Race Discrimination: Restaurant Kicked Out 25 Black Customers Because White Woman Felt ‘Threatened’

In an interview with WNEM, Michael Brown narrated: "[The manager] said there's a situation where one of our customers feels threatened by your party, so she asked us not to seat you in our section, which totally alarmed all of us because we're sitting there peaceably for two hours."

One of the party's members started filming the conversation between Brown and the manager, and this prompted the manager to leave. The restaurant manager cited that she had the right to refuse service to anyone. Brown clarified that she was asking them to leave because she was filmed amid a discriminatory act-and she said 'Yes.'

Brown had complained to the restaurant's head office but he claims no action was taken. This prompted him to post a status on the restaurant's Facebook page.

The incident happened days before the celebration of Martin Luther King's historic "I Have A Dream" speech. 50 years later, equality remains a dream and black people (African-Americans to be politically correct) are still treated with suspicion and discrimination.

The Restaurant Manager has not yet issued a statement whether through the restaurant's social media or individually. She has actually not been named as yet.
