Savanna, Ga. is not really a part of Georgia. Savanna is Savanna and considers itself to be a separate entity. In a way, it is like San Fran and Austin, and Asheville, and Berkeley. The beach is nice.

Help! I can’t keep up with the increasing levels of stupidity being unleashed on Americans. Can’t we just stop all this bullshit?

What about us Joooooos? Any discount for us? We love a bargain!

*SNORT*

ANY store that told me I could or could NOT shop there based upon the color of my skin isn’t going to see Dollar-ONE of my cash.

How dumb are these ‘business’ people in their quest for this imaginary Social Justice CR@P?

Simple answer is to spend your money elsewhere.

Do they only accept things to sell from black people?

The owners of this store comprise a new breed of stupid. They probably have already alienated a large proportion of their customers. I certainly would not step foot in that loonie bin of a store, $20 fee or not. I don’t know how they managed to run a store, they’re so stupid.

I’m down in JAX and visit Savannah yearly. The Trump economy has really turbocharged growth there. I fear the state is being swamped by blue state transplants and Third World immigrants. Hope for the best, though.

Not ALL of Savannah, just the touristy parts, North of Gaston St. But, they do call us the State of Chatham in Atlanta.

Problem is that Hollywood keeps pushing that area instead of the rest of the city that is pretty much low-key and relaxed.

It seems they are by appointment only. Probably because of shoplifting. You can guess what demographic does that in large numbers.

OK, so it would be ok to impose a $20 appointment fee for BIPOC (whatever that is) because they’re more likely to shoplift?

I couldn’t care less since their policy means I’ll never consider spending my hard earned money at their establishment.

Possibly but it could be covid-related, too.

“We are shopping on stolen land.”

Correction: To our lovely customers: You are shoplifting on stolen land. So it’s all good.

Her sign is one big, glaring contradiction.

Aside from that, why is she continuing to do business on this supposedly stolen land? She should give it back to the original inhabitants.

Why is racist in quotes?

It unquestionably is.
