Sabrina Pyle owns Azle Café in Tarrant County. She admits that Monday wasnt her best day.
Yesterday I came up with this incredible, ingenious idea for what I thought would bring people in for lunch, Pyle said.
She quickly learned from a friend that Mondays special of chicken and waffles with a side of watermelon wasnt such a good idea.
After she brought it to my attention, I did take it down. But I didnt realize it had already been shared, Pyle said. I just did something distasteful. I just didnt think it through.

just do not realize, as people who have to experience this type of constant assault, how racism is so intertwined in the subconscious daily lives of the people who feel entitled to say and think anyway they please and when something like this occurs always try to end up the aggrieved party while always denying wrong thinking about another human being with different skin color. After all these generations, this type of thinking is too fixed and implanted to the point I think it's hereditary now. Trump and his deplorables proves this widespread racist type thinking with action and consequence of their ignorance and stupidity to be widely experienced shortly by ALL americans.
