmm, really makes you think

Corporations tend to take it out on store employees who are working class. As you are a Marxist, that makes them more deserving of your empathy than the thieving class.
And yes I know the greater issues of how corpos behave, but for simplicity sake I am referring to the surface level repercussions of shoplifting.

That's because in my limited experience of the world the concept of separating a problem from your culture is a very western concept. For every other group any attack on any problem within the community is valued the same as an attack on the community itself. The pro of this is that it unites the group the con is that if a group develops a habit that's literally killing them they are at high risk of ignoring it till the moment they die then blame it all on fate/racism/evil take your pick.

This makes a lot of sense. I hadn't ever thought of it from that western perspective angle.

It's alright I am a third world sexy Indian dude so I get the my people angle, then I use the internet so the western angle is forced onto me. So I get both sides. It can be harder for you when your entire media only caters to your own country or other rich neighbors. That's the con of being no.1, you forget anyone else exists and then one day you are surprised that someone suddenly bussy blasts you.

Itβs not a western thing. Itβs because when someone attacks your group 1) it feels bad so youβre naturally defensive 2) Theyβre often not offering constructive criticism or have your best interests at heart. I doubt theyβre totally oblivious to the situation unless theyβre r-slurred

They're aware of it. They just don't want to talk about it with you because you're an outsider and that would be similar to snitching. It's a combination of strict in-group dynamics and a "frick the system" mentality.
