The Louisville cadre of Black Lives Matter activists sent a letter to many downtown businesses demanding they diversify their employees. But at least one Cuban-American business owner objected to the threatening tone of the letter and posted his displeasure on Facebook.
Fernando Martinez owns a restaurant group with several Hispanic eateries. He accused BLM of using mafia tactics and explained his position.
There comes a time in life that you have to make a stand and you have to really prove your convictions and what you believe in, Martinez wrote in a public Facebook post. All good people need to denounce this. How can you justified (sic) injustice with more injustice?
The response by Black Lives Matter was immediate. Several members stood outside one of the business owners establishments demonstrating their displeasure and confronting Martinez when he came outside to talk to them.
If you and I can sit down as human beings that we are without screaming at each other, without calling each other names, without offending each other, we can come to an understanding, Martinez told one protester after explaining that he felt threatened by the way the demands were delivered to his business.
How is destroying our business going to bring any justice?

BLM does not want to get into a pissing contest with Latinos. Search terms “genocide and Comton”.
More Hispanic voters for Trump will be the result.
“Hint: Hispanics are not fans of BLM.”
That’s a fact.
Wellll,first off,you would have to get up before noon,actually work 12-14 hours a day,do weekends and hardly see your family the first 2 years of operations.....
If you dont vote for Trump
You aint Hispanic!
Hispanics are not fans of BLM.
Hispanics are not fans of B.
Louisville should have taken care of this..IT’S EXTORTION.....
BLM is not about B.
“Nice little chain of eatin joints you got there...”
Oh, theres zero question about that.
My point is most folks from south of the border are extremely class driven and pigmentation hue is the primary determinant.
“Louisville should have taken care of this...”
Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be much chance of local Democrat controlled governments interfering with the blatant extortion BLM is practicing.
Those Cubans will take care of this matter themselves if they have to, that I am certain of.
Louisville demonrats are like demonrats everywhere. No guts, no integrity, and they wont do a damn thing about this.
We ate near downtown several weeks ago. It was my first experience with CCW. I felt kind of silly because it was so darn peaceful. I wont feel silly any more.
If American blacks think racism is bad here, let them try Puerto Rico, Mexico, or Colombia for their next trip.
And don’t be a wuss sticking to the hot spots and tourist traps - go interior, go deep into those countries.
Tell me how it works for you.
Call the Latin Kings or la EME...Mexican Mafia. Theyd love to talk with the BLM.
Try 45 years....
Contract work. My choice. Made good
$$, to the detriment of a more solid
relationship. But we’re still together.
We live just outside Louisville, our hometown. Our idiot Dem state Gov and equally idiotic Dem city mayor (on his last term) have been pretty much letting the protests go on unchecked (there was a period of National Guard and "curfew" that lasted not even a full week and wasn't enforced worth a shit) Add to that our police chief, who was set to retire in June, was fired the day after a shootout between police/NG and protesters (a well known black businessman died in the crossfire. There's differing accounts on who shot first) where it was found out that none of the law enforcement had bodycameras activated.
In short, it's a fucking shitshow here.
Thanks for the update.,..So,when the shit hits the fan,there is no support for the owners...Just BLM...I suspect it will end up with a shooting,a bomb or something that pissed BLM decided the owners needed and they decoded to “show “ the owners their power..
The mob always ramped up the payments because they got away with it....I’ts just a matter of time before it blows up and a few owners say no more and that sets off BLM.....
” Black Lives Matter “ is just an extension of “black” prison gangs.
Hispanics know to allow none of it.
A good majority of the businesses downtown have their glassfronts boarded up and its been that way for weeks. Even one of our local radio personalities, Terry Meiners, who leans more liberal, says it looks like a warzone. We already had NFAC (Not F**king Around Coalition) a black militia, marching through downtown on Jul 26 (you may have seen in the news where one of them accidentally discharged their weapon and wounded three of their own) Their leader stated in an interview they’re giving our AG 4 weeks to render justice in the Breonna Taylor case or they’re gonna come back and burn the city down.
