With #BlackBrunch, activists try new way of drawing attention to racial issues

Ask the restaurant owners why they tolerate such intolerance.

[a fool in paradise]

Disrupt Christmas tree lightings, Disrupt WW2 medal award ceremonies

Sounds a lot like the Wet-Burro cult. So much hate. So much intolerance.

[goldstategop]

They need to shut up, sit down and nosh.

[Frank_2001]

Ask them to sing “Carolina In The Morning”, if they want to sing! /s;)

[4Liberty]

food aggression meets micro aggression. Duel to the death!

[a fool in paradise]

Can they sing harmony like the Ink Spots?

The ironic thing about this is that they are hitting upscale eateries in big cities. In other words, they are getting in the faces of young, upwardly-mobile, college-educated caucasians who are most likely to be Liberal — and thus most likely to be (at least putatively) in their corner to begin with.

I say cheer them on! They say inside every Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged. Peachy! They’re mass producing the muggings for us.

that’s not new for them.....way of life.

Shut up and eat
I have had it
I don't want to hear
Another word here
Life's too short
Let's eat and drink
And be merry dear
Say good-bye now
To the crowd
Pestilent and rude
Life's a Mardi Gras
Shut up and eat
When they shout
And push it in your face
Know by God's good grace
Let good cheer
Prevail this place
May men raise their meads
And shut up and eat.

Why don’t these same people go to Chicago and protest if life matters so much

[Junk Silver]

“I’d like to see these loud-mouthed morons try this nonsense in fly-over country and then see what happens.”

This will never happen. The hip metro crowd these fools are “protesting” in front of probably find the whole thing to be a much more entertaining accompaniment for brunch than a harpist or jazz trio, it fits right in with their bizarre world view.

From my point of view what we have here is a 21st century minstrel show.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Funny that you don’t see much of that here in Texas.

[CaptainK]

As long as they keep it up in leftist cities, I don’t see a problem.

[Viking2002]

The clientele should pummel them about the head and shoulders with baguettes until their knees get weak..........LOL

[Disambiguator]

From my point of view what we have here is a 21st century minstrel show.

Someone needs to request "Mammy."

Have you seen the temperature in Chicago?

Just get up, leave your food on the table, and leave without paying. They can't force me to stay in an unsafe environment. That should end this pretty quick.

[vpintheak]

These clowns are gonna walk into the wrong place someday. What are they doing anyway? Simply PO’ing people is all they are accomplishing.

[pluvmantelo]

Your response is the rational one, which if why I think this whole thing is a protection racket. “This is a real nice restaurant you have here. It would be a real shame if a bunch of aggrieved minorities were to come here and vent there unhappiness. But for a modest donation to my I Can’t Breathe foundation, I could prevent such an unfortunate occurrence”.

[Cololeo]

May be. However, if so, they are common extortionists and terrorists. That in itself, fomenting a race riot, gives me the justification to protect myself, and my life, with deadly force if need be. This whole racist black cabal are pushing as hard as they can, so we might as well start dancing.

[SCHROLL]

What’d be funny is if restaurants started providing patrons with a can of pepper spray on each table. The next time these clowns chose to invade some one’s space they could be properly hosed down.
