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

This is from someone who says she's a waitress and was there.

Woman from Wild Wings Contacts Radio Facts, States Black Patrons Asked to Leave for Several Reasons

You’re only getting one side of story here. I work at the restaurant and your representation of the events 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.

Is she who she says? Dunno, but I'd say it's as reliable as the Facebook post that some are using as gospel.

It certainly strikes me as being more realistic than a restaurant turning away 25 paying customers to please 1, and the behavior described seems consistent with the tone of the Facebook post.

Keep in mind, the only source which even claimed the whole thing was in response to a single customer complaint in the first place is the guy who posted on Facebook. So who knows if they were even told that? Could very well have been many customer complaints, or even just the restaurant managing the situation on its own.

"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."

This sort of thing would definitely intimidate other diners.



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.

I don't know about it being a setup but I did work in restaurants during college and if a large group showed up without a reservation it always caused a problem. 25 people is more than a "large" party...it a freaking huge party for any restaurant not set up for that kind of thing.
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

Yeah, I don't buy it was a setup. But it IS pretty stupid to take 25 people to a restaurant without a reservation.

Not all restaurants take reservations.

I remember a friend of ours who bought tickets to a buffet dinner at Hawthorne Race Track, Cicero, Illinois. The buffet was being run by a church. She bought six tickets and we were among those she invited. When we got there, we were all asked to leave. We were the only white faces among a sea of black. The pastor apologized, told us to come get our food (he escorted us) and to please please go to another level to enjoy it. He was afraid his congregation would cause us problems.

We laughed our asses off, thanked the pastor and did just that.
It happens. But I don't believe it happened at Buffalo Wild Wings based on this account.

Well, I agree with you. Before I buy this story, I'd have to see some proof that it actually happened.

Maybe it did, but I have a lot of doubt.

If 25 black people were asked to leave a restaurant because 1 white guy felt uncomfortable, it would have taken a swat team to get them out of there. :roll:

This story is BS.

The one part I do believe is that they could have waited 2 hours - a 2 hour wait won't keep a black man from a chicken wing ;)

If you are having a celebratory dinner than I doubt they would make such a fuss that the police had to come to throw them out.

I'm guessing that they were loud. White people find loud black people scary. End of story.

WWC will reserve an area for a large party. But if they didn't, then it's even more stupid. If they were regular customers as they claimed, they know what it's like inside. If you've got that many people and insist on sitting together, you're going to be waiting for quite a while.

I'm not asking what your assumptions are. I'm asking what in the article indicates it was about race.

This is not an assumption it is the voice of experience. And you can't really deny the truth of it.

As far as anything in the article indicating race was a factor... just because a white person doesn't come running out screaming the N word and ranting about "throwing them blackies out" does not mean that race was not a factor. It can be more subtle then that and still be racist. In this particular case, no one has enough information yet to make a determination as to whether race was or was not involved. My statement is probably closer to the truth of it.

What "truth" did you have in mind? You made a snide blanket racial stereotype and declared it the end of the story. Is that what you consider "truth"?
 
Re: Wild Wing Cafe Kicks Out 25 African Americans After White Customer Felt 'Threaten

It is not racist to ask a bunch of racists to leave the business.

Don't you have a sense of humor? You don't know enough yet and neither do I to determine whether or not race was a factor.

You are entirely oblivious to the self-contradiction here, aren't you? "I'm not saying it's racism, but it's racism."

You called it "end of story," so it's you who have decided it was "a factor." And your continued statements confirm it.

And no, it wasn't a "joke," so a "sense of humor" doesn't have a thing to do with it.

I think you need to look up assumption and meditate how it might relate to you projecting your "voice of experience" onto this situation without supporting evidence ....

I never asserted racism was so limited. But the above reply hardly does anything to outline "what in the article indicated racism"

It can be more subtle then that and still be racist.
