Another side to a painful story:



From a restaurant Manager:
I managed a restaurant and it is very difficult to seat 25 people without a reservation. Should have made a reservation or at least call a head to see if they can handle a large group! After reading the comment from the employee that worked at the restaurant I'm not so sure this group was as calm as they would like for us to believe. The manager should have told the group up front that seating 25 people would be a big problem!

From an employee at the restaurant in question:
I work at the restaurant and the representation of the events as has been reported is way off base. The group was being loud and obnoxious to both customers and staffers. They kept complaining about their long wait and were talking about how “whitey” was able to get seated, but they were not. The problem was that they had a large group and insisted on sitting next to each other. We only had one area that could accommodate their large group and the patrons in that area were not done. So yes, some “whities” were able to be seated before them, but only because they were going to a different area. We also seated non-whites in other areas too…They made this a racial issue before anything. One of the guests also insulted a deaf white girl because she didn’t respond to one of them telling her to move (she was deaf and didn’t hear them) They were also all standing in the middle of the walk way, making it difficult for customers to leave. We asked them if they could move over, but they said they can stand wherever they want, and if we wanted them out of the way then we should seat them. The customer that was offended was offended by a particular individual’s constant uses of the word “n*gger” When asked to stop, he threw out a long string of racial epithets against one of my co-workers.


Proverbs 25:8 Don’t jump to conclusions—there may be a perfectly good explanation for what you just saw.

I think many were guilty of Jumping to a Conclusion: Proverbs 25:8 The message
