It sat there for Ten years with untold thousands looking at it. Many of them non-Whities.

I suspect a large portion got a good laugh or even a small chuckle out of it including Blacks, Browns etc...

All until this little delicate flower came along.

Maybe because the overwhelming percentage of people that viewed it aren't wimps.

Also why wouldn't it have been funny if it was from known movie, of a black or brown guy? Purely Rhetorical I already know your fatuous answer.

Privately owned restaurant. They can put up whatever they please.


Here's a novel concept: If it offends your precious little senses, eat somewhere else.


How simple is that?

In the age of the internet, fair or not, you really need to think about what you put up.

What part of the post offends you? Makes sense, don't like it move along and eat elsewhere.

Lighten up Francis.
No one reasonable would have considered a picture depicting an execution on a dining table of a family restaurant as funny.

I'm not even convinced that the color of the person matters at all. It was a stupid idea to begin with.

The restaurant responded appropriately once they discovered their mistake. It's a non-story at this point.

Yup. Got to hand it to Joe's. They handled it well when they learned of it by asking it to be removed. They probably didn't even know about the photo at corporate... but their response to ban the photo was appropriate for their restaurants.
