    Will this be another flashpoint? Who's right and wrong here? Will anyone get fired?

    She was racially profiled? In her opinion, what is the profile of a black person and why would they need one? If anything, she ‘profiled’ the restaurant and white people. There’s a word for that. It’s a word tattooed to the inside of the eye lids of liberals and other racists.

    Let me guess - in a few days we will find out that she was refusing to pay her bill or was overly loud and obnoxious on her phone.

    Her story doesn’t even begin to add up.

    So she was seated at a restaurant — one would assume to order but you never know these days — and the restaurant workers approached her and asked her to give up her seat for a white man — and then refused service to her.

    She was probably refusing to order so they asked her to get up so that an actual customer could be served, instead of just doing some self reflection she determined they must be racist. Afterwards she likely caused a scene and was asked to leave the facility.

    Well, the restaurant turned over the security camera footage, so we'll see soon enough if she's telling the truth or if this is another Jussie Smollett in the making.

    Sounds fishy. I find it hard to believe she was seated and then asked to give up her seat for no reason other than she was black. I normally don't like to speculate but my guess would be she sat down at an unoccupied table, (not at the direction of staff), that was held for a reservation. If her story is correct and she was properly seated and then asked to give up the table because she was black then more power to her.

    No she just sat down at a reserved table for a dinner party and then when the waitress tried to reseat her pulled the "I have a right...." thingy and got into a fight with the waitress.

    Here is where Yahoo posted the story for a second time but they leave that out. Read the comments on the people calling them on it.

    For a dinner party for which the table was reserved.
