SELF PROCLAIMED “BLACK QUEER WOMAN” LOSES BAR AND BLAMES WHITE SUPREMACY FOR LOSS.
Opening a business is hard. It takes a fair amount of capital, recognizing your intended clientele, selling something there is a demand for and some luck. Henderson, North Carolina’s Black Star Line Brewery was clearly missing some of the key ingredients to a thriving business as they are now closed.
Black Star Line Brewery (BSLB) had a good start they were given $50,000 to run their business. BSLB did suffer from numerous break-ins and were vandalized back in November, but the community responded and tried to rally together to help them through tough times.
“Black Star Line has soldiered on with substantial participation from the WNC community. Representatives of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. traveled to Hendersonville to repair Black Star Line’s damaged equipment. New Belgium Brewing and Wedge Brewery are both donating proceeds from beer sales at their respective taprooms to the brewery, and Black Star Line’s GoFundMe campaign has been reinstated due to requests from the community for opportunities to contribute. Additionally, a keg swap with nearby Sanctuary Brewing Co. on Nov. 19 was met with a resoundingly positive response.
“We took kegs to Sanctuary and they brought some over here, and tons of people turned out,” says Naranjo. “We had people coming from all over the place. There was even one couple from Rhode Island. It went really well — we ran out of beer by the end of the night,” says Naranjo.”
But fast forward to today and they have closed their doors and if their attitude is any measure of their hospitality it’s not hard to figure out why they didn’t make it. They posted the following on their facebook in response to their closing.
“Like many people of color on this land, displacement at the hands of white supremacists policies and institutions is not past, but present.”
The Brewery instead of taking any fault decided it was best to blame “The White Man.” When they lived in an area that was oversaturated with bars and they had a slew of problems that had nothing to do with race. They even posted about the many issues they had on Facebook.

But I guess the free market and glaring inadequacies have saved us all from having to dodge a place like this. Good riddance.
Always easier to blame others, especially if it’s already a hot issue and causing division between races. This was their baby from the beginning and they blew it! So much easier to sit and play the victim.
Sounds like poor management.
Shaking the race card in ANY business is an act of moronism!
Why? Because RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, they are ostracizing potential paying customers.
I have to think that with the racial spew they threw out there in the end, there HAD to be racial/ SJW overtones present in their day to day operations that folks picked up on. What we call in the bar/ restaurant business as bad vibes and bad juju…
Politics and business don’t mix. Period.
Don’t blame the whites for your failure. Blame those who started all this racial division in the country. Like OBOZO the CLOWN. Sorriest president ever and he failed everyone. Along with the Wicked Witch of the East, Clinton, She has her hand in the division of this country as well…
No, I’m not a racist. I treat everyone the same way I want to be treated. The color of your skin does not fit into the equation of being disrespectful. I’ll treat you the same way you treat me… It goes both way.
HOW DID THE SONG GO….BEFORE YOU ACCCUSE ME…TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF
It’s easy to blame the whites for all black failure. The reason we gave them the capital to start up.
Solution, don’t give them a damn thing
