Sunday was a bad day to order the egg-white omelet.
Not content with disrupting medal ceremonies for centenarian WWII veterans, the “hands up, don’t shoot” crowd served up its latest concoction: “Black Brunch,” in which protesters stormed brunch-serving restaurants — a.k.a. “white spaces” — in Manhattan and Oakland, Calif., chanting, singing, waving banners and posters, and reading off names of black citizens killed by police.
If that seems hip and edgy to you, then you were probably brunching at Lallisse on Sunday morning. In an interview in Spook magazine, “activists” Wazi Maret Davis and Brianna Gibson, discussing an earlier Black Brunch event, recounted the reaction of diners at a restaurant in the Rockridge neighborhood in Oakland:
[Spook:] What was the response you had from the white folks who were sitting there in Rockridge, eating their brunch?
Brianna: . . . I think the first place we went I had a few people ask me, “What do you want us to do?” And I told them, just remain silent and acknowledge that we’re here. Some people nodded, some people applauded, or showed a fist of solidarity, and there were a few individuals who were crying.
Wazi: Weeping. Weeping is the word.
“I think it’s beautiful,” the manager of Oakland restaurant Forge told the Los Angeles Times, responding to Sunday’s events. “It’s a message that needs to be heard, and if they have to disrupt business and daily life for a minute, then I’m glad we could help.” At Oakland’s Lungamore, a dozen customers stood in support.
The rhetoric and the reality do not align. Davis says that it is imperative to “interrupt . . . communities where they’re surrounded by money, or they’re surrounded by white folks, [and] they don’t have to engage with what’s going on in Black communities, and they can easily disassociate from that and pretend it’s not happening.” But the communities the Black Brunch crowd inconvenienced were full of dime-a-dozen liberals eager to support their cause. You would be hard-pressed to find someone in midtown Manhattan unwilling to raise a mimosa to a refrain of “Justice for Mike Brown is justice for us all!”
Left-wingers can be about as flamboyant as they please when protesting in Manhattan or the Bay Area, and they know it. There is a reason they are not staging their performance art at barbecue joints at dinnertime in Fort Worth: namely, they would not make it through the door — not because the diners are racist brutes, but because the only dinner-and-show they are interested in is the one they paid for.
And in parts of the country not governed by Oberlin graduates, people are sensible enough to refuse the premise of such spectacles, which is that the racial climate of present-day America is no different than that of 1950s-era Montgomery. But it is. Black Brunch is not a modern-day sit-in, because brunch establishments are not modern-day whites-only diners.
“Black Brunch” is nothing more than the tactic of a racial-justice movement being steadily reduced to its radical fringe, populated by people such as Gibson, who use phrases like, “We’re really trying to de-centre whiteness.” Marches in Time Square succeeded on the backs of recreational protesters, who, self-satisfied, returned to their NPR podcasts and vegan-smoothie shops. Black Brunch is a grasp at relevance by the hardliners left behind. Who can be surprised that it meets with some approval from the crowd of milquetoast liberals who, for reasons of demography and geography, are the people most likely to frequent brunch service in Manhattan and Oakland? It is one type of leftist talking to another.
And it’s the left-winger who is most likely to see things through the filter of racial grievance. As one protester tweeted, “ATTN WHITE Man, I have no guilt disturbing your brunch. Its [sic] YOU that has no right to be here.”
Just as Martin Luther King envisioned: a nation where people are judged not by the color but by the content of their crepe.
Or something.

“I think I’da ordered Chicken and Waffles for breakfast.”
IN A VERY LOUD VOICE: uh, waiter, I’ve changed my mind, please remove my eggs Benedict and bring me an EXTRA LARGE SERVING OF WATERMELON AND FRIED CHICKEN!
“The irony is they cannot do this in their own neighborhoods or during evening meals because the gang bangers will shoot them.”
One of the few times I’d side with the gang-bangers: shooting Buppies who interrupt the gang-bangers’ “brunch”.

Wazi Maret Davis ... They hold a BA in Communication and a Major Certificate in LGBT studies from the University of Maryland,
"They"??? Is there more than one of her? And yes, she's a homosexual pervert.
Nothing definitive on the other two ... apparently the one on the far right is female. Hard to tell. None of them have ever done anything to better society, and all of them have worked to increase racial bigotry, hatred and violence. They're completely wretched ... May God lead them to repentance and conversion.
They are intimidated.
Any response is viewed by the ferals as a “trigger” to attack.
I would have taken my plate of eggs benedict and smashed it into the face of one of them.
Why do the nose/snout rings on the one on the left remind me of some of hogs with nose/ snout rings?
Are they to show she likes rooting at the Y?
I’m more concerned about sympathetic cooks and servers who spit in my food.
:0)
Why pay the bill? Because, after the 4 to 7 minutes the in-store demonstration is expected to take, I finished eating my brunch.
Don’t think it will only last just 4-7 minutes?
The #blackbrunch organizing group does and states so in their manual:
It’s a short read. Actually pretty professional in approach and probably reflects a lot of experience in organizing noisy but peaceful and lawful protests.
While they call for a store liaison to explain things to the establishment and one to deal with the police should they be called, there is no mention of giving advanced warning (for obvious reasons). So, as I mentioned in my original post, the management may be dealing with them at the same instant you are.
If you find yourself in one of these events and they appear to be following the script as outlined in the manual, ignore them and they will soon go away. BTW, they DO know they are not in a free speech zone inside the restaurant and are supposed to leave if directed to do so by management. They want you to feel uncomfortable but also want to minimize risk to themselves.
Ironically, the event is supposed to conclude with the protest group having brunch somewhere as well. How about that!?
