South Carolina restaurant ejected African-American customers when white person felt ‘threatened’
NORTH CHARLESTON (WCSC) -
Michael Brown says he was celebrating his cousin's last day in Charleston last month at Wild Wing Cafe in North Charleston. He says after his party of 25 waited two hours for a table, the shift manager told them there was a "situation."
"She said there's a situation where one of our customers feels threatened by your party, so she asked us not to seat you in our section, which totally alarmed all of us because we're sitting there peaceably for two hours," explains Brown. "Obviously, if we were causing any conflict, we would have been ejected out of the place hours before."
Brown says while he was talking to the shift manager, someone in his group began videotaping the conversation. Brown says that's when the manager became upset and refused to seat them.
"I asked her I want to be clear with you," says Brown. "I said so you're telling me I have to leave. She said I have a right to deny you service. I said so you're asking me to leave because you're upset because he was recording you, after we've waited for two hours, and after you've already pretty much discriminated on us, and she answered yes.

"these people are regulars & just didn't receive the service they expected". They went on to offer everyone in the party a free meal as a peace offering.
This is some damn bullshit. After waiting for two hours you kick them out, because some lady is uncomfortable. Maybe someone should let these idiots know segregation is illegal & if you can't deal with the intermingling then you should stay the fuck home.
Fuck wild wing & the idiots that work there, I hope they sue the shit out of those fuckers.
