Students at Oberlin College have long enjoyed pastries, bagels and chocolates from Gibson's Bakery, a century-old, family-owned business near campus. That sweet relationship has turned bitter amid hotly disputed accusations of racism, roiling a school and town long known for their liberal politics.
The dispute, which began in November 2016 with the arrest of three black Oberlin students who tried stealing wine from Gibson's

First they came for our bakeries and I said nothing because I did not own a bakery.
Typical individuals who shouldn’t be in college. Ferals and thieves.
SF...Chronicle...defends black thieves....Calls it racial dispute...Getting where this is how I read articles from these PC charlatans.
Blacks stealing from a white business?
Surely this is a racist claim; because everyone knows Blacks never do that stuff. /s
It’s Oberlin. It isn’t the real world.
I'm sure the white people will be punished until morale improves.
On Nov. 7, the Gibsons sued Oberlin and Meredith Raimondo, vice president and dean of students, for slander, accusing faculty members of encouraging demonstrations against the bakery by suspending classes, distributing flyers, and supplying protesters with free food and drink.
It says Raimondo took part in the demonstration against Gibson’s with a bullhorn and distributed a flyer that said the bakery is a “RACIST establishment with a LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION.”
The suit needs to be expanded Big Time to include the Student Protestors that Helped and Participated as well as the tour bus operator.
I hope every last little snowflake goes bankrupt and is homeless the rest of their miserable little lives.
This story is simply awesome! I hope it escalates.
The article is more balanced than that.
The college is in Ohio. Does not the SF Chronicle have enough to cover in Kalifornia?
The store pointed to police records that show that only 6 blacks out of 40 shoplifting arrests
“News articles in 2015 quoted students decrying the school dining hall’s sushi and Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches as cultural appropriation. The divisive, voice-of-a-generation actress Lena Dunham, famously a 2008 Oberlin alumna, was quoted in Food & Wine magazine as saying, “The press reported it as, ‘How crazy are Oberlin kids?’ But to me, it was actually, ‘Right on.’””
I hope the bakery wins the lawsuit and collects millions from this rat hole “college”.

The racial aspect is the the specially-privileged government-certified victim group members made a false accusation of racism to cover up their attempted theft, for which they need to go to jail.
No light sentence. JAIL!
I really don’t get it. The black students admit to stealing yet the Liberals say it’s racism when someone attempts legal action against the black thieves. This has gone way to far.
Yeah, he11, most blatant case of racism I've heard about this week.
This sort of action is long past due
Sittin around and bitching here or talk radio isn’t enough. You sue the bastards, withhold donations, demand investigations and resignations
No more MR Nice Guy. No more MR Clean
the people making trouble are white as day.
The black wine stealers admitted they did it and said it was not racist.
It is the lily white liberal establishment that is calling the shop racist and being sued.
This is the culprit, a Dean, calling the shop racist, leading demonstrations about it etc...
