A Georgia couple was shocked and disgusted to find a racial slur scrawled on a valet ticket after a night out at a local restaurant.

After Candea and Sam Aarons had dinner at the Spondivits restaurant in East Point, Ga., on New Year’s Day, they found that the valet tag still affixed to their key chain had the phrase “jungle fever” written on one side.

The phrase is a racial slur for an interracial couple.

I agree....Chick looks like .......never mind...

[Sacajaweau]

Remember....The first movie Obama and Michelle saw together when they were dating was another Spike Lee Movie..."Do The Right Thing".

I think we may be able to connect some dots here.

[Sacajaweau]

I hope Obama addresses these in his State of the Union /s

My thoughts exactly ...

This restaurant is overpriced and questionable in quality (a patron actually died from the food not all that long ago), but it draws a heavily black and generally upscale clientele, so mixed-race couples are not unusual. I suspect the black valet made the note as a kind of joke to himself but forgot to remove the tag. In other words, NO BIG DEAL AT ALL except in a world gone crazy about PC crap.

But he disputes the slur was intentionally left to insult the couple, pointing out that many valets write descriptive details about customers, such as “leather jacket or white beard,” to help them remember a car’s owner.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the key tag.

From what I can tell, black women are the most militant about black guys being with white women.

[Texicanus]

I just noticed the Waffle house at the side and the McDonalds sign in back. Anybody see a liquor store anywhere?

And what are those thatched umbrella thingies on the roof. Building looks like an old Captain D’s. or Long John Silvers.

Parking attendants...kinky.

The unnamed man, who was described by the Aarons as black, has since been fired.

The valet was black

So who is their gripe with???

[Nifster]

can’t argue with you there

[JudyinCanada]

No kidding. Used to be something stupid like that was said or written and you tossed it out and considered the source. What the heck is wrong with us today - we’re determined to be offended it seems. Or perhaps we’re all attention starved.

So we don’t dwell on all the Crackers that have been murdered by ferals in the last 5 yrs.

[Wicket]

I’m with you on that one. Pretty much every one of these shocked, shocked I tell you stories about abuse of gays and lesbians end up being fraudulent.

Check....nary a peep when its vice versa.
