Very good but am wondering about some stuff...

Very good episode overall but am wondering about some things: did the neighborhood NOT have another market that Arch, Ms. Canby and Veronica could patronize? If so, Ms. Canby (preferably with Arch's backing) should have gotten the African American community to start a boycott of the market until Gordy got fired - after all, the $ matters no matter the skin color of whomever is presenting it - all lives matter - period. I thought that this Gordy person was the same one that was on the AITF episodes called Archie Joins the KKK but I saw they had different last names. Gordy actually could have pressed charges on Arch for assault even though he provoked it and/or banned him from the market - athough he did have it coming for besmirking Edith's memory after she had only passed on a few months prior. The other poster might not have realized this but Arch was actually a lodge member for many years on AITF, and Barney threatened to kick him out for declining to do a minstrel show when Gloria was overdue to give birth. Barney also cited the life insurance and burial benefits he'd forfeit - wonder if they included Edith? If so, would they now dare to exhume Edith? Even though Arch had a lot of friends in that lodge, he could do better than them and he didn't need that lodge.
