Protesters march, block traffic in San Luis Obispo

Here we go again with their “disruption” as they call it.

I’ve lost many hours of my life watching the so called speeches at their rallies since the first one was aired by RACE SLO back in June 1st. If you want to watch some of their goals and objectives go to RACE SLO’s Facebook page and watch the video links. There you will see who the main actors are.

Courtney Haile of RACE MATTERS is spearheading these rallies. She is friends with Michelle Arata and on the first time Tiana was introduced to the crowd by Courtney on June 1st, Tianna was timid and told a “story” about how she and a few friends recently held a peaceful march with a small party in SLO and during this protest she was accosted by a white male in a car who yelled racial slurs at her. A few minutes later this same person came back and drove onto the sidewalk and nearly struck her, all while in the presence of her mother who has to witness this terrible ordeal of blatant racism. The following week, June 8th, this same person Tianna, her mother, the CAL POLY QB, and others were actively extorting downtown businesses that boarded up their windows. Then more protests, which escalated to the July 21st episode. All the while, RACE MATTERS SLO was sitting back and promoting on their social media all of these “rallies” and they became the mouthpiece for FREE TIANNA and all of the recent actions by this group.

Ironically, the fundraising event that sold raffle tickets in mid June raised over $9,000 that went directly to RACE MATTERS SLO, was coordinated by BLACKWATER BOUTIQUE in downtown SLO, which is owner who is a board member of Downtown SLO, and is also associated with Michelle Arata as she was a former employee and they had Tianna model for them prior to the June incidents. Don’t believe me, look at BLACKWATERS Facebook page and you will see Tianna modeling for them prior to June 2020. BLACKWATER also collected money for this raffle, sadly many of these businesses who donated gift cards and other items came from the shakedown from the week of June 8th by the Arata’s and the Cal Poly Qb and other associates.

Courtney Haile was Exposed by CCN last month regarding her involvement with the extortion, but because she was not personally present at these meeting they had with business owners she has escaped personal implications.

Courtney Haile is also a Board member for SLO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, who has been losing memberships since some of these conflicts started to arise, but instead of removing Courtney from the BOD, they are standing behind her, even though she is actively promoting the destruction of businesses, including those that are paying members to the chamber.

It’s simple, Tianna Arata, her mother, the Cal Poly group and the Cal Poly students who are doing these actions are puppets to RACE MATTERS SLO.

Demand that SLO CHAMBER remove Courtney Haile from the BOD and to further make a statement that they denounce these groups extorting businesses and their own members.

Demand that Downtown SLO remove Mary Alice from its BOD. Her complicity goes against their code of conduct and should be expelled based on their own bylaws.

If you remove the puppet masters you will solve a lot of what the soldiers orders and momentum will be. Remember, these kids are being lied and lead by people who have ulterior motives.
