An upmarket restaurant in Portland has faced a violent backlash after seating a group of white supremacists.
Police were called twice to Clarklewis, an LGBTQ+-owned restaurant in the Central Eastside, on Sunday after protesters confronted the diners and restaurant staff.
The restaurant said its staff had no idea about the group’s alleged political affiliations when they arrived for a private brunch.(snip)
Rogers made clear that the restaurant does not support white nationalism and said staff would not knowingly host a group with those beliefs.
Rogers said one female employee quit on the spot after the confrontation, while other staff members left for the rest of the day.
The restaurant was subsequently closed for Sunday night’s dining service. A private wedding event for a former employee scheduled for later that evening was canceled.(snip)
Protesters were present outside but declined to give interviews. It was unclear whether those individuals had been involved in the earlier property damage.
Rogers said the business cannot realistically investigate the political beliefs of every customer who walks through its doors.
'We don’t know,' he said. 'We don’t know who’s walking through the door.'

"You're not going to open with that, are you?"
Those awful "White Nationalists" obviously displaying privilege by giving the restaurant money when they weren't even asked. Turrible, jus turrible.
Here's two pics of their meeting fliers.


Scheduled to speak were:
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance. former editor of the Washington Times. Wikipedia has him labeled as a white supremicist.
Ed Dutton, professor of evolutionary anthropology, host of YouTube channel "The Jolly Heratic".
Kangmin Lee, Turning Point associate and conservative YouTube commentator.
Dave Greene, writes about culture, politics, and practical political philosophy. Hosts YouTube channel "The Distributist".
Peter Brimelow, founder of now-suspended VDARE, author of "Alien Nation:Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster". The notorious New York AG Letitia James has bankrupted them through never-ending investigations while the SPLC thoroughly blacklisted them.
note: I believe Jim Robinson banned VDARE years ago for being too radical/extremist.
and Eric 'Aaron' Aarvoll of 'Return to the Land', the only actual white separatist in this list, established an all-white community in Arkansas. Stressing the Right of Association.
As a group they struck me as sharing a mission to preserve America more than anything. They should have researched more than the menu offering and spent their money elsewhere. The gay flags out front were a clue.
I am a retired pharmacist, and my wife is a retired software engineer. In a conservative central Texas city, Salado. I do not understand this insanity. We do not care who our customers are in our antique store. Most are straight and some gay. Oddly the gay males are the best customers as they appreciate our antique merchandise as do the straights. Our shop is just for fun as we are well off.
In my little village a white supremist would not be welcomed. I have never met one since my youth in South Louisiana in 1966 when I was one. I became educated and realized it was all a lie. Working overseas in many nations confirmed this.
Antifa is a left wing terrorst organization.
[Imagine~1965]
The WhiteSheetMen crashed an upscale restaurant and terrified the staff and send a group of colored persons in town for a political meeting scurrying.
Access to public accommodations such as restaurants is a federally protected civil right.
Pfft. I would smash up the place too.
“Hey! I ordered the Eggs Benedict for brunch, and you served me some lousy White Supremacists! And they’re undercooked, too!”
Darn it, you beat me to it!

Harissa (Arabic: هريسة, romanized: harīsa, from Tunisian Arabic) is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste. Peppers in the country were first grown in the Cape Bon Peninsula, birthplace of the condiment, with Nabeul famous for being the primary center for its production. The main ingredients are roasted red peppers, Baklouti peppers, spices and herbs such as garlic paste, caraway seeds, coriander seeds, cumin and olive oil to carry the oil-soluble flavors.

“one female employee quit on the spot.” Mature people calmly listen to other points of view and give superiors two weeks notice. Poor female employee. She needs to grow up.
Well let me add to the fire.
ALL LIVES MATTER, EVEN WHITE ONES.
I can just hear the woke and the demoRATs and the so so-socialists and the rest of the staff and owner of the LGBTQ+-owned restaurant chocking and screaming at that.........
Serve Man?
In this commie leaning city.
Subtle allusion to “Eat the rich”?
Rod Serling not with standing........
By the way does anyone know what was on the supposed white supremacists who came for brunch T-shirts?
Anybody know?
It may be too late for many of them by the time they realize that they have too much of themselves invested in the bullshit they’re involved in now. They can’t see what the problem is because they’re too damned close to it.
Violently suppressing free speech and subordinating (or rejecting) individualism are core historical features of fascism, not incidental or disputed ones. In general terms most antifa actions are actually facsist.
Find a leftist LGBTQ restaurant and post flyers about a White Nationalist group meeting there. AntiFa smashes it up. Repeat.
The restaurant will run better without the female employee.
