This was written in the Washington Post, so my inclination is to not believe the article without independent corroboration.

I’m concerned that the mere accusation is enough to take away a man’s livelihood.

It’s amazing racism, unemployment, homelessness and dead puppies all return to the news by magic.

Just because they call us racists doesn’t mean we have to defend actual racists.

As a former multiple franchise Dairy Queen owner-operator I am appalled that a businessman would act this way. If he had been under some kind of stress and this was a isolated incident that be one thing but it wasn’t and he admitted it. Clearly he was in the wrong business since Dairy Queen menus and pricing are often designed to appeal to customers who cannot afford to go to the mall, Baskin Robbins, etc. Therefore your customers tend to be ethnic minorities. If he cannot tolerate this then he’s in the wrong business. I’m not a big fan of International Dairy Queen having had my own battles with them (I did say former operator) but in this case I think they acted reasonably. As for International being sued they are probably insulated by franchise agreements and/or a Territory Operator that acts as a buffer.

Hilarious to watch the stupids act like the N word carries the seriousness of say child molestation

He said the word “nigger”

Take his business by God

The horror

And this is the right wing

Color me unimpressed

Any of y’all been around American blacks in large numbers

And listen to them speak to one another?

Your cousins boyfriend ...,the one black in your town .,,who of course acts just like Ben Carson does not count

Sorry

FREEPERS are so incredibly ignurnt about the black race

It’s laughable over and over

“Deianeira” ???

I’m surprised he didn’t burst out laughing instead of going off on a racist tirade.

It's entirely possible that this story is true. If so, then it's a tragic example of truly bad behavior on the part of this franchisee. The content of this person's character seems to be somewhat lacking.

Agitated businessmen really can behave this foolishly on occasion, and when they do, it's often catastrophic to the overall success of their venture.

I'd like to think that there was something that must have happened earlier in the day that made this otherwise decent person lash out in frustration at the wrong target. Hopefully, he has seen the error of his ways, and this will be an important life lesson.

This guy really nailed his own coffin shut when he apparently spoke to the police officer using the same offensive language...

I’m just a touch suspicious when it seems to have affected her three-year-old so deeply. There’s a lot more to this story.

[weston]

Unfortunately there are racists in America. Of all colors.
If you walk into almost any timber mill here in mostly white Oregon you will hear some of the worst racism in the country.
But most of them are Democrats. Go figure.

Dairy Queen doesn’t take EBT cards?

[Old Yeller]

He should have been subtle about it and just spit in her food like the treatment whitey gets.

Felt very sorry for the woman and her children then the Lawyer got Involved.
The guy apologized,lost his business,but now Dairy Queen has to be put out of business.
Reminds me of all the democrats today,Jeff Sessions is having his confirmation bearings today and guess what be is?
Racist of course,he is white,from the South and a republican.
Well the saints the democrats,who by the way we’re the ones standing in the doors preventing black children from attending school back when the KKK ruled down there,led by Govenor George Wallace,A Democrat,and you know who the Grand Kleagle of the KKK was? Robert Byrd Democrat,that’s right he held the job of Senate majority leader,the job now held by Chuck Schumer,and Harry Reid before him.
When confronted by this the hypocrit democrats say,well he apologized,that’s it,no law suits,expulsion from the Senate,public flogging,stoning.
Now as reprehensible as this dairy queen guy waS,he has been humiliated,lost his business and apologized,but of course now the entire corporation is responsible,and of course Trump.
The double standard is as despicable as the act
