Racial dispute at beloved bakery roils liberal college town
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 10, 2017 | Dake Kang

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

“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!”

The racial aspect is it didn’t work this time. Maybe they learned a lesson.

It’s the whites that are crying racism here.

“Gibson’s has become all that is wrong with America,” Berstein said. “It’s a classic case of those political bubbles that don’t communicate with each other, and don’t want to.”


We have been having a “conversation” about race since the 60s——————racial relations are worse than ever.

I would strongly advice Mr Berstein to go live in South Africa.

Dave Gibson, the bakery's owner, says the lawsuit is about standing up for his right to crack down on shoplifting without being branded as a racist. The suit says Oberlin demanded that he stop pushing criminal charges on first-time shoplifters and call school deans instead.

Maybe Oberlin should cut one of their sensitivity classes for freshman and replace it with a class that teaches the new students that theft is wrong and illegal.

Along with remedial English and math maybe they need remedial morality.

Have you included the teaching and administrative staff? And as for students, the town wherein I lived closed the doors of their markets if/when one or the other or both of their colleges halted classes because of unrest, leaving the student population free time to gut the stores.

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.

Sometimes I think I am living in an Outer Limits episode.

I really don’t recognize this as the United States I grew up in.

For that matter, the entire world doesn’t make any sense anymore. What was the Free World after WW II that had conquered Fascism has now embraced that hideous ideology while calling it Progressivism.

Bottom line is this bakery has been boycotted and lost thousands of dollars in business because they stopped three black students from shoplifting wine. PLUS the towns police record shows that through the years the bakery has gone after 40 shoplifters with only 6 of them being black. So there is no racism. Just don’t steal from them.

The three students arrested at Gibson's pleaded guilty in August to attempted theft and aggravated trespassing and said in statements required by a plea agreement that their actions were wrong and that the store wasn't racist.

That's all that need to be published. The other blather is meant to muddy the waters.

It's more or less like the 'so called' father of the boy who shop-lifted in China. Guilt transference to the president is his only thank you. Here racism is reported to be the real culprit in many people's eyes.

It's called:

O W N E R S H I P . R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y

...for one's own actions.

China wasn't wrong. Trump wasn't wrong. The Bakery wasn't wrong.

Thugs and hoodlums were.

Moral peacocking. Showing off how moral they are by protesting and bullying their neighbors in the name of the oppressed.

True, in fact they are downright morose, with bad attitudes. However, most are bull-dykes and munchers.

How common is it for bakeries to sell wine? Catering to people who like to drink a glass of wine with their morning donut?

It is the lily white liberal establishment that is calling the shop racist and being sued.

I call the, WURL's White Urban Liberals.

What a terrible travesty. I hope they win their lawsuit, with generous damages, enough to move the store to a better location.

FTA: “The three students were arrested after punching and kicking the white shopkeeper. The 18- and 19-year-old students said that they were racially profiled and that their only crime was trying to buy alcohol with fake identification; the shopkeeper, Allyn Gibson, said the students attacked him after he caught them trying to steal bottles of wine.”

This is what actually happened. The plea agreement doesn’t tell us what the real story was.

She reminds of a Mark Dice video he put out the other day about some white female mayor trying to force feed the white privilege card down everyone’s throat. One lady council member didn’t like that...then the mayor starts throwing the racist card around and gets spanked. Childlike people they are.
