"If they are right, if that is what it takes to get grocery stores, that says a lot about those corporations think of certain communities. It’s a sad commentary on those corporations."
Said Del. Dereck E. Davis (D-Prince George’s), quoted in "In a bid to bring grocers to food deserts, Prince George’s turns to alcohol sales" (WaPo).
The issue is whether to let grocery stores sell beer and wine. They'd be more likely to open if they can sell beer and wine, and there are places in the state (Maryland) where there aren't enough grocery stores, and that's detrimental to the health of the poorer people who live there. But there's also the idea that beer and wine are bad for people (and that food stores selling booze is bad for the business of liquor stores).
The Davis remark is interesting, because it suggests that it might be possible to pressure businesses into opening stores as a way of expressing respect for black people or — to put that negatively — to avert accusations of racism. There's also the idea — is it racist? — that black people need to be protected from making their own choices about which beverages to buy in the store.
