"So show up with some Mexican friends and some Native American friends "

If blacks get 45% off, then Native American should get more and should get a clear accounting of how the discount was figured.

I identify as 3 blacks!

Where can I pick up my 3 bikes?

Pay full price and then sue them for racial discrimination...class action lawsuit.

They have gotten woke—now is the time for them to go broke!

[Old Yeller]

More black privelege. It never ends.

What if you are biracial with light brown skin? Or if you are Rachel Dazell?

[Deplorable American1776]

Well regarded bike brand? Never heard of Rivendell Bicycles...

Must be well regarded in China...😀

Walnut Creek CA - 1.9% black.

“Affirmative Action Bake Sales” ...

They really used to irritate libs!

[jimfree]

Remembering various other businesses that surrendered profitability to wokeness.

[Captain Compassion]

Racist much?

[Persevero]

It is illegal. Whites or Asians or Jews etc should sue.

[Do_Tar]

> Well technically they are charging whites 45% more aren’t they?

Actually they’re charging 80% more.
100-45%=55
55+80%=99

The management team looks gay...

That’s 10% has to come from somewhere, and it sure as hell isn’t comming out of their profits. So, it must be passed on to their Asaian and White customers - sort of penalty for their race. Sure, that sounds legal.

[Newbomb Turk]

Looks like a sad, fat, gay, liberal to me.

[vpintheak]

Isn’t it illegal to discriminate based on race?

[T.B. Yoits]

So now the retailer is offering the discount to everyone, either directly to a black customer or to a non-black customer via a black middleman.

Is there an additional discount if the black customer is homosexual? What if they're transgender?
What physiological percentage of the customer has to be "black"? How would the store clerk know?

All that said, I agree with this promotion. Let the Left support the very thing they claim to oppose and let the customers know that they're overcharging non-black customers. Let the market decide if some customers want to subsidize others. This promotion also correctly points out the hypocrisy of Affirmative Discrimination. It's like the bake sales on college campuses where the price is based on race. There are hysterical videos online of students freaking out when the hypocrisy is exposed.

It's okay to be white. (You can look up hysterical videos on that as well).

Actually they’re charging 80% more.

Truedat. Just generalizing there didn't calculate like you did, thanks.

How long will they remain in business with only black customers?

Depends on whether they are making a profit or not at the discounted price, and if they are I should think their product is over priced and they would lose all their other customers. Strange times indeed.
