Someone threw a rock through the window and painted racist graffiti on the storefront. There was also a racist message spray-painted on a family owned Mexican restaurant down the street from the first cafe. This news has been circulating via neighborhood message boards. Local news has not reported on it yet.

You got what you wanted. Good for you and your selfish, tiny, vain little white-privileged world.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
