After a Texas [URL="http://yhoo.it/16Mv0aP"]Applebee’s[/URL]asked a family to leave because of its [b][u]allegedly[/u][/b] rowdy children this week, the incident prompted a fast moving chain of events: calls to the police, outcry from the family, explanation from the eatery chain, and an online debate about what constitutes inappropriate restaurant behavior.

If they have proof of the children acting like shitheads then they should have it in the bag. It's the fucking worst going out to eat and having kids being loud, running around, and throwing shit everywhere. The WORST. If it's racism then they should expect to get mega sued.
what if the children they were [I]actually[/I] being a distraction?
Sounds like it had nothing to do with race, quotes in the article says the kids were running around screaming at people.
People who take little kids into public restaurants are the worst. I can understand that sometimes you can't leave them with a relative or get a babysitter but god dammit if you know your 3 year old has a problem with shitting his pants every 2 hours, crying nonstop, and throwing french fries in every direction, don't bring him to a fucking restaurant.
[quote]“This child was not wandering around.... he was running around the restaurant screaming at guests as they tried to enjoy their meals. The whole time they were in the building,” wrote Randal Smith. “Then the parents raised hell in front of the whole restaurant. This is funny to me since I witnessed the whole thing. Haha crazy people will do anything for attention/money.”
Another local resident, Shahira Mandy, wrote, “I go to this establishment all the time and for these people to say they're racist is far from the truth. Their children were out of hand, the mom was probably embarrassed, and why do you have your kids out that late at night? I have only seen Applebee's call the police [in] extreme situations. I believe management did the right thing [in] asking that woman and her ill-mannered children to leave. Race has nothing to do with bad parenting.” [/quote]
Racism isn't even involved here
snip thanks op
What's up with the title? The article says nothing about the fact that they were kicked out because of their race.
If the children were making a scene, then they should be kicked out of the restaurant. Race doesn't seem to be a factor here
snip thanks OP
-ninja'd-
Well god damn it.
[QUOTE=No_0ne;42267221]Racism isn't even involved here[/QUOTE]
except by the self-richus parents who fail at actually teaching their kids manners. i've honestly seen this shit happen at multiple places, though it hasn't been a restaurant i have seen people like this get kicked out of a movie though.
Honestly, I wish more restaurants would kick people out who let their kids run around while screaming their heads off.
terrible title for thread btw
op, title is too SH
No mention of Jim Crow either. OP is lying out of his ass.

Pretty much that
If there is something going on and the restaurant owner is lying about the commotion I'd expect a lawsuit and not just contact with the media

Kids are going to be noisy at times and it's something I expect in a public place but if they're running around the restaurant it's a safety hazard to everyone else, especially the servers who are carrying hot food/sharp utensils and may not be able to see a toddler below their feet
A black family goes into a public restaurant and their kids are rude, disruptive and loud, THAT IS racism and is a hate crime. In fact, just me saying this it's because I'm "racist." What the hell is wrong with people? Whites are not above anyone and nobody is above whites. However despite how bad the kids were if they were thrown out purely on race, then law suits are needed.

Except totally misleading headline titles isn't the way to go.
[QUOTE=Blind Lulu;42267346]I remember that thread that was titled as if World War 3 was about to start and it was just North Korea being dumb.[/QUOTE]
north korea was threatining to "test" a missle on a trajectory directly over japan which is dangerous reckless and could have ended badly, to its credit japan had promised to shoot it down which would have caused some sort of military intervention
this is just yellow journalism
The title makes it sound like the motivation was purely racial but I support the restaurant this time. Little kids being dipshits are the worst.
