Don't you know if someone had said that restaurant wasn't safe for blacks, the Al, Jesse, Holder and Obama show would have been all over it.

Sad that in this day in age, hate based on race is still around. Some people just need to get better educated.

There seemingly will always be a minority, no pun intended, that will ruin everything for everybody else in pretty much every aspect of life.

From Glenn Beck, I had learned that the AP has certain rules when it comes to crime reporting.

For instance, did you know that the AP has a "rule" that says if an 18 year old is involved in a shooting/crime, they're not supposed to refer to the 18 year old as a "teenager" or "kid". They're supposed to use the term "young man/woman".

Yet they changed every story in the Brown shooting to make sure that "unarmed black teenager" was used on a regular basis, but if you check the stories where the 18 year old was the criminal, they stuck to the phrase "African American male". (or they left the race out of the story).

As ERC said, they write their stories to get you to buy their product.

Where's Tom at? He should be all over this, he's all over the anti-gay stuff in this state as well, he might need to champion a white man trying to be denied his basic right of eating at a restaurant.

There is no right to eat at a restaurant.

Really? So we can segregate and deny people the right to eat at restaurants based on race? I mean we have bakers and photographers being sued over denying people services due to their sexual orientation.. What's changed? Is it because this guy was white?

So you are saying a restaurant can refuse to serve someone based on race?

Iraq War Vet Was Warned Waffle House Wasn’t ‘Safe For Whites,’ Gets Beaten, Needs Brain Surgery

Quote:A rural Mississippi man suffered life-threatening injuries and required brain surgery after he entered a Waffle House despite receiving a warning not to enter the restaurant because of the color of his skin.

The severe beating occurred early Sunday morning around 2 a.m., reports The Clarion-Ledger. Up to 20 assailants participated.

The injured man is Ralph Weems IV, a veteran of the Iraq War and a Marine. He is white.

The altercation began at about 1 a.m. when Weems and a friend, David Knighten, chose to go inside the Waffle House. They made this decision after a man in the parking lot diplomatically suggested that they should leave because the patrons inside were angry about the Aug. 9 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. Thus, the unidentified man explained, the restaurant would not be a safe place for two white people. (RELATED: Twenty-Four Hours In A Small, Highly Televised Riot)

According to Knighten, Weems, 32, began arguing with customers not long after he entered the Waffle House. It’s not clear what was said or what was in dispute. After the police eventually showed up, Weems and Knighten left.

On the way home, the pair decided to stop at a Huddle House — a similar, less iconic eatery that dots the South.

A group of about 20 men followed Weems and Knighten to the mostly empty Huddle House parking lot. A security guard told everyone to leave. However, Weems and Knighten found that some of the men had blocked their way.

Witnesses described the men as black but otherwise could not identify them.

Knighten, an Air Force veteran who fought in the war in Afghanistan, said he attempted to calm the hostilities, to no avail.

The 20 or so people who came for Weems attacked him. He ended up on the ground, getting brutally kicked.

Knighten also suffered several injuries as he tried but failed to help his friend.

“All my injuries were minor fractures and lacerations,” he explained on Facebook, according to The Clarion-Ledger. “I just wish I could have reached him sooner. Please keep your thoughts and prayers on Ralph.”

Knighten added: “I do remember racial slurs being yelled from the crowd.”

Police failed to arrive on the scene until the crowd had dispersed.

“This does not appear to be a hate crime,” local police chief Tim Brinkley said, according to The Times-Picayune. “It’s very early in this investigation but thus far the evidence and statements suggest that a verbal altercation turned physical and somebody got hurt.” (RELATED: Sunday Night Brings More Looting And Destruction To Ferguson; National Guard On Its Way)

For now, the incident is under investigation as an aggravated assault.

“It’s not clear whether or not all of the parties were involved in both incidents,” Brinkley also noted.

On Monday, police arrested 22-year-old Courtez McMillian in connection with the conflict. Police say other arrests are pending based on witness accounts and video footage captured in the Huddle House parking lot.

Weems is currently listed in fair condition at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo.

Bradley Barnes, who is related to Weems, said Weems is currently in a post-brain surgery coma induced by doctors.

“They’re going to try and wake him up tomorrow and see what damage was done,” Bradley said, according to The Times-Picayune.

:chuckle:

No, I'm being serious though, who's pulling the strings that the media keep stoking the flames to a race war?

They should always realize what comes around goes around.
Not a good situation.

You have no right to eat at a restaurant.
