Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threa[W:423]

Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

Someone was making a comment about black people at a cookout eating chicken wings and their friend was acting nervous and kind of yelling at them for the comment. I didn't know it was suppose to be racist until it was later explained and I still don't get it. What's bad about chicken wings, I thought it more of a stereotypical football fan thing...chicken wings and beer?

Still confused at that one :shrug:

NASCAR... Chicken wings, beer and fast cars. Redneck heaven.

I would have told them, "I'm sorry, but we on't accomidate party's larger than 8", thirty seconds after they walked in the door.

Because you knew ahead of time that they would be obnoxious?
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

I'd rather see someone think it's racism and have it turn out not to be than to ignore every claim lest we inure ourselves to it.

I wouldn't because I actually take that claim seriously. It's a big deal and there needs to be evidence before you make such a serious accusation.
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

Who here thinks the sides would be reversed if a black business owner kicked out white customers? Or if an atheist business owner kicked out Christians?
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

No reservations and 25 people to seat. That sounds like a set up. I think the restaurant was being pretty patient to let them hang around complaining for two hours.

People do that actually... I worked in the industry for 15 years and not one of the restaurants that I worked in would allow a group that size to wait for a table. Reservations for anything an 8 top or bigger is generally mandatory unless it is first thing we open.

Right.Whenever there's ambiguity always claim racism.

Ever heard the story of "the boy who cried wolf"? Same thing.

Yeah that too so I hear, I wouldn't know first hand, I don't usually hang out with people who think it's fun to watch cars drive in circles :cool:

So what's racism have to do with chicken wings?

Kinda like assuming all black people are thieves. Just to be on the safe side, right?

LOL...you people blow me away!
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

After reading several articles on line regarding this incident I can't help but come to the conclusion that there was most likely some subtle racism involved that provoked the restaurant staff to handle this situation the way that they did. I also must conclude that the customer that felt threatened had some racial issues that provoked fear in them. Because how in the world does it make sense to feel "threatened" by people being a little rowdy. Why did it illicit fear? It's a problem when one chooses to hold everyone in a particular ethnic group responsible for the behavior of other members of the same group. Not every black person is a potential thug.

Indeed. Look what happened when it turned out it was a wolf and everyone ignored it.

If they did that, the cons would be applauding them.

That's easy. Chickens have wings, right?


Therefore white people are racists. See how that works? :roll:
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

No, because my establishment doesn't accomidate parties larger than 8.

Libbos have thrown common sense all the way out the window.

That's equally as ****ed up as assuming race is involved every time a black person feels disenfranchised and there's a white person somewhere in the vicinity to lay the blame on.

Right..well lie enough about something every time and people don't believe you anymore..then in the rare event it does occur no one believes you because you're a proven liar.

Here we go, "all Conservatives are racist". That didn't take you long...LOL!

That's exactly right. The Libbos don't get it, for some reason.

That's the most sense I've heard all day :2wave:

Nothing.
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

What if the "one custom,er complaint" isn't true?

Do you believe everything on facebook?

Definitely something to fire a manager over if true, unless the customer recorded a threat or something, on his smart phone... Which is getting more common these days.

Well, if more details come out then perhaps I'll reconsider my judgment. But I'm not going to assume right off the bat that they are lying and to be quite honest it wouldn't surprise me. Restaurant managers always seem to be taking it in the rear from whiny costumers.

Why do you assume that the individual issuing the complaint made that assumption in the first place? What proof to you have that race elicited that fear?
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

I have a question for the forum. Why is it when it white on black crime its always portrayed by the media and the left as racist but when its black on white crime it hardly ever is? I have never been able to understand that.
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

Look boys and girls, let's don't idiotically pretend that charges of racism are 100% true 100% of the time.

Jersey City high school candidate for student gov't sent racist texts to himself, school official says | NJ.com

A racism charge can literally ruin someone's life. That being the case, it's only right to make damn sure that the charge is credible.

Race pimping demeans black people and makes me question who the real racists are.

The media will NEVER report the other side of the story.

I'm starting to wonder if some people just think that white people deserve it, that's why it's okay to call them terms that if said the other way around would be deemed as racist. It's very unnerving that some would vilify white people so much that they would not require proof of racism against black people, that their suspicions of racism are fine without the evidence to verify their veracity.

I hope I'm wrong, I hope it's not most people and just the ill thought out sentiment of certain individuals who do not fully realize what they are saying or the wrongfulness of creating a villain before one actually exists.
