Incident Detail
The incident at Burly Coffee/Better Read Than Dead, which is located on Koscuizsko Street, was captured on video by Rohan Singh at around 9:30 a.m. on June 18. He shared the clip on Twitter writing, “So, this was my morning. I just wanted to get some coffee. But this racist a**hole decided it’s time to educate us and ‘make a protest’ about how ‘all lives matter.’”
“I don’t understand why this is so offensive to you,” the barista said. “To see something saying that ‘Black Lives Matter,’ – “It’s not saying that all lives don’t matter, it’s just saying that black lives matter because they haven’t mattered in this country ever.”
Singh, who said the incident went on for about 20 minutes told Gothamist, “From what the barista told me, the man specifically walked up to complain about either the sign and/or the mask policy. The barista was already trying to get the man to leave when I arrived. I stepped up and harshly told him to leave as well, but he wouldn’t. So then I just started filming.”

In the video, the barista can be heard telling Knofler, “No mask, no service. You need to go.” Knofler points to the “Black Lives Matter” sign in the window and says, “This is the most racist thing out there, I’m not a racist…This is offensive and I want you to take off this sign.”
