BLM has got to set the record for advancing through the three stages of Hoffer's Law.
[Breitbart] Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters issued "social justice" and "black liberation" demands regarding "diversity" to a restaurant owner in Louisville, KY, including a directive for "donations" to organizations run by non-whites.
Listed demands from a BLM affiliate in Louisville include racial quotas for staff and ownership of business suppliers, donations to organizations run by non-whites, and adjustment to dress codes. The posters used the acronym "BIPOC" ("black or indigenous persons of color") as a euphemism for non-white persons:
23% of Staff is BIPOC in Front of House
23% of inventory is from BIPOC retailer(s)
Regular donations to BIPOC organization
Dress code policy does not discriminate against BIPOC patrons of employees.
Additional demands issued via the letter included the option to give 1.5 percent of revenues to a local "black nonprofit or organization" in lieu of purchasing a minimum of 23 percent of the business’s inventory from "black retailers," mandated "diversity and inclusion training" for all employees, and displaying of left-wing messaging to support "reparations."
The posters include a stated commitment to be publicly visible as a public service announcement pending future "inspections" of restaurants and other businesses.
Local supporters and some from Louisville’s Cuban community held a rally to support Martinez’s restaurant on Sunday, which was vandalized in recent days. They said the restaurant "has been subject to vandalism and extortion in recent days."
The Courier-Journal reported:
La Bodeguita de Mima was forced to close July 24 during a [Black Lives Matter] demonstration that shut down East Market Street, at which several protesters presented Martinez with the list of demands and said he "better put the letter on the door so your business is not f*cked with."
The restaurant remained closed the next two days because "management and staff were concerned about safety," according to the release. "30+ staff members (mostly immigrants) were unable to earn a paycheck." |
