If I were in the area, I’d stop and eat there just because of the sign.

Hey...I'd give it a shot. Not sure I'd like African or Caribbean cuisine, but I could probably find something that would suit my palate.

In Texas, if you decide you don't want to eat in a BBQ joint just because it's owned and operated by an African-American, you're probably missing out on the best plate of BBQ you'll get for miles.

This is merely my anecdotal experience here...your mileage may vary. ;-)

Ditto!

And if the food and service are good, I just might become a regular. I appreciate someone who can forthrightly address a problem, rather than just whine about it.

Way back in the 80's 5 of us from NC had to do a job in Queens at a pasta factory. First day for lunch we wondered down the screet and found a l'il hole-in-the-wall restaurant with this black lady behind the counter. As soon as we spoke her face lit up. She was from Salisbury and very happy to "hear from home". She fed us royally for the whole week. When I was a l'il juvenile delinquent the black lady at the detention center was a welcome sight. At Ft Bragg I used to love goin to "The Sundowner" for some serious soul food.

Yup, I reckon you could say I'm a "creepy-azz cracka" the way I've followed black folk around. Those folks that turn around-n-leave means an open seat fer me. Hehehe. d:^)
