“Refusing to pay more comes off as anti-social and people don’t want to be judged for that.” – Black Restaurant Owner
“Agreeing to take stranger’s money for a meal when you have the money to pay for your own meal is degrading, and people don’t want to be seen like that.” -Reasonable Human Being
Question- Does it matter at all if a white couple happens to make less than every other black customer in the restaurant? Probably not.
This guy is in the throes of a genius idea. We shouldn’t stop him with any thoughts and notions that might confuse him.
As part of a month-long “social experiment,” a pop-up restaurant in New Orleans is asking white customers to pay extra for their meal in the name of wealth redistribution.
According to Civil Eats, the pop-up called Saartj gives white customers – and only white customers – the option to pay “$12 for lunch or the suggested price of $30” while black customers are “charged $12 and also given the option to collect the $18 paid by a white patron as a way to redistribute wealth.”
…Wey then asks his white customers how much they will pay. The “white guilt” definitely pays off, with close to 78% of his white customers paying more than double the required price, according to Wey. This guilt, which Wey calls “positive social pressure,” is entirely intentional and designed to elicit payment.
“Refusing to pay more comes off as anti-social and people don’t want to be judged for that,” Wey said.
“After looking at the preliminary data collected from the survey, one of the most interesting results is that of 70 or so diners, 76 percent of the Black diners refused to take the $18 that they were offered,” reports Civil Eats.
Why would any self-respecting black person take the money? And why doesn’t this black restaurant owner think blacks are self-respecting?
I figure if the owner has such an attitude toward whites, odds are great that they would spit in my food.
@Manbearpig: Not if you pay the extra 18 dollars, they won’t.
P.S. – Did you really think it was guilt driving 78% of his white customers to pay more?
😉
Colleges gave free education to black people and 87% didnt take it at all.
Hey I am a “little” larger than normal and more intelligent and was a foster kid and am a veteran – does that mean I should make you pay for my lunch?
Should I be owed reparations for not having a family (missed all those Christmas presents, dammit) when I was a kid?
I was a persecuted kid – red head and freckles – nobody wants that red headed step child so now you gotta pay!!!!!
I would watch him make the sandwich, hear him ask the question, look at the sandwich, look at his face, then walk away.
Even though it is a “suggestion,”
there HAS to be some legal way
for Whites to sue the black ass off this racist owner.
I hope someone DOES…
…BEFORE the “free market” shuts him down.
How about those customers who identify as black? Do they get the $18?
They were ambushed. Of course a lot paid. With a hostile surprise robbery you tend to just want to make it out alive. What else may they spring on you?
Sadly, only a small percentage of us would laugh in their faces at such an offer and walk away since they have their reaction for that moment in the can – you’re a racist if you don’t – and everyone knows this unwritten but just restated rule by the owner.
“Refusing to pay more comes off as anti-social and people don’t want to be judged for that,”
That’s not a straight-up honest choice. This is robbery the victim agrees to for whatever reasons.
I’d like to know how many were repeat customers after that “deal” was offered and they chose to pay.
What a fearful and weird life they must lead if they came back for more abuse.

What a great idea! Marxist social and economic policies always turn out great. How long until his black customers have to murder kulaks to punish their hoarding?
There is a small country store south of here that is owned and operated by blacks. They operate a two tier system whereby they charge “crackers” approximately 50% more than “brothers”. This is neither advertised nor disclosed, but discovered through multiple observations. I purchased a soda there once.

If this really played out whites are not going to return again and blacks gladly taking the free meal plus $18 are going to be showing up 3 times a day bankrupting this moron. The John Galt reality of redistribution.
I would take four big bites and walk out without paying. You can’t curse with that much in your mouth.
Just another reason to stay out of that shit hole city.
I am heartened by the number of black folk who refused to take the re-distributed money, as well as the number who wanted to pay into the pot themselves.
A glimmer of hope for America’s future….? ….Lady in Red
A deep thinker like that probably doesn’t know how to run the restaurant right,either.
“Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”
I know a whole family of black patrons that would not only take the extra cash and free food, but would frequent the restaurant.
The Obamas.
Barry has vivid recollections of doors locking as he crosses the street and Mooch, well, she’s always deserving as are their ugly kids.
Refusing to add $1 to my purchase for some charity is also considered anti-social. I tend to look at it as being a wise consumer, after all, the only reason I’m in WalMart is to save a buck.
I would just turn around and walk out to never return.
Rich leftist politicians, movie stars, etc. should redistribute their wealth. If not they should be hounded endlessly to do so lest they be judged as hypocrites (which of course they are). Time to turn the tables and use alinsky tactics against them.
Kinda hard to redistribute THIS “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil whitey-devil’s” money, if I DON’T eat there, huh?
:dumbass:
Shit this black restaurants can keep there chicken and watermelon. I don’t eat in restaurants like that.
So what would happen if….
Black were encouraged to pay more than (name the race).
Racism….is racism no matter the twisted reasoning.
So, the going rate for a black life is $18.
Got it…
Isn’t that what welfare is; blacks taking money from whites
Front man for the “new” government of South Africa?
I self-identify as non-white.
I’m adopted and self-identify as black, thank you for the free food and where is my $18?
I loved this stuff. I hope Blacks keep pushing with discrimination/segregation of Whites. Once the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is no longer worth it’s weight in paper…. Hello pre 1950’s America.
