buck." he sail) "But I don't mind the people in
the so-called ghettos and inner cities making a
buck utt of it bet itisc even though they might lie
robbing you. they don't have any other wav U*

Indeed, small business owner Arnold Morgan
admits his business was successful (adore bigger
companies saturated the market
"It used to (a; a profitable market for selling,
but now you’ve got larger stores selling the same
stuff." fie said "It's hard for a small business to
compete."
Morgan, who operates Two-G's Plaza in Port
land. said he believes Malcolm X has a plat e in
capitalism, but that consumers should recognize
the message behind the symbol.
It people have thf money. they i an buy what

wearing it when they don't know what it stands
for." she said.
Japanese language graduate Keiko I ahata said
she didn't mind the i ominen iulism
"I think some black people get the wrong idea
from tfiat stuff.” Tahata said. Man think white
