Targeted: Once inside, they 'disrupted' customers' meals by reading out the names of African-Americans killed by police, including Michael Brown, 17, who was shot dead by officer Darren.
Black "victims" harass white people who are all oppressors, racists and support "killer" police. How propaganda keeps getting weirder and weirder.

In each eatery invasion, they called out the names of unarmed black men killed in confrontations with cops, such as Eric Garner in Staten Island and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.
New York restaurants such as Lallisse, Maialino and Pershing Square were reportedly targeted for loud meal-time disruptions. Big Apple organizers likened their brunch attacks to 1960s sit-ins.
[. . .]
“What were sit in in the 60s but disrupting business as usual?” they wrote under the Twitter handle @BlackBrunchNYC. “Then and now we can’t let people ignore an unjust system.”
Organizers said they were targeting “white spaces” so Caucasian brunch-goers could grasp the injustices faced by African-Americans at the hands of cops.
[. . .]
Surprisingly, the protesters were often greeted with support by their targets.
At Forge restaurant in Oakland, customers and manager Katherine Pinson, 33, embraced the movement.
“I think it’s beautiful,” Pinson told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s a message that needs to be heard, and if they have to disrupt business and daily life for a minute, then I’m glad we could help.”

Dozens of demonstrators today stormed restaurants and targeted white diners in New York and California as part of a 'Black Brunch' protest against alleged police violence.
Carrying banners, the chanting protesters entered a number of venues in New York City that they identified as 'white spaces', including midtown eateries: Lallisse, Maialino and Pershing Square.
Once inside, they 'disrupted' customers' meals by reading out the names of African-Americans killed by police, including Michael Brown, 17, who was shot dead by officer Darren Wilson last August.
Addressing staff and patrons, they shouted: 'Every 28 hours, a black person in America is killed by the police. These are our brothers and sisters. Today and every day, we honor their lives.'
[. . .]
Alongside an image of protesters inside a New York restaurant, Sharmin Ultra, tweeted: 'We interrupt your brunch time to let you know there is a war on Black lives. We will not stay silent.'
Another, using the handle @telushk, wrote: 'We're asking brunchgoers to STAND for black life. A good number in the last spot stood or raised their fists.
[. . .]
Although the demonstration has been largely peaceful - with no arrests made - there have been several reports of protesters getting into heated discussion with staff and customers.
And while many have applauded the nonviolent tactic online, other social media users have mocked it and some have even criticized it as 'pathetic' and 'ridiculous'.
