DAYUM!!!

TIVERTON, R.I. (WLNE) — A Tiverton restaurant apologized Monday after an anti-Semitic meme was posted on their Facebook page over the weekend.

Atlantic Sports Bar and Restaurant issued the apology following a post shared Sunday that featured a meme of Anne Frank, making reference to the hot weather in an insensitive manner.

The initial post received much backlash and criticism.

Usually I would say, STOP your whining, it was a JOKE!! because it's usually a Karen getting her panties in a twist.. but not this time. This was legitimately BAD.

Yep. As you know :jet: I have an inappropriate sense of humor, but this was too much.

And this part:

"The Atlantic Restaurant prides itself on being a tolerant, inclusive and safe space for all people,” added the restaurant.

:roflmao:

Yes, we see that....

Their FB is gone and they are getting dragged on Yelp. Deservedly.

One of the comments stated that they employee who posted it didn't know who Ann Frank was. Who doesn't know this? Didn't everyone learn about her in school?

“On behalf of myself, I would like to sincerely apologize for the distasteful meme I posted on our Facebook Business page. No excuses should be made, but I must speak on my behalf. I didn’t know, I honestly didn’t know. I am aware that EVERYONE knows who Anne Frank is, but I did not finish school and was working at age 13, so I did not recognize her as I posted the meme about being hot as an oven. Call me stupid or uneducated, but please don’t call me anti-Semitic. I am none of those. I am just someone who googled funny memes and picked the wrong one. As soon as I was made aware, I immediately took it down. I had no idea my mistake would cause so much harm, that was not my intention at all.”

It might have been bad taste but its intent was not anti-semetic.

P.S. in very poor taste and I have a twisted sense of humor and I did laugh.

Right after...

If I was the last 25 years in public school, I can believe it. :sshrug:

But he clearly knew she died in the Holocaust because of the oven reference. So they can stick their BS excuses up their aholes.

And to that I say, "You go first." Because you know what they really mean is, "YOU don't need air conditioning. *I* need it, but YOU don't."
