Roger Grigsby of Santa Cruz, owner and founding chef of O’mei Restaurant, gave $500 to David Duke’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2016. This photo, when posted with the original story on Indymedia on Aug. 17, inspired O’mei customers to boycott the restaurant, which was soon closed after decades of successful operation.

According to Newsweek, David Duke of the Ku Klux Klan praised President Donald J. Trump for supporting the fascists, neo-Nazis, KKK and hate mongering white supremacists who brought blood and violence to the streets of Charlottesville. In 1927, Trump’s father was arrested after a KKK rally in Queens, which may help to shed light on why Trump is a supporter of hate groups and the KKK that helped to bring him into office.

The recent violent white supremacist rally that David Duke attended resulted in the death of Heather Heyer when she was run down by a Nazi sympathizer, who plowed into a crowd of peaceful demonstrators protesting the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Nineteen others were injured.

According to Wikipedia, David Ernest Duke, born July 1, 1950, is an American white nationalist, politician, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, convicted felon and former imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Some have suggested that the best way to fight back against all the hate being spread around by the Trump regime, the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists is by exposing the supporters of hate and violence in the good old USA.


Judging from its Facebook page, O’mei Restaurant, founded in 1979, served great food and was very popular in Santa Cruz – but not now that patrons know about its ties to David Duke. One long time customer wrote: “The owner is a confirmed contributor, $500, to David Duke – anti-Semite, racist and former grand wizard of the KKK. I’ve eaten there for 35 years and, of course, never will again. I hope you won’t either.”

1. How ironic

"Grigsby, who studied Chinese in college and has lived and traveled in Taiwan, complained in an email to KPIX-TV that he was the victim of anti-white persecution."

“We are just a token in a much larger process of terrorizing white European Americans into silence in what has come to be known as the ‘war on whites,'” Grigsby said. “My campaign contribution was to one of the men supporting European American civil rights.
It is unclear if or when the restaurant will reopen.”

2. With that name....

Maybe George Takei can buy the place and shift to an Asian Fusion menu.
