Coffee Shop in NYC?s Gentrified Bed-Stuy Neighborhood Refused to Give Candy to Black Children on Halloween

A caf? in the increasingly gentrified Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of New York City?s Brooklyn borough is looking real funny in the light after reportedly refusing to give candy to black children who came in to trick-or-treat on Halloween.
The Strand Cafe is located at 492 Nostrand Avenue in the heart of historically black Bed-Stuy. Oma Holloway?co-chair of Community Board 3 and chair of the CB3 Education and Youth Committee?told King County Politics that she and fellow CB3 board member Michael Catlyn were in the caf? waiting for food late in the afternoon on Halloween when they witnessed two young black children come in for trick or treat.
When the children approached the counter, the barista told them that the caf? did not have any more candy, so the middle schoolers politely left the caf?. Shortly after, a black mother came in with her two children, and the barista once again said that the caf? did not have any candy. This encounter was followed by two young black girls coming in and being told that the caf? did not participate in the holiday.
Holloway said that when a white mother showed up with her two children, the barista produced a jar of candy from behind the counter and began giving it to the children.
Holloway and her companion had seen enough. They approached the barista, and Holloway said to him: ?You got to be kidding me. Little black kids walk in and you don?t have candy for them, but you have candy for the white kids. This is unacceptable, here or anywhere.?

:guys:
This sucks - Bedstuy used to be the fucking HOOD. :plzstop:
I remember visiting one time and saw people in the street fighting each other with bats :uhh: as everyone watched in the barber shop like it was normal. :udontlookok:
Now there are white people perched turning their nose up.
Bronx is like the last place left in NYC that hasn't been DRENCHED in gentrification.
Even South Queens is getting it. One of my coworkers visited not too long ago and she was like "Umm it's not hood like you said it was growing up and stuff". I always be repping the hood and this bitch gets off the train to see brand spanking new buildings, taxis and mess. Now she thinks I was lying :plzstop:
