I just read. Of course they offer no real solution
Idk, it seems like these posts pandering to the black community and the overt effort to make these places inclusive isn’t going to end well. It’s almost more insulting to them
Do it organically without talking about it imo. I don’t think it’s this big conversation that needs to be had. You can only do so much monetarily in a restaurant. The margins are too slim. It’ll take a whole reworking of the system to pay people more. Ethically speaking, doesn’t it start with just not being a shitty person?

What can you really do, though (asking this towards the people demanding change)? If black people aren't applying for employment at a particular business or in a particular industry, what can you really do?
Imagine if these businesses start putting out ads for black employees wanted. Besides the fact that it would fall solidly under discrimination, I feel like black people would be offended at that because they aren't interested in being someone's quota or diversity hire.
There's a big difference in qualified black candidates being turned down vs. simply not having black applicants.
I agree that the dramatic apologies are stupid, though. Continue to live your life not being racist and don't get too caught up in this kind of stuff. But then again, I don't know anything about this place. If it caters to hipsters (who tend to be left leaning), their business might be on the line if they don't speak up.
Some of the other places they've called out, like DD and Link restaurants, will be just fine ignoring it.
