ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An Italian restaurant in New Mexico is drawing criticism on social media for making merchandise with a slogan mimicking the Black Lives Matter movement.

News station KOAT-TV in Albuquerque reports that Paisano's in Albuquerque is selling "black olives matter" shirts and hats after making national headlines for putting the phrase on a sign outside the restaurant.

Owner Rick Camuglia says he emblazoned the phrase on the restaurant's main sign to sell a new recipe: a tuna dish with black olive tapenade.

Camuglia posted pictures of the dish and the sign on Facebook, drawing complaints he was being insensitive and trivializing a movement aimed at trying to stop police shootings of black residents.

Camuglia says he's not trying to stir racial tensions and was only trying to sell food.

Shit, I had forgotten you used to live there. You really ate at this place? Did you eat their black olives? Are you upset at them for their shirt? :)

I really ate at that place. Food was good, I don't like olives of any color, I would buy the shirt and the hat.

Figures. KOAT is ABC. AND .. FYI .. The guy that started this shit lived across the street. We don't even have black f-ing people here.

So if you call a green olive a green olive are you insulting Martians?

I've seen black people in Albuquerque. Both of them...



Seriously though, when I was there my neighbor was a black guy and his family, great bunch of people. He had some nice friends too...

I'm sorry. I'm LMAO, All both of them huh? Were you slumming, or what? :laugh2:

And a couple of my best friends were black. I'm making fun of the bullsh*t, not the people. My best Corporal ever was a black guy. Marines all bleed green. I never even thought of him as a black guy.

It's too bad some people have to make an issue out of a joke.

I just realized....we're all RACISTS, like it or not. We're all BLACK!

Need proof. Go into a dark room with a mirror...turn off the lights, and WHAT DO YOU SEE??:cool:

My apologies to anyone who refuses to laugh because they are so Miserable all the time.

Do you know how to tie laces, or just use a 'whatknot'?:laugh:

I am adept at tying boot laces. You want anything beyond that you get a granny. There's a reason for that rope on the fouled anchor in the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. :laugh:
