KamaAina (76,687 posts)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.†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!

NuclearDem (15,990 posts) 9. Because treating every perceived slight against progressive causes as blasphemy and bigotrymakes 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.

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?
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.
...Here's another cute play on words I saw on FB. "I'm not a racist. I love all races. Except marathons. **** running."
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.
NuclearDem! I knew there was some conservative in ya! Ok, what's his name?
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.comment 3268:http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=81827.3250Seriously. I kid you not.
Another DUmp pedophile...wonder what the percentage of the non mole ones is.
And doing his foul work near where the big guy in Bellevue lives. I wonder if they're acquainted.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
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.
Probably an understudy.
wonders how they found that out.
Ahem -- HERE is why:
I'll take two, and they can keep the t-shirts.
