Portland Man Creates ‘Reparations Happy Hour,’ And It’s Exactly What It Sounds Like

I don’t know why liberals are celebrating this. I actually find it incredibly demeaning.

Some progressive out of Portland, Oregon (of course) Cameron Whitten decided to create a little something called “Reparations Happy Hour,” in which white patrons are encouraged to pay for the drinks of “black, brown and indigenous people.”

‘Cause REPARATIONS. You know.

By the way– white people aren’t allowed to be there during the event. They’re encouraged to FUND the event, but they’re not allowed to actually be there, because then it obviously wouldn’t be a “safe space” for minorities. Duh.

Here’s the whole event description.

This event is for white people, too. (But don’t show up physically! Instructions are below.)

White people can show up and support by GIVING reparations. Instead of physically attending, your presence will be felt through your active financial support for healing, leadership, and community building within Portland’s black, brown, and indigenous community.

Our first business sponsor, Backyard Social, has generously offered to host a 10% day on May 21st, donating a percentage of their total sales to Brown Hope. We encourage EVERYONE to show up and buy something–you can come any time during business hours.

$10 will support reparations for one community member, and you are strongly encouraged to donate for more than one participant. Monthly donations are very much needed to sustain the Reparations Happy Hours and the programs of Brown Hope. You can make a one-time donation or recurring contributions here: donorbox.org/brownhope.

About 40 people ended up attending, and over 100 people donated to the cause.

Look. People can do whatever they want. If you want to pay reparations, whatever. If you want to partake, whatever. But please realize how completely stupid it is. That’s all I ask.

You are not oppressed. You are not a victim. At least be honest about it and just admit you want free stuff.
