In NM, an Italian restaurant owner, put "black olives matter" on his sign outside. The chef wears an apron with that slogan along with the owner. BLM member saw that sign and wanted him to take it down because it was "racist". Owner refused and said its all in fun and his black olives are shipped from Italy and are the best. He started getting death threats. He went public and people started calling him to tell him don't remove the sign his business tripled. This is getting crazy with BLM . They are bullies. They are just a bunch of thugs. 4951

Screw 'em. It's the attention they want. Media stops publicizing their actions and they dry up and blow away. 4951

I don't know, I feel like the joke was in poor taste in the first place. 4951

@ET:  I agree, but the media thrives on publicizing things that may lead to violence.  The media would love to see a race riot or outright racial war break out.  I saw a video where a white man was trying to ask why a BLM protest was blocking a highway and he immediately was cursed and told to F+++ off and go away.  Before they keep pushing towards a racial war, blacks should consider that they make up only about 15% of this nations population.  BTW, I love black olives!

They have a website: shop.paisanosabq.com /products/black-oliv es-matter-tee-shirtI like the idea because it just shows just how small-minded and racist the BLM movement is. Where has all this hyper-sensitivity come from? Can't say all lives matter, can't say olives matter, where does it end?

I agree that it is poor taste, I feel it is belittling what the BLM movement was for in the first place. It was for black lives to be treated and looked at the same. Of course everything matters. Everyone already knows that, Why belittle the movement. 4951

The movement has turned into a violent group of people (thugs) who love when a cop is killed. If they feel that black lives matter, then why don't they matter when the kids in the inner cities are murdered, some while in their own homes. I feel all lives matter. Just look at Milwaukee , an African American cop shoots an African American felon who pointed a gun at him. BLM calls for protests. So is that cop just suppose to get shot ? Even my black friends (they say they aren't from Africa and so they don't like that term) say BLM is nothing but organized thugs. We all bleed red. All lives matter. If a bad cop shoots an unarmed non threatening suspect, no matter the color, he should be charged. By singling black lives, that makes it extremely racist. I don't like racism, either way. 4951

I would have more respect for the BLM movement if they first addressed the black-on-black crime that is MUCH worse than policemen killing blacks (most in the commission of a crime). 4951

Absolutely RE. When in Chicago, forty people are shot in one weekend every weekend, and the BLM doesn't open their mouths, they lose their credibility . 4951

Black olives are the only ones I like, and some of them are better than others. I'm not anti-green or Greek olives, just don't enjoy eating them. Emoticon 4951
