Portland Group Hosts ‘Reparations Happy Hour’

Posted at 6:31 pm on May 26, 2018 by Kira Davis


The idea of reparations for African Americans is nothing new. One clever young man even managed to get his local Starbucks to provide him with free coffee as “reparations” for their now infamous incident.

An activist group took the idea a step farther. “Brown Hope” hosted a “Reparations Happy Hour” at a Portland, OR bar.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

   I thought about 'Members Only' right off the bat @Sanguine but I have faith that my fellow Breifers are in fact not a bunch of closet Rasict and can discuss this without bringing up Lincoln or Andersonville

No, I was thinking that if I lived close, I'd stop by for a free cup of coffee.  Women should have reparations, too, right?  If that what-passes-for-thinking is followed, I should get free coffee.

And I should get at least a half a cup free.   *****rollingeyes*****

And sadly, that is what passes for "thinking" by these idiots.   If you're whitey, you owe somebody for being white.  But we don't wanna be racist, or anything like that, natch.

I have a brown hope most mornings if I have too much caffeine.

  We can't even do 'Happy Hours' in Texas due to TABC code.

Don't worry. This isn't "Conservative Media". It's a blog.

What are you talking about. The link you posted says you can have happy hours....

Can a bar have a $2 vodka well drink from opening until 2:00am?

TABC Rule 45.103 requires that "happy hour" prices end at 11:00 pm. Nothing would preclude a retailer from offering a drink special from opening to closing time; however, if such practice induces a consumer to drink to excess or causes the retailer to not be able to monitor or control consumption by consumers, the retailer will be liable for engaging in a practice to induce a consumer to drink to excess. 16 TAC 45.103 (c)(11).
