“No Confederate Flag is Going to Keep Me Away”: Black Woman Eats at Racist Diner For Tasty BBQ Sauce

by Yvette Carnell

Would you eat at a restaurant owned by racists just because you loved the BBQ sauce? No thinking black person would, but Teowonna Clifton does.

The restaurant in question is ‘Maurice’s’ in South Carolina, and the owner flies a Confederate flag over his establishment, and passes out literature such as “The Biblical Defense for Slavery”, but none of that stops Ms. Clifton from chowing down:

“I know, I know. Black people are not supposed to eat at Maurice’s. But I disobeyed that unwritten law years ago. The best thing about Maurice’s is the amazing sauce. Coming from North Myrtle Beach, my family was accustomed to vinegar-based sauces. Mustard-based sauce was unheard of. When I tried Maurice’s for the first time, I was hooked — and no Confederate flag was going to keep me away.”

So if you’re ever wondering why the rest of the world doesn’t take us seriously, just think of Teowonna Clifton, who puts a BBQ sandwich ahead of the suffering of her ancestors, and happily hands over her black dollar to a man who believes she should still be in shackles.

You may be able to take a Negro off the plantation, but you can’t always take the plantation out of the Negro. One gets the unsettling feeling  that Teowonna Clifton wouldn’t be all that displeased if this were 1812 instead of 2012. A slave mentality knows no time.

    The smarter move would be to flood the place with all of her cousins, friends, and supporters every weekend. Nothing makes it harder for a racist than a confrontation with his fears.

      not sure i would want to take my family and friends to a known racist place that might spit in my food!

      is she so greedy that she never think about this racist spitting in her food before serving?

      what a idiot..and to take a picture for the media and admit to knowing the owner is a racist and hate blacks.

      dont use the sauce as an excuse…admit it..you don’t care or know your history..therefore you’re an idiot.

          d**n, this like an abused person going back to the person who is soing the abusing for more abuse?

          are the slaves who were set free from the plantation, but decided to not leave and stay on the plantation.

          for this young lady, like the slaves…this is what my grandmother would say, something is mentally wrong with that way of thinking!

      also checked her out on her facebook page. she proudly has a letter from the racist congressman joe wilson…yes the same joe wilson who yelled, you lie to president obama in a speech to congress.

      the girl is an opportunist and a sell out..on facebook she is seen interviewing several celebrities…so i assume she works in the media.

      therefore she is aware of what she is doing..anyone who lives in the state of south carolina is well aware of racism…50% of the slaves who came to american came through charleston sc.

      obviously she has a self esteem problem and is doing this for attention…i’m beginning to wonder if the white racist owner of the bbq rst. paid her to help bring attention to his failing business that he is trying to sell it.

      hopefully the attention she is getting is worth it and she made her parents, family and friends proud by disrespecting her very own ancestors who died in racist south carolina from the hands of the kkk who preached the same message of this owner while flying that confederate flag.

      enjoy the attention you’re getting from your ignorance because it’s eternal once it goes public on the internet.

      if you ever come to your senses, please know this story will always follow you on the internet when people/family/your kids google your name.

    I understand the writers point but why are you not looking at this as we look at the brave African Americans who sat at the diner in the 60′s and were beaten for sitting at a white diners counter.
    If you ask me we should hold a rally and everyone should sit in and order the food as a point of social resistance to his views.
    We are quick to act as if we understand the struggles and the decisions of the civil rights era but attack our own when they posses the bravery to look this white man and his establishment in the eye and say ” Give me a barbecue pork rib and make it quick.”
    As in the past a Black woman has taken up the cause of resistance much like Rosa Parks did to make a movement more pronounced.
    What are we going to do now 40 years later. Are we going to attempt to humiliate the sister or we going to take up her cause and our own and do something revolutionary and stand with her without senseless ridicule. Spark a Revolution in yourself.

        It’s worth noting that by patronizing that restaurant, she’s making those pro-slavery racists serve her meals. She’s rubbing their noses in her freedom and in their impotence.

        I also feel compelled to say that I can’t take the author of this vile hit piece seriously. The racist collectivism and condescending superiority just oozes from every sentence.

          Nobody cares who is “serving” her meals. Who brings your food to your table is meaningless. Do you feel some sort of power when a black person brings food to your table? What about a white woman? Chances are, you don’t feel anything because the race of your waiter is meaning. It doesn’t matter. It’s about wealth… and who has your dollar. At the end of the day, that trumps symbolism…

I can’t believe that you think they would eat food from someone who just spit on them. “Sister” is obviously mentally ill.

      My good man, you are something else. I’m not going to come down on you for your ridiculous assessment of this article because you obviously are not familiar with American History. This sister is a total embarrassment to Black people and especially to those who fought and died for the opportunity to eat at any place we choose. Just as we have the right to eat anywhere, we also have the right NOT to eat anywhere. I can think of a hundred reasons why I think this idiot chooses to eat at this place but that’s really not important. The only appropriate course of action for this racist bigot is to form a protest outside his establishment until he either removes that flag or until his a*s is out of business. Sadly enough; this type of situation is on the rise; it’s a clever way of advertising without having to pay for it. When failing businesses realize they can create this type of attention by pushing the envelope this way, you can believe it will become an epidemic.

    @Karume, there is a major difference if the owner does not serve you and makes you enter or sit in a different section in his restaurant and the customer freely gives business to this diner. This is purely a free establishment who is clearly racist. It is up to you to send a message to him. This customer obviously is quite shallow. BBQ sauce is more important than a concept that thousands of men and women have died for. The case speaks for itself. I bet you she does not really know or understands history or has the education to comprehend an intellectual concept of boycotting. It’s the same concept that the world boycotted South Africa to reverse Apartheid! She probably doesn’t even know about South Africa, not to mention black history in this country. Let me repeat this once more. BBQ sauce is more important than what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fought and died for.

      The lady has the right to eat where her money allows her to eat, but it wasn’t God given, it was given by the ancestors that fought to eat where they wanted to eat. The very same ancestors who she disrespects by giving the money to the very same individuals who denied her ancestors those very rights. The hypocrisy in her actions is obvious and to have to explain it to anyone shows the utter lack of common sense that this country continues to illustrate.

      It is an utter shame just how ignorant this woman can behave without understanding that her money is going to people who would probably just as soon spit in her food or pee in her sauce than have her eat at the same table with them.

And the day something happens to her, she’ll be demanding for Black folks to march on her behalf. I agree with the writer. This is exactly why we don’t get respect. Black folks will set pride aside for some d**n shoes, clothes and now a d**n BBQ sandwich.

If you just do things as if these ignorances don’t exist, those ignorant people will eventually stop all of their nonsense, bc they will see that no one gives a d**n, and their foolishness doesn’t bother anyone but themselves.

    I do not know why everyone is complaining, folks drive out of the hood to the suburbs to eat at restaurants everyday, because the establishment is not interested in being the community. We is the last time you was a Cheese Cake Factory, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc in the hood.

    Have you notice the number of black folks carrying Gucci, Coach, Lou Vuitton bags, wearing Polo, Nike’s, etc and driving BMW, Mercedes, etc.

    All of this stuff is own by folks who don’t like, support or employ large number of blacks.

    the reason why this is an issue is because it gives power to the racist owner. Why give your hard earned money and contribute to the success of someone who thinks you are better off being oppressed?
    Blacks in the 60s were making a point. They were trying to end segregation. Today, there is no excuse for giving a racist money. There is no point to be made. We can eat or not eat wherever we want.

    This same woman would sell you out for barbeque sauce. To there is nothing wrong with this. She’d probably help Maurice put out some of his literature, and salute the Confederate flag, saying “Robert E. Lee is the best for trying to keep Black in slavery.” Hope she is not that easy to go to bed with, if she likes barbeque sauce that much. Some of us Blacks still believe we should have never been freed from slavery, and this woman is proof of that.

I live near a military base and i believe in supporting my community but what do you do when the service received from some of “our” community is just as bad at the service where you know you’re not really wanted. I still believe the slave mentality still exist to this day (2012); we still haven’t learned to come together in our own community. Yes we will go to the suburbs and everywhere else for the same item which is marked up 40-50 % within our community. Anyway it’s her choice , she’s leading an example for her family to follow. IT’S up to us to invest back into our community and make some serious changes. if you’re about business be about business and show some pride. Stop asking for a hook up all the d**n time. If she doesn’t understand then ignorance is bliss. I wish her well in whatever point to be proven and yes it shouldn’t be about hatred but lead by example.

You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary.”

    B: if they hate blacks they will do all kinds of nasty sick things to her food and she is smiling and eating it while they laugh in the back and call her a n*****.

    Blacks have always chased whites to give them their money and the worse Whites treat Blacks, the more Black people love them. The most successful boycott ever has been Blacks boycotting Black businesses. The woman in the photo is an embarrassment and she allows herself to be made a spectacle.

    Lets be clear. This silly woman isn’t taking any stand for civil rights. She’s pigging out on food served to her at a blatantly racist establishment. Aside from the issue of giving her dollars to a racist who would clearly bring back slavery if he could; she should be concerned that her order might be served to her with a little something extra like, I dunnooo, let me seeee…like spit, maybe?

    Good for her. She can eat anywhere she want to, for what ever reason she want to. I could see outrage if she was refused seating, was insulted or spit in the food. But evidently, except for the sign and belief, she was treated like any other patron. I am so sick and tired of people telling other people what they should or should not do with their money, body, s*x orientation, who they should marry, etc. This is a FREE country. If YOU don’t want to eat there don’t. People who don’t even know this lady is all in her business.

    Why is this news worthy? Just to keep confusion going. YOU GO GIRL!! The 60′s marched and died so you can eat anywhere you want to.

    If they refused to serve her–that would have been another issue. BLACK people, don’t we have BIGGER issues to voice an opinion or don’t you have a life?

    Uhh, are “black dollars” different that other dollars? The author is a massive, throbbing racist apparently, who thinks that black people have some special duty to other black people that white people do not have. A man or woman who is born free is born owing nothing to nobody, regardless of what color their skin is or what happened to their great-great-great-grandparents.

    I look at this story and say, “Good for this lady! She goes in and uses her dollars to make the descendants of her ancestors’ captors serve her supper.”

You can live your life believing that you’re an island if you like. Maybe that’s the gift of white privilege, but it’s just not true. If you want to survive, you need other people, and other people need you.

      And it doesn’t matter who is doing the serving. Power is all about who is leaving with the money. Your argument is 100% Ayn Rand bullshit…

    BS on the negative spin…maybe she can be a bridge to a better understanding between people. It’s happened before where racists have changed their minds based on having friends of a different race.
    This lady may not have developing better understanding as her intent, but who knows what can happen?
    I think this lady has more courage that her detractors, who took the easy, obvious storyline; the kind of storyline that overlooks the other, perhaps more compelling, side of the story.

    Perhaps by her example and by leaving a good tip, she can change the heart of the racist owner when he sees she can eat there with her dignity intact and is not confrontational nor submissive. This is how King would have wanted it, with Jesus as his model. She makes a statement by not making a statement. Quiet persuasion sometimes works better than even civil disobedience.

    Would a thinking black person pationize a place that are owned by racist? We do everyday. In fact we smile in the face of racist who perhaps lynched our great uncles and raped our great grandmothers and we say “Thank you come again.” And we glady do that for minimum wage.

    While I have no interest in patronizing Maurice’s, I must disagree that this is radically different from the segregated businesses of the past. Indeed, attempting to force your way into a business which does not make you feel welcome is ridiculous. If a business does not make you feel welcome, walk out and patronize another one. By forcing your way into a business, you are sending a market signal to businesses which already welcome you that their efforts to make you feel welcome are not very valuable, and why would I want to send that message?

One thing I know now is I will not be eating in no restutaunt where the owner I s a racist. We are still on the plantation. I belived the Slave had more since than we do today by openimg up their own businesses so they wouldn’t be eating at his racist as resturaunt , that probably why so many of us are dying rapidly in the South and Abroad because we are eating the filth of the plantation food that killed our ancestors before the age of forty.

      Scientists can’t and never will be able to prove there is more than one race. That’s right ONE RACE, dimwit! Race is a concept introduced by western European bigots in order to oppress non-whites. Maybe the infections from your nasty meth induced rotten mouth has gotten to your brain & affected the part that allows you to think & get PROOF before you spew your lies. Statistically, RACIST garbage like you tend to have lower I.Q’s than the average public. THAT HAS BEEN PROVEN. Actually America, is on the lower end of intellect, despite having more money than most of the world, more educational opportunities and more “white people”. You can continue to lie to yourself, but you won’t be able to lie to us. We actually know how to think, unlike you.
      Maybe one day you will get sick, and one of my many family members & friends who work in the medical field will have to treat you racist a$$. Its a good thing they have good ethics, because it would be really tempting to tell a racist piece of trash like you, “since your IQ is higher white man, treat your own self”!

The other type is doing harm to our communities and damaging our causes by giving the impression to white America that there is actually a voting block who would follow someone like an Alan Keyes and the like. Remember, the GOP actually believed that they could send that ‘lawn ornament’ to Illinois and take votes away from Barack Obama simply because he was black. Ever notice how you seldom see black spokespersons for the GOP until there is a racial issue, then up pops a Doug Christie or a Katie Holmes; afterwards ‘Back in the Box’! Look at how they’re ‘playing’ Rubio like a coconut to attract Latinos. The ‘Sauce-Sista’ is ignorant, but she’s not dangerous!

I thought that this was immensely stupid, as I would never eat at any place that I was not welcomed. This is an slave mentality, that if the master was sick, the slave wanted to be sick. Even today, I will not eat at any restaurant, or even another persons home, if I thought for one minute that they didn’t like me.

Everyone wants to look for a hidden meaning, or some underlying insult in everyones actions to justify there own hatred or contempt for someone else. Its amazing what people use freedom for now, or do under the guise of freedom. As free as you are to slam a woman who gets a burger at a racist burger joint ( happened daily throughout the last 50 years btw ) the owner has the same rights you do. You would say its your right to openly verbally assault someone who is an admitted racist. but at least he admits he is racist so you know what to expect, unlike the majority of the black community, who has racism as a part of their culture

    Well she does is no different from the rest of us wanting integration, so we can go live next to white folks and spend our money in their stores. There was a time when we had our own businesses, and employed some of our own people. Our money stayed in out communities for a while, but we plead with them for the right to give them our money and destroy ourselves. Today Ninety six cents of every dollar we earned leave our communities the same day, going to the white businneses, or the Korean businesses. So what the bid deal, they get it from us willingly anyway. We are who we are we are what we are dumb black people who cannot rely on ourselves, we must be around white people to feel we have arrived. As Marcus Garvey once said “The person who fails to be true to him/her self in taking the initative to do for themselves will ultimately find out that her or she has been a “sucker” for others. Always soround yourself with the talent of being able to do by yourself, so as not to be too dependent”.

    The mustard-based sauce is probably the racist attempt to rebel against the vinegar/tomato base sauces that are in the south.

    If she was that much in love with the sauce she should just take a sample of it to a chef, have him taste it, then make it, market it. She could even go (silent) partners with him and make a buck. As long as it has a slightly different taste and set of ingredients, those racist can claim originality and copywrite, but if the recipe is not in the copywrite office in DC, it’s public domain.

    Did someone actually compare this woman’s experience to blacks in the 60′s who protested restaurants? I can’t even comment on this story because it’s so stupid.

    Dr. King and other Civil Right pioneers ate in places that resented them being had rebel flags, no colored allowed. were they “dumb a***s” ? as some say they probably ate dirty food and the such just so we could have the opportunity to go in places without rebel flags outside but in their hearts “are you dumb a***s”, or idiots? for working on the white man’s job taking a check and thank him saying yes sir I will be in tomorrow, there are some that would say I don’t want you here in their hearts, what title would you give yourself uncle tom, house n***a ect? if so do not work for them and blog venom about the people you serve and work for.

    I can’t believe this is true. She can’t be eating the c**p for real? If they paid her to do this its even worse.

    I am not American, nor am I black or white, but know all too well about the evil history of this country against anyone who wasn’t lily white & christian(MUST be BOTH in the racists eyes). I also know full & well what it is to be oppressed due to your skin color, ethnicity and/or beliefs. My people were slaughtered in a cruel modern day genocide attempt, and I would NEVER take food from the culprits even if they paid me to. Her actions are only setting back race relations in this country by decades. The more & more I see foolish things like this, the more & more I resent my parents for bringing me to this country who prides itself on being the “land of the free”, but was established after genocide of natives, and maintained by oppressing all others who were different(African slaves, Chinese, Japanese & other minorities), til this day as its clear by this article. We are more than 1/2 way through 2012 and racism, is alive & well in this land, just as it was during the civil rights movement and it has gotten more overt, just read any article about a crime and see how many negative comments are made against non-whites, or anyone who isn’t white & christian before any detail about a suspect is given. Even positive articles are somehow turned sour with the racist drivel of MANY posting. Many in this country don’t even view non-whites as human. The lack of empathy for Trayvon Martin, and the dead Afghanis our troops p****d on, is proof. Having a black president after more than 40 white ones did NOTHING to improve race relations. It enraged the open racists and brought out the closet ones. Heck, some who didn’t even think they were racists attribute the countries problems to Obama’s “black side”, but I digress. Actually all this IS part of my point.
    This idiot is only empowering the racists, for her 5 minutes of fame. She only reinforced the racist owner’s belief that they are entitled to treat non-whites like c**p and still receive their business. Black people and the whites who risked their lives to fight along with them from the underground railroad/abolitionism times to the civil rights movement, are getting their graves spit on by this woman & people like her. Their fight wasn’t so we as a people can eat BBQ sauce in racist establishments, it was so we can ALL get treated with respect and SPEAK OUT against such trash without fear of harm.

    I know I sound angry, but being a 1st generation immigrant, whose family fought against racial/ethnic oppression, and survived genocide, makes it hard not to be upset at this. I hate oppression & bigotry no matter who is the target. My husband is part African and so are our kids. This makes me most upset for them. He called her a fool, and told me not to let it bother me so much, but it does. hers was NOT a righteous move against racism. It is GREED driven. She could have easily went in there with dozens of friends, black white & all in between, ordered a cheap menu item and REFUSED to eat! That would have been more noble, but no. She wants her vinegar based BBQ sauce from them, despite the fact that she could have googled a better, less hate & spit-filled recipe. When our children wake up I will let them read this article and we will give them a lesson on what a REAL sellout is[sadly they've been called sell-outs for speaking proper English:(].

    There is a silver lining to this filthy dark cloud this dimwit has created. Free advertising isn’t always a good thing. There are whites out there, whom the racist owner would expect to want to patronize his diner, and all the “in betweens” like me, (that this race obsessed country seem to leave out, to continue their black/white divide) that will make sure they never set foot in that place. Yes, some people don’t know what the confederate flag represents(mostly non-Americans, but even some Americans). After reading this they will, and hopefully they too will HATE it, and their integrity will prevent them from setting foot in the dump should they pass through the town. Pardon the long comment, but this just makes me sad. Pardon typos, don’t have my glasses on(checked on top my head not there), but had to comment. I pray for out children’s sake that racism fizzles out really soon. Have a great weekend all!

    Sadly there are a lot of Black folks like her. From Clarence Thomas to Herman Cain. Selling yourself and your people out can pay well. She should be ashamed but she’s too stupid. Like Black folks who go on talk shows to declare how they won’t date other Black people or those who won’t do business with us. Yet gladly hand over their money to those that hate us.

    Not sure I should weigh in after reading all these super intelligent people posts on this blog, well, I will go ahead an say one or two things.
    First the premise of this article is all wrong wrong wrong.
    Maurice is NOT racist and also NOT racist is the Confederate Flag. Inquiring minds could find this out if they really wanted to know. The Clifton Lady is a real lady and is very attractive with her charming manners, too bad there are not more like her.

    She is My fav person of the day and so is Erick Rush, a black author;
    you can find him on facebook; his latest book is ne-gro-phi-li-a Negophilia From slave block to pedestal~America’s racial obsession.

    Erik Rush has been toughened by having endured every ugly epithet imaginable, and he has fearlessly seized the racial third-rail and wields it like a weapon. I don’t know if he is a native of South Carolina but he and Ms Clifton make a beautiful pair. God Bless them!

      i guess it would have taken too much of your prescious time to bless us with your knowledge on why the two are not racist. i’m sure you have a plethora of empiracle facts to support your claim. lol

      not sure who is more stupid..you or ms. clifton!

      you also said: Not sure I should weigh. next time, do us a favor and don’t.

    In the 60′s the people were making a statement- Teowonna Clifton statement is I like the BBQ Sauce. Find a BBQ recipe with vinegar and make it yourself. You are one of those tired black people who will sell their souls just to be liked by white people. You need to go back to school and learn your history. What is the price of dignity, a Slab of Ribs with spit maybe s**t on the side. You are young and STUPID!

    @ Sarah ” We is the last time you was a Cheese Cake Factory, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc in the hood.
    Have you notice the number of black folks carrying Gucci, Coach, Lou Vuitton bags, wearing Polo, Nike’s, etc and driving BMW, Mercedes”. are you serious, when is the last time you saw a confederate flag flying over one of the establishments, see your part of the problem, quit sweating the small stuff until it get to big to control right, the best way to hurt ant business is word of mouth an keeping your money out of their pockets, so long as we have black folks like you that dont give a damm about the small stuff sooner or later blacks will get hit with another avalanche, an judging by most of your grammar your you really dont care an dont have a clue, an i bet you own a Gucci, Coach, or Lou Vuitton bags, an wearing Polo, Nike’s an wishing someone buy you a BMW or Mercedes.

    Some people know there place and are comfortable being in it.the people must understand even though physical slavery ended ,(unless you go to prison or jail” ) psychological slavery never ever ended so Ms.Clifton should not be faulted for still having a slave mind after all that’s all she knows.like 70 percent of the black population in the United States she is simply what her great white masters made her and her ancestors to be ,!some may not like the logical ,but it is true…..

IF HE WANTS TO FLY THE CONFEDERATE FLAG, THATS HIS RIGHT. IF SHE WANTS TO EAT THEIR, THATS HER RIGHT, THE FLAG IS A PART OF HISTORY, YOU CANT CHANGE THAT. ITS ABOUT PRIDE, IN MOST CASES, NOT HATE. I AM A MUSLIM, BORN IN SAVAMMAH GA.

    I live in SC not far from the resturant, and black ppl are the ones inside still cooking food. I haven’t eaten any food since the flag issue came up, and even the stores removed his sauce as well. Their were a few black folks that still patronize this establishment but it is to prove a point that with out us you would be nothing. He is still there and the is no denying that abt him, a lot of the information on here is a little outdated. Yes the flag still flies and he has a room upstairs with slavery days memorablia. I say let whoever wants to eat there, eat there. It is 2012 and ppl have thier own opinions and choices, this does not symbolize she wants to be put back in shackles. Personally I and even some of my white counterparts DO NOT EAT “Piggie Park” (you would have to be from here to know what it means”.

    Well, I hope the sister can see in the kitchen! I wouldn’t eat there and I wouldn’t give him money to disrespect me as a people. No sauce is that good, that’s going in a store and the clerk helps everyone but you, even though you were the first one there – leave the store and find whatever at another store with respect for you and your money!

    I actually applaud her. Think about it… Did Rosa Parks give up her seat just because a bus of racist white folks thought she should? h**l no!!!! and look she made history for standing up for herself. This woman loves her BBQ just us much as Ms. Parks loved to have the right to sit down in comfort. Neither of these women were going to let the opinions of another stop them from enjoying themselves.

    I personally wouldn’t give my money or support a business who stands for anything corrupted or evil, but at the same time, I have to give it up to her. She has b***s and I’m sure she made all of Maurice’s employees drop theirs.

    It seems like most of the people here making comments are in disapproval of this woman’s actions to support a restaurant promoting racism. Agreed, but the bus Rosa Parks was on was also supportive of racism. I mean that’s why it was expected of Rosa to give up her seat in the first place, no? She was not only on a bus where whites were preferred, but she was living in a country where whites were preferred. She was living in a COUNTRY THAT “SUPPORTED” RACISM!!!!!!….So how can most of the black community here agree in the praise and admiration of her, (I’m ONLY assuming most do) but not with this woman?
    Rosa’s situation was far more bold than her’s.

    I just don’t understand this way of thinking, but hey, this is just coming from a white girl born and raised in Mississippi (racist central) and it’s okay if others now want to think there is no way I could possibly understand what this is all about and because I’m white this is why i have the opinion I do- because I am not black and the judgement of my skin color is being taken more into consideration than the fact that I am just a human being who understands and has empathy for another human being-then this is just racism played all over again.

    One way we can attempt to dissolve racism is to not allow the racists to think they have power or control over the ones that are being discriminated against.

    If a black person never walked into Maurice’s and ate just because it was owed by racist white folks who only wanted their own kind there, then the racists would think they were doing a good job at keeping up the barriers of racism. In other words, they would be winning or getting what they wanted, therefore allowing the vicious cycle of racism to continue to exist…. even if just in the very small world of one South Carolina BBQ restaurant.

    I actually just went back and read most of the comments and
    90 % of them are mostly concerned with what might have been done with her food. Spit, feces, scabs, boogers…..I am not saying that there is not a possibility that this can happen to someone’s food, but I really think it is paranoid thinking and reminds me of things little kids would think and say. It’s something I used to think or actually joke about with my friends when I was young thinking an employee at McDonald’s was gonna spit on my burger or a server in a restaurant was gonna blow a snot rocket in my sandwich.. There’s even a comedy movie called “Waiting” mocking this almost mythical idea and it’s a bunch of white restaurant employees doing gross things to white people’s food.

    People will stoop to all kind of low levels in their hatred, but for most of the people on this page to concentrate on something with no actual evidence and just assume they put all kinds of s**t on her sandwich,… it’s totally going totally off course from what could have been some more mature and intellectual points made-No matter what your opinion of her is.
