This sounds like something that everyone needs to abuse with wreckless abandon to make it go away

Every Biden sign you see is a call to the news for racism

Sounds like Yelp is begging to get their azzes sued.

Nope. Not at all.

Let the defamation lawsuits commence.

IDGAF. I'll go to these on purpose. Undoubtedly they will all be fake as F.

business that has been accused of "overtly racist actions" that have been covered by the media.

Why won't they post links to articles that shed positive light on a business as well?

*not their mission

Does Yelp need permission from a business to add their profile?


Good question. I would certainly opt out at this point or not join if I were a new business.

Risk outweighs the reward. If review is to stand, reviewer’s contact information should be posted for all to see and for owner to take up separately and privately.

Some sensitive white boy will probably report the new Black-owned coffee shop in Shreveport.

quote:

In addition to selling a variety of coffees and pastries, the cafe is presented as a place for revitalizing the predominantly Black neighborhood, empowering its residents, and celebrating African culture.

“We’re not saying no one else can come to our coffee shop but we want our people to know—this is here for you,” Sims said. “We built this for our people to have something,” Lee said.


LINK

The menu "features items with names and inspirations reflecting African and Black American culture." An Americano coffee is referred to as "Afrikano."

They are proud of their 100% Colombian roasts, but that is a missed marketing opportunity. Plenty of good coffee beans come from African countries such as Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania.

Well that's kind of the point of CRT.

Absolute destruction of western society. It's just marxism in a new shiny, racist package.
