A Day Without an Arab

[Bham1982]

Whenever there is a hue and cry about why we don’t own these gas stations, I am like really??? You want to be in that plexiglass box all day, maybe 12 hours a day?

You do realize that the gas station owners aren't sitting in the plexiglass box, right? They're sleeping soundly in Bloomfield Hills.

These Chaldean entrepeneurs are very successful, and the owners are long past the stage of sweating for every last nickel. Chaldeans came in greatest numbers in the 70's and 80's, and the actual owners are well-established at this point.

The public schools in Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield are both very heavily Chaldean. Those are the families that comprise the Chaldean business owner class.

You make good points. I was thinking more of the "starting from the bottom" aspect of entrepreneurship, relative to these gas stations, and why blacks [[or orthers ) might not be attracted to them, as new business owners.

Btw, your mention of Chaldeans is another reason that the title of the thread may be something of a mispresentation.
