"In front of two-inch glass and Arabs I order fries..." Common 6th Sense

    Let me first say that these are my opinions.  I'm not claiming to know everything and some of stuff I say maybe misinformed.  I'm just telling you how I view it..

    The Arab (pronounced Air-ub) community plays a big part in Black life in the city of Detroit.  Most of the supermarkets and "corner stores" (place where you pick up junk food and liquor) are owned by them.  Now some people like 'em and some hate em.

Now when I was growing up and even when I turned grown I was ignorant about Arab people.  I thought first thought all Arab people was Muslims.   I know that sounds ignorant but that's how I thought.  Not true.  Most of the Arab people who run biznesses in my city are Catholics.  Now I know some people don't think Catholics are Christians but that's another issue.  Most of the people up are Chaldeans.  I think that's where Abraham was from, Chaldea.  Yall check that just to make sure though.  But being Catholic will automatically build relationships with the people hear because most people hear "believe" in Jesus.

But like I said some people hate em.  Some because they don't like anybody except Black people.  Others because of the products they sell to the Black people.  Products that some people feel are killing the Black community.  Such as hardcore liquor, cigarettes, weed paper pornography of nude  woman.  Some sell these products to underage children.  If I was teen and wanted some squares, I could go into a store easily and some cigarettes.  Some feel that they are just there to pimp the community.  So it's a hatred towards them.  Others feel that they don't care about the people in the way they keep up the stores.  And this is true to certain extent in my opinion.  I been to stores that just straight up have a bad odor.  Floors just streight up filled with dirt.  Nasty yo. This ain't everybody doe.  Language also plays a big part.  Since not everybody comes in here speaking English.

Now I don't want yall to think it's all bad.  There are some who gives Detroiters jobs.  They do have stores where you can shop in hood.   Because most of the major stores are in the burbs.  They also treat alot people with respect and are mad friendly.  You'll see in them stores pictures of their black "homeboys" (jk).  So it ain't all that bad.    In part two though, Imma get into the Arab Muslim community.  And the relationship ain't good at all.
