I’m not following. You mentioned “negative impact.” You’re position is that the solution that has a negative impact on a greater number of people is preferable to the solution that has a negative effect on a smaller number of people?

You’re minimizing the pros. If the pros are minimal then why do so many merchants do it (or at least that’s what black people report)?

And your cons could be described as extortion. “Tolerate our disproportionate theft or else...” These could be true of a child having a tantrum as well.

So again, what’s the solution?

"You’re position is that the solution that has a negative impact on a greater number of people is preferable to the solution that has a negative effect on a smaller number of people?"

No

"You’re minimizing the pros."

Such as what?

"If the pros are minimal then why do so many merchants do it (or at least that’s what black people report)."

If they do, it's because they prioritize their own contempt over the health of their community and finances.

"And your cons could be described as extortion."

I'm not the one who decided that actions have consequences.

No

Yes. Allowing black people to steal hurts more people by raising prices for everyone, including the blacks who don’t steal. Not to mention, it contributes to the third-worldification of society. Not to mention, it creates a lower (unequal) standard for black people. Why do you want people to have lower standards when it comes to black people? Do you think black people are animals?

I’m not the one who decided that actions have consequences.

What actions? Not allowing black people to steal more than others? Why are you anti-equality?

"Yes. Allowing black people to steal hurts more people by raising prices for everyone, including the blacks who don’t steal. Not to mention, it contributes to the third-worldification of society."

This is true regardless of the thief's skin color. I'm not saying we should let people steal things.

"Not to mention, it creates a lower (unequal) standard for black people."

In what universe does an equal standard for black people create a lower standard for black people?

"What actions?"

Racial discrimination.

"Why are you anti-equality?"

Why are you pro-diversity?

So, in summary. You agree with the reality that black people are statistically more likely to steal than nonblacks. Your solution is to either tolerate that disproportionate theft and all of its negative effects on society at large or tolerate the tantrum/extortion that is the “consequence” of addressing that theft.

You’ve made a great case to support the general incompatibility of blacks living in western society.

Clearly you love diversity, thank you for supporting equality for disadvantaged minorities.
