Racist Incident at a Nationally Known Restaurant.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

The Washington Post

Buffalo Wild Wings asked a group to move because a customer didn’t ‘want black people sitting near him.’ The staff has been fired.
By Teo Armus

The Vahls went out on a Saturday night near Chicago in search of dinner.

But the family and their party, a mostly African American group of parents and young kids celebrating a birthday, say they faced discrimination head-on instead when staff at a Buffalo Wild Wings repeatedly ordered them to leave their table — all because another customer did not want to sit next to black people.

Now, the incident has gone viral, the staff has been fired, and the restaurant chain is facing backlash after yet another troubling example of public discrimination captured online.

“If you don’t want to sit next to certain people in a public restaurant then you should probably eat dinner in the comfort of your own home,” Mary Vahl wrote on Facebook, in a post that has been shared more than 4,500 times as of early Monday.

6. I would have told the racist POS to take a hike.

But then again, that's why I don't work in customer service.

15. My poem on racism:

Fellow "white" people, please hear me out 
We've been bamboozled, let there be no doubt 

When divided, we're conquered, too 
There's a sickness worse than any pandemic flu 

A tool used to suppress wages and pollute our common air 
A tool used to keep us all from affordable health care 

Convinced of who's deserving and who's not 
Willing to die so long as "they" don't get what's sought 

Told we're better and given just enough more 
Sold a bill of goods to keep us poor 

Blinded to injustice, corruption and lies 
Numb to hypocrisy and all those caged cries 

To save your family, you'd cross any arbitrary border 
But we aren't in those shoes, so we talk of law and order 

Police brutality is disproportionate we know 
We were told he's dead but there stands Jim Crow 

The disease can be cured but only if we unite 
It infects systems and structures, we're needed in this fight 

There are no people of "white" descent 
That's made up capital that we've done spent 

Du Bois referred to our "psychological wage" 
We're long overdue to redirect white rage 

Genocide and enslavement formed the foundation 
Upon lacerated backs was built a nation 

Trillions worth of unpaid labor 
Reparations wouldn't be some favor 

No, simply put, a massive debt is owed 
A construct, a lie and hatred was sowed 

Dehumanization to justify families torn apart 
And that, dear friends, was just the start 

Rape, mutilation and the taking of life 
The 13th did not end the strife 

Convict leasing, lynchings, a phony drug war 
New Deal for some, others shown the door 

Housing denied with a simple red line 
My ancestors given access, no question what's mine 

Access to colleges another omission 
No fuss, though, over legacy admission 

I trust you can see the wealth gap was not fated 
It was methodically, viciously, intentionally created 

The same can be said of the ghetto and reservation 
Don't be fooled by media misrepresentation 

Hannity and Carlson, they're not your friend 
They profit off keeping us bitter til the end 

The media asks candidates if Trump is a racist 
They ask if water is wet and pretend he's not also a rapist 

We've been exploited and used 
To ensure we overlook the abused 

Cast off the chains, let's be free 
Not us vs. them but an ethic of we 

Equality sounds nice but equity's the goal 
Find your humanity and play a vital role

8. Has the customer been identified?

He's the number one asshole here.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. Yes, and the back of his head is stereotypical.

[BannonsLiver]

17. What's stereotypical about it?

[Collimator]

12. If I am in a restaurant. . .

. . . sitting near someone wearing a shirt with a slogan that I find offensive or using racist talking points in their table conversation, can I ask management to have them moved?

(Probably not, because they're my family and I'm forced to be there with them.)

14. I know the feeling...

My mother and both living brothers would vote for Satan (if he exists} if he ran for president!
