Walgreens was accused of "racial discrimination" by a Democratic lawmaker in Massachusetts after the pharmacy giant closed another location in Boston.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., railed against the "multi-billion-dollar corporation" for their decision to pull out of the predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhood of Roxbury during a speech on the House floor on Wednesday. It is the fourth Walgreens store to close in Boston in a little over a year.

--- Quote ---"When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they disrupt the entire community and they take with them baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers, life-saving medications, and, of course, jobs. These closures are not arbitrary and they are not innocent. They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination," - said Rep. Pressley.

I think the problem is that Walgreens' visitors from the neighborhood who had no intention of spending money there were taking with them baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers ... what am I saying? They probably were taking bottles of liquor, mostly.
