Dozens from Louisville’s Cuban community gathered in NuLu on Sunday evening for a rally in support of an immigrant-owned restaurant that pushed back against demands for greater Black representation in NuLu.
The rally was organized after Fernando Martinez, a Cuban immigrant and partner of the restaurant group behind La Bodeguita de Mima, closed the restaurant at 725 E Market St over the weekend due to protests in NuLu. Protesters were demanding local businesses in this neighborhood increase the representation of Black products in their stores and Black people in their staffs, among other requests. Martinez, who has denounced the demands, said he was threatened by protesters.
On Sunday, Martinez explained his issue was not with Louisville’s Black community but with “socialism,” which he said he escaped in leaving Cuba for the U.S.
“We’re here to work. We’re dreamers. We’re people who love freedom and love this country,” Martinez said about Cuban-Americans. “This is not a race fight. This is an idea fight.”
The demands from protesters were intended as a redress to two decades of redevelopment in NuLu and surrounding neighborhoods, which displaced Black residents. After Martinez said he and his restaurant were threatened, the Cuban community rallied to his support.
Rally attendees carried several signs mostly denouncing socialism: “No 2 Socialism in America.” “Justice 4 All.” “We Are Peaceful People But Don’t Tread On Us.” The rally featured many white and Black Kentuckians as well as locals with heritage from Cuba and Venezuela. Although some individuals affiliated with the BLM protests were present, there was no organized counter-demonstration.
When reached by phone, Talesha Wilson, an antiracist activist who has organized BLM demonstrations in NuLu, called the counter-rally at La Bodeguita “childish” and “performative.” If Martinez felt threatened, Wilson said, he should have reached out to leaders of the NuLu demonstrations, who until recently considered him an ally.
“There were ways for him to deal with it other than calling out a whole movement of people,” she said. “He needs to take into consideration that there are going to be bad apples everywhere.”
In a widely-shared Facebook post, Louisville Urban League CEO Sadiqa Reynolds expressed dismay in Martinez’s stance. “I understand that the owner of La Bodeguita De Mimi [sic] has decided to proactively organize against the idea that Black Lives Matter. Rather than respond to demands tendered, even in the negative, and affirm that he is aware of the pain our people are in, instead he chooses to highlight what he believes is his superiority,” Reynolds wrote, saying she wouldn’t patronize Martinez’s restaurants.
One of the speakers at Sunday’s rally was Ahamara Brewster, general of the Revolutionary Black Panther Party of Kentucky, who denounced the tactics of the BLM protesters as “terroristic.”
“That was another thing that was upsetting: You’re attacking a Black/brown establishment, but you’re in the name of Black Lives Matter,” Brewster said. “Something’s weird about this.”
Brewster spoke at the NuLu rally in solidarity with the Cuban community, asking attendees to support Louisville’s Black community by donating to Black-led organizations. She met with several members of the local Cuban community last week in a bid to open a dialogue and establish a cross-cultural understanding between the Cuban and Black communities of Louisville.
Berta Weyenberg, president of the Cuban American Association of Kentucky, estimated there are 250,000 Cubans in Kentucky. In an interview, she emphasized that Cuban Americans were committed to the values and ideals of their adopted country.
“We came here not because we wanted to come. We fell in love with your city and your country after being here because you welcomed us,” she said. “We are here to defend the freedom that you all gave us that we didn’t have.”
Martinez, a vocal online critic of communism, said the city needs unity, which is undermined by internet recriminations.
“With the internet nowadays, you’re easily and quickly discounted and disqualified. ‘Oh, you don’t agree with everything I believe? You’re a racist, you’re a bigot, and that’s that,’ ” he said. “There’s people out there trying to define me as a man and trying to define my business, and they don’t know who we are.”
Makes sense lol. I was picturing something like this: https://streamable.com/16ivcs
Stun guns are terrible weapons. You have to get up close to someone, find an area with no clothing or thin clothing, and use it until they comply due to pain. It doesn't even incapacitate them like a real taser.
You'd be much better off with pepper gel (rather than spray) if you're worried about collateral. Pepper spray takes effect more quickly and causes a bit more pain, but you'll get some on yourself if you're in an enclosed area or the wind blows the wrong way.
Projectile tasers work about half of the time due to thick clothing and inaccuracy, and you can't do followup shots like you can with pepper spray.
When India sends its people to US, they're sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people who have lots of money, and they're bringing that money with them. They're bringing skills. They're bringing high IQs. And some, I assume, are rapists.
But I speak to immigration agents and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. They're sending us the right people.
It's coming from more than India. It's coming from all over oriental east-asia, and it's coming probably - probably from Israel. But we know. Because we have average household income statistics, we know what's happening. And it's gonna stop india from becoming a superpower by 2020, they're destined to stay a shithole forever... unless Modhi purifies the country.
Good stream for portland, things are starting to heat up:

Why did we even have "diversity" immigration in the first place? I'm all for taking in cubans fleeing communism directly to florida, and taking in a bunch of rich people who actually have the employment to make them net contributors... but diversity? Is that like just importing more Ethiopians so that they can work as kitchen slaves?
They also lied on the immigration forms which asked if they have any connections to communism.

450 people got that, out of the 45,000,000 people who were vaccinated. At that rate if 100% of the current population had already been vaccinated, 3300 would have been paralyzed. That's only 2.5% of the amount of people who have already died from the kung flu.
A few months ago SFPD prohibited their officers from wearing Blue Lives Matter masks or patches. Now they're making them wear the posters. It's only going to get worse if they keep bending the knee.
Some day they'll be wearing the LGBT bee costume and expressing their support for catching people committing hate speech, and they'll wonder how they got there.
This is america. You can buy an MRAP and park it in your driveway without any paperwork, in nearly every state. In most states you can own a tank with a functional cannon too, you just have to pay your cuckstamp to the ATF.
Used armored military vehicles are pretty cheap, they're just not very comfortable. They pop up on auction sites all the time.
I may not agree with them on everything, but AnCaps are based. Watch Stefan Molyneux sometime.

They're more likely to drown in their backyard pools during their extended vacation than they are to get coronavirus from school.
Get rid of drunk driving laws, unironically. Don't bother testing what drugs/alcohol someone is on, if they're not able to drive safely (tired, high, angry, etc), pull them over and treat them like a drunk. If someone is intoxicated but completely able to drive safely, like the millions of people who drive drunk without incident every year, let them go.
