White Person Makes Restaurant Ask Party Of 25 Blacks To Leave? (VIDEO)


Is there a question when one patron’s hue supersedes the economics of 25 black patrons? For every two steps forward that are made against racism, there seem to be a step backward. This one reported incident is likely statistically representative of many that go unreported.

And the North Charleston franchise in particular.

Hundreds and hundreds of comments on their Facebook page, many of them mine.

linked me to some kind of "update" (for something I'd never heard of) that tried repeatedly to download to my computer. . .

4. Blacks Asked to Leave Wild Wing Cafe because White Customer Felt Threatened

A group of 25 Black people waited two hours to get in a Wild Wing Cafe restaurant in North Charleston, South Carolina, only to be asked to leave almost immediately after entering the restaurant because a white customer felt “threatened” by their presence. One member of the group, MIchael Brown, took his complaint to Facebook when the corporate office of the restaurant did not call him back after placing several calls.

Mr. 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 peacefully 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 saw a group of black people at my table completely ignoring the chef and bitching about how slow they were getting their food and staring at their cell phones.

I thought the reason to go to Benihana was that the cook provides the entertainment. I'd never seen any other people ignoring the chef before.
Or maybe I'm just dense.



Yeah, you're gonna flame me. I've never seen any white or Asian people ignoring the chef.
