Why Is This Restaurant Selling “Black Olives Matter†T-Shirts?
Yup, same one.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/16/why-is-this-restaurant-selling-black-olives-matter-t-shirts.html
“Black Olives Matter.â€
That’s the slogan used by a restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico to promote their new tuna and black olive tapenade dish.
After generating controversy in July for using that play on words on the restaurant’s sign, Paisano’s Italian restaurant has chosen to sell merchandise using the same play off the “Black Lives Matter†movement’s slogan.
Though Paisano’s owner Rick Camuglia reportedly agreed to take down the message from Paisano’s marquee back in July after complaints from the Albuquerque NAACP among others, he apparently sees no problem in making some quick cash from the BLM catchphrase.
One of my Facebook faves is in ABQ. If I ever get over there, we will be getting our Italian on elsewhere!
So the thread plays out about how you would expect but NuclearDem inadvertently states the truth

6. Because it's a play on the phrase Black Lives Matter.
Good Lord, some people need to get off their fainting couches.

8. Why?
NuclearDem (15,990 posts)
9. Because treating every perceived slight against progressive causes as blasphemy and bigotry
makes us look ****ing stupid to the rest of the world. They took a topical phrase and made a play on it, and we're treating it like they're refusing to seat black patrons.

10. Why?
NuclearDem (15,990 posts)
12. Because obviously they're racist and support the police murdering unarmed black men.
There, was that answer you were looking for?
NuclearDem is skating close to the edge. On the other hand Iris seems to be a bit slow...

I read that earlier,they actually want to enshrine some "speech" as untouchable.
The founding fathers looked 225 years into the future and recoiled in horror at the modern left.

DU humor is very partisanly (yes, I know I'm adverbizing an adjective) situational:
* Suggesting eradication of conservatives as genetically defective is seen as funny;
* A take-off on a Prog cause's slogan is racism that must be demonized.

This pretty much sums up the DU. It also applies if you substitute "DU outrage" for "DU humor".

They need a Racist Boogeyman Go app. Like Pokemon Go they can get points, level achievements, and whatever else during their tireless searches high and low, and in every corner for Racist Boogeymen.

I'm going to buy the 'Black Olives Matter' t-shirt, and wear it around. It will be like baiting the field for stealth DUmmies and SJWs!
-
SVPete, you adverbized an adjective! :rulez:
I think "Black Olives Matter" is cute as hell. My husband is such a bigot, he can't stand them. I love them.
Here's another cute play on words I saw on FB. "I'm not a racist. I love all races. Except marathons. **** running."

I'm safe, my longest ever was 17.46 miles, in July (~5.5 hours). This coming Sunday is a 10K in a redwood forest, but no marathons, yet.
Oh, and H-5!

NuclearDem! I knew there was some conservative in ya! Ok, what's his name?

Gina, she's married to a somewhat conservative. Military-type I think. It makes her the only half-way sane one over there. The fact that she doesn't have that automatic, kneejerk hatred of anything republican makes her a little more grounded.

A you thinking of Nuclear Unicorn or NuclearDem...or both?
-
Oh, I was thinking of the Unicorn. I checked the quote up top and it was the Dem. Sounded like something the Unicorn would say.
-
I agree, Black Olives Matter.
Of course, they start shifting themselves to a part of the salad where they don't belong and we could have issues. :-)

If you knew, you would be sorry you knew, just to let you know.

Sorry, Gina, wrong primitive.
What Karin said.
In the meantime, a really important post; it's urgent that all decent and civilized people take a look at it.
Seriously.

And you MISSED the made-for-TV-moment to look at your son and say solemnly and slowly: "Son... black olives matter."???

I did, yes. But still the Black olives joke generated laughter by all, so it was still a win
