ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – A group of students at the University of New Mexico put on a bake sale Thursday afternoon, charging students based on their race.
They served up baked goods with a message not everyone wanted to hear.
“The sign is supposed to be racist because it’s showcasing what affirmative action means,” William Witt said.
Witt and the rest of the group are part of the youth conservative national organization known as Turning Point USA. On its website, the organization states its mission is to “identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.”

According to Witt, the group set up the bake sale around 11 a.m. By 1:30 p.m., some students who didn’t agree with the group’s message started to get rowdy.
“The people that I was with decided that they were hiding their bigotry and prejudice behind their civility, and we decided that our voice was going to be louder than theirs,” Ryan Sindon said. “We exercised our free speech to the point where they felt that they needed to leave.”

Hitler had a kind of "bake sale" based on race too.
These things never work out.

Guy pissed at bake sale:
Pretty sure free speech doesn't involve destruction of property Mr. Sindon.

“We had tons of people who wanted to have great conversations, but once people start yelling, destroying stuff and breaking everything on the table, it makes it tough to have good discussions,” Witt said.

Oh, so threatening people with Free Speech is okay again? Just have to be on "the right side"?

Was actually pissed at affirmative action. He probably didn't see it that way though.

They've been doing versions of the "affirmative action bakesale" for like 25 years now.

And that little reality sandwich never fails to piss someone off.

This same thing happens in the hood when you try and buy drugs.
The white boy tax.

I bet Ryan is also a fervent anti-bullying proponent like the rest of his non-self-aware ilk.

"We decided to inject meaning into their message for them in order to justify our childish behavior, that we may justify our immature virtue signalling. Fascist tactics are cool!"

Sounds like they hated the tactics that they themselves benefit from in many aspects of life.

I'm only interested in the prices.

Business owners should be able to decide on price and whom they want to do business with.
