The title comes from Steve’s post “BLM Demands Businesses Post Loyalty Letters and Make Protection Payments“. This wasn’t (and hasn’t been) about racial harmony. You WILL accede to our demands has nothing to do with righting wrongs.

I’m picking through my list of tabs and came across what the Black Live Matters version of “a shame if something would happen to it” would be like. KKK or an updated version of a Mafia “ask” (“ask” – you know, like Bernie Sanders is “asking” private citizens to give Govt $100 billion of their wealth (which Bruce Currie called “a contribution”). If the business people who the were the object of this shakedown didn’t ante up, here’s what was going to happen:
A local reporter posted the following five “repercussions of non-compliance” that were reportedly included in the letter:
- Reduction in Racial Index Score/bias report to the Better Business Bureau.
- Social Media Blast: Notification, via all social media platforms, of non-compliance.
- Boycott: Public boycott, coordinated through social media and mail announcements, of your NuLu establishment AND any other business ventures owned by you.
- Protest: Visible, media-covered demonstration/sit-in outside your establishment.
- Invasive Reclamation: Placement of booths/tables outside your establishment where competing Black proprietors will offer items comparable to those offered by you.
Now, this could be effective with folks that are “unattached” with the current race-baiting that is now going on (and how could you possibly call this other than anything else?). That said, more people are getting wind of the Seattle / Portland / Chicago / NYC / Boston / Oakland / ad nauseum violence and BLM now acting like thugs. Do as we demand or we’ll put you out of business. We don’t care that the Government lockdown almost put you out of business – we have our alternatives that will result in the same outcome.
Government or BLM – what’s the difference if the outcome is the same?
Peaceful Protesters? Hardly – these are folks with axes to grind and are taking advantage of what the Democrats have wrought.
