Wouldn’t asking customers to bring in their W-2 to decide this be a better factor? What a disrespectful stance for this owner to take against black and white people. Why does this racist think all black people are poor and white people are rich? I thought one of the welfare talking points was that ‘there are a lot more whites on welfare than blacks’.

I don't know if this guy knows anything about restaurants, but it's readily obvious, STATS ain't his game.

If I was a wealthy black guy and was in there eating watching this stupidity unfold, I would be pissed that the owners of this ridiculous libtard restaurant assumed that I was poor because I was black. I know a ton of wealthy black people. This is stupid and racist.

This is already the policy of every non-fast food restaurant in the entire country. It’s called tipping.


Ouch - it's funny because it's (mostly) true.

Demonstrably true.

There's more stupid white folks than stupid black folks, too. (And Florida would do well all on its own.)

Whites are going to win a lot of these, just in the aggregate.

According to Civil Eats, the pop-up called Saartj gives white customers — and only white customers — the option to pay "$12 for lunch or the suggested price of $30" while black customers are "charged $12 and also given the option to collect the $18 paid by a white patron as a way to redistribute wealth."


What the actual frick?

Do white people actually want to eat “Nigerian cuisine”? The pics of the food look horrible!

How come none of these liberal social experiments ever include marrying your boyfriend before having his baby, or getting a decent education, or developing some skills, or getting a damn job?

Instead, their social experiments are aimed at tearing down someone that has achieved something to make the shittier social group feel better about itself.

It seems to me that this place is a tax shelter at best, and a money laundromat at worst. There is no way you can open a restaurant in the food capital of the world, serving only those two menu items, and expect to be successful.



This. He's an SJW activist likely funded by the usual sources and using this restaurant as a front/tax shelter to score political points and make a name for himself.

I'm sure he'll be making the rounds on Bill Maher, Lawrence O'Donnell, guest lecturing at Howard, guest-writing at HuffPo, etc - if not for this specific project than for some other such project down the road.

Pissing off whitey is generally a poor marketing tactic in a country with 200 million of them

I think those two wankers would have to take the $18 extra out of their right pockets and put it in the left pockets.

$30 for 2 courses of Nigerian food?

Wouldn't 30 bucks feed all of Nigeria? And this guy is wasting the food on white people?

I can get a box deal at hardees or taco bell for 5 bucks. They won't try to shame me and rip me off because of my skin tone.

What if I identify as black when I get ready to pay my bill? Liberals tell us that sex and race are fluid and one can identify as whatever they please.

I think everyone on the PT should go one weekend and bitch about the service and food and demand we don't have to pay for this garbage.

If I went dressed as a Confederate monument...would I still be asked to pay the additional amount? Also, if I refused...would the city charge taxpayers to remove me?

Would this be considered price discrimination of a "public accommodation" under the Civil Rights Act?

Sounds like the participation is voluntary for both parties involved

Personally if I was black I'd find it insulting

Nor is catering to a demographic that isn't adventurous with eating out

He should park in the hood and watch what happens.
