Guest Post by The Zman
Queenie has an afro the size of a beach ball. It’s more like a head full of soft, fuzzy springs that wave back and forth as she moves. She also has an ass the size of a small car, which she manages to stuff into skin tight jeans. It’s not a pleasant image in the abstract, but her big smile and sunny, black lady disposition makes it work. People like Queenie. Even when she is bossy, which is most of the time, it is impossible to be mad at her, because she fills a necessary role in the only way possible.

It’s why she is the assistant store manager down at the market. This is the ghetto market where all of the help is black and most of the customers are black and Hispanic. There are some old honkies who never moved away that still come into the store, but that’s during the day when it is safe. The rest of the time the store is what one has come to expect from an urban ghetto. In order to keep libertarianism from breaking out, the store needs a strong authority figure keeping order. That’s Queenie. She takes no guff from anyone.
The two big challenges for a business in the ghetto are getting decent workers and keeping the customers from stealing everything. Often times, the employees will help the customers steal so there is a dynamic to the challenges. Queenie is able to run herd on the boys and girls hired to stock shelves and run the registers, because she has no illusions about them. They are knuckleheads, who have to be watched all the times, because to do otherwise means they will be knuckleheads.
That’s the thing with young underclass blacks. It is not that all of them are prone to crime and trouble making. It’s that they have so few good examples. Hardly anyone is around to impose discipline, so the worst habits become normal. A black teen working at the market is not getting respect from his peers. He will get status by letting them steal some stuff from the freezer case. In other words, the bad influences far outnumber the positive influences. The ghetto is nothing but temptation. It’s why so many get into trouble.
That’s not gloss over the biological realities of the underclass. High time preference, poor impulse control and a high propensity for violence are all biological factors that are common in the under-class. There are exceptions, just as there are children born with significantly higher IQ’s than their parents. Nature is a roll of the dice, but the math is immutable. Most of the people in the under class are there because that’s their nature and all the nurture in the world is not going to over come it.
Anyway, it has been an ugly spring, but it is now warm enough for the locals to get outside and do outside things. Unlike in suburbia, Memorial Day is not about cookouts and family get togethers. The Hispanics will have a party on Sunday night because they are not going to work on Monday. For the blacks, it just means a change in the normal rhythms of life. The market has weird hours. Some businesses are closed., The liquor store is open on Sunday. Otherwise, it is just another weekend.
On this day, I’m picking up a few items I forgot to get on my normal trip to the market. I see Queenie in an animated discussion with two garbage bags. Donald Trump has decided to import unlimited numbers of Muslims and they have to go somewhere. That means dumping them into the broken down cities and towns, often with a Federal check attached, so the local politicians don’t squawk about it. The greatest human experiment in history is taking place. Low-IQ Muslims are being dumped into urban American ghettos.
Queenie was built for running herd on the black workers, keeping an eye on the customers of all races and interfacing with the white world that could use many more like her. She is not built for talking to a black Grimace that cannot even use non-verbal cues to help bridge the language barrier. She has the exasperated black lady look when she spots me and waves me over to help figure out what the trash bag is saying. That’s the thing with blacks. They accept human bio-diversity at the visceral level.
A swarthy looking male shows up, probably alarmed that a white man was now standing near his garbage bags. His English is useless, but I manage to figure out what they want is to wire money somewhere. This is one of those strange underground markets our politicians don’t understand. Our banks make money helping migrants and illegals send money home. Most convenience stores in this area have a Western Union machine so the illegal Mexican laborers can send money back home without having a bank account or ID.
After the garbage bags leave, I chit-chat with Queenie for a few minutes. She makes the point that she has no idea how to deal with these new people. She also makes the point that she thinks the garbage bags deserve no help or respect. It’s not their customs that offend her, I suspect. It’s their non-person-hood that’s the trouble. Whatever you think about blacks or black America, people like Queenie have a purpose in life, a reason to get up in the morning. To her, those trash bags are just sacks of nothing.
On my way out of the ghetto toward home, I thought about how things will unfold over the coming decades. Black America is matriarchal. How that is going to work with highly patriarchal Muslims migrants is going to be interesting. Throw in the clannishness of the Muslims being imported by Donald Trump, and it looks like a powder keg. Then again, Islam thrives where hope is thin on the ground so maybe the result is the Islamification of the ghetto. I can’t imagine Queenie in a burka, but I never imagined a burka in the ghetto.
The story has several chuckle worthy images. Garbage bags is almost laugh out loud worthy to a gal who used to walk the streets of Riyadh with AWACS crewmen with an abaya draped over my shoulders.
I call them “walking patio umbrellas”…lol
Zman says:

Another gratuitous dig on the Libertarians. What’s new?
The Zman is right about one thing (though he doesn’t realize it).
It’s certainly true that a “strong authority figure,” a.k.a. The State, is needed to keep an order of real freedom and liberty “from breaking out.”
We can’t have that!
This guy is a real putz.
Donald Trump is importing muslims? That’s news to me.
He sure is. There has been no slowing down of the rate of migrant imports. All the resettlement organizations are thrilled with his new budget too, it actually gives them 100 mil more than they were expecting. They are a little disappointed that we are ‘only’ taking in 50k more migrants under this budget, when they are asking for 75k, but the program is moving along under trump just like it was under Obama. Republican congress and senate, trump in the White House, and an alleged conservative majority on the Supreme Court, and we are STILL importing 50k new MENA Muslims a year.
The best part is, despite the fact that there are Christian, Jewish, Druze, and Shia Muslims that are being persecuted by various Sunni Muslims terrorist groups, the overwhelming majority of our new neighbors are Sunni Muslims, the same sect of Islam as ISIS et al.
I’ve searched for the correct answer – and there isn’t ONE correct answer… There are, however, several half answers. Best half answer I can find, and I believe it is where the misinformation originated [misinformation? fake news!] is from the nytimes, here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/26/us/politics/united-states-refugees-trump.html?_r=2
Sure there was an e-mail sent by Jennifer Smith – something about “bring as many in as possible” but even that IS limited to some order, so as much as it may not be fake news, it isn’t an accurate specified number, either [I’ll read it again, though]. The other part of the order is, of course, sourced anonymously – so, FAKE NEWS! Read the whole thing – it says LESS refugees!!!
President Trump IS NOT bringing in more refugees; he is trying to curtail this mess but his hands are tied by some activist judges [o’zero appointees] and thus his EO has not been implemented to erase o’zero’s EO.
No he isn’t, really. But, unfortunately he is. See my response to Gator, below, please.
I find it so incredibly frustrating that everyone jumps on bits and parts of news and concludes that our new President isn’t keeping his campaign promises. Just like the “he’s not building the wall” is absolutely false [fake news!], because people believed the talking points pushed by msm / lsm, that became the narrative and it was swallowed right up! If, instead, they had actually watched Mick Mulvaney’s press conference about the CR budget, they would have learned differently – the wall IS being built, but like Rome, won’t be built overnight.
President Trump is doing his utmost best to keep his promises to us – my gosh, he’s only been in office for four short months and look at all he has accomplished so far!!! – but, unfortunately not only is he “swimming up a stream” fighting the opposition party [the democRATS], but he’s also having to fight with his own party [yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, the GOP isn’t really his / our own party, they are part and parcel of the uniparty – led by the democRATS], AND fight the press, too!
If President Trump cured cancer, personally build homes and provided the interior furnishings for all the homeless in the US, provided jobs for every unemployed person who wants one [too many don’t want jibs – they just was $$$ they do NOT have to work for], solved the healthcare “crisis” [there never was a healthcare crisis! o’zero care was implemented to get us to “their” ultimate goal of government controlled healthcare], ended droughts where there are water shortages or stopped floods where water levels are too high, and was able to give us a world of peace forever after where everyone happily joined hands singing Kumbaya, it would NOT be enough! It would be reported so negatively that you’d think instead of the aforementioned the complete opposite had taken place. There ARE trillions and trillions of dollars at stake and a “NWO” that, no matter what, MUST absolutely come to fruition! It is going to be a fight all the way for President Trump no matter what he does, and none of it will EVER be positively reported on. Nor will anything he does ever be right in the eyes of the democRATS or the uniparty cabal. The last thing President Trump needs is for those of us who support / supported him to turn our backs on him! Please continue to support the man and do what you can to stop “them” from beating us up and wearing us down – that is exactly what “they” want, and “they” will stop at nothing to achieve that goal.
hello,
we are being over-run by African and ME types
because there is profit in them there transactions.
Also, the illiterate imported are less than the doctors,
IT people, and their extended families brought in
legally. Special visas and all that, you know.
The ghettos? Implosions and explosions will occur.
Suzanna, out here in these here hills where I live, we are seeing an increase in meth-related crimes amongst the young people. You seeing that in your neck of the northern woodlands?
Meth has long been a problem in the Mormon community as well, although outside Utah it is little publicized. Mormon wives are supposed to do it all; raise kids, run the household, cook, clean, chauffeur, and be a sexpot on top of it all (Utah is the plastic surgery state). Meth brings energy (sort of) to do all these things, and Mormon housewives were dipping into the stuff long before there was a national epidemic.
Now its just sad; I think most Mormon housewives have figured out that meth is a downhill slope, and the children and minorities have yet to figure it out, so they are keeping the epidemic going.
Drug dealers and particularly makers deserve no sympathy.
thanks for the update… I had no idea. Am a bit of a rube to the dope business, having a lifetime of military/government work behind.
There’s long been a nexus of Islam and American blacks. Malcolm X, Farrakhan, etc. There’s a natural inclination to turn away from the “white man’s religion” to what they think is the black man’s religion – ignorant of the fact that there are more Christians in Africa (including all of North Africa) than there are muslims. God forbid the newly arriving Muslims Islamify more black Americans. Muslims, on the whole, are a dour lot. They needed the forced conversions, since few would otherwise join a religion that’s so obviously a drag.
@Iska Waran:
The Arab world is incredibly racist. They don’t see black Africans as equivalent to them.
Arab Muslims look down upon Muslims that aren’t Arabs. Whether the person is Indian, Bangladeshi, Indonesian or Black African; Arab Muslims are covertly racist towards all non-Arab Muslims.
It can be argued that Arab Muslims are even more racist than the southern white plantation owners were 200 years ago.
That’s good news, I guess. The Somalis and black Americans don’t much like each other, either.
Yup, just the south.

It’s sort of a caste system. The gulf state Sunni Muslim Arabs sit at the top of it. Over there, American and European service personnel are treated 1 step below them. I was never treated badly, most of them were always polite to me, as I was to them. Below us (way below) are the non Arab Muslims, mostly black African or pakis. Then come the Shia Arab muslims, although some do put them all the way at the bottom, because they are viewed as apostates. Then, way below them, almost treated as slaves, are the non Muslim workers they import from Bangladesh, India, Philippines, etc to do everything that requires labor. These people get treated like absolute dog shit, it’s pretty sad.
Why not? They were the last die-hard holdouts practicing slavery up to the 1970s (and rumored in Saudi to this day. Ever hear about that prince who strangled his manservant to death in a london elevator?), but you don’t hear that from their libtard apologists.
Slavery is still very much alive and thriving in quite a few countries “over there.” Or, at least it was up until 2010. We lived in Saudi from 2002 until 2010, and it was horrific the way the imported workers were treated. I saw it in Saudi, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, parts of Egypt, Jordan… They don’t actually call it slavery. Slavery has been abolished! But when you go to one of those countries as a “guest” [“guest” – ha! anything BUT “guest”] worker from some other third-world country, you are promised something very, very different than what you actually receive! For those imported workers, they can expect to have their passports or papers held by their employers / sponsors. They won’t be allowed to travel freely. And, many of them will receive a whole lot less salary than what they were promised – many will go unpaid; there is nothing they can do about that, either. Living quarters will be horrendous, the hours will be very, very long – six days a week – many will work seven days. Regardless of your religion – you WILL be expected to practice certain customs / rules! If it is ramadan, you will not be allowed to eat or drink anything [no water, no chewing gum, even! in Saudi and Bahrain, anyway – and no smoking, either] from sun up to sun down [it is between 110 and 120 degrees almost every day for four or five months of the year – but don’t worry – it’s a “dry” heat, so it really is different, and you get used to it], you will be expected to pray at prayer time, etc. Just hope that you are not a housemaid, there… They probably have it worse than many other workers, although the laborers have it pretty bad, too. A lot of housemaids are horribly mistreated. Just google it. And laborers? They’re a dime a dozen. If a handful are injured or killed on a job site, it’s no big deal. There are plenty more waiting in line to take their place. There is no such thing as OSHA or workers’ compensation, either. So, should you be unfortunate enough to lose an arm or leg at some construction site, after YOU pay for your medical treatment [and you won’t leave one of those countries until that bill is paid – you’ll be put in jail, first], then you better hope you have the funds to go home or that your family can somehow afford your ticket home, because you are no longer necessary, there, and you’ll be immediately deported.
Perhaps conditions have changed in the six r seven years since we left, but I doubt it. Those countries depend on foreign workers. The joke in Saudi used to be that if we all just up and left – the Americans, Canadians, British, Australians – and, of course, all of the imported workers from the third world countries – it would come to a complete halt! Saudi’s would have to go back to living in tents and riding camels. There’d be no one to build the homes, apartment and office buildings, and there’d be no one to repair their Expeditions, Suburbans, Tahoes, BMWs or Mercedes. There’d be no air conditioning repairmen, no house cleaners, or cooks… It’d all come to a halt – full stop.
I find it ironic that so many African-Americans in the US convert to islam. If they had any idea how they’d be treated over there – in one of those countries, they would convert to any other religion BUT islam [or wouldn’t convert at all!]. Someone here said it was still a caste system over there, and it is in some respects: The darker your skin, the less respect you get – the further down the proverbial ladder you will be. As white Americans, we were treated with the utmost respect, and were not expected to have to adhere to the rules so strictly, thankfully. However, as a woman there, I was still not allowed to drive [off of the compound we lived in], and I had to wear a black abeya [again, if I left our compound] – I actually got chased through the Rashid mall by the muttawa for NOT wearing an abeya, a couple months after we first got there. I had been told that as long as I was fully covered, I would not have to wear one – that was a lie. At the time, I’d not learned any Arabic so I didn’t realize the group of men following me and yelling at me were actually targeting me… It was scary and funny at the time – mostly scary! I bought an abeya that morning – right then and there…
Turning away from Christianity to islam by black Americans is kind of comical, actually. They’re rejecting the religion of those who bought African slaves and buying into the religion of the ones who sold African slaves. Christian Europe and the Americas ended chattel slavery, but the islamic middle east still sells slaves from Africa to willing buyers throughout Asia.
Malcolm X was an idiot and his survivors are fucking retards.
Don’t know what city you are referencing but in most American cities finding even an ‘off brand’ supermarket in the ghetto is rare. About the only people willing to try and do business in these ‘neighborhoods’ are Muslim immigrants operating rip off convenience stores. They have a hard time making money so they resort to various frauds to stay open at least until the ‘proprietor’ is shot to death during a robbery.
In my Florida county an effort was made to bring a supermarket to the ‘hood’. I was surprised to learn there is even a Federal program that subsidizes builders willing to construct a strip type mall to accomodate this. The only company the builder could find willing to commit to opening a store in the planned development was a second rate outfit called Save on or Save more Markets. The big national grocers wanted no part of it. Even Save On pulled out once they got a look at the demographics of the ‘community’ and the problem you point out of finding reliable employees to staff a store.

I run into this misinformation all the time in my AO. Please note: The people running these establishments are not Muslim!
They are Indian Sikh’s, and the Muslims hate them. Please get informed.
Your ‘informed’ opinion is simply wrong or based on ‘The Simpsons’ cartoon character Apu. I grew up in San Francisco where corner groceries ( of which there are many even in affluent areas as most of that city now is) were all Chinese owned 50 years ago. Today they are almost all owned by Arab Muslims, the Chinese having moved on to bigger and better things.
I can tell the difference between a Sikh and an Arab but I wonder if you can. In Buffalo, New York, e.g. Arab Muslims( mostly Yemeni) operate 160 small markets.
http://buffalonews.com/2014/04/12/yemeni-entrepreneurs-are-thriving-on-the-east-side/
The same is true in Baltimore. I know this because I was contacted by an Arab proprietor after two store owners in my city were shot to death in robberies. He told me 19 Arabs had been shot in that city working in these markets. I see the same in virtually every US city. It is Arabs not Hindus who run the vast majority of these ghetto stores. Now if you are talking about the motel business you will find your Hindus but ghetto stores no, turban clad Sikhs are a rarity.
unit472 says”
“or based on ‘The Simpsons’ cartoon character Apu.”
I have no idea what that means, but if you are a maven of the Simpsons, I know what level of intelligence I’m dealing with here.
You cite one story out of Buffalo as Arab groceries fact. But that is an outlier in the country.
In my neck of the woods, outside of Detroit (Islamic ground zero), the shops are Sikh owned!
“I see the same in virtually every US city.”
Really? Well, you must be a traveling man Unit. What is it that you do that allows you to see “virtually every US city”?
According to you, you live in Florida.
How many Arab “ghetto” groceries are there around you?
I’ll bet none, because what you call “Arab” is actually Indian.
I run into this all the time: Ignorant fucks who think the local ghetto market is run by Arabs because they look like Arabs!
BTW: Sikhs are not Hindus. Your ignorance is really showing now!!!
Yes. Sikhs are not Hindus. Sikhs tend to be very hard working people. Very family oriented as well. Very defensive of their property to. If I have to live next to a swarthy foreigner, I will take Sikh over any other ethnic group I’ve encountered. Would have no problem walking next door before going out of town and letting them know my house will be empty for a week or so and asking them to keep an eye on it. It’s part of their culture.

EXACTLY. I know a number of Sikhs. Honorable is an understatement.
I love Sikhs. Do not mess with a Sikh. They are ALL armed. Every single male. They claim the knives are ceremonial, of course. Hardly.

What a shame. I like Sikhs. If only these patriots could find the right trashbags…
You can take all of those incidents of Sikhs being attacked and they do not even equal the number of Yemeni owned markets in Buffalo, New York. ONE HUNDRED SIXTY in that smallish city alone.
You are quite simply wrong. Even in Michigan Arabs are far more numerous than Sikhs and I bet if you go to the ‘hood’ the proprietors will not be wearing Sikh garb. Here is a bit from Wikipaedia on Arabs in Detroit.
“Assyrians have a near monopoly over Detroit’s grocery stores,[43] Assyrians became Grocers mainly due to White flight as a result of the 1967 Detroit riot which caused many white business owners to leave Detroit. Taking advantage of the situation, Assyrians purchased their businesses at rock bottom prices.[44] In 1972, there were 278 grocery stores in Detroit owned by Assyrians, and In the mid-1990s, Chaldeans owned 1,500 grocery stores in Detroit.[45] In 1962, 120 grocery stores were operated by Chaldeans, and over half of Chaldean households were supported by proceeds from the grocery business…”
LMAO!
Hey Unit.
Some advice for you.
Type drunk… edit sober!
Tallahassee has mega regular muslim stores; I guess even Sikhs don’t like it.
Trashbags. Lol.
A good example of disparity exists in retail establishments in urban areas for good reason. . . .
Compare hardware stores in urban areas and suburban / rural areas.
The suburban / rural hardware store has everything out in the open. Customers are free to pick and choose, examine the merchandise, take it to the cashier and purchase their products. Help is readily available.
The urban hardware store has everything behind Plexiglas. One cannot even purchase a twenty-five cent plumbing fitting without having to ask for it. The employees are safely sequestered behind Plexiglas and may be unwilling to venture beyond their safety barriers. Quite often, a security guard is posted at the door to “inspect” purchases and act as a deterrent to “shoplifting”.
On a personal note, my local (rural) hardware store experienced a power outage. The proprietor of the store gave incoming customers flashlights so that they could shop while power was being restored. Try doing that in an urban hardware store. Both flashlights and merchandise would be picked clean . . .
I notice my local WalMart has recently put all the ladies’ popular skin care products under lock and key. To get a jar of face cream now requires hunting down an employee to provide access.
The same store is always out of makeup products. I figured out a while ago it had to be due to rampant shoplifting. I expect a wand of mascara will soon require keys too.
Try buying a razor, condoms, or sex jelly…
I feel ya’lls pain. Rural areas are not even safe unless they are farther from an Urban Jungle than a stolen car can go on whatever gas was in it.
I call them Fucking Ragheads. The ones in the Gulf raghead attire of all black with eye holes, I call Ninjas. The Turkish ones in the head-to-toe trenchcoats and tablecloths I call Hobgoblins. I also call them Weirdbeards, camel jockies, camel fuckers, and I forget what else. Trashbag sounds like a good one to me.
If I were to bet, I would say Hindis would be the most numerous small business owners. Sikhs as a % of their population.
Another common denominator among retail businesses owned by “foreigners” is their propensity to “game (cheat) the system”. Almost every foreign-owned business will redeem “food stamps” (now EBT cards) for 50 cents on the dollar. Most of the time, they are never caught; if they are, they hide behind their “language barrier”, and quite often get away with it, with only a “slap on the wrist”.
A white business owner doing the same thing will “have the book thrown at him”…
