This makes no sense. Who's going to see this tag and have sympathy for the owners? A normal person sees it and thinks "whoever did that is an idiot," and then there's the subset of the population who sees it and thinks "there go those wacky black folks again, always playing the race card and trying to get sympathy." Nobody is going to see it and think "damn, that place really should have a liquor license."

Not to mention, if the issue has already been decided, how would the owners even benefit from random passersby having sympathetic thoughts about them? I'm tying my brain into knots just trying to follow your reasoning.
