Black Lives Matter occupied the street in front of the governor’s mansion for hours in Atlanta’s wealthiest neighborhood on Monday night.
The crowd of mostly Caucasian suburbanites and black college students yelled and called for Governor Nathan Deal to meet with them outside the mansion’s gates. But according to reports, Deal was out of the country.
At least 40 police cars and 100 uniformed police officers stood between the demonstrators and the opulent gated governor’s mansion.
The protests started at Lenox Square Mall on Monday afternoon then moved south down Peachtree Street and over to the governor’s mansion on West Paces Ferry in Buckhead.

The officers took their orders from Atlanta’s Mayor Kasim Reed. One of his orders was to prevent kind-hearted residents from delivering food and water to the demonstrators.
“IF YOU NEED FOOD OR WATER! I am on Tuxedo Road right behind a CBS 46 news truck. #ATLisReady: IF YOU NEED FOOD OR WATER!…” tweeted a Black Lives Matter supporter.

A few sympathetic, well-heeled millionaires in the prestigious neighborhood flocked to Tuxedo Road with food, water and supplies for the demonstrators.
But cops blocked the protestors who tried to return with food and water for the group.
Meanwhile, the exhausted officers — some of whom were working double overtime — gorged on sandwiches and beverages provided by Chick-fil-A restaurants.
“Atlanta police officers just got Chic-fil-A dropped off to them,” a protester tweeted. “They’re not allowing food or water to be brought back in [by us, or to us by those supportive].”
Others called for Black Lives Matter to boycott Chick-fil-A for feeding their oppressors (the police).
Police arrested some protesters who refused to follow orders to get out of the road.
After hours of chanting peacefully outside the mansion, Mayor Reed agreed to the group’s demands to meet with them.
A 2-hour meeting is scheduled for next week, where Reed will hear the activists’ demands.
All protesters were released as of 8 a.m. Tuesday.

I love me some Chick Fila but I LOVE myself more.
Exactly why I have always said I cannot stand kasim Reed. #ridofkasimreed #votekasimoff
Kasim is a big bully that has allowed his power to go to his head
‘Do as we say, not as we do!-{whip crack}’…#signed-Slave Masters before emancipation proclamation. smh
Kasim Reed is an oppressor and should be relieved of his mayoral duties. You are known in ATL sir, but on the road from ATL to Louisiana your ass too can be pulled over for the wide set of your nose and ultimately killed for being a big black man who was perceived as a threat.
FucqaChikFila. ..I wouldn’t be thinking bout eating no dam# greasy a$$ chicken at a time like that anyhow….need something light on the stomach in wartimes! !!
I can’t eat that mess all the time anyway. Bun loaded with Madd Butter and chicken soaked in milk and a milk batter and a wilted pickle. It’s a heart attack bound to happen in a sun drenched 90 degree walk!
How hungry could they really have been? They’ve only been out there a few hours. Fawk the police.
There chicken isnt greasy.. Can’t get upset if they didnt chose to feef ppl causing problems.. Not everyone has to agree with blm
Kasim said MLK would never block roads, so I ain’t go nothing for him. Or these racists badtards.
Why do you people always come here to start some shyt! Why do you devils insist on follow black people around taughting and harnessing us! We don’t come to where you people are and disrupt your Klan meetings. Why are you here spying on us!?
Did he really say that??? Does he not know. ..Nevermind it’s too early
Hmmmm DBoi. …here you go…hold this ?. ..#stayblocked
How he the mayor of a historically black city and don’t know black history #FOH
You my friend….must be a white boi… or a white boi in black face…foh
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta/large-protest-planned-in-downtown-atlanta/392468978
Too busy trying to be a celeb. Look what happened to the mayor of Detroit
They act as if we can’t tell what they are online. YT people pull the same stupid ignorant stunts on and off line. They’re so predictable and stupid.
Kwame broke my heart Zoe.
I need for Kasim to just geaux.
I guess he never heard of the march to Selma when they basically blocked the entire highway for SEVERAL miles.
Yeah that blockhead is as dumb as rocks.
True indeed…true indeed.
Jesus needs to be a thesaurus on that azz before trying to come up against us saying they don’t agree…He need help! How about School lives matters?…Howboutthat!
I have no comment.Im tired folks…
You should’ve seen the way I looked at the television when he said that.
Yeah, their lemonade will give you diabetes.
All of our hearts.
Post about the Minn. police left their off-duty position at the Lynx game because the team wore BLM shirts.
Black american for 36 yrs capable of free independent thinking unlike the majority of ppl like you who i gather can’t or wont think for themselves..
All I need to know is 1. Chick fil a have their employees wear blue lives matter shirts?! 2. Did MAC inform their employees that they can not use black lives matter on their own account?
If the above is true welp I won’t be seeing the inside of either FOREVAA. Chick hurts because I don’t do fast food but they have a special place. Sigh
You can keep the wing #escapetheplantation
Others called for Black Lives Matter to boycott Chick-fil-A for feeding their oppressors (the police).
^^^^^
I really REALLY wanted a frozen lemonade today tho?. Like bad. I been wanting one since Friday. ???
Most are franchise with the corp owning half. I think individual CFL has done that. I never saw ours doing that.
The food is not bad it Was the only fast food i patronized but I am done with them and I just sent them a email to let them know. If you don’t like me I don’t like ya arse either.
They didn’t asked to be fed by chick Fila
Get your frozen lemonade. Chick Fil A has corporate and franchised locations. Hopefully you can run up on a black-owned franchised, but it’s hard to tell with DBAs and whatnot.
shid get one!!!!
Kwame makes me want to see a dick pic. Still. That bish Christine risked it ALL. I want to see. Kwame fine. As hell.
Go have a set in the corner because we won’t stop until things change.
That’s cause they use a whole 5 pd bag a suga per cup…?…not really shocked at ChikFila stance cause see most racist claim Christianity….and will ride out on your A$$ wit some white sheets first chance they get! !!
They Franchise (?) this is new to me ….. that was something they was known to not do ….. everything is Chick-fi-la owned including their truck drivers
Say what now?
I was thinking that as well. So I will look into the area before I eat there. I don’t do makeup except an occasional lippie so it’s nothing to not shop there.
I’k a black american who’s been cominy to this site for over 5 yrs..Don’t get mad at me cuz someone opinion isn’t the same as the masses..You don’t own the site so anyone any race can come post if they feel like it..
Harlem my mom texted me about MAC. I didn’t hear it myself but she was upset. If you confirm can you leave it here?
What does protesting actually do? Marching does not work. Why arent blacks coming together to boycott? Money is power. Pool our money together to open up businesses in our neighborhoods and move the Koreans out? I just cant get with BLM movement..I just cant….
Black folks made and created that monster it was all good when his ass was running around with all the Atlanta rappers and shit and not addressing REAL issues in waiting on the day he gets reminded that he’s black it’s coming I hope he didn’t leave a paper trail of all the shit he been accepting and taking under the table we should have been on his ass a long time ago truth be told
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Company/Franchise-Opportunity
One close to me today, not only white owned, I used to work at one of his stores. ??Charly Kerr. Fukk it. Will wait til tomorrow
and I will still eat me some chick fila with their excellent customer service ….. bloop
1. Stopped wearing MAC A DECADE ago. They treat there black employees differently.
2. Chic Fil…I’mma pray, Got Damn..Chic Salad be on point…All I eat is Chic or Fish……DAMN Damn
and My Just 19 has a interview there on Saturday.
Denying the folk food and water. How evil. People do have the right to protest mayor!!
One I mentioned below been franchise owned since I was in HS at least. 94-95. Maybe longer
I definitely will. I’m half working so can’t research now but I seen a screenshot last night. Bet if we stop shopping there then all of a sudden black lives is important TUH
So now a peaceful protest is considered causing problems and they shouldn’t be able to eat? So why were people able to eat when they were on the Occupy Wall Street? Was that causing problems as well or is this only for Black Lives Matter?
That’s a shame and is something we need to take care of. We need to vote out all of the local politicians that don’t do anything for the community with their paid under the table asses.
Seems like you’ve been freed of your common sense too. You seem more like you are trying to race bait; no one asked to be fed by CF! Reading is fundamental! Seems like when you got freed you didn’t enroll in school either.
BS ….. since since Truitt died been a lot of changes …..
Stop lying! Piece of shyt! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f51cfb8943fbc4f750f9a3de8f3671db9067c3a8bdbfcf76da924fe1e1bb1dde.gif
I eat them sparingly…actually last time I did…was 2013…I prefer to patronize my local Jamaican yardies. ..you know where the food is home cooked…a real meal….nawhaImtalknbout….
???…yeah so FUQACHIKFILA! !!
You talking about this week’s boycott’s? I’m participating. What is your business plan and proposal for the pooling? You have a fund set up? If your not comfortable sharing openly I can provide my email. I’m in Jersey but sure I can help with your initiative in your state.
They own half.
You are a cave demon!!!!!’ The sun is coming burn beiotch??????????????????
There’s a boycott that went out the other day. I’m not going to post it but yes, there are boycotts started. U just have to be in the know of them I guess by word of mouth and not social media.
Although he has gone to glory, I think it is important to note that Chick Fil A founder, Truett Cathy, was one of the few restaurateurs who would serve persons of color in Jim Crowe days. He lived in a house behind The Dwarf House (original name for CFA) and would wake at all hours of the night to serve white and blacks alike with no preferential treatment to either.
We’re doing that. Did you miss the memo?
Lol
Did several papers on them ……. that was something not done by them from my research …. part of the reason IMO for their success ….. everything stayed within … from the drivers .. to thge chickens … farms etc …… excellent strategy … starbucks are doing something almost the same ……
How does it feel to be an Uncle Tom or a house knigga Independent free thinker? Are you a manager at Chick Fil’ a?
His day coming and we should start calling for an investigation into his affairs since he wanna get cute
I don’t do makeup but I know a shit load who does. As for chick it’s a franchise thing not storewide. Whew
Exactly because they are going to miss that black dollar. I sent her this. I’m not into make up but these were black owned as of Jan 2016 http://blackgirllonghair.com/2016/01/27-black-owned-cosmetics-companies/
They giave his arse the trash detail.
The most dangerous individual, to any black group think, is the individual who is able to think things out with critical thinking, logic & reasoning without regard to the prevailing black superstitions, black taboos and black hearsay. Almost inevitably coming to the conclusion that the black group think is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and the only change will be during the individual flight, away from the black group think narrative of useful idiots.
Nah, this was before Truett died. I remember looking into it around 2009-2010 when Honey Dip and I were looking at investment opportunities.
Come through. Yes. And that rumor that his son said they dont like blacks, turned out to be a lie.
I watched this for over two hours on and off and I’m still unsure of what happened. The Mayor came down looking like a drunken liberty national salesman, the chief of police came and stood their looking like he wish a mofo would. They went and talked and came out and said we won. Don’t get me wrong I am all about effort. However the only way we win is when these trigger happy cops stop murdering and torturing us. We will win when we can get pulled over and not be afraid of sneezing because that maybe our last sneeze. There are many issues here in the metro and surrounding areas but let’s not allow them to blind side us with issues, and events to take our minds off of what’s really going on. I really think that the Mayor is a poor leader. I think he does enough but not enough if you no what I mean. I hope that he does really keep his word about sitting down with the young people on Monday. I pray that he did not just use that as another tactic to distract them. I will say this I was so proud to see so many of our young people out standing for something. I was proud to see that they were able to unite in a peaceful manner and stay calm. However as I sat there looking at some of those cops especially the state troopers faces I just prayed because you could see the evil and hate that pierced their souls.
Okay …….
I get so ticked when folks want to speak on behalf of MLK.
I can’t stop laughing at this…Is that Yasiin in the background?? lol
Don’t they !!! Black screen name to throw them off check use a black picture as a profile picture check goes to black sites that discuss black issues and try and act like they black and giving a opposite opinion to start an argument check check and check get outta here you blocked now check that
I stopped going to Whole Foods because Of that. Gave cops food during the protest in BMore
Girl me not being on Amazon during Prime Day… with this back to school list …sigh. If it helps make the world better for Jr. I’ll pay more for his back pack and pencils
Same way that porsha thought the underground railroad was a real train.
Thanks for the update. I met the owner near my house and couple of kids that work there and they said they he’s really nice. I know my son is 19, but Iono want no BS at his job.
I wish we had that in my city but it’s just a bunch of Arabs and Indians frying chicken and fish and I will not buy chicken and fish from them. A black person can’t even get a loan to open up a business but they let every Tom Dick and Harry come in our community to sell us chicken. Shame on US for buying it.
It’s for the better, Sis. It will pay off tenfold later.
ATL been majority black since the late 40s. Do better Kasim.
those are war tactics on peaceful civilians…. this is ridiculous. police seem to always incite aggression.
Damn. Now I can’t eat Chick-fil-A. Because why would they do that? And note the black mayor not allowing the protesters to have food or water. I mean why not? So it’s ok to feed the cops but not your own people? *goes back to the kona*
Hmmmmm. …interesting……..?
Yeah that’s him .
bwhahahhaha, I forgot about that.
but she don’t run a damn city! wasn’t her ancestor famously apart of the URR??
They have military grade artillery so it’s not surprising. The cops should have never been militarized.
Airport partially named after Maynard Jackson. Kasim is a disgrace.
…and that oreo cookie shake will have you shooting insulin as a type 1 in this mikki fikki. Trust!
Some of the people in Atlanta sounds ignorant. I see things haven’t changed there since the kids were snatched.
You a mess and LOVES you.
He aint been ? the snowstorm a few years ago when he and the governor let kids get trapped in schools and shut down the city. He was mia, guess what he was doing? Making a bastardy, that’s what.
Man who owned the one I worked at in HS is hella nice too. Mentioned him above.
Girl I was just feeling sad like damn now what am I gonna do!
I dunno about URR, but her grandfather, Hosea Williams, was a Civil Right’s Activist.
Her grandpa is Hosea Williams.
MOVE THE KOREANS, CHINESE, INDIANS OUT
Good info!! Thanks.
Marching doesnt work?
Marching didnt work during the 60’s civil right’s era?
Definitely.
YOU? Girl I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO not Chick Fil A!
Some folks want to label those who disagree with one or two things as completely intolerant to anything that is different. It’s sad.
I thought I was the only one who recognized this. People love Chic Fil A lemonade but it is pure sugar water. It’s just not safe for consumption. Better off having ice water and a slice of lemon.
That’s perfectly fine for him to work there. We just don’t need to give them our money. It’s ok to take their money.
They didn’t ONLY march. Quite frankly, the boycotts were more effective than anything.
The protest got a meeting with the mayor and that’s all that matters at this point. Progress and one step forward. Chick-Fil-A may have to go on the temp ban list for that petty stunt
There might be more to this story than these BLM protesters are telling us.
Meanwhile, I’m still gonna enjoy my chick-fil-a sandwich with the honey mustard sauce.
They also used prison labor. They claimed they would stop it, but I’m not too optimistic.
Good to know.
Good luck ?
ATTENTION: we are not boycotting chick fil a! Let’s use common sense when trying to make a point
Back in the day activists were prepared with their own food and water not dependent on corporate food chains and graciousness of the police. Every protester should have had a back pack filled with sandwiches, fruit, and water. Especially if out there with children.
You mean every Habib&Kafar. …dam#…loll?…yeah Im in Philly so have lots of options. .but 1 thing I do is patronize my local blks..cause who really knows what we like anyhow..as far as menu goes and such….we cook beta anyway. ..
I have been saying this. People don’t know the seasonings they use are pure MSG and if you don’t know what that is and what it will do yo you look it up. They usually keep it in a 10 gallon bucket and it’s white.
Lol classic reply.. feels great to be a free independent thinker better then a closed mind thinking slave like yourself.. Not a manager a cfa but i do patronize there from time to time..good chicken..actually own my own trucks and make a gd living at it if u must knw..and if i did wrk at a cfa believe me i’d have my own restaurant employing ppl helping out the community..
Good for you sis
Ultimately, I think it’s best for people to choose who they spend their money with. I will say that I have made more of an effort to keep my money if I can’t spend with a black owned business. I got weak and had Zaxby’s for dinner last night though.
Just read. Chick Fil A been supporting the police. This is not new. Numerous locations give law enforcement free food. All of them offer steep discounts, so damn near free. And they have a whole entire day annually chain-wide called “Support The Blue”. So if you been eating there, you were supporting them all along. Unknowingly.
The breakfast chicken burrito, grilled chicken sandwich and the frozen lemonade..I love Chick Fila
Cave demon?? I knw you can come back better then that..
I’m sure they will be prepared for the cave demons next time.
All I needed to know. It came across as we support them and mute on you. Had to ask before I shut it down. Guess I can have an occasional Polynesian sauce
Another simple minded response..
I think it’s best for people to choose as well. I sure do. Stopped eating PapaJohns in 08, and so on and so on. I’ve never eaten Chickfil. Ever. Same with chipotle. Just as I was wanting to try it, outbreak…All I know about ChickF is that whenever they’re in the news, it’s opposing something that I am for. That says a lot. As a consumer. As a chooser, I’d never choose them.
That’s what you are so I call it like I see it cave demon. Are you lost? This is not yahoo
THIS!!!!
You are a fool and it’s simply no need to be in a intelligent convo with you because you are way too ignorant.
With all the real southern fried chicken spots in Atlanta, who the hell would patronize bigoted ass Truett Cathy’s restaurants? I ate Chick-Fil-A once during my 5-1/2 years in the A. Blechhh! You can keep that KKKrap!
Cook your own breakfast food of which Im sure is way beta than ChikFIla??
Organizers of protests are supposed to make sure protesters are oriented and prepared.
Someone close to me went to school with Kasim, I’ve never really cared to ask what type of person he was then. But HE did graduate from Howard, where he currently sits on the board.
Pressure from WHITEs who really run Atlanta
(Polishes Nails)
OK!! They were not allowed to bring their own food and beverages back to the rally…THAT’S the problem…it’s harassment really
Yeah, read that on the gram. Support blue shirts for staff and what not. As I said below,,, Never eaten there, but every time. Every damn time I read about that chain,,,It’s some shît like this. Not supporting them is a no brainier for me. Give them supper Christians your money if you please, I choose not to…My choice??
Goodbye I have no time for ignorance.
Simple mindedness for a simple fake knigga .Sad you really think you can fool us to believing you’re black. ? Go back to storm front, Yahoo, etc. We don’t need YOUR kind here stinking up the place.
He’s cooning for real! How could he not know this??
That bus boycott was the str8 ?. …GATHERED this country alllllll the way together……….
I usually do lunch or dinner. However, I can always shake and bake some chicken. Sorry it’s too hot to stand over the stove and fry it.
Mayor Kasim Reed be like:
Not ignorance, preparedness. Why give Chic Fil A or the police the satisfaction of “depriving” protesters. It is important for protesters to be self reliant and prepared for long days.
No I have all common sense..reading is truly fundamental if you actually used that skill in readiny what i had wrote.. not race baiting as i didn’t write anything to be viewed as race baiting only stated my opinion..
With his big ole teddy bear self. ?
Girl. That is about to kill me over here. I love my Amazon Prime. And I give it a good workout on the regular.
I’m already on the fence. I go once a year if that so I guess I already don’t go. Fck it
Come with the facts so people can make their own decision. Nothing wrong with supporting the blue but if you are gonna choose one over the other, best be prepared for folks to choose not give you anymore of their hard earned cash. No hard feelings ChickFilA.
I may be one of the few, but I don’t have an issue with them supporting officers generally. As again, my anger is not directed to all officers unilaterally. there are some good cops; my anger is directed at those that use the system to wage unjust wars on citizens (black bodies and Latinos). I do have an issue with them giving food to the officers while the officers are preventing peaceful protestors from accepting food and water from other citizens though what the hell….
Someone on here was talking about Amazon Prime and school supplies. Listen, if you like them, Children’s Place will have the backpacks and lunch boxes on sale soon. A few months back (like three months ago) they had them on sale. I got his backpack for 12 bucks and his lunchbox for like 5 or 6….so just be on the look out. Don’t feel like you missed the sale. Just and FYI.
People like to polarize issues that are complex. That’s what irritates me.
? cause on the real aint nothing they can cook or think abt cooking that WE aint done before….and beta…
That was me and thanks Keya, I appreciate the heads up.
How are you and the babies doing?
This is the norm in a lot of eateries though. Dunkin Donuts, mad chains give officers free food.
This. I agree with this. It isn’t all cops. And the ones who do the wrong thing make it so bad for the ones who do right.
Hey Luv! Me and the bf were just talking about how there’s a CFA at the end of my complex and I haven’t gone since I moved here. Were supposed to go tomorrow when he comes down. Guess we’ll be going to Dame’s again instead smdh
All skin folk ain’t your kin folk. I am enjoying seeing my people wake up, but what demands are they asking for and who is making those demands?
Side note: I’m sorely disappointed in the upper crust blacks like the CBC.
Thanks for this 4 out of my 5 will be in school this year..Lord almost a quiet house
Well Boowee for you Honey. The way you spell and form your sentences, I wouldn’t think CFA, I would say garbage man…maybe maintenance or Janitor at one of the corp Chick Fil’ a buildings.
I am no slave and I am totally far from being closed minded, because I love all as how God tells me, but one thing I do not LIKE are people who are not fair and narrow minded as yourself who try and fool us by saying it is a free and independent thinking. You are that same house ni99a telling Massa Nat Turners plan. That same Uncle Tom Ni99a that pointed out the slaves that were escaping. I cringe at the thought of people as yourself…if you ARE black and 36 as you say, How could you not see that this is a problem here. If All lives mattered, then why are our sons and nephews, and brothers and fathers getting racially profiled. You’re so stupid, you think because you are a free independent thinker, that’s going to stop a bullet to your chest honey? Nope. You think because you don’t agree with BLM that a white cop is not going to shoot you or that you will be invited over to George Zimmerman’s or Donald Trumps house? Nope So Independent free thinker that you are, you must be the only Black KKK in the meetings screaming White power huh… wow.
No problem. We are good. Ju is loving her sister. She thinks New Keya is her baby. Lol
lmfao you had to mention donuts on a cop thread.
Never said they couldn’t eat ..and they where causing problems due to blocking traffic which keeps ppl from moving about freely or heaven forbid an ambulance,fire truck etc from getting to or from a situation in a timely manner you don’t wouldn’t consider that causing a problem??
Im on the fence too bc as I said here before, And when the whole thing of them and the gays came up, Chick Fil A gave my black ass a college scholarship. So I am already not the norm CFA consumer. I can cut them out if need be though. I done pure found out the cheat recipe to the Chicken Tortilla Soup lol
No problem. I don’t mind sharing where something is on sale. Shoot, these days most people have a tight budget so I get it. I hope it helps.
So darn cute!!
Yes perception wise AND in the police department. Oh man, I need to find the link from an ex officer who was harassed and fired for not participating in racist practices.
They are the main ones. When I put in CFA law enforcement policy, one of the hits was a list of the top places that give them discounts. DD was numero uno.
It is. Until you have to almost fight her over the baby. Lol lol. I love it though. I hope they love each other like this always.
Did yall like Dame’s???? I love that spot. I hope you enjoyed.
And yet nothing will change until you effect change at hhome in your community and lives.
this tickles me so much lmao. every time I think of a cop eating doughnuts I have an image of Carl Winslow in my mind.
HOLLERING. YESSSSSSSSS
I quit eating Jimmy Johns because the owner kills big game animals in Africa for sport and I haven’t been to a chick fil A and nor will I ever their suppose to be a Christian based business but only supports the cops it tells you how racists so many so called Christians are
????
This last week has had me absolutely drained. Between the deaths and the rhetoric about how BLM and Obama are to blame for all the evils in this country I’m emotionally exhausted. Saw a couple of my yt classmates on FB speaking out on our behalf but I couldn’t even bring myself to hit “like”. Living in this skin day in and day out is an experience they will ever truly understand or empathize with. They have the option to feel something for a minute and speak up once or twice. We live this every day. I won’t be supporting people who don’t support me if I can help it. It’s not gonna kill me not to eat CFA. I didn’t particularly care for their stance on gays and gay marriage so I haven’t been but once or twice in as many years. Thanks to those who posted about black owned banks…I’ll be opening a second account within the next few weeks.
?? well shit sounds to me like you got what you needed. Scholarship and recipe ? jackpot ?
To me, in this particular event, the message seem a little more clear cut than giving our hard working servicemen a discount or free food. I know for a fact that the oh mighty dollar will make a business holler…
Neither was the police..and your point is??
No; not when other groups do the same thing and no one says anything. Occupy Wall Street went on for weeks. Those people had tents set up and were really causing issues yet it was fine.
Protesters should’ve had food and water on their person from the start of the rally. The organizers owed protesters guidelines to be prepared.
Amen!
Yesssssss! We went to the GBO location and had the light brown leghorn I think? I was in heaven. Didn’t want those leftovers to end ? Oh and Beyu was great too! We wanted to hit that Dame’s but no reservations when we were there.
Please talk this blm movement to a hood near you! It starts at home! Negroes are killing negroes everyday at an alarming rate! Bring back the “increase the peace” and “stop the violence” movements!
OK. I’m going to do a temporary boycott in response to this.
Ahem…No Chick-fil-A for the next 30-60 hours.
Actually I didn’t read anywhere that Chic Fil A just gave the police officers the food. For all we know someone from the police department went to Chic Fil A and picked up food for their co-workers. Perhaps Chic Fil A was just serving a customer in their restaurant. So technically they were asked to feed the police; by the person who went and picked up the food. Or by the person who placed the request.
I’m surprised you didn’t post on Rudy’s racist ass. We never fckd with him and 9/11 he made me sick. So damn happy to have that tragedy he couldn’t stop cummin on himself.
In any event any news on MAC cosmetics and blm? I’m ready to add them to the list as well. ?
I’m from North Jersey and we couldn’t stand his lisping ass either! Only thing I hated about getting NYC channels was seeing his face all the time as the hero of 9/11. ?
I’ll let you in on a secret: blacks don’t agree with crimes within our communities, and we are complex creatures who can have concerns and involvement in several different things at once *gasp*
I was so tired of him after 9/11. I was glad he was on his way out, but he milked 9/11 to the last drop.
I think they putting one in Cary. Then I wont have to try to drive BACK out here to go to the Triangle one on my days off lol.
We didn’t like him prior to 9/11. If I’m not mistaken his ratings were low pee 9/11.
Only rich yts and the like likes his ass.
I HATE HIM. Ugh
Facepalm
I HATE HIM! His own damn family doesn’t pay him any mind. Weren’t him and his wife cousin’s? Ugh I wish he’d die already. Racist trash.
And the closeted gays because Rudy is a closet case if I ever saw one!
And those individuals are usually arrested, charged, tried and/or convicted. Sometimes they may not be convicted but at least they are arrested and tried. Not sitting at home collecting PTO and you just killed an unarmed citizen. Those are two different things.
Please don’t waste your font or our time commenting on black on black crime when the stats show whites have more white on white than any other. Or the fact that you kill where you live. Robberies etc included. To damn stupid sounding and it’s ridiculous to spout that brainwash systematic bs ?
I wish they would put one in Charlotte…but on second thought nah. I need to be dropping weight not eating my weight in chicken and waffles! ??
His daughter was in That high priced store stealing, remember that. She came out and said they don’t fawk with his racist arse.
I can’t believe that folks still want to bring up “black on black crime.” So brainwashed it hurts.
I contend the ONLY reason he has any approval ratings at all is because 9/11 happened at the very end of his tenure and he had a general sense of community unity/patriotism on his side. But even in my short time in NYC, I was ready for him to go.
Include the insane as well
Every.Single.Time. *sigh*
Most of these white folks don’t even have a high school diploma.
Nah. Us field negroes can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
He ain’t earn it then. He only came together because it was making him more of a celebrity. His laws and stance on everything was the total opposite of what he shown. Total pony and trick show
Here you go being all multi-layered and stuff. Are you an onion or something?
Sephora ain’t no damn upscale. She got caught there with her nyu sweatshirt on. Wack ass
Yep, but only the sweetest Vidalia for my SweetButt
I had to comment separately on that. Too damn old to sound so damn stupid.
Folks that spout those “facts” shy want to hear your actual facts
http://atlantablackstar.com/2015/03/03/9-facts-white-white-crime-far-exceeds-black-black-crime-media-conceals/
And they say it so confidently as if all crime was eradicated in our communities, police officers will magically call off open season on us.
I think his name alone invokes the insane title. That man has had a few screws lose for decades! Now he just wants attention and a check smdh
hey guys… here are my favorite podcasts on TAL that discuss police brutality/cops viewpoint from an interesting perspective. if you have the time, this was really an interesting listen:
– Cops See It Differently (Two Parts: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/547/cops-see-it-differently-part-one )
i’ll be back with the other story of the cop who was fired and harassed [or inverse lol] for not participating in racist policies.
also, this right here though: http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/01/cop-harasses-off-duty-police-chief-who-he-didnt-recognize/ lmao what an idiot, white officer harrassed his off duty chief of police [who is black] smh smh.
Silly af
You literally just assumed he was white because he gave an opinion you disagreed with. Nothing more.
Actually ows was called out for causing problems as those issues where documented on national and international news org. You could say they are one in the same due to being financed by the same ppl and supported by the swme political leaders white and black..
Good link.
Oh they were “called out”, but still allowed to eat and drink. Okay.
fried chicken the other day!
MystyBlu we’re neighbors
But true to everything you said, I would cringe when he was on the screen. I cringe now but we bad but his daughter a theif
Free thinker….until yo “black ass gets pulled ovah and Get that Good Ole Boys in Blue ass whooping or SHOT….#staywoke
Accent salt.
It’s 2016.
I’m in NC now for school and possibly life lol I still claim North Jersey though! Always a Jersey girl at heart. 9/11 was such a traumatic time…I had a coworker lose his two besties and several of our students lost parents that lived in union city and worked in NYC. And you would think Rudy was the only one affected. Made me sick to my stomach. He led by fear and hate of all minorities. Not cute at all
I LOVE THIS LINK! Thanks!
No, I did not miss the memo but I believe that a lot of other blacks did.
Good I like those.
Ummm hmmm…that’s why Andrew Young said “there must be a purpose” to the demonstrations. Just marching aimlessly won’t get much accomplished.
ummm hmmm….correctamundo!!!
U have been pulled over by those “good ole boys” black and white and have yet to have a issue because i knw hw to act in those situations..no point in causing problems..be respectful,follow their request and you both go home..
maybe…I figured the same. why else would one of colour be so obtuse about a serious situation like this? Unless he/she is a “turncoat”.
BLM lacks leadership and organization, what makes you think they would practice common sense?
This one was a department store. She stole an expensive scarf.
Difference is blm was in the middle of a heavily traveled rd whereas ows to my knowledge was at/in a controlled venue i.e. zurion park
We can get through this together!!
blocked the ppl from getting food & water? smh!! nasty.
So we pulling Kasim’s black card or what?
Hope he remembers this when elections come up, those same people you are blocking from food and waters are the same people that show up at the polls.
I commend the young people. It starts with them.
He’s is a sell out Mayor, shame on his blacker than black @ss! Where is his @ss when the KKK is holding rallies ??? Out with Ludacris @ a fundraiser!
Chick fil a uses way too much sodium!
Occupy Wall Street was in many different locations across the United States; not always in the park. In Tallahassee, FL they were camped on the corner of an intersection…and they stayed there for awhile. Eating and drinking.
Honey I’m black… My people have been in georgia since the boat docked in savannah. My 89 and 94 year old grandmothers, one whom lives in summer hill, the other lived in grant park both agree that they no longer fear white folks..they are scared to sit on their porches for the fear of being robbed or harmed by the youth in the hoods who can give a damn. I don’t agree with the killings of anyone at the hands of police.. But honey, it starts at home. Stop killing each other rise to the occasion unite, and then protest that black lives matter!
Cordially,

Great point!!! We have some changing to do individually and in our households… I am trying to stay focused on the real issues here and all this other stuff is getting thrown in the mix… Shoot, I need to step back so I can see things more clear…
Preach!!! If you live in a black all black neighborhood the people committing crime is going to look like you. And that goes for any “race”. And and higher rate of certain types of crimes of course happen in poor ones is to be expected across all colors of people. These so called facts are spewed to make blacks seem more violent. Some racist ex cop was on msnbc using “fact” to basically say that black men were prone to be criminals.
There is supposed to be a pre-protest, rally, demonstration, march meeting, meet up, or headquarters where protesters can receive informational handouts, guidelines on the possibility of arrests, bag lunch, bottled water, and basic first aid supplies. Protesters should also have a small blanket if the need arises to sit or lay down. All of this is necessary especially if parents bring children.
Kassim sold out a long time ago! From shady airport dealings, to the new very expensive stadium ,to Mr. Perry getting Fort Macpherson. All the taxpayers of Atlanta will chip in a pay up. I’m surprised at the Atlanta Police Department for actually following his orders. Look how long it took him to pay them raises, teacher’s, fighter’s, city worker’s. Then he gets on the news, and always use that intimidating ugly mug of his.
****PLEASE READ TIL THE END*****I don’t think anything is wrong with supporting the police.. I say this because if somebody robbed me right now or hurt me in any way the first thing I’m going to do is call 911… Now when a cop wants to flex their power and use it in a way that is wrong and deadly, I have an issue with supporting that and that individual cop..
I’m not your honey, and my position still stands. Step your logic game up.
U better preach that truth honey
The founder of Chick Fila is a known racist. I knew Kasim Reed in college and he sure has changed, not that he was a radical back then but he’s a disappointment now.
We agree to disagree without hurling insults… Honey… You’re part of the problem.. Bet you can’t even tell me who A. Phillip Randolph was or Ella Baker were without the help of Google… Step my logic up? Nah honey step your knowledge up.. It’s powerful. Young people i tell you, respect your elders. The ancestors are watching.
But…but
Listen! Freshman year in college, when those text messages came out. It was like an urban street romance novel being released every week. Me and my girls were in heaven. ?
He’s looking at the commerce and business side. If this continues as it has nationwide, it could be as detrimental to the economy as 9/11….I remember when all commerce stopped and businesses went out of business. It took 2 years for the country to recover. While I believe in protest, I don’t believe in totally stopping the commerce and business of a city. A lot of small businesses and black businesses are hurt.
Plus — imagine an ambulance or fire truck trying to get to an emergency. God help us if we’re one of those patients caught in this traffic jam.
Young people don’t vote.
Keep thinking that.
This is a good time for the criminals to run wild. In Chicago 75 police were committed to the protests, that’s 75 officers that could be in the neighborhood catching criminals.
BLM wouldn’t DARE go protest in front of the dopeman’s house. Just saying.
And I have a sweet tooth, but the last time I got drank their lemonade my teeth started crackling because it had so much sugar.
Hell I had toss the rest of it in the trash.
Sometime in life you have to stand up for something! If is wasn’t for our ancestors, and some down @ss white folks , it would be no black owned business! Excuses are easy! Not feeling you!I’m all in support of peaceful protest!
Thank you!
OK Roses, please help me understand. The protesters were allowed to “go get food” from those supplying, but not allowed to return to the protest afterward? Is that understanding correct? How were the police able to get Chick Fil A, did someone deliver it to them? If so how were they able to “get through” the protesters and return or did an officer “pick up” food for them, or was the officers food in the same place as the protesters? Before you say anything negative in response to these questions, I am just trying to get clarity
I am at Chicken Fila now. Wow, great chicken
Bring your own water…
Eat at home.
Vote this cat out IF that’s what you want.
Next ??
He is on his 2nd term he is gone either way….if not, yes he needed to be voted out…he is an Uncle Tom/Hillary puppet type.
You must be easily impressed, dumb a z z casper.
F u kk that old bubba, never eating there ever again.
Another unhappy bigot filled with hate.
BLM no doubt.
Which means nothing in regards to BLM, which has a SPECIFIC mission and that is about the crime where blacks not only don’t get justice, but the murderer goes free, with pay and a GoFundMe account and retains his job….and to add insult to injury the victim is made out to be a criminal, even for misdemeanor offenses.
But, people are too stuck on downplaying one movement to realize that another one can be created.
ATL Chicken:
MARTIAL LAW…SMDH. ABOUT TO LEAVE CHICK FIL A THE FUGG ALONE. HMMPH
Hate to break it to you but because of sites like this and social media in general, Millennials are socially aware of many things. We’re young but not dumb. We are the generation that whenever a policy goes into effect, we are directly effected from it.
Further we so color struck all we do is vote for someone because they black!!! Not based on what they gone do if they were gone do something it would have shown before they got in office I’m sorry I know y’all love the current POTUS but he took a page outta Kasim handbook he was smoking newports drinking beer at the White House watching super bowl playing basketball and has had every damn black rapper and comedian at the White House to chill like wtf it’s an insult we like to chill as black ppl and congregate but we know there is a time and place for that shit don’t insult me by thinking because you trying to come off as relatable that I’m gone rock with you cuz I’m not it’s a sad state we in as a ppl as it comes to obtaining true freedom we keep wanting a leader or someone to free is when we not understanding that it’s gone take a lot of us to free all of us
You are an idiot
Not to mention he went to the Bilderberg meeting a few years back.
Not to mention he went to the Bilderberg meeting a few years back.
I’ve had enough of this sh it. They all need to take their a&&es home. Damn!! Bunch of b.s. BLM
And you must be one of the spoiled brats in this wannabe movement, that the honorable Andrew Young spoke of.
They do not need to do anything. There is a systemic problems of police misconduct that is only getting worse. It has to be solved because it affects us all, especially people of color.
Anyone who has a problem with BLM is a clown. Have a good day clown.
Lost generation lead by a photo opting camera seeking person. The ancestors are watching.. Pick up book, gain some knowledge, and kiss my a$$… Black lives matter… Yeah when a cop or white cop kills one of us… Stop it take that two the hoods.. Stop the violence and black on black crime! Clown? You have no respect for the elders..Andrew Young is one paved the way so that your dumb a$$ could have freedom of speech…SNCC, black panthers, sclc, and naacp… Real movements… The ancestors are watching in disgust. Idiot… Now again kiss my a$$

Some of the millenials in BLM are just rude and don’t deserve anything. After Ferguson they showed up at my niece’s campus. The school bent over backwards helping them. My niece was excited to help them with water and welcoming them. They were so rude and unmannerly that when they came back again my niece said she no longer supported the group and wanted nothing to do with them.
While I understand what they’re doing it is too unstructured and unorganized for me. They need some better leadership.
I don’t care what anybody says that group is terribly unorganized. I’ve said that since it was first formed. Plus, don’t forget it is primarily millenials and they have that “it’s all about me’ attitude. I hoped they would’ve gotten better leadership but it doesn’t appear that way.
Had they concentrated on police shootings along with crime in places like Chicago they would’ve had much more support and probably better leadership too.
You’re dealing with millenials in that group. The “Me’ generation who only cares about themselves. In Ferguson it was reported that when non-whites joined their effort one of the leaders told them they needed to stay in the back!
That’s what the Black media sites tell us. Oh, this person is Black. And? Vote for the person who has ‘proven’ they support your efforts. Look at Kwame Kilpatrick!!
What BLM and their followers fail to realize is.. The govt (state & local) gives a !4$,)! about demonstrations and protests… It’s going to take legislation… They need to be knocking on the doors of the people they elected to represent them.. If police reform is not on their election campaign don’t support or vote them in…
Lay off the cocaine.
OMG! I am speechless.
Agreed.
In my comments on this thread I’ve been constructively pointing out where BLM is disorganized and can improve. The idea that a large gathering for protest was organized in the southern summer heat without the provision of at least bottled water speaks volumes about lack of organization, common sense, and consideration.
BLM is concerned with sensationalism rather than ending violence against black people. BLM will not protest to end violence committed against black people by black people (i.e. Chicago) because there’s no press in that cause.
Black people deserve to live trauma and violence free lives. Black people deserve to live lives free of black violence against black people and police violence against black people.
Not all black people are black nationalist or pan Africanist in their thinking and opinion. Black people can be capitalist or conservative or independent or affluent or even disagree with other black people and that does not mean they are white.
The protesters posted tweets complaining that Police Officers on site at the protest received food donated from Chic Fil A and the protesters posted tweets calling for a boycott of Chic Fil A for not feeding protesters and for feeding the officers who wouldn’t let the public send food into the protesters.
What lacks common sense is BLM holding a march and not providing or advising protesters to be prepared with food, snacks, water, and first aid kits.
What lacks common sense is protesting the Man but expecting courtesies from the Man. No way were these protesters supposed to be put in that position.
I’m sure Harriet Tubman didn’t expect slavemasters to draft maps and provide food and water for the Underground Railroad.
I have also thrown away an unfinished Chic Fil A lemonade. It’s like syrup. But people love it and they make a lot of money on sugary lemonade.
I agree. Part of the problem in the world today is no one wants to take full responsibility for their actions – that includes Police, those being arrested, demonstrators, protesters, etc. It’s always “someone else’s responsibility” to do everything…
Take responsibility for your own actions first, then you can hold someone accountable for theirs.
#Truth
“Stand for something or you’ll fall for anything”
To me, some of these people are just looking for a reason to be in the streets. (Case in point: dude that was at a peaceful protest with a rifle on his side) You can tell a few are sincerely trying to make a difference the only way they know how.
No more than people voting for people because they are white. Ask them why are they voting for Trump and he has certified himself as a dummy who knows nothing about being President or how laws are passed as a citizen. We learned that in Civics class. No one complained when the other President’s had parties at the White House. The most famous one is John Kennedy mistress Marilyn Monroe singing happy birthday to him. No one bothers to ask us who we are voting for when white folks are running for office and we gotta choose. Did you complain when Betty Ford went to CLUB 57 back in the day known for doing drugs. Chill on Obama and why he gotta be working every time you see him. Did you complain when Bush was playing golf during the Gulf War and when the country was attacked he was at a school reading a book, he was not at the White House working. That is slave mentality at its highest level. Why aren’t you working since you are taking the time to make a comment on this site.
Look at Nixon.
What about white on white crime. No one wants to discuss that.

BLM may not be protesting, but others are. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/sns-wp-wp-slate-bc-race-comment02-20141002-story.html
Thank you so much for posting this. It’s time to heal hatred and killing among black people. What’s happening in Chicago is an intraracial genocide that has been permitted to go on because black lives haven’t mattered. Thank goodness people are finding the courage to start healing the violence in Chicago.
Well anyone is certainly free to start WLM if they feel the need to protest on behalf of ending white on white violence.
Chik Fil A is very open about being a right wing Christian business. I thought everyone knew that.
There is nothing stupid or brainwashed about believing all violence against black people must end. There is nothing ridiculous about believing black people deserving and worthy of trauma and violence free lives.
Not all black people live in black neighborhoods yet have been victimized by violence by black people.
Trayvon Martin wasn’t in an all white or all black neighborhood and was murdered by a racist Hispanic.
The larger focus is valuing black life and ending every form of violence against black lives period.
Not missing a thing. The food is heavy yet sparsely served. The carry out bags too thin. The lemonade is pure syrup. CFA basically serves white folks (secret) love of fried chicken and sugary tea and lemonade but not having to be around black folks to get it.
The officers are bullied into participating and they are also paid to racial profile black people.
They’re intentionally unorganized. It’s part of being decentralized. Even though they are truly well regulated at the upper levels, they are decentralized on purpose. So when a person who is very much a part of BLM goes and kills someone, they have “plausible deniability”.
All these people with no picture, have a lot to say. Show your face, don’t be a coward. A real man/woman ain’t scare to let people see who they’re talking to.
It’s not right either way
I agree
Envision black vets w/food trucks delivering food,all day long,for black folk afraid to encounter cops on the way to and from the store https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8c03f9578b2fd5138762b29ed2acc5034c68074c957724bf055023d5c3623463.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3285211c9c622bc2daf26e3360b2cbc45226160f95d3dced37b8e9c921fc5d07.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/646854c204fd98beae49ab67790040a8f9101f4021fc43e75e941e4f5bd2e2cb.jpg
people need to get aware of the whole concept of bureaucracy!!
people following orders doesnt mean that they agree with those specific orders-its their job….BUREACRACY!!
it simply means someone on the top is pulling the strings simply bkoz they CAN !!
if u were a police officer/IN THEIR SHOES & ur told by ur boss to do what they did to the BLM protestors, u wud do it too koz u need ur pay-chek!
Based on this incident-im beginning to see that may be SUM conspiracy theories which are real!
my theory is: no change has been done regarding how police officers’ handles people they confront because the top dog/dogs are that influencial!
I brought my own water.
Not even the organizers should have to tell you to bring food and water. You’re grown enough to think for yourself and to plan accordingly, aren’t you? Most people tote water around all day because it’s the new status symbol not to drink tap water.
It’s not ignorance to plan ahead. It’s ignorance to fail to plan ahead.
I’m voting for Saban
They don’t like you because you can think for yourself and see the problems.
Anybody who disagrees with you or points out a problem is “ignorant” or “a fool.” That is a very mature response.
What in the hell is a cave demon? Is it a vampire? Is it the same thing as “beiotch”? Why can’t people make their points rationally without resorting to puerile name-calling?
It’s not rational discourse, either.
Take a seat simp, BLM and BBC matter to your daughters and sisters trust.
Kasim Reed what great leadership as a mayor depriving protestors of food. And people claim to be men of GOD.l Where?!.. Modern Day Uncle Toms at their best. He’s pushing out African Americans of their historic neighborhoods and just doesn’t give a rats ass about the Black population. I maybe wrong but from the outside looking in that’s what it looks like to me
