I'm just agreeing with what you're saying in that it has the potential to backfire on the blacks by compelling stores to shut down and move and I don't see any whole foods eager to have a business in these areas.

I'm just afraid that if there are zero businesses in ghettos you will either see more blacks venturing out of their liberal utopia or you will see a greater push from liberals to spend tax money to build government food stores.

Interesting points raised the former being more of a more imminent and dangerous possibility and likelihood. I live in a low crime area and a significant portion of that crime comes from blacks from new york state engaging in drug trafficking or other illegal activity. It should be a cause of concern for anyone because its not just isolated to urban high crime ghettos but more rural ones as well. The last thing we need is this to be broadened and zero businesses in these ghettos will likely only catalyze this occurrence.
