One chef’s social experiment: Charge minorities $12, white people $30.
Washington Post ^ | Maura Judkis

Posted on 03/22/2018 5:15:58 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

If they’re a person of color, they pay $12. If they’re white, he’ll tell them they can either pay $12, or they can pay $30 — two and a half times the base price, which reflects the wealth disparity in New Orleans. He tells them the profits will be redistributed to people of color, but not as charity — just to any minority customers of his who want it, regardless of their income or circumstance.

“When I tell black folks what’s happening, 90 percent of them start laughing, like, ‘For real?’ They’re tickled,” he said. “White folks, there’s this blank — ” he paused and laughed, “— this blank look. They’re like, ‘Huh, okay.’”

$12.00??? For lunch? That sounds ridiculous. A pimento cheese sandwich is about $1.00. That's sounds much better.

When are we going to realize these are Nazis who will bring a race war.

Why not charge gay couples more? Ohh

Correct. At a large hospital in Southern California, I was told (In an orientation meeting) that Blacks cannot be racist as they are not the majority. Only the majority can be racist because they have the power to discriminate.

In the Middle East, we call this a “jizya”.

Later that night I’d lower the price with a Molotov cocktail. Try that BS in Missouri.

A couple of threads from a week or so ago. This was a pop up
restaurant and is now closed.

A restaurant is charging white customers more to highlight racial wealth inequality

White people do it: racist.

Colored people do it: protest against injustice in our time.

I would say I self-identify as a black man.

Hah! I wish. Where I live, adult admission to get into the zoo is $25 ($5 off for seniors and military). But if you have an EBT card, you can get in for $5 on Sundays. I work hard for my money, but I can't afford to drop $50 for me and just one of my kids just for a day in the zoo. Especially while a rabble of unappreciative and out of control moochers overrun the park. I'd rather not go.

What would he have charged Rachel Dolezal? Dolezal, we remember, is a white woman who was the chapter President of a local NAACP while claiming to be black.

I saw the Nigerian grub he is peddling in a different article.

It’s worth about two bucks.

White people that actually pay the premium prices aren’t just white.

They’re stupid too...

Society is banned from having mores that protect citizens from criminals. The only way to separate oneself is to pay extra. No sane person with means will eat at this restaurant.

Oh, waiter, I’m 7/8s Nigerian. I had a Swedish grandmother that accounts for the pale skin and blue eyes but trust me, I identify as Nigerian when I eat here.
