    Default Cuban restaurant owner in Louisville reveals how BLM sent him blackmail letter

    Not sure what it would take to convince BLM supporters that they are a vile organisation akin to the Mafia. This is no different to a good old fashioned protection racket.

    A Cuban restaurant owner in Louisville is slamming Black Lives Matter activists for sending him and other small business owners a list of diversity demands that they were told to meet or risk repercussions like 'having their store fronts 'f****d with'.

    The letter went out to business owners in East Market District in Louisville, also known as NuLu, during a protest on July 24 that forced some of the businesses in the area to close.

    It demanded that businesses employ at least 23 percent black staff, bought at least 23 percent of their inventory from black retailers or make a recurring donation of 1.5 percent of their net sales to a local black charity, and that they should display a sign showing their support for the movement.

    It also listed a series of 'repercussions' if the businesses didn't comply which included a boycott, social media shaming, and an 'invasive reclamation' whereby black owned businesses with competing goods of services would set up 'booths and tables' outside the store fronts.

    They say that the neighborhood has been able to flourish after the demolition of a housing project in the 2000s that robbed the black community of opportunities and wiped out their homes.

    Fernando Martinez, who owns La Bodeguita de Mima, claims that one of the activists warned him: 'You better put the letter on the door so your business is not f*cked with.'

    Has it got to the stage that nobody is surprised by anything BLM does now, should it be called the Black League Mafia?
