A group of African-American customers at a Wild Wings in South Carolina were recently given the boot, telling local affiliate WNEW Channel 5 that they were kicked out because a white patron felt threatened. Now, according to an unsubstantiated report from Radio Facts, the group was kicked out of the restaurant for being obnoxious, not for being black.
Michael Brown said he and a group of friends and family members were gathered for a cousin?s goodbye party and forced to wait 2 hours before being told that there was a ?situation.?
?She 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,? Brown told Channel 5.
But a woman who says she works at the restaurant reached out to Radio Facts and shared a different story:
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.
