Deli Owner Hangs White Pride Sign In Window, Promptly Goes Out Of Business

[kpete]

The sign created an immediate backlash and Boggess’ deli was inundated with angry calls and messages. For his part, Boggess seemed baffled by the whole thing. Speaking with NJ.com after five days of scandal, Boggess said it was just a misunderstanding:

“Boggess explained yesterday, ‘I love everybody, and everybody should celebrate what they are,’ and ‘I shouldn’t have to feel bad about being white….’

‘I never meant it to be a black/white thing. I only meant it to be a white thing.’ But some people ‘twisted the meaning’ of the sign…”

Needless to say, customers stopped showing up to Boggess’ shop. He eventually took down the sign, but the damage to his reputation was already done. Now, just a month and half later, Boggess says he’s essentially bankrupt.

1. Boggess is creating a bogus scandal hoping to copy Memories Pizza's $800k+ GoFundMe

situation.

3. Fool. Comments at the link say much also..not end well, indeed.

Think general public is just fed up with this & don't care to be drawn into taking a side just for a stupid sandwich.

5. Funny one was the black kid who had no problem with White History Month

I don't know whether that's good news or bad! I guess it is good since he doesn't feel discriminated against enough to even realize why there was a black history month - which people explain to him there.

6. Saw that too. Unless he wasn't really black.? Never know with comments.

I like that gofundme only got him $65.
Enough to fill his gas tank to drive for job interviews I guess.

Duh.

7. He had a Facebook photo there

but yeah, good that it's not working for the asshole. And since most of his customers are probably white people -a guess based on his views - that white people too dislike what he did.

It's funny because it worked for the homophobe pizza owner because that issue is more near and dear to religious fanatics, but even they don't care much about this.
