Black Brunch protesters in Excelsior, Minnesota were run out of Maynard’s restaurant Sunday morning by angry customers and staff. The reaction was so swift one protester said they did not have time to take photos.
#BlackBrunchMN at Maynard's was so elevated and violent so fast that I couldn't even tweet or take pictures.

“And now I’m at my family’s house and can’t even process #BlackBrunchMN. Sending love to my protest family.”
“#BlackBrunchMN at Maynard’s was so elevated and violent so fast that I couldn’t even tweet or take pictures.”
Protesters complained the owners put their hands on them, took their signs and encouraged patrons to yell at them.

Customers and staff also rose up against the obnoxious, racist protesters.

“Wow to have a business owner put his hands on protestors & encourage the whole restaurant to swear & yell is just shameful smfh. @MaynardsMN”
In case the anti-white racism of the Black Brunch protest movement was lost on anyone, one of the participants, BlkLiberationProject, retweeted this blatantly racist comment on the Maynard’s protest:

“Can making white people actively uncomfortable be a job? I’d do that in a heartbeat.”
Vanessa, one of the Black Brunch protesters threatened to return.
