There are parallels between low income (inner city) and rural problems. I genuinely feel modern discrimination and issues are better understood as class issues

  Obfuscated probably isn't the right word: the reality is that there are both class and racial issues. The latter feeds into the former; the former gives political cover for the latter.

  Not sure what you are getting at, but the problem with urban retailers is shoplifting. I doubt that is the problem at "Stub's".

  Class issues and racial issues intersect. If you skew too far toward class issues, you wind up in class reductionism (the demonstrably false notion that creating economic equality will solve racism). If you skew too far toward race issues, you get... I'm not sure what the term for it is, but it's essentially trying to achieve racial equality by building up a class of Black entrepreneurs and ignoring everyone else. An interesting thing I've found (anecdotally) is that corporate and nonprofit efforts for "racial justice" skew very heavily toward the latter, but community aid and grassroots racial justice groups strike much more of a balance.
