Just because a manager asked a group of people to leave doesn't mean that it had to be racist... of course unless manager was white and others black.
Have your racist wankfest.
You should work harder on your religious views.
BTW, Zimmerman provoked the incident and then claimed to be "threatened." Fuck him. He's a murdering cocksucker. What! No comment on the article that _xenu_ posted? You got caught with your head stuck up your own ass. You didn't even bother to check if there was another side to this incident. You just wanted to accuse a few Whites of being racist, whether it was justified or not...Here, I reposted the link for you in case you to hear from the other side...
Min's head stuck up his own ass
Quote:Anonymous Woman1 300x257 Woman from Wild Wings Contacts Radio Facts, States Black Patrons Asked to Leave for Several ReasonsA woman contacted Radio Facts who works at the Wild Wings restaurant that asked the black patrons to leave. and asked that we allow her to be anonymous. She states there are several reasons the group was asked to leave (below) Radiofacts.com,
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.

Myself and my family have had to wait nearly that long to be seated at restaurants before. If I get tired of the wait I gather everyone together and we go someplace else. Which is what these guys should have done instead of making asses out of themselves and screaming racism...I sat in the OSU hospital emergency room for 8 1/2 hours two weeks ago while I saw Blacks who came in after me being taken in and seen before me. Was it a case of racism against me because I'm White, or was it a case where their condition was considered more dire? (FYI...btw, if you ever have to go to the emergency room and you're asked to rate your pain on a scale from 1 to 10, rate it high. You'll be seen quicker.)

Some people scream racism so fast. Just the other week Oprah claimed to have a racist incident because an ultra-exclusive store wouldn't show her a 50,000 dollar hand bag that was already sold to someone else. Must be racism! Give me a fucking break. Not everything that involves both black people and white people has a racial element.

Pfff racisim is everywhere... Says probably the only Mexican in the forums. Whites on blacks. Blacks on whites. Whites on Mexicans. Mexicans on Mexicans.
Then there is sexisim. Males against females. Females against males while trying to be treated like females but in theory like males.
Then we have ageists... Says koolay, anyway.
People hate people for many reasons. Sometimes they are easy targets to be hated on, and they don't see that there is more to themselves than just their race. People don't like me because I'm weird. Yeah, maybe one out of ten people that don't like me is racist, but I'm pretty sure in the most part it's my awkwardness that pushes people away. Those black men were rude. They should own up to it instead of thinking that being black makes them automatically victims.
Pshhh... Fucking complicationists, dude.
And I mean all of you. Whites, blacks, yellows, pinks, and greens. Be happy and taste the rainbow. But that's another story.

I believe the real problem is that they think they deserve special treatment because of what their ancestors endured as slaves.

The problem is that our media is all too eager to jump on an incident and report it as racism without getting the full story or even caring if what they're reporting is an actual racial incident or not. The simple fact is that racism sells, and the more people you can get riled up by a story the more people will be reading about it.

I was once reading through this prison pen pal website, and it sounds like a joke I've just made up but one of the black inmates seriously wrote
"on the outside I used to love kentucky fried chicken, sometimes I dream about it now but then wake up and realize it's not there"
Maybe it was a joke and it was a prisoner with an ironic sense of humor and he just didn't realize he was being very stereotypically black.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

It could also be that the media knows when a poorly-reported story can generate a lot of interest. The most potentially-damning bit of evidence in the original story (that the restaurant offered apologies and a free meal) is attributed to one of the group that was asked to leave, and apparently wasn't verified by whoever was reporting on the story. And the rebuttal is from an anonymous person who claims to be an employee of the restaurant, which is also apparently unverified.
It's impressive to see such a massive shit storm created with so little shit.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
