    Racism is dead and gone though. Also, what's clear is that all over the nation people use the police like a white power enforcement squad against Black customers.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/991352159626149888 …

    I kid you not, this Black couple was seated, given menus, and prepared to order when they were asked to move to a different table because a "white regular" wanted to sit there. When they refused to move, of course, they threatened to call the police. @Sambuca360 in Plano pic.twitter.com/WG5NsmlRDT

        Even if we generously assume race wasn’t a factor (which I’m not) manager has no business managing anywhere.

        Seek out black businesses even if they are out of the way. Don’t get mad just move your money to your community. You want to make them mad support your own economy.

        CLEARLY RACISIM!!! “Why am I leaving? Because I am asking you to leave. Why?” asked Wimbrey. “Because I don't like you,” responded the manager.

        Whoa. Even more egregious than I thought! Assumed perhaps they were lingering after their meal, which wd hv been bad enough, but this?! For all my fellow WP that protest there is no privilege, there sure are a lot of us that play the privilege card. SMDH.

        I’m not sure when but I believe it was sometime ago a movement. What if all black communities did not go out or spend $1 for 3 days in any businesses how much of an impact would that be?
