Ladies who brunch, with a twist
/Another day, another demonstration by Greenwich whites that they feel their maids’ pain
Justice for Brunch sets up weekend march through central Greenwich
Justice for Brunch, a local group led by six young professionals, aims to disrupt the privilege that exists in Fairfield County while uplifting the Black community and demanding justice for the many Black lives lost in America, said Nicole Rincon, public relations coordinator for the group.
As Glenn Reynolds observed after a Pew analysis showed that only 1 in 6 BLM protesters are black, “It may not save any black lives, but it’s giving new meaning to lots of white lives that are short of significance”.
UPDATE: Reader jimmy Stewart, posing as “zuzupetals”, points out that one of the ladies can’t spell “privilege”. I dunno, maybe she does know better and is just self-identifying with the inner-city illiterates we’re spitting out of our high schools. If so, then perhaps the energy she’s expending to “uplift the black community” would be better devoted to something other than virtue-signaling parades down Greenwich Avenue,
Notes from prison: from GT’s coverage of last week’s march of the privileged, “Burst their Bubble”, comes this remarkable quote from one of town’s own, ex-con and felon, Chip Skowron:
Chip Skowron, a white resident of Greenwich, said, “I have been part of the problem, because I was ignorant and uninvolved. I want to encourage people like me to wake up.”
I don’t remember how many years Chip spent in prison for insider trading, but surely he must have been in long enough to have met a few people there who weren’t his skin color, and who might have experienced problems with getting on in life because of, at least partially, their choice of race. Yet it takes a parade of awakened white ladies to educate him on the issue? Talk about a slow learner.
