Consumer Review Site Yelp has Partnered with BLM to Publicly Target Businesses they deem "Racist" with 'Public Attention Alert'
nteb ^ | 10/10/20 | Geoffrey Grider

Kamala Harris was 100% right when she said that the “riots are not going away”, even after the election. What the Left is creating is a permanent mob rule based system of anarchy that will soon vie with the police for control of the streets. The Black Lives Matter Movement, having now received nearly a billion dollars in funding since the riots began, is positioning themselves to be the 21st century version of Adolf Hitler’s Brown Shirts. Think I exaggerate?

There are few social media sites with more impact and influence than consumer review site, Yelp. A good review on Yelp can increase your business by 200%, and a bad review can drive business away in droves. But what if Yelp were to partner with, say, Black Lives Matter, and begin to label businesses that the mob has deemed to be ‘racist’, and then what if they were to publicly label that business, your business, with a Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert? This is exactly the new business model for Yelp.

How long would it be until the ANTIFA and BLM mobs showed up to your place, bricks flying through your windows, fires set in your showroom, and whatever valuables you have being looted by militia members? Not very long at all, social media is crazy fast and powerful. Are you ready for the mobs to come to your business demanding reparations, their term indicating they are robbing you and telling you that you deserve it? Remember, you don’t actually have to be racist, or do anything racist, or say anything racist, you just have to be accused of it. Fascists love to operate like that.

Corporate Marxism — a systemic problem.

The BLM group in Louisville has ALREADY extorted businesses with threats of bad reviews and interference in their business if you don’t give them money directly as donations and jobs or indirectly hiring their “diversity trainers” 3-4x a year.

The problem is that Yelp feeds into local search engine optimization and other business directories - so their ratings hurt your online reputation.

Was going to mention corporate Marxism in my earlier post to you as a catalyst to CWII, but ironically, here it is on full display.

I’m guessing there’s a financially powerful group that’s taking over these otherwise benign social apps. A study of the VCs and BODs might paint a picture.

But beyond the social apps, we have the corporate media problem that also has a stronghold on the nation’s telecom — a monopolized subscriber base that’s forced to feed the Leftwing agenda. Then there’s the likes of Disney that are also forcing the unwanted agenda upon the American family.

Whether it’s coordinated or simply a tide, it’s a systemic problem that needs to be rectified.

How many CEOs reached out to Trump regarding the recent Covid attack? All I noticed were their employees praying for Covid.

”Frightening that American people called Dems allow this to happen on our American soil.

We should make them ashamed even if they don’t have the character to feel ashamed on their own. Disgusting.”

Leftists have no shame because they have no conscience. Their entire lives, including their politics, are devoted to doing whatever they have to do to get their way. They are selfish to the core, and hate normal society because it doesn’t align with their deviant lifestyles. They literally want the rest of us dead, and express that desire frequently and unapologetically.

They cannot be shamed, persuaded, convinced, or deterred. They are as deeply deluded by evil as any member of the Manson “family”, and are exhibiting a rapidly increasing willingness to act out their evil intentions.

There is only one way to stop them and that is to crush them, initially at the ballot box and if they persist (which they most certainly will) they will have to be met with force. That’s the unfortunate situation we now find ourselves in, and to a large degree we have only ourselves to blame. Every time we conservatives said “nah” to a suggestion to run for school board, or to become a teacher, or more broadly decided to take the path of least resistance at work or school by remaining silent when leftists began spreading their vile propaganda, we each contributed to the current disaster by ceding ground to the relentless march of the Left. While we were trying not to upset our liberal friends or coworkers, they were supporting the unapologetic takeover of this country by communists and anarchists.

Showing a clip of the Chaplin film and tying it to what the Dems are doing would be powerful. Plus, they could also work in a mention of the “minor little detail” that the KKK was supported by the DEMONRAT party (a fact of which many and maybe even MOST millenials have never been informed)!

Partnering with a radical and violent group, is a death wish for Yelp.

My daughter uses them for her business, but no more.

How much of the influence being exerted on and excreted from these businesses is coming straight (and crooked) from Beijing!!

I see it the same way you do. I will spend my money at every place the fascists label as racist. I will never let fascists dictate where I spend my money. I think yelp should change its name to help because they’re going to need it.

Labeling based on mere ACCUSATION? So much for innocent until proven guilty. Plus, the left has an overbroad definition of racism.
