But, of course, this wasn’t just\u00a0any cake.\u00a0<\/em>This was a cake with feelings:\u00a0a super-racist, super-homophobic capitalist cake<\/em>. And the protesters knew that because it was made in the shape of a red hat that said “Make America Great Again” on it.<\/p>\n The bakery’s owner, Rachel Dott, had posted images of the cake on social media in late July, which catalyzed the protests.<\/p>\n But supporters of the bakery also showed up. According to\u00a0the Times Union<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Black Lives Matter protesters,<\/strong>\u00a0who also alleged a member of the Cocca family was sympathetic to the right-wing group known as the Proud Boys, were equipped with bullhorns but they\u00a0were greatly outnumbered by anti-protesters who waved American flags and encouraged passing vehicles to honk in support.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Colonie police officers stood between the two groups keeping them separated as much as possible. State Police troopers and Albany County Sheriff’s deputies also were on the scene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The two groups got “face-to-face” and were “yelling at each other”, the article says.\u00a0“Hey, hey, ho, ho, racism has got to go,” the BLM group was shouting (reminder: still about a cake<\/em>).<\/p>\n One protester said: “They’re able to feel what they feel about their politics.\u00a0We have issues when it comes to social injustice as in firing someone because they’re gay, wearing ‘All Lives Matter’ masks.”<\/strong><\/p>\n None of those things were reported to have happened at the bakery they chose to protest at.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/aaa%20bakery%203.jpg?itok=yqaOlQZp\")
