Complaint of racial discrimination at restaurant taken to Facebook

NORTH CHARLESTON (WCSC) -

Michael Brown says he was celebrating his cousin's last day in
Charleston last month at Wild Wing Cafe in North Charleston. He says
after his party of 25 waited two hours for a table, the shift manager
told them 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," explains Brown. "Obviously, if we were causing
any conflict, we would have been ejected out of the place hours before."

Brown says while he was talking to the shift manager, someone in his
group began videotaping the conversation. Brown says that's when the
manager became upset and refused to seat them.

"I asked her I want to be clear with you," says Brown. "I said so you're
telling me I have to leave. She said I have a right to deny you service.
I said so you're asking me to leave because you're upset because he was
recording you, after we've waited for two hours, and after you've
already pretty much discriminated on us, and she answered yes."

Brown says several calls were made to the corporate office in Mt.
Pleasant, but he says they did not receive a call back, so he took to
Facebook with this post Thursday.

I will never go to Wild wings cafe in N. Chs again! We (Party of 25
family and friends) waited 2hrs, patiently and were refused service
because another customer (White) felt threatened by us. This type of
racial discrimination is unacceptable and we have to put a STOP TO IT.
The manager looked me dead in the face and said she was refusing us
service because she had a right to and simply she felt like it. DO NOT
SUPPORT THIS ESTABLISHMENT... PLEASE SHARE THIS POST... We need your help.

That caught the restaurant's attention.

"We got alerted through social media, so we always encourage our
customers to respond to us or to comment on our social media pages,"
says Debra Stokes, the chief marketing officer for Wild Wing Cafe.

Representatives for Wild Wing Cafe say they immediately responded and
spoke to Brown.

"We had a conversation," says Stokes. "It was a really good
conversation. He and many of his family and friends were there about a
month ago, and they are regular customers of ours. So, they were having
a going away party, and they just didn't receive the experience that
they have come to know and love."

Brown says an apology was offered and a free meal for the entire group,
but he says he's not completely satisfied.

"We weren't coming there for a free meal. When we came there that night,
we were coming to patronize the business. This is not a situation where
you can just give us a free meal and everything is ok because it's
deeper than that."

As of Thursday night, Brown said his post had been shared 900 times on
business' Facebook page and his own page.

Ahh, the unreconstructed racism of South Carolina. I'll bet that dumfoch
"rebel" flag is still flying at places in that state.
