Review of Shastriji PA Donut Co LLC

I wish you could give zero stars.

I wish you could give zero stars.

This is what I wrote directly to Maple Donuts 2 weeks ago, and have not heard anything back.

I'm a new resident of York, PA and I've eaten your donuts which are very good, but I would be remiss, if I didn't speak up about how offended I am to drive the streets of my new home and see your "Maple Donuts Takes A Stand Not A Knee" signs all over the place. You might as well have a billboard with a Confederate Flag on it. York is a place that is so thick with racial division, you could almost cut it with a knife, and for a business that's suppose to be a pillar of our community, I find it completely irresponsible for you to put those signs up and it makes me as a new African-American resident of York feel like I've moved my wife and children to an unwelcoming city.
It's been said repeatedly by Black players in the NFL, they are kneeling to address racial inequality and police brutality against unarmed Black citizens of this country, so either you don't care that a section of American citizens feel like they don't have the same rights that you take for granted or you just don't pay attention to what these young men are saying. Either way, It would be a better look for one of the community members and business leaders of York to be a beacon of light in an already divisive racial climate, instead of the gasoline poured on that light (starting a racially divisive inferno). York deserves much better than that.
