Poor bastard.
This is FAR worse than what was done to Kunta Kinte.

Don’t you know he’s “a national figure on race and progressive politics” or so they say.
To: fatnotlazy
Whoever he is, he should scram.

"I look up and see one of your employees staring daggers at me," he wrote in an open letter to the cafe's management. "The employee then jerks her head to her left aggressively and I see her mouth say something to the effect of 'scram,' or 'git' or go. The incident, he said, was akin to something heard in 1963 Selma, Alabama -- not liberal Berkeley. He's lucky he left when he did. She probably would have gone back and unleashed the dogs and sprayed him with a high power fire hose if he didn't leave after she "stared daggers at him."
Its Selma All Over Again!!!!!!

From now on, instead of saying *anything*, literally anything, pull out a gun and shoot him right in his ever-open fat mouth.

The owner of the Elmwood Cafe sounds like a chicken-—t pandering leftist as well.
Either the restaurant get thoroughly slimed, and is shut down, or it will become a magnet for every scuzzy black panhandler within 20 miles.
Justus!

Bell went to a different cafe to work after breakfast...He doesn't have an office? Not even in his home? He needs to go to a café to 'work'? Taking up a table that could be used to seat a paying patron? Plus, sucking up free wifi.
I don't know this puke but I hate him already.

The employee *raped* me with (his/her) eyes! Then they psychically dragged me to a tree, put a virtual noose around my neck and lynched me, while thinking hate crime racist epithets!

A comedian is a “national figure on race and progressive politics”.
Where’s the “I Don’t Want To Live On This Planet Anymore” gif?

That is one weird link. Once I scroll to read the comments, the screen goes blank and remains that way.

His wife, and her friends, are white. When a BLACK person leaves the Democrat Plantation to think for themselves they are called a 'Race Traitor'.
I don't think Bell is a Race Traitor for marrying a White woman.
I mean, I get it.
Who wants to marry a Perpetual Angry Black Woman that will kick your ass like a man if you piss her off?
