If the management of the restaurant can’t control their scene, they deserve to lose business.

In December, the inaugural group of Black Brunch participants headed to ROCKRIDGE, a gentrified neighborhood in Oakland that isn’t “very inclusive to a lot of black folks and people of color,”

************************************************

Wow, is this the same Rockridge town from Blazing Saddles???

************************************************

The song played during the invasion of Rock Ridge by thugs; from the movie Blazing Saddles. The Ballad of Rock Ridge:

Hmmm.....

Go to Church instead of brunch.

They won’t bother you there.

So we don’t have the right to eat on Sunday without being bothered?

We need to counter the whole, ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’, with placards and t-shirts that say, ‘Sit down, shut up!’

I’m sure these juvenile antics will be confined to liberal bastions. Poetic justice, in that these diners are part of the Democratic Plantation establishment.

I relish the day they try this in the South.

Exactly. People should just roll their eyes and ignore them.

Fine, a bunch of us honkies could go to a Sunday black church social and insist upon four and a half minutes to read to them the names of white people who have been killed or maimed by the black “knock out games”. You know, just to make them ALL a little uncomfortable, in order to “call attention” to what a few of them have done.

Get a “conversation” going. But then, we would cease being “activists” and become a public nuisance at the point we walk onto private property, to exercise this newly discovered “right”, and disrupt a public gathering that really isn’t interested in our intrusion, now wouldn’t we?

Who wants to bet we wouldn’t get arrested and prosecuted?

Don’t they have any respect for our ethnic traditions?

The list of effective suggestions for stopping the bother is short.

Your dream has come true Martin. Consider the character content of "your children" judged.
