Whenever I watch these videos that you share, I think about all of the instances I've been in where I've questioned "authority" or actually acted improperly and how I've walked away just fine. This is the white privilege I think some refuse to acknowledge.
Don't you dare step your foot into a @WaffleHouse again. Do you hear me?
Let me give you the facts here.
1. This couple never even received their food
2. It was a to-go order
3. They disputed a $1.50 charge on the receipt
4. Waffle House called the police - who arrested them.pic.twitter.com/PLXog5WDTO
Black couple arrested after being overcharged @ Waffle House
Let me explain the facts. This couple never even received the food they ordered. It was a to-go order. They disputed a charge for $1.50, called customer service, and Waffle House called the cops.

Why should we have to ask when it is our right as a citizen of the United states to challenge what we believe is unfair treatment

The problem is not calling the police it is the police arresting people for none issues! Just because they are called does not mean they have to arrest someone What state is this?

Goes back further than the Clemons case. This article was written in 1999. IDK why black folks are so loyal to a brand that consistently treats us this way.https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1051855 …

Always getting racial profiled and non POC folks think that we just angry, hostile or loud just for nothing. But non POC would jump up in a heartbeat over kneeling.....this is sad and sickening times here in amerikkka.

I think it is definitely O.K. to be angry. So sorry.

This incident, as well as the others, sends a dangerous message that people can call the police on Black people for any asinine reason. Never liked
@WaffleHouse anyway. -
Like people haven’t been doing that already got years...
