I'm sure they knew he was a racist back when? Why did it have to escalate into this? He should have been removed prob years ago when they first realized he was a nutjob.

I personally don’t blame anybody for not wanting to sit in a restaurant next to a rowdy crowd of people, regardless of their color. There is however plenty of evidence to support the stereotype of blacks misbehaving in restaurants. Sorry if that stings, and it most certainly doesn’t apply to all, but it’s true. Anyone who has ever been a server can attest to:

The old “I don’t want to pay for a beverage, so please bring me an entire bowl of sliced lemons and 50 extra sugar packets so I can whip up some table lemonade. I’ll be sure to leave a giant sticky mess for y’all to clean up” freebie trick.

The “We don’t want to pay a large table gratuity, so we’ll ask you to split our group up, but then seat us right next to each other” strategy.

How about the classic ”eat almost everything on my plate, then send it back for being too rare, and demand an unreasonable ‘comp’ for the table” trick.

The church crowd who comes in, occupies a large-top table for two hours, then leaves a 5% tip for the server who ran his/her ass off for these difficult-to-please customers.

I worked myself serving tables while in college and can certainly testify to the truthfulness of such shameful behavior. Some blacks just behave like dicks in restaurants. There’s an element of get-back for some that they just seem to find totally acceptable.

None of what I’m saying here has anything to do with the story at hand, but we’re all lying if we can’t admit to some truth in the matter. And as a reminder for those keeping track, I’m not white.

I never said that there was current persecution of blacks. That does not imply, however, that blacks are not suffering the impact, still, of past persecution. Its like the population of Jews today. Jews are not persecuted today in Germany, but the population of Jews in Germany today is a consequence of what happened to the Jews in Germany's past. Ergo, the condition of blacks today, economically, psychologically, geographically, socially, culturally....have all be impacted by the persecution from whites in Americas past.....even though there is not current persecution.

First you chime in upset that race is being discussed and beat into the ground.......now you just come out and show your own racism. Where are the statistics on blacks behaving badly in restaurants? How does your personal experience prove anything about what is generally true at restaurants as it relates to blacks? You are simply demonstrating your feeling about blacks.

If this story is true, then all I can say is that the customer had to be a great tipper. Why else would the customer have the power or pull to keep blacks from sitting near him. I am pretty sure that the customer is not a racist though and that there is really some OTHER reason than race. Maybe he just wants to sit near people with the same values and from two parent homes and good schools and he KNOWS that all the blacks in that area don't meet that criteria, by having personally met them all.
I've seen black customers NOT want to sit near whites.


Go to any company party and all the blacks congregate with other blacks only.

But it worked for the website. They'll get a bunch of hits off this.
"The table was reserved", will be ignored by black racists.

There’s nothing racist about my comments. Prejudiced, certainly, but not racist.

Knock yourself out with a Google search, or go directly to any server forum on reddit or quora. You probably won’t, and you probably don’t need to, because I’m fairly certain you know there is truth behind my comments.

So if a Jew says she doesn't wanr to keep arguing with someone who proudly says he admires the most notorious antisemite in the country, you IGNORE that and focus on putting down the Jew. Got it, liberal. The tolerance for antisemitism among liberals is horrible. No putdowns for someone who praises Farrakhan.....only the Jew who doesn't want to engage with someone like that? Why are you on the side of the Farrakhan supporter and dismissing the Jew?

Jews better be willing to show some respect to Farrakhan admirers, amirite? How dare they want to disengage. And if you don't condemn him for his admiration of Farrakhan, you're just as bad.

You can use those same applications to look up racist acts by whites. Will you do that? Nope...because I am sure you know that there are many racist whites already. Still, unless you can site studies from scholarly research institutions concluding that blacks behave badly at restaurants, then you have nothing.

Of COURSE there is racist behavior from some whites. I’ve been a victim of it in my own lifetime. It has never defined me however, and my interest in life is not reliving it on a daily basis with strangers online. That is the first and foremost difference between my own personality, and yours.

I recognize that some people are just plain pricks, whereas you believe that white people are pricks.
