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

There was a sketch on one of the old comedy shows that tried to compete with SNL where a paranoid black man was teaching his son that black olives were oppressed because they were in a can and green olives were in a jar. I can’t find it but it was funny.

As a woman of color, she should watch the hilarious series ,In Living Color to get a grip, and gain a little sense of humor, which is so lacking in their racial fishbowl. But that series could never be played again in these racially divisive days of Obung-hole, the Dictator/dictas(ter.

As a woman of color who is also useless, you should be making me a sandwich.

Let’s get the tire companies to use the “Black Tires Matter” slogan and see if it helps business. They can double up and invited Pokemon GO players inside their workshop to find their treasures.
