CHICAGO A Chicago flower company is asking its customers to take a stance against racism or take their business somewhere else.
Visitors to the website of Flowers for Dreams are presented with a question in a pop-up: Do you condemn racism, Nazism, and white nationalism? If they select Yes, the website thanks them for speaking out against hate, and suggests they make a donation to groups like the Anti-Defamation League.
If they select No, the website says: Thank you but no thank you. We dont want your business here.
Clicking Goodbye then redirects the user to the home page of the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
Flowers for Dreams co-founder and CEO Steven Dyme said the move was inspired by the events in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend, when a man drove a car into a crowd of people protesting a white supremacist rally.
For us it felt like seeing the response on social media that people, especially minority communities, felt vulnerable, Dyme said.
Dyme said many of the companys customers and employees are from diverse communities, including all kinds of races and religions, and it felt like their shared values were under attack. So they came on the idea of implementing a pop-up to show their support for those communities and their opposition to white supremacist groups.
Our customers and our team members are the same, they all speak with their money as a way to express their values, Dyme said. We see ourselves as being a forceful kind of agent of those values to continue to promote them in the world.

It takes a lot of guts to stand up against racism and Nazism.

A pajama boy, of course.
Those glasses tell us all we need to know....................................
Amazing...they are going to win with this agenda too. Just like forcing us with trans, they will win with this too.
Being white will be a hate crime.
Oh wow. It has really come to this now.
Then we have nothing to lose. Take as many of them with us as possible.
Virtue signaling, to the Nth degree.
Yeah. SO brave for taking a stand against racism and nazism. Lol.
I’m just here for Flowers ,Flower Boy ,keep your stupid questions
Happy birthday, dear. I bought you some bullets.
Pompous arrogant a-holes, enjoy your bankruptcy.
I’ll be interested to hear when he takes a stand against the gang bangers who are killing people in Chicago left and right.
Go on, Steven, wag your finger at them and call them out.
My thoughts exactly
LOOKITTM”EEEEEEE
What an way trolling for publicity
How do they feel about the Congressional black caucus? Purely racist.
ya, good point. doesn’t he think Black Lives Matter? The vast majority of shooting victims in Chicago are black.
So, no option to condemn BLM racism???
Will they include BLM and Antifa?
The irony is pussies like this clown can’t associate the central concentration of power and the hero worship of false politicalidols
Like Obama and hilLIAR
