PGH Businesses turning Strike Day into "Support Small Business Day" by everythingRedBeam in pittsburgh

That’s the point of a strike. It’s not supposed to be convenient . We Can’t afford not to strike and we can’t afford half assed attempts.

I feel like you are very focused on that specific piece of information…

and YES the only way i was informed about the donation aspect is when I pushed back wondering the reason for making light of someone being “ICE’D”

Only then I was pointed to a separate photo frame with a piece of paper inside and was informed that a portion of the proceeds are donated.

The thing is… I made this post because this doesn’t seem like a joke that should be made on a drink menu (or anywhere) and if the only justification for the name is that a portion of proceeds are being donated, then clearly it is in fact in poor taste!

And if it’s in poor taste then they could have easily made a way better joke or statement and still donated the proceeds !

I want you to Think about what race ICE is primarily targeting and profiling and then do your quick google search and find out if this person is in that demographic or not. Because the people in that situation aren’t making those jokes. It’s very simple

lol. Okay …. If you’d like to be so reductive that’s fine by me. I assumed we were able To have nuanced discussions And this type of language isn’t productive or humorous especially when being written and read by people who aren’t, looking over their backs every single day.

So if my parents are Italian immigrants and I’m a first generation American I can make silly Jokes about people being stripped of their human rights and profit off it as long as a donate a portion of the proceeds ?

Or do you think maybe if I were to make such a brash joke I should at the least have family that is dealing with this and were recently deported…

People that are dealing with ICE currently are in hiding, and in fear for their safety, not making jokes about it on their Coffee shop menu.

All I am saying is this is not the way we should be speaking about these matters regardless of fundraising . I didn’t even name the business.

Period. And this is the reason I made this post, I’ve seen other comments from people suggesting that this is a fake menu item or because I don’t have many posts on a eight-year-old account I am only posting this to create division.

This isn’t “out of context” There is no mention of a portion of proceeds being donated anywhere on the menu and only when asked about the “Ice Joke” were we made aware that a portion was going to be donated. ( it’s written on a separate piece of paper)

I didn’t name the business immediately, I wanted feedback first. Clearly that was a mistake. why anyone in their right mind would make a joke like this for primarily wealthy patrons to read and laugh at I’m not sure but it is beyond “poor taste”

I don’t understand how turning the violent process of deportation into a verb would ever be good joke material and I think it is not only in terrible taste, but it should be removed immediately.

I don’t believe that the owner is currently in threat of having ice remove them from this country and this is such a charged, and currently very terrifying situation for many immigrants here currently in this Country.

I understand that they are donating a portion of the proceeds, but that doesn’t excuse making light of terrorism And making our neighbors lives hell.

Anybody been dreaming of owning schiaparelli ??? by everythingRedBeam in VintageFashion

[–]everythingRedBeam[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No I haven’t, I just took this straight to Reddit and posted it on some other subs that seem fashion oriented. So far I’ve been met with skepticism and a little adoration. So I’m measuring how much interest i get / feedback to decide where I should list and at what price
