Why offer discounts when niggers 200% of the time steal bikes anyway? I'm going to laugh so hard when a gang of bucks walk in, demand a bigger discount, walk out without the bikes because they're "owed more," then go back and burn down the store.
But in retail, one well-regarded bicycle brand led by an industry legend is innovating a more direct approach to address racial inequality: reparations in the form of a 45% discount for Black customers.
Rivendell Bicycle Works, based in Walnut Creek, Calif., is offering the discount not because they are “a nice thing to do, but because they’re owed,” Grant Petersen, Rivendell’s president and founder, wrote in a post explaining the new policy.
The company had been informally “dabbling” with this policy since July 2018 for walk-in customers and has sold three bikes and a few accessories at the discount. But amid this year’s racial justice movement and COVID-19 limiting walk-in customers — Rivendell is sold across the country but also maintains a brick-and-mortar presence at its HQ— the company moved to make it official and will kick off the program Oct. 12.
The company is allocating 10% of its bikes for the discount and will not raise prices on other bikes to pay for the program.
