Mayor
this will backfire. Now we'll have to let businesses charge blacks more as a way of keeping blacks out of their store.

march 2 2018 Can a $12 lunch change the way people think about racial wealth disparity in America? How about a $30 lunch? That's the premise behind a social experiment playing out in a New Orleans food stall.

Chef Tunde Way opened his pop-up stall in the city's Roux Carre venue in early February. The listed price for the Nigerian food is $12. But when white people walk up to order, they are asked whether they want to pay $30. Why? "It's two-and-a half times more than the $12 meal, which reflects the income disparity" between whites and African-Americans in New Orleans, says Wey.

The median income for African-American households in New Orleans fell from $32,332 in 2000 to $27,812 in 2013 in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to The Data Center's New Orleans Index at Ten. Over the same time, median income for white households in the city remained roughly the same, $61,117 to $60,070. In 2013, the median household income for African-Americans in metro New Orleans was 54 percent lower than for whites.

Pulease.... its in a city that was dubbed a "chocolate city" by its disgraced former mayor and the remaining white people haven't left yet? You know they are taking big gulps out of the white apologist kool aide on a regular basis. The probably go there and buy lunch for their whole offices just so they can tell each other how socially aware they are...
 
Wow, that's like Blacks paying more in the housing market than whites for housing of the same quality ... except that whites can always get their food somewhere else.
 
I think the self hating white males do it hoping blacks won’t beat them up or bang their women and white women do it hoping to get banged by a black man.

If Blacks "overpay" for housing its either because their credit sucks, or they can't negotiate very well. That - as usual - is on them.

They don't overpay for housing at a rate higher than anyone else. That's just racist propaganda from the commie left.

It's one of those Democrats food experiments...Like back in the day when they tried making People of color order from the back of the restaurant. Violating peoples rights, civil or criminal...It's what a democratic does.

I wonder what the owner says to someone born and raised in Africa, say from Morrocco or Algeria who looks white.

I could not find anything reputable on my quick search backing up his claim. But I do know that people with bad credit -pay more to rent and to buy. And that people with little real estate experience and resources to draw on with real estate experience - often overpay for their initial home purchase. So, I can see where if you don't know what you are doing, and your credit sucks you could pay more. Additionally if you get into a bidding war with people and your lending isn't as solid I can see where you may offer a higher price. But, its certainly not indicative of anything other than choices people make themselves.

You know that is true...When Democrats are involved, a persons rights are no longer valid. The real questions why do you liberals insist on violating peoples rights?

Can a white person set up a restaurant and charge black people extra? If not then it is just as wrong for a person of another color to charge other colors extra.

Is the restaurant owner so bigoted that he charges only certain white people perceived to be from northern Europe vs the Hispanic variety of white people?

And blacks cannot? I wonder what people of color in New York do? Go to New Orleans. Time for you to shut your " I will say anything including lying to make my point" liberalass up.

You are the racial divide. America does not need people like you who treat blacks as not equal.

If one race systematically has worse credit than another, it's because of discrimination that has led to social inequality.

There's also redlining, of course.

This restaurant is almost certainly run by a white person. It's more akin to a senior citizen discount than to invidious racial discrimination.

You mean where lenders have determined that the neighbhoods are too risky and that loans in certain places not only have a high risk of default but also have a high risk that they won't be worth the loan balance should the lender need to forclose - so they don't lend there.

Yes, that is a good business practice. The lesson of course - is to buy in a better neighborhood. A more reliable neighborhood. A more socially stable neighborhood with more stable real estate prices and low crime statistics where the property values are more likely to stay elevated.
