He said that to a busboy who was bussing a table a bit of a distance away from where he was sitting with his family. Then he said something to the effect of "Don't look at my wife, n_ _ _ _r!" After being retrieved by another employee, a manager came out to see the customer and busboy standing nose to nose. The angry employee had responded to the customer by yelling, "I'm not afraid. If you want to fight, I'll fight" (or words to that effect). Trying to diffuse the situation, the manager quickly got between them and repeated to his employee, "It's not worth it. It's not worth it." Then a large waitress came running over, yelling "It's ok. I've got it," as she inserted herself between the two players to help keep them apart.

This happened in a large chain restaurant...last weekend. Now, I'm not someone who denies the existence of racism, but I did not think people manifested it so blatantly, and publicly, in this day and age. The man did this in a busy restaurant, in front of customers, employees--and his own family. (Though I can't speak for his family, everyone else in the place was shocked and appalled.) BTW, this happened in Massachusetts.

42. WTF? A piece of shit customer gets in a busboy's face and throws racial epitaphs at him
 and they're worried about the busboy getting fired? NO ONE should EVER have to put up with that kind of shit! And as if the incident with the racist wasn't bad enough to suck up to the ****ing racist instead of kicking his ass out? Are you ****ing kidding me? They should be backing the employee not being overly solicitous to that racist piece of shit.

I guess that racist POS really learned his lesson.

What's the name of this place so I can make sure I NEVER set foot in there.

26. There is no context
 in which calling a person a n****r is ever acceptable. None. Nada. Zip. zilch.

Now vadawg speaks some truth but the DUmmies won't believe it.

29. tell you what, you go tell the hip hop culture that..... i am sure the bangers on the street corner
 would be interested in hearing you telling them your opinion on what they openly call each other...

45. I'm sure you don't know shit about hip hop culture other than what the MSM has told you
 and the MSM doesn't know shit either. And if the dude took the time to get in the customer's face it's bloody obvious that the busboy wasn't down with the asshole who called him a ******.

Would you like to do some more pretzel like bending to try to make this sound like anything other than the racist incident that it is?

When I went into the Army I was amazed at how the black guys called each other ******.  Blew me away.  When I drove a school bus the kids did the same thing.  I wouldn't let them do it on my bus.  I told them if they could call each other that so could I.....that ended that.

Now we get a little more truth ....

110. Actually, the OP wasn't even there, according to the OP in one of
 his posts here. The manager who relayed the story to the OP just maybe embellished it a bit.

It's a big huge thread and pretty funny stuff.

Just another bouncy. I think the DUmmies try to come up with ways to use n****r.

ZERO BONG.

Repeat of an earlier bouncy only the black guy was at the cafeteria counter.

Throwing words on a tombstone at the busboy will get you nowhere.  

The DUmp is the only pol board I've ever witnessed that finds excuses to openly use racial epithets and other slurs under the guise of relaying a story.  I believe they either look for reasons or make them up just so they can.

Bingo! The only place I see that word used anymore is at the DUmp.

It's a rerun...
Damn can't anyone over there write a good bouncy anymore?

I give him 3 bongs for a remote viewing bouncy.

When I went into the Army I was amazed at how the black guys called each other ******.

When I was teaching in the inner-city, my kids used that word all the time-and I cringed every time they did. Finally I told them that to me, that was the worst, nastiest racial epithet that could be thrown around, and I'd appreciate it if they didn't use it. It led to a discussion about why it's okay for black kids to use it but not white kids, and how they would jokingly call me 'my n*gga' because they liked me but I would have never, ever used that term to describe one of them no matter how much I loved them (which I did.) It was a very interesting and eye-opening experience for all of us.

That being said...I have never, ever heard a white person address anyone with that word. I don't know any white person who would use that word.

Uh.  I saw my cousin use it.  He is a General Contractor, and he calls his best friend who is his main worker one.  Regularly.  No lie.

[Lord Undies]

It maybe commonplace in a socially racist place like Massachusetts, but here in Texas I haven't seen a black person busing a table since about 1976, and she owned the restaurant.

True dat.  Most buspeople are a bit lighter than black around here.  (In Texas.)

It isn't restricted to Texas, either. Our bus-children here in Colorado are much "lighter" than the DUmbass would seem to be suggesting.  They don't speak Ebonics, either.

I have a theory about that.  Black people are Americans born and raised, and as we all know, Americans won't do certain jobs.  It takes an ill-eagle-alley-ann to getter'dunn.

Guess that's the difference between New England and the South. He'd be totin' an ass-whoopin' down here.

......like I believe the bullshit story in the first place.

[ColonialMarine0431]

People are assuming it was white guy who said the N word. It's been my experiemce that odds are it was a black guy. I don't buy it anyway.

CM, that also presumes that the DUmbass was reporting a real occurance in the first place.  As Rush has been saying for the past week or so, DimRats (DUmbasses) are firmly ensconced in the universe of the lie, not the real world which we mundanes inhabit.

No habla ingles.

Not related to the OP, but this reminds me of a story my uncle told the other day. We had just gotten pulled over for not wearing seatbelts. He said that his last time getting pulled over he had a couple of other guys in the car with him. One was a Mexican. Both of the other guys were drinking beer. The cop asked them all out of the car. Then asked if they had been drinking. The Mexican replied with "no hablo ingles." The cop asked twice more and got the same reply. Finally the cop told him, "I'll ask you one more time and if you don't hablo some ingles I'm going to take you ass to jail. Now, have you been drinking?" The Mexican replied, "yes sir, but just a little bit."

Now, back to the OP...
I'm not sure who is more stupid. Is it the one who created the lame bouncy? Or is it the one who believes it?

[Texacon]

Not all of them believe it.  Case in point;

Well done.

51. All of the OTHER customers should have left
 
If I was at another table, I would make very clear to the management that the offending customer is to be deemed a trespasser, or I am leaving without paying.
And I would encourage others to do so.

That would put the management in something of a bind then, yes?

In most states, an innkeeper can eject a guest for any reason or no reason (so long as it is not an impermissible reason).
 

Yes, if management doesn't see things YOUR way because you obviously knew what was going on better than they .... well, then you have good enough reason to walk on our bill.

Idiots.

[franksolich]

The primitive just wanted to use the word, and so either looked around for a story using the word, or made up a story using the word.

Ho-hum.
