Racist Facebook Posts Attributed to Detroit Restaurant Owner Spark Outrage | Eater Detroit

"This downtown bar, also owned by the same restaurateur, has faced renewed criticism not only for the recent alleged racist and violent social-media messages attributed to its owner but for past business practices: when the tavern moved into the former Centaur Bar space in 2019, the owner was widely criticized for attempting to abruptly evict building residents, many of whom were low-income. The recent online exchanges—characterized by commenters as racist, violent, and hostile toward protesters and those raising COVID-19 concerns—spurred negative comments, one-star reviews, and community backlash similar to that directed at the owner’s other establishments; the owner maintains he was reacting to being attacked online and says his family has received threats." - Brenna Houck
