[Common]

Im offended "WHITE OLIVES" are the minority

BLACK OLIVES MATTER' Outrage after restaurant twists ‘Black Lives Matter’ protest slogan on huge billboard advert https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/blackolivesmatter.png?w=898


People have taken to social media to slam the slogan, with Claudia Sanchez writing: “As a woman of color I find your posting offensive and in very bad taste.
“You simply wish to rub salt in an ugly festering wound which evil minded people refuse to allow to heal. The civilized world no longer has any tolerance for your hateful public display of what passes to you as humor.”
Others criticised the restaurant for apparently deleting negative comments.
But others praised the pun, with Russell Berryman writing: “Always love a good play on words. keep up the good work.”
The restaurant’s owner Rick Camuglia told CBS affiliate KRQE: “We didn’t think anybody would be offended by that. It was not our intent to offend anybody.”
The sign has since been taken down by the restaurant and photos of the billboard have been taken down.

What?? Black olives don't matter?

I kind of feel like part of the problem in the US is that people can't seem to learn to laugh at themselves sometimes.

I was chuckling as I posted this, I figured someone would take it literally and call me a racist or something

[Cigar]

It's about time we bring some humor to the subject. :wink:

White olives Matter and black olives are racist

Black olives on pizza and sometimes on a tuna salad sandwich.

Half a green olive to top a deviled egg.

Why are regular olives packaged in glass, while black olives are canned? They don't think black olives want to see out also?

[Standing Wolf]

I don't know that I've ever even seen a white olive.

Then again, I'm from the Midwest, where they call bell peppers "mangoes", so what the Hell do I know.

[JDubya]

Why are regular olives packaged in glass, while black olives are canned? They don't think black olives want to see out also?

Because all olives know that if you're black, you're eventually gonna get canned while all the other olives get to keep seeing lots of green.

I bought some red olives yesterday.

It's a little naive of them to not think it would offend people that are passionate about BLM but yes sometimes people just need to laugh once in a while. Life is too short to always be offended.

[nathanbforrest45]

Olives originated in Africa and the Middle East. Were they brought here as slaves?

Tapenade is made with black Olives. If anyone believes that put that on that billboard for anything else but a laugh is just ridiculous

[Chloe]

Green olives reuse their container for the next set of green olives

[nathanbforrest45]

Why do you hate America?


I don't hate America, I hate the idea that all olives don't matter. This is the land of freedom for all fruits and vegetables. All olives should have the opportunity to shine and their diversity celebrated. Where else can you find olives gracing Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern dishes at the same table?


Disclaimer: I hate stuffed olives.

"BOYCOTT"

I call for a boycott until white olives matter

I would think it would depend a great deal on exactly what they were stuffed with.

The olive bar at Whole Foods is worth visiting if any of you have never done that.

They have a DeLallo olive bar here, and I spend a good buck there often.

My favorite, made with olive oil and herbs.

Some folks today think they have a right not to be offended.

The answer is easy -- simple refuse to be offended.

Black olives are good to cook with. I don't particularly like them raw. Green olives, reverse order.
