I have been asked my opinion about there being a fast food conspiracy against poor and low-income blacks because of so many fast food restaurants being on every other street corner in the Black community.

Well, I do have an opinion. It is my opinion that there is no deliberate conspiracy, fast food, or otherwise against poor and low-income blacks. The only conspiracy against poor and low-income blacks is their own conspiracy against themselves to remain ignorant and thus to remain impoverished, targetable, exploitable, and expendable in the eyes of corporations and government agencies (including law enforcement agencies).

By remaining ignorant, poor and low-income blacks are conspiring against themselves.

The only reason why people of any race or ethnicity in the United States are poor and remain poor is due to their ignorance and their choice, perhaps unconscious, to remain ignorant. Believe it or not, ignorance is a choice!

U.S. fast food corporations are not conspiring against the health of poor and low-income blacks or really anyone else for that matter. Fast food corporations have a business duty and an agenda to remain in business and to make as much profit as possible and corporations will always prey on the weakest individuals of society. Period! It has been established that corporations have the nature of a psychopath (see the DVD “The Corporation”) so corporations are simply doing what they do and must do to stay in business (survive). It’s not personal! It is simply business!

It’s all about profits! Profit is the lifeblood of any business.

Is it McDonald’s fault that poor Blacks and low-income Blacks visit their restaurant and buy and eat their food? I hate to call it food because food naturally decomposes and biodegrade and there is too much evidence in existence that shows that the stuff McDonald’s sells and calls food does not even spoil, decompose, and degrade.

McDonald’s does not put a gun to the head of poor and low-income people and tell them to eat their crap.

The only gun to the head of poor blacks and low-income blacks that I can think of would be the gun of poverty consciousness. Poor people, regardless of race or ethnicity, eat cheap. Period! Most fast food restaurants sell cheap food and this is the real reason why poor and low-income blacks eat so much fast food. Economics!

The second reason poor blacks and low income blacks eat so much fast food is because it tastes good to them.

The third reason is because they have an emotional attachment to the food crap and most of the adults who purchase and eat this crap ate it as children, adolescents, and teens and now that they are grown and perhaps have children, they are doing the same things their parent or parents did to them. It’s a vicious cycle perpetuated through grand ignorance and traditional paralysis. Ignorance and traditionalism are major Achilles heels of black people in the United States.

Most choose to remain ignorant and to continue to embrace traditions that may serve no useful purpose or promote the advancement of the individual or race. Even if a thing is insalubrious, if it is a tradition, it will be acknowledged and practiced by the elders and passed down to future generations, thus perpetuating the vicious cycle.

Now while fast food may appear to taste good to people who eat it, it must be understood that taste is not the criterion for what is healthy.

If I put some chemicals in some dog shit and made it taste good, would it be healthy to eat? Perhaps a little too graphic, but I think you get my point! What tastes good is not always good to eat.

Poor blacks and low-income Blacks cannot expect for the fast food cartel consisting of McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Popeye’s, Wendy’s, Carl’s Jr., In N’ Out, and Rally’s to name a few of the members, to just shut down shop and move out of the Hood simply due to goodwill purposes and to help out weak-willed Black people who can’t control what they put in their mouths.

Fast food restaurants could easily be forced out of the black community by the members of the communities simply refusing to buy and eating the crap sold by these fast food cartel members. Businesses are hurt by their cut off of profit. If fast food restaurants are so powerful and financially solvent and wealthy, whom can you blame but the customers?

There are so many fast food restaurants in poor and low-income communities, especially black communities, because the people in these communities can afford to purchase the food due to the food’s cheap price. This is why you see and hear so much about dollar menus today, things (cheap food) you can purchase to eat that cost less than a dollar. Dollar menus are clearly going to appeal to poor people. Poor people allow economics (external economics) to dictate how they live and what they will eat.

You will find the most unhealthy and disease-riddled people in the United States in communities where there is a saturation of fast food restaurants. Fast food is 100% crap! Obesity is epidemic in the black community for a reason. We can trace obesity rates in America in direct proportion to the increase of fast food establishments popping up into existence, and especially in the black community.

You see, there’s no resistance to things insalubrious to black folk in the black community. That’s why you always see and hear about new liquor stores and fast food restaurants opening up there. There’s no resistance! The majority of them are very consumerist people. Merchants know that poor people are very loyal customers. No matter how poor they may be or claim to be, they will somehow find the money to support their unhealthy habits. Many will claim to be broke but some how and some way they will find a way to get some money into their hands to buy their alcohol, to buy their cigarettes, to buy their Lotto (lottery) tickets, and every other thing they could really do without.

Another thing I have noticed about the black community is that many establishments there, especially fast food establishments, stay open very late and some stay open 24-hours. This is predominantly the scene and case in the black community with a few exceptions in white and Latino or Hispanic communities.

To end any so-called or alleged fast food conspiracy against poor and low-income black people or the health of poor and low-income black people, all these people would have to do is simply stop patronizing these fast food establishments which would hurt their profits and in little time these establishments would have to shut their doors and seek to set up shop somewhere else. It’s really that simple!
