Brooklyn Residents Protest Bar That Used Black Stereotypes To Sell Booze (generation, state)

And who thought this was a good idea?

I suppose the owners, for sure they knew exactly what they were doing, believers in the old adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

And the classic non apology statement ("we're sorry IF anyone was offended").

Dozens of residents in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights are speaking out against a local bar after the owner used a “bullet hole-ridden wall” and 40-ounce rosé to promote her business.

Community members are accusing Becca Brennan of glorifying violence, perpetuating negative stereotypes about black people and engaging in cultural appropriation after a press release for her restaurant Summerhill circulated online last week. The release, which describes the bar as an “oasis,” featured a $12 cocktail pictured in front of a wall described as being marked with bullet holes.

Wait, it's Brooklyn. When I think of bullet ridden walls, I think of Italians, not blacks

Wait. She's wrong for glorifying violence and perpetuating negative stereotypes about black people - and doing these things is engaging in cultural appropriation???


That explains why they're not going after song lyrics and videos for glorifying violence and perpetuating negative stereotypes.

Smart move. It's a distraction so people won't notice it costs $12 for the featured cocktail.

Poor little snowflakes.

This is what dumping an entire generation of kids into daycare has brought us.
