    He absolutely did the right thing to stand up for his friends especially the way this business treated them. I love this because it goes to show you we are stronger together when we deal with racist people like this. Hopefully they lose a lot of business and go under for what they did. What a shame that we still have to deal with ignorant people like this that are still living in the past. Love how the guy was like I was just bragging to all my friends about this place too. Goes to show you you will stick up for family and friends no matter what, because at the end of the day we all bleed red.

    I had a similar experience, many many years ago.
    i am part Lakota, and could easily pass for White. A few years ago my cousin and a few friends dropped in at a restaurant in North Dakota. The owner told us straight out the I could eat there, but not those dammed Indians. I asked my Apache Blood Brother if they were hungry enough that I could go in and get the food and bring it back out to them.
    We took a vote, and not one of us wanted any food that badly.
    We drove to the next town and found another restaurant, and all of us went in. We sat at a big table and ordered our food. It was fresh, cooked right, and not one mention of our race.
    Once word spread around about the first idiot, he had to close up. The only ones who would go in there were his lifelong friends. They sat and drank coffee most the day.
    People do stupid things like this. What the hell makes any difference what color your skin is, or who you want to love? If that's all I have to worry about, my life would be incredibly dull.
    Thank you sir for standing up for your friends. You are a true friend, and I would be honored to call you my friend.
    Wishing everyone happiness and joy.

      If racism was as popular as the left wanted us to believe, there wouldn't be half as many businesses open today as there are. Because money speaks.
      I believe racists should be allowed to put signs up on their business doors "no coloreds/Indians/whites/whatever." That way, everyone can know upfront and save our money.

    This isn’t the past these bigots need to give up, it is their FEAR!
    My father was a walking talking bigot until the day he died. He was the most FEAR based man I have ever known. He acted tough but was scared even by small things. He would get angry and upset in a new restaurant while ordering off an unfamiliar menu. ANGER was the way he kept the unknown world at bay and didn’t allow them, or himself, to look behind the curtain and see the scared little boy he really was.
    As a healthcare professional for over 45 years I observed the same fear in so many men as patients.
    Men who didn’t have FEAR or overcame their FEAR, usually accepted themselves and others.
