Matthew Graf Of Oakland You DO See Race! This is to Matthew Graf of Oakland who got on Facebook and wrote that where I see color with respect to who runs the old Serenader, he sees a business then said "at the end, Serenader was owned by an Asian lady".

This has gone way too far. Time to stop. Mathew Graf was implying that the Heart and Dagger was better now because it's owner and customers were white.
