He was refused use of a pizza coupon. Then his white friend tried...
http://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article210095814.htmlAlexander said he handed the coupon to an employee of the Hunter Hill Road restaurant, and she went to consult an assistant manager.
"He looks at the card. He looks at me. He was like, 'So where did you get the card from?'" Alexander told WRAL on April 26. He said he got the coupon from his pastor. He wrote about his experience on Facebook and posted a photo of the coupon.
he coupon read: "Present this card at any participating Pizza Inn location." The coupon also had a signature written on a line that read "Presented by."
Alexander said the assistant manager told him the signature had to belong to the restaurant's manager or the district manager, and it did not.
Alexander said he left the restaurant after being told he could not use the coupon.
"To go through an interrogation just for a $7.99, $8.99 buffet?" Alexander told WRAL. "It just doesn't make sense that I had to go through that."
Hours later, Casey took the same coupon to the same restaurant.

sorry that it keeps happening over and over with no end in sight apparently.
white people who feel terrible when they read these things too.
And please remember that racists might be literally too dumb to get over themselves. I don't know if you have read any of the studies that link racism, (and conservatism) to low IQ but here is an article about them. (It was printed right after Ferguson)

Is Racism Just a Form of Stupidity?
I think that a lot of us are shying away from an obvious truth, that the kind of blatant racial prejudice we are witnessing in Ferguson, Missouri, has everything to do with stupidity.
I’m talking about low intelligence, lack of mental ability, cognitive rigidity. The Ferguson racists may be a lot of other things—hateful, insecure—but let’s not sugar-coat what most fair-minded thinkers believe in their hearts: A person of intelligence cannot embrace such authoritarian and racist views.
<snip>
A small cadre of psychological scientists have continued over the years to explore the controversial connection between low intelligence and prejudice, and at this point they have overcome most of the methodological barricades, allowing them to rigorously analyze and answer this important societal question. Two of these researchers—Kristof Dhont of Ghent University, Belgium, and Gordon Hodson of Brock University, in Canada—have been studying the idea and synthesizing the work of others, and they summarize the fruits of this ongoing project in a forthcoming issue of the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science. The short answer is yes—there is a clear, predictable and causal link between low intelligence and prejudice, including racism.

I hope this helps a little. 
Try to point out someone is less intelligent and watch the fireworks begin. The political party that relies on voters being less informed defends their right to be dumb--but still make voting choices that require intelligence and discernment.
But don't be politically incorrect and call racists dumb.
