Now, if you're like me, you are so tired, so exhausted, so furious with the race card being played
0:29
for everything. Even when things don't make sense and blatantly don't make sense
0:39
the race card is played. Now, Iona Presley did exactly that in his speech before Congress
0:46
See, her contention, her anger, was that Walgreens was moving out of certain
0:52
neighborhoods. Now, these neighborhoods tend to be black and brown. And the reason
0:57
that Walgreens gave, and I'll tell you what, this is an insane reason. And the Walgreens should be ashamed of themselves
1:04
The reason Walgreens gave is they were tired of getting robbed. Now I don know There a few answers to this conundrum One let not defund the police and let have them do their jobs in these communities That one answer
1:22
Another answer might be, let's just have Walgreens and all these businesses stay in these areas
1:30
and continue to get robbed and continue to lose money because, hey, they don't want to be called racist
1:36
That's an option. Or, and hear me out on this, this is a crazy idea
1:40
stop stealing maybe if you stop stealing the businesses will stay I know this is crazy
1:51
this is a crazy concept folks but just maybe just perhaps if you go into a store guys
2:02
what I'm going to say to you is going to be controversial and crazy but I want you to hear me
2:07
and then I want you to give me your opinions on it after this video But this might just be crazy enough to work
2:13
You hear me out. Hear the whole thing first before you decide
2:16
You go into a store, get your little basket or your little shopping cart, whatever you get
2:22
And you put items into this thing. Then and here the key you go to the checkout counter and pay for the items Then the store makes a profit
2:39
and then they use that profit to hire other people in the community
2:44
to give them gainful employment so that they may also contribute to the economy
2:50
Now, a side effect of this might be that the neighborhood starts to look better
2:56
and people start to make more money and it revitalizes the neighborhood and communities grow and generational
3:03
wealth is built and then people start their own businesses. Wacko concept I know, but I think, I think this just might be crazy enough to work
3:13
Now, that's me. You know, look, don't go by me. I may be wrong on this, but I feel that it has merit
3:23
So I want you to listen in Ms. Presley's speech, Representative Presley's speech, and then I want you to give me your opinion on it
3:30
So please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe. Again, it really helps us out
3:36
And I want to know what you think about my idea. I know it's crazy, but I want to know what you think about it
3:40
So let's listen to her speech. I'm Carmine Zabia 4 Explain America
3:44
We love you guys God bless you Take care everybody Mr Speaker Walgreens is planning to close yet another pharmacy in the Massachusetts 7th this time on Warren Street in Roxbury a community that is 85 black and Latino
3:59
This closure is a part of a larger trend of abandoning low-income communities like the previous
4:04
closures in Matapan and Hyde Park, both in the Massachusetts 7th. When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they disrupt the entire community and they take with
4:14
them, baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers, life-saving medications, and of course, jobs
4:21
These closures are not arbitrary and they are not innocent. They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination
4:29
That is why I joined with Senator Markey and Warren to demand answers from Walgreens CEO
4:34
Why was there no community input, no adequate notice to customers, and no transition
4:39
resources to prevent gaps in health care? Shame on you, Walgreens. Having a website with talking points about health equity and underserved communities is not enough
4:49
Walgreens is a multi-billion dollar corporation that needs to put their money where their mouth is
4:55
and stop divesting from black and brown communities
