Back to Eden, a chain of vegan bakeries that prides itself on commitment to social justice, found itself under fire over an allegation of racism. The previous night, Lillian Green, who is African-American and an anti-racism activist, posted two videos on Facebook claiming that one of the bakery’s outlets denied her service just after closing time, even though two white women were denied service. The two employees were fired. Ms. Green sets back progress for actual issues.
OP is worse than Hitler.

R1 this is to expose the Fraudster's name & face. Things like this makes white people hesitant around POC, as in avoidance.

How is Twitter taking this? Are they on her side or the fired employees side? She’s clearly in the wrong and the bakery admitted the employees didn’t do anything wrong.

Yelp had to close down reviews of the bakery. People were siding with the employees. Some were pretty funny.

This is why so many no longer take the accusations of racism with but a grain of salt.
She has harmed her community more with this act than she could help it in a lifetime.

They did her a favour. As far as pastries go, she's had sufficient.

When did “POC” become an acceptable term?
I thought they didn’t like colored and it was either black or African American.
I can’t keep up.

POC means anyone who is not Wonder Bread white.

Well, she's obviously getting her carbs from somewhere.

She's insufferable. Businesses do have the right to refuse service, ESPECIALLY when it is closing time.

She could only get away with it by having enablers. In this case, the bakery owners. I blame them as the ones doing evil, not her. She's just an unhappy customer. The owners are the ones who took away the livelihood of two people just for the thrill of hurting people and displaying their virtue.

Watch the two fired employees turn into foaming-at-the-mouth alt-righters.
I’d bet money on it.

r21, the owners stated in their post that most of their employees are LGBTQ or PoC, which incidentally might get them in trouble if they are deliberately discriminating in their hiring. The chance of them being "alt-righters" is next to zero.

The employees would be smart to reject any ideology or party that did this to them.

From a news story about this:
[quote] One commenter to [the bakery owner's] May 11 [FB] post [apologizing for Green not being served] wrote, “You need to be paying Lillian for this emotional labor, and she absolutely needs to be paid if she is meeting with you. Women of color do not exist as free tools for white people to learn how to not be racist.”

There are some people who just love to revel in their oppression. They go out of their way to look for it, and when they can't find it they hunt it down like prey. And, R8 is correct: she's done more harm than good with this stunt.
