On another note...I will NEVER frequent @Bellasrestaurant again. I met Doug Muir for the first time a couple of weeks ago at the @tomtomfestival...and I didn't expect this from him, but if this is how he feels, he doesn't have anything else to say to me. I would encourage everyone in the city to boycott the restaurant. I would also implore the @theuniversityofvirginia and the Darden School of Business @dardenmba (One that's celebrating Diversity Week) to address this issue immediately. The notion that #BlackLivesMatter can be comparable to the Klu Klux Klan is not only incredibly misguided, but goes to show the lack cultural awareness that still plagues many professors at our Universities across the country. An organization, a movement, a collective body that aims to empower Black People, and rally allies is not a terroristic organization, but one that aims to collective bring people together to address systemic oppression and racism, amongst other things, is here to stay. If #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 offends you, makes you feel uncomfortable, or makes you believe that we are similar to the KKK...just understand this, times are changing, the movement is moving, and a people oppressed will no longer remain silent. We have support from the highest of the high to the lowest of the low, and WE are here to STAY and WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CREATE CHANGE!!! #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #BoycottBellas You have my number Frank Muir, I'll await your call so that you can get the cultural training that you need. We can make a day, a week, a month, or however much time of it to get you where you need to be!

  • jgakagigi#BLM IS RACIST AND YOUR ALL FOLLOWING AND NOT LEADING. THERE NO LONGER FREEDOM OF SPEECH. IT'S A SAD DAY IN THE USA WHEN PEOPLE ARE FIRED FOR THEIR OPINION. AFRICAN AMERICANS YOUR BEING USED! WAKE UP
  • citizen_cane17He's correct BLM = Black Clan. I can't wait until Trump is President and it's officially recognized as a domestic terrorist group and sued out of existence.
  • calderonejonI find it funny how when a white man gives his opinion (which i agree with fully since I witnessed it with my own eyes in Philly at the DNC) Hes called a racist. Racism is a two way street asshole!
  • enchantedwater#BlackLivesMatter is a movmemt for thigs, rioters, and the just damm ignorant. Its a black KKK as surely as the Black Panthers are. Disgusting.
  • cavscout0904@vicemayorwesb Why is it wrong for Muir to state his opinion about #blacklivesmatter? While i may not agree with everything he says there are ppl on both side of the issue that say disgusting things. Why is it ok for #blacklivesmatter to opine on everything from police brutality to the defense of known thugs (in some cases) but not ok for others to disagree? This itself is a form of discrimination is it not? How can you or an organization be fighting (in alot of cases honorably) for equal rights and the opening of a dialogue but shout down opinions that matter to others? If someone can answer that rationally im all ears.
  • brie_venturesYou sound like a bunch of bigots, ALL lives matter. Identifying that only black lives matter is quintessentially racism. He could have selected better words I absolutely agree. There are arguments and opinions to both sides, let's look at this equally and justly beyond the color of skin but as the actions of men and women.
  • memascrochetThe ignorance of cultural differences needed to be called out!! Once these so-called higher ups see this is necessary maybe change can unfold. Thank you for speaking out on it!!💖💖
  • terry_hamiltonIgnorant
  • jncapheightsWho is some podunk vice mayor, to encourage a boycott of a business of the town? THAT is an ignorant way to "change" things.
  • jdeas2013If #BLM isn't racist then what is it? This is ignorant on so many levels.
  • powerprickThe professor is absolutely correct in his assessment of blm. The current liberal hysteria on the subject just confirms it. Blm is a bunch of ignorant, violent, aggressive imbeciles, completely useless in real life. All they do is destruct and divide. This is the only way they know how to operate - scream "racist" or just bully anyone who dares to say different. Basket of degenerates. Can't wait till Trump is president so all this liberal leftist scum will be shown its true fitting place - under the bank bed.
  • jas.watsSounds like he got it exactly right.
  • jas.watsFired? This professor should be made mayor and dump the old one in the gutter where he belongs.
  • dennisfraudman@dwise21 noooo not bellas
  • ohio93Mr. Muir happens to be right... look at the crazy leftists! hahahaha
  • king_rampageBLM is a hate group and you are pos liberal scum.
  • gossdouglasBlm is a racist organization. They organize to promote black goals for the benefit of blacks. That's racism.
  • christianwhyBLM? Darden? The KKK? Oh, now I understand why Darden never hired me!!
  • harleygirlnikSo, it's not okay for Frank to speak out against THEM, but it's okay for you, as the VICE MAYOR, to call for a BOYCOTT of a BUSINESS in your city?! Wow. That makes TOTAL SENSE. Just like the rioting/burning/looting makes TOTAL SENSE to protest injustice. Ugh.
