Who said it was life or death?
The point is if one business decides not to serve black folk, Then what's to stop all business from serving black folk. Then we are right back to where we started.
How about you're driving on a highway and decide to stop at a gas station because the next one won't be for some time and that person decides because you are black I will not give you gas?
This is about black folk standing up and demanding equal access ad equal respect of our dollar. If they refuse to do so, then we boycott that establishment and try to shut them down. How you have a problem with that is beyond me.
Btw business are allowed to turn away customers but they are not allowed to discriminate.
Lol no one said the place doesn't serve Black folk. This dude ASSUMED that because the hostess turned their party of 7 away, which is policy of the place, with leeway given to.the hostess to decide based in what's going on at the time.
At first I was kinda with him that maybe she was just being rude about letting him split the parties , but then I thought about it and he's all the way wrong
Here's why:
Say , she seats the party of 4
We know he wants both parties to eat at the same time and and to eat approximately the same time. That may not be possible even in another section. Because of availability. Same waitress won't be available , which they said was ok, but you will have 2 parties across the room from each other trying to slow down or speed up their orders so they can be together.
Then when the bills come to the separate tables you have the possibility of him saying "bring me their bill"
For the staff that's a hindrance to their ability to serve others.
Little things, but definitely things that matter to a hostess that will keep things flowing and her out of trouble with waitresses, cooks, and management.
And then when he LIED, pretending he wasn't even with the other people after he had already introduced the crew as being together , it was just silly. You can see him pretending he didn't even KNOW the other 3. So by thenthe black woman he initially approached had already told him "we can't serve a party of 7 without prior reservation , and no I'm not gonna pretend you aren't a party of 7 when I know that you are. "
Then he turned it into "they sent you so it won't look like discrimination!". Nobody SENDS the hostess. She's the hostess when you walk up. The place is FULL of Black folks. As you know, people have interactions with restaurant staff that go wrong all the time but go straight to discrimination with all evidence to the contrary and to manipulate the goodwill of all the Black folks who are ready to ride for that so you can win a lawsuit - not a class action suit that will be distributed evenly to those standing up with you-- is bullshit. Dude is a fraud
