A Texas waiter who claimed to have been stiffed by a racist customer now admits he made the whole thing up.
Saltgrass Steak House waiter Khalil Cavil went viral after posting a Facebook picture of a racist note that Cavil claimed a customer had left on the receipt, in lieu of a tip.
“I don’t tip terrorist,” the note read, alongside a circle of Cavil’s name.
Cavil’s Facebook post racked up thousands of shares and earned sympathetic coverage in The Washington Post and HuffPost, which were forced to post corrections atop their stories on Monday after Cavil admitted he fabricated the viral note.
“I did write it,” Cavil told the Odessa American, a local Texas paper, on Monday. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.”
Cavil’s admission came after Saltgrass — which at first banned the offending customer for life — admitted that its investigation found the waiter had faked the note.
“After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story. The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us,” Saltgrass COO Terry Turney said in a statement.
“Racism of any form is intolerable, and we will always act swiftly should it occur in any of our establishments. Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing.” (RELATED: Journalist Tricked Into Spreading Hoax Trump-Inspired Attack [VIDEO])

The restaurant and the defendant should both bring forth legal action against Khalil. Or if Khalil was in any kind of immigrant status he should be deported immediately.
I take it Khalil is a Muslim Arab?
Stoking the flames of our low-profile race war. As Michael Savage puts it, this is how the war on Jews started in Europe. Hate speech became hate in action.
They have given up on playing on a level playing field; they don’t believe they can compete - not just with whites, but all of the assorted shades in between as well (and apparently they can’t). Our own government’s policies tell these people they are NOT the equals of others, and need permanent intervention to even keep them alive, fed, clothed, and housed.
If only they would learn from this, but they won’t. The next time it happens, the White/Christian/male will be immediately assumed to be guilty, and punished, while the highly-privileged minority group member will be deified and elevated to martyr status.
I agree.
There IS racism in our government policies, just not the way those people think it is manifested.
In their eyes, they think it is due to some kind of oppressive policies instituted by the Right to keep them down, when in reality, it is the oppressive policies of the Left that assert they can never succeed on their own merits.
That is all true too, Chickensoup...

Since it is billionaire Democrat Tillman Fertita’s Landy’s Saltgrass I’d get a stipulation in that free food for life offer that Tilman would cover any tips you leave for service on the food you get from that “deal”.
He also made money from donors on his fakebook post. Maybe thousands, who knows.
Oh he just wants to keep the race card alive it’s about dead.
Exactly; government-sanctioned genetic inferiority - and they include gender in it as well.
The Dems are frightened because we have a real “post-racial” president now - and they are losing their racial malcontent base. He wants green for everyone - the only color he sees besides red, white, and blue!
Amen
