On weekends, activists dressed in black are entering restaurant after restaurant, chanting and singing. The idea behind #BlackBrunch is to disrupt business as usual at upscale locations.
A half century after Huey Newton and Bobby Seale formed the Black Panthers in Oakland, Calif., to carry guns and follow police around to record brutality, a new activism tactic has been launched in the same city to address racial injustice albeit the weapons are different.
On Sunday, activists dressed in black entered restaurant after restaurant in Oakland. Drawing out megaphones, 36 African-Americans chanted, sang, and filed out.
Known as #BlackBrunch, the idea was born right after a grand jury in Staten Island, N.Y., refused to indict a white police officer in the apparent chokehold death of Eric Garner. In the past month, similar #BlackBrunch scenes have taken place in San Francisco; Berkeley, Calif.; Baltimore; and Boston. And Sunday marked the first #BlackBrunch in Manhattan....

New way=rude and obnoxious.
In your face - these wackos think disrupting people’s good time will get them liked.
They’re just flies no one wants around.
I’d like to see these loud-mouthed morons try this nonsense in fly-over country and then see what happens.
Softselling such hate speech (and the assault of patrons) is journalistic malfeasance.
BULLSTALIN, this flips the lunch counter protests on their head. This time it is black separatists telling peaceful white diners that they have no right to be there and are physically assaulting them and shouting at them with abusive language.
The Injustice Department will not intervene.
The black bigots' rudeness is hardly new. In 2001 I had a black bigot shouting at me (unprovoked) as I walked down the sidewalk in Manhattan. He said that I was the white devil of which he spoke. He used a megaphone to "shame" and impugn me.
Yup. Being rude and obnoxious is not a civil right.
I’d punch the lights of out of a guy who insists on being in my face after being told to leave me the hell alone.
Protecting yourself from a thug isn’t assault in my book.
Flash mobs and socialist networking sites. They can claim "no leadership at fault" when the riots break out.
.....because eating lunch has so much to do with judgements in police cases.....
Also known as #NegroNosh.
And if they can handle that I would like to see these hipster black and white protesters try this same nonsense, on the street, in the hood, in front black thugs who kill other blacks.
Black Live Matter or so they claim they believe.
Hey, if they had a legitimate complaint against society I would applaud these tactics... As it is, its a Communist funded agenda against the rule of law.. Brown was a burly criminal am who tried to ram a cop. The other guy resisted arrest and had underlying medical issues that caused his death. We have to living in
Reality not fantasy

The folks who demand respect have a funny way of showing it to others.
As usual, the irony of it all is lost upon them.
Maintain a calm demeanor as MLK and the other civil rights peace marchers advocated. Have someone photograph the angry black agitators, then send the photos to the Souf’poverty Law Sinners for African-American History Month (February). Black History is still being written and it’s gotten very ugly.
A betrayal of what MLK advocated. He denounced the Nation of Islam as being as vile and wrong as the KKK.
It would be helpful if these clowns would post a schedule of where they will be protesting.
FOOD FIGHT
The Christian Science Monitor thinks this is a good turn of events.
Doesn’t sound very Christian.
Disrupt Christmas tree lightings
Disrupt WW2 medal award ceremonies
Disrupt brunches
THIS MAKES PEOPLE LIKE THEIR CAUSE..?!
I hope they continue it —all sorts of new people will start hating them.
