then he wouldnt take the free meal because he wants more. sounds about right.

Remember how Christian/Right-Wing groups screamed about the right to deny service to anyone after the New Mexico ruling? I'm sure those same people who side with Florist and Bakeries who discriminate against gays will totally be okay with this!
Is anyone sure this is really a racism case? I mean it's possible it was more about the size and the behaviour that made them threatened. It probably is but it'd be nice to see some evidence that it was nothing they were doing from camera footage or something

its a wing cafe, they probably have boisterous groups of white folk eating their chicken and loudly enjoying the sportball game all the time, yet I'm going to guess that those people never get kicked out.

Yeah the size and behavior of the group led to 0 complaints during a 2 hour wait for a table, when most would get restless anyway. Makes perfect sense.

As far as I know, this is technically legal. It's the store-owner's discretion.
Just because it's legal doesn't mean I think it's right.

Well, the thing isn't that they were refused service.
It's the basis for refusing them service that is a real shitty one.
No one really said why she felt threatened by them. Just because she was white doesn't automatically mean that it was because of their race. Regardless, they shouldn't have refused service to them unless there was some legitimate reason like one of them was [i]actually[/i] threatening like they had a weapon or something. I'm not ruling racism out, but I still wouldn't automatically assume that is why based on the circumstance of them being black and the other customer being white.

I said in my post that it probably is what it looks like, but I just wanted to see some evidence one way or another other than people's word. Oh and if you use your brain just a tiny bit you'd think that a group waiting 2 hours might get a little bit angry and concerning - maybe that's part of it.
I'm just saying there's a slight chance it's not actually a race issue and people might be jumping the gun, when the trayvon martin case was first posted on fp everyone said "wow what a fucked up racist" and look where that went
I feel no one on this planet is safe for me, and I want you all to leave.

I dont know if it's legal or right, but it's clearly a stupid business decision. Why would you kick out a party of 25 fucking people. If that one guy complained, would have told that one guy to GTFO. I don't need his 10 dollar meal. I'd rather have the $150+ check.

depends but since i've already discussed denial of service. if the person who felt threatened says "because it was a large group of blacks" then that's a CRA violation. plus the pr of this is bad enough as it is
This has absolutely nothing to do with this story, but I used to live right over there until last year.
Biker weeks in South Carolina are the times when you meet the worst and most vulgar members of society. Especially Black Biker Week. During BBW it is best to lock your doors and stay inside all week. Don't even go to work. Don't go out to get your mail, don't go out to get groceries, don't go to any restaurants, don't go on the roads, just stay inside and try to ignore the loud thunder of Harley Davidson motorcycles that will never end day or night.
In the restaurants, even at 3 in the morning, everything is packed. They shout curse words at the top of their lungs, get into fist-fights, throw food, plates, and equipment around, and nobody will pay for anything. In stores and shops they will blatantly steal anything they can get their hands on. A friend that worked at a shop became fed up with the theft and stopped one man on the way out, demanding that he pay. The man calmly opened his vest and showed his pistol to him, then walked out.
Another store, fed up with this activity going on year after year, decided to take a week long vacation every year at this time to get out of it. The NAACP sued them until they revoked the vacation times, on the basis that they were closing down because they were racist.
On the streets people were having sex with each-other on a regular basis. Traffic becomes so convoluted that the two main streets through the area are each designated with their own flow, and all of the police officers are too busy directing the flow of vehicles to help with the theft and assaults that go down constantly. The bike parades and stuff have gotten a lot better over the years as the community has begun to fight back against these sorts of things, but there is still a lot that goes down when the bikers ride in.
Keeping in mind that it's South Carolina, not exactly known for its tolerance and peacefulness, do keep in mind that it's Myrtle Beach, South Carolina: when you get out of prison in every other town in the state and have no prospects, they give you $60 and a one-way bus ticket to Myrtle Beach. A lot of people there are just plain thugs and low-lives.
Like I said, it has very little to do with this case, but almost everyone in that tourist-trap of a town can be called threatening.

Why are a lot of your posts unintelligent and just plain dumb like this?
im thinking that that party of 25 people included atleast 1/3 kids (or not in their teens yet) who were probably all excited because of the energy that usually abounds in wild wings. after waiting 2 hours, theres no question that they were probably very annoying.
the time of day also takes effect. if it was in the middle of the day, trying to find a place for 24 people in a restaurant thats pretty popular would be extremely friggin difficult. they might have been roudy or obnoxious because of it. js
If a group of 25 people could sit quietly after waiting for two hours then I'll be damned.
I guarantee this wasn't for nothing, a business wouldn't kick out 25 perfectly good customers for nothing.
I think it's weird that this is automatically turned into a race thing, it is more likely it was just a legitimate complaint/worry, seems contrived.

It could just be racism in this case. Its not completely gone, especially in the US south.
I would also believe that the race card is being used to but I don't see what they could gain from it except for maybe tarnishing the restaurants reputation in revenge.
Would this be seen as a race issue if the group was 25 white people instead?
Probably would still be seen as racism, actually, because white people are always racist.

thank you lambadvanced for saying what was truly on everybody's mind
Is there any actual evidence the complaint was race related or is that just an assumption?

Someone apparently filmed part of the incident according to the local news affiliate report.

Do you even know what racism is
Like you always come in threads with racism discussions and you say that racism is bad because it picks on minorities
[QUOTE=matt000024;41980948]Is there any actual evidence the complaint was race related or is that just an assumption?[/QUOTE]
Nope, literally just an assumption based on a biased preconception, though the news article definitely didn't help people generate a proper opinion.

Okay so you have 25 people, ALL BLACK PEOPLE, who are being told to leave because one WHITE dude felt threatened by them, in the US, and in a state that was really heavy on racism not even a century ago.
I think it's safe to say that people are assuming it's racism for more reasons than just preconceptions.
I'm really looking forward to an article on some bald youths beating up a rabbi and you going "are we SURE these were neo nazis being antisemite ? The article is just biased and makes assumptions based on preconceptions !"

Glad to see that because I don't have your preconception that you think I'm willfully ignorant, when in reality all I'm doing is not utilizing the same biased preconception as you. Sorry?

Okay so if I get this you are disregarding a massive negative point of the entirety of western culture because you don't want to think like everyone else
Please take a solid minute to think about what you're saying

of course you think it's weird, you literally don't think racism is even a problem nowadays (remember how you said that, in the same thread where you said it's fine to hire a white person over a black person because whites are less risk??)

stfu white knight, it's statistics
people in poverty are more likely to engage in criminal activities
therefore, we should just plain ban or kick out african customers as they come because they are a higher risk of committing crime in places
it's statistics, it's not racist, i swear
if the statistics pointed to white people, i'd say the same thing, i promise!!
higher risk!!!!!

This, pretty much. I find it bizarre that a restaurant would turn away a party of twentyfive to appease a single customer.
We probably don't know the entire story. Consider that before you unleash your inner social justice warrior.
