Louisville's Cuban community hold rally against BLM shakedown demands

[livingston]

Members of Louisville's Cuban community plan to gather Sunday in support of a NuLu restaurant owner who says he was threatened by Black Lives Matter protesters during a recent demonstration.

Fernando Martinez, a partner of the Olé Restaurant Group, was one of dozens of business owners in the downtown Louisville district who recently received a letter from protesters laying out demands that aim to improve diversity in the area, which is known for its locally-owned shops and restaurants.

Martinez has publicly denounced the demands on Facebook, calling them "mafia tactics" used to intimidate business owners. And on Thursday, a small group of protesters confronted him outside his newest restaurant, La Bodeguita de Mima, on East Market Street.

The demands and an attached contract, which were created by local organizers and activists, ask NuLu business owners to:

• Adequately represent the Black population of Louisville by having a minimum of 23% Black staff;
• Purchase a minimum of 23% inventory from Black retailers or make a recurring monthly donation of 1.5% of net sales to a local Black nonprofit or organization;
• Require diversity and inclusion training for all staff members on a bi-annual basis;
• And display a visible sign that increases awareness and shows support for the reparations movement.

Phelix Crittenden, an activist who works with Black Lives Matter Louisville, said the demands and related "NuLu social justice health and wellness ratings" were not meant to be a threat but were instead intended to start a conversation

Definition of terrorism:

the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

They should try the Sicilians. And maybe the Russians.

Starting a conversation with a list of DEMANDS seems pretty cut and dry. If I have a sign that reads OUR LIST OF TALKING POINTS then that's a different story. Pretty clear where BLM is heading with this.

Go say that to korean business owners...

Great job fellas. Get the Hispanic population against you. What bubble do these people live in? Then again these tactics worked quite well on guilty whites so I guess they are just looking to repeat past success. I think they'll find a distinct attitude from other ethnicities.

Now top article on dailymail, so millions have now seen it.

Any estimate on the number of "Fucks Given" about their "Demands"?...you know my answer...

They don't want you to read it, they want you to accept it or die.

How about the members of certain communities fuck right off??

Notice the white people behind that sign.

Notice the white people behind that sign.

As a non-white person, I genuinely believe white guilt is a bigger problem than racism in this country and it's not even close.

Racists suck, and I don't want anything to do with them, which is convenient because they generally don't want anything to do with me. The nice thing is that they really aren't able to create widespread policies based on their views. By contrast, all these bleeding-heart, modern day "white man's burden" warriors are actively trying to destroy the country as penance for their ancestors' (perceived) sins and they're influencing policies at every level of government and society.

Some, sorry, most of what I see in America these days I find to be hilarious as well as ridiculous.

This racism issue, my best guess... The real issue is about 20% of what is talked about everyday in the news.

This white guilt. Wow. Guilty about what? I am proud to say that I have zero guilt in regards to my skin tone and even less guilt about where and whom I come from.

I have never had privilege. Not real or imagined by today's people.

I do not care who hates who.

These types of shakedowns? I do not care who is doing them or why. Disgusting been n, all of them.

Love it. Anybody ever accepting one iota of blame for something they did not do is a lie and when it's generational it is a profound lie. Guilt over ancestors' actions is I believe why Germany is actively self-destructing. Modern germans feels guilty over WWII, which is utterly disgusting. Savages hold people responsible for things their ancestors did. Ironically it's borne out of the same thing that motivates racism: that you are to blame for something you had no control over and can't possibly have had control over (your race).

Funny you mention it, I did foreign exchange to Germany when I was in high school. Out of the 2 weeks when we had to go to classes, I was unlucky enough to have had history class there for the week when they cover post-WWII history. Man, it was pathetic and sad. Me and my buddies did our best to skip it and explore Berlin or grab a beer. They fully embrace the "sins of my (grand)father" approach. It was something like 90% guilt trip and 10% detached, factual analysis of historical events.

I mever really got exposed to that kind of indoctrinating history education when I was younger, but as soon as I started to hear about how leftists teach or want to teach history that way, I right away drew the connection with history class in Germany and remembered how awful that crap was. It's basically child abuse to try to make kids feel the weight of guilt for something they weren't even alive for and that some of their ancestors may have not only not been a part of, but actually opposed.

Blaming people solely due to the color of their skin is the definition of racism.

But this is just the way of the leftist.

"We will judge you by your race, because we aren't racist".

"If you disagree with us politically we will assault you because we are anti-facist"

"we will burn down your business because we are protesting peacefully"

"We demand women allow men in their locker rooms and bathrooms because we are feminists"

The list goes on and on. Whatever they claim to be, they are the opposite.

The real danger is that the media never calls them out on it.

These are not protesters, they are terrorists.

Big surprise there is not and there will not be a big back lash against BLM supporters because they actually have no problem with this kind of brutish behavior.
