Just received the following email from a dear friend and coworker. He sent it to a local TV news channel, and I am posting it here in case they don't do anything with it.
The takeaway: Don't patronize Downtown Sports Bar and Grill in Raleigh, NC. Also, if you're white and you're the only person in the restaurant, you might want to ask around to make sure your favorite establishments aren't pulling this kind of shit.
COMMUNITY PSA: I receive a LOT of requests from people to write/blog about or post various things on my facebook page. Some times I do it but most times I don't. This particular situation was brought to my attention last week. I think it's more than worthy of my wall and your time to read and discuss.
The BIG take away from the blog is, "Don’t patronize Downtown Sports Bar and Grill in Raleigh, NC." It seems that they had a brain fart and imagined that it was 1960's America again. You know that wonderfully nostalgic time in American history when Negro's and Blanco's couldn't "legally" occupy the same space and time.
Now mind you the author of this blog is Blanco and the person affected most by the incident was Negro and a Morehouse man.
That said, read the blog and tell me what you think. What say YE?!!!
