The business and restaurant review company Yelp announced they will begin placing red flag warnings on businesses with publicly-documented cases of racist behavior.

The announcement was greeted with cheers by the liberal community, who hope to use the tool to harass business owners.

But it comes the same week as Planned Parenthood released the result of an internal audit documenting decades of racist behavior at the abortion chain, prompting some to ask if Yelp will place a public warning against Planned Parenthood.

“As the nation reckons with issues of systemic racism, we’ve seen in the last few months that there is a clear need to warn consumers about businesses associated with egregious, racially-charged actions to help people make more informed spending decisions,” Yelp announced in a company blog post.

“Now, when a business gains public attention for reports of racist conduct, such as using racist language or symbols, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to inform users, along with a link to a news article where they can learn more about the incident,” Yelp announced.

When a business is publicly reported to have engaged in racist behavior, that company’s Yelp review will be covered up by a warning window with a red exclamation point.

The words “Business Accused Of Racist Behavior” appear in bold type and users must click through before they can learn anything else about the company.

It comes just days after an internal investigation by Planned Parenthood led the abortion chain to admit that not only had the company engaged in racist behavior but its very origins are racist.

“Dozens of employees for Planned Parenthood are saying they encountered continued instances of racism within the national wing of the organization,” the Washington Examiner reports. “The organization commissioned the Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance group to conduct an internal audit, which was based on interviews with 64 current and 12 former black employees.”

Despite operating over 600 clinics nationwide, Planned Parenthood has so few black employees all identifying information had to be removed when the audit was published.  The group was founded by Margaret Sanger for the expressed purpose of making birth control widely available in order to limit reproduction by blacks and the poor.

“Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s leadership is committed to confronting the organization’s legacy of white supremacy head-on, and the cultural assessment conducted by [Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance] is an important component of the comprehensive and meaningful work we are undertaking to create belonging and equity,” Melanie Newman, Planned Parenthood’s head of communications and culture said in a statement.

Does this mean Yelp will red-flag Planned Parenthood?

  1. Just remember the Democrat party is the party that hob nob with the rich and famous and is for looks only. All the budget money the Dems calculate for the year only enriches them and not who they represent. They are the mean kids and always have and probably always will be sadly. When Trump decided to run I switched over to the Republican party only because I have been following Trump for years and really know what he’s like. He’s consistent with everything he’s ever done. He used to be pro-abortion and a Democrat only because he hadn’t seen the videos of how late term abortions are done, horrific. He was disgusted with the left getting rich off of the backs of the little people like you and I.

  2. “Yelp announced they will begin placing red flag warnings on businesses with publicly-documented cases of racist behavior.”

    What does publicly-documented really mean?

  3. I wonder if this will include the NYT that was founded by a slave owner from a family that owned slaves. And I have never heard of the NYT renouncing their founder nor his family for owning slaves. And actually, I have never heard Kamala Harris renouncing her grandfather for owning slaves.

    1. That is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard….. a Person can NOT be judged and persecuted for something they had no involvement or knowledge of ! Actually, that was the most stupid post I have read ! How is a person to know if their distant relatives owned slaves or denounce someone for something they had no control of !

  4. So, when Yelp accuses someone of being “racist”, they’ll include a “news” article?
    Really, a “news” article?
    How stupid do they think we are? “News” articles, in current times, are, more often than not, just pure propaganda that would make even Josef Goebbels scream “LIARS!” at them.
    And you can bet they will NOT denounce BabyKillers ‘R Us….

  5. I can thoroughly understand Planned Parenthood’s admissions to the racist agenda, but I am more concerned that many businesses will be deemed racist over some non-Racist Petty reports that are false . I am concerned that many businesses could have bad reviews and even shut down or burned to the ground by rioters. The word “ RACIST “ has been run into the ground, used improperly and hurt many, many people when not true. I am VERY worried that White Businesses would be hit very hard when accused of racism just for being a White owned business !
