An Alabama restaurant owner posted an impassioned notice on her Facebook page that she was closing her business Saturday to protest a nearby appearance by asshat Fox News host Brian Kilmeade.Kilmeade, a co-host of Fox & Friends who recently compared border detention facilities to overcrowded house parties, was presenting his live show America: Great from the Start at the Lyric Theatre in Birmingham.
Adeeba Khan, owner of the Shu Shop restaurant near the downtown theater, announced in her post that she was closing up for the day in protest because the event is anti-immigrant, hostile towards brown people, pro-wall, and that goes against what we believe in at Shu Shop.
As a decent human, first and foremost, a person of color, a woman, a second generation immigrant of Pakistani decent, and a Birmingham native, I refuse to contribute to anyones hateful bullshit, she added.
I love my city. This is my city. This is OUR city, Khan said, adding that Kilmeades show flies in the face of everything that MY BIRMINGHAM is about- love, acceptance, knowledge, and RESPECT.
I will not be ok with hosting this asshat in my town. In our town, she wrote, concluding, Stand strong, my friends. I love yall dearly.
