Never forget too it is the media’s raison d’etre to present a bleak a picture of the world as possible so the worse of human nature gets played up, a lot. The exception being Our Glorious Leader. So common sense, awareness, and good security and self defense measures should keep you safe.

The group was very patient to wait for 2 hours. I don’t know why they did not arrange for seating ahead of time. They must have really liked that restaurant. I’d have been out of there after 45 minutes.

At the same time, if this turns out to be planned, or a hoax.. we can have FReepers in the area to let us know, and it can turn out like ChikFilee ;)

There may or may not be a true injustice here... We do not have both sides of the story, let alone all of the facts.

In this day and age of instant communication, which in turn translates to instant ridicule, it is hard to imagine someone stupid enough to tell these people they had to leave based upon the reason we are being given. I don't know what happened, but in my opinion the odds favor something more than what we are being told. I would place money on a conflict between what one group believes to be acceptable behavior versus what is deemed acceptable behavior by the the other group. What is deemed a "good time" by some is deemed "raucous and unacceptable" by others.

Maybe you’re intentionally not getting the (obvious) point, which is the holding capacity of the individuals, not the skin color.

The post below reads like it was written by someone who knows more about this. There is no way of knowing for sure without further corroboration.

“What this article fails to mention was that the party was not willing to sit at separate tables. They only wanted to sit together and there were no tables at the time that could accommodate then. As time went on their comments became louder and louder. No wonder the other customers were getting nervous. Especially after all the other Black on White violence that has occurred lately.”

I went to the “Christian Post” website. It has the feel of “mainstream religion”. (I am a Christian(word believing, saved by grace)but I am NOT religious.) Lots of unanswered questions here. More information is definitely needed

I did the Pizza delivery thing for a few years, and there were 2 groups that I could almost guarantee no or nominal tip.. 1 your son found, the other were the expensive upper middle class homes.

Blue Collar neighborhoods were generally the best tippers. More expensive the homes got the less likely a tip in general, and the poorer they got the same thing.

If this was a group of whites who were asked to leave would there even be a story? I’ll answer that question. Hell no.

You're right, saleman. There wouldn't be a story. At least not one that makes national headlines. But that's because the chickensh!t media is too afraid to report the politically incorrect truth of these things, despite the overwhelming body of evidence staring them in the face.

For the record, not all blacks forgive their fellow blacks for committing mayhem and disruption, just because they're black. Many of them condemn the bad behavior of their fellows, as I do.

Of course, blacks who think and live like I do, don't have a voice in the media. No one ever interviews us to get our opinion. When they do, the tape is left on the cutting room floor because it doesn't fit the cookie cutter narrative of the LSM.

“All i have read”

Yes, one side of the story, like I said.

Me, I’ve owned a restaurant, and would not chase out 25 paying customers without a reason in favor of 1 without a good reason, so I am tending to give the business owner the benefit of the doubt.

Money is green.

It’s the only color I, and 99.99999% of business owners care about.

The second story may be the reason the first story occured.

I don’t want to give the impression that it was “only” the Christian Post that reported this.

It’s been reported in many other news sites. See here:

“Those assaults and killings of Whites by Black gangs are not being committed in restaurants by family groups. The perpetrators are your typical gangsta and punks (Think Trayvon on steroids. Your chance of coming across such a gang would depend on where you live, work, or play. Like all predators they have preferred territories.”

100% pure BS.

How so? Are there killings by Black family groups in restaurants? Everything I wrote is true. So deal with it.

I’ve worked in restaurants with very stupid managers who would be so freaked out by one customer complaining that they would totally overreact. It is not the owner that did this but the manager. Since the restaurant (as far as I know) as not issued a statement along the lines of “a group of customers became unruly upon a reasonable request by the manager” I’ll give the group the benefit of the doubt.

As a business owner I’m sure you know damage control in such situations must be started immediately or it will be too late to let your side of the story see the light of day.
