Paisano’s Italian restaurant was accused of making a joke in poor taste against the “Black Lives Matter” protest when it shared the “Black Olives Matter Try Our Tapenade” slogan out the front of its Alburquerque, New Mexico, premises. People have taken to social media to slam the slogan, with Claudia Sanchez writing: “As a woman of color I find your posting offensive and in very bad taste.
“You simply wish to rub salt in an ugly festering wound which evil minded people refuse to allow to heal. The civilized world no longer has any tolerance for your hateful public display of what passes to you as humor.”
Others criticised the restaurant for apparently deleting negative comments.
But others praised the pun, with Russell Berryman writing: “Always love a good play on words. keep up the good work.”
The restaurant’s owner Rick Camuglia told CBS affiliate KRQE: “We didn’t think anybody would be offended by that. It was not our intent to offend anybody.”
The sign has since been taken down by the restaurant and photos of the billboard have been taken down
Then legally, no one is offended. Comey
Nobody has a sense of humor anymore.
What does your kid think about your FR screen name?
The civilized world is civilized in part because it has learned how to accept the vagaries of life by using humor. When you cannot laugh at yourself and your situation, you become uncivilized.
The Italian Restaurant has not killed any cops, has not slashed any women on any train, has not driven an explosive-filled truck through a crowd, has not proclaimed that rape is an acceptable form of reparations for centuries-old grievances. No, that would be YOUR SIDE.
I personally like the undeniable truth:
ALL LIVES MATTER!
I completely agree with this protester, but likely not for the same reasons. :-)
Can they FedEx pizza to Baltimore?
Well, at least I can send so e to my aunt nearby in AZ.
Some people turn their “racist radar” to extreme...green olives in a jar and black olives in a can is racist??? LMAO!
LOL! I love some good black olive tapenade on some good fresh bread.
All lives matter, and cops don’t start their shifts wanting to go out and kill a black man, no matter how much the #BLM folks are pushing that narrative.
And on any type of Mexican food. YUM. This is making me hungry, still 2 hours until lunch!
Sounds like your son is going full special snowflake. Time to bring out the belt.
There is absolutely nothing that can be done to educate, and enlighten those people out of their hide-bound leftist, racist mind-set.
According to legend, a black dog is an omen.
I had a personal experience regarding a black cat crossing my path. It made me an a passenger totally creeped out one day — and neither of us believed in that superstition.
It turned out to be the worst day of our lives.
(...yum...)

Is she talking about black race hustlers as an evil festering wound? Because they are the only ones who keep picking at the scab.
I would frequent that place if it wasn’t 1,400 miles away.
What happened?
Oh, no! MAKING A JOKE IN POOR TASTE! Flay them!
Liberals cannot take even the slightest hint of a joke when it’s aimed in their direction, because they are all really Nazis at heart (and, yes, I mean that).
