    You might have thought that were denied service because of the color of skin but all it was is the dress code.

    According to its website the restaurant the dress code does not apply to children under 12.

    Stop igniting hatred and disagreement between whites and blacks.
    Let's not make a deal about every small nonsense.
    At the end of the day - Blacks and whites have to Live and get along together.

    A Black mother and her young child claim they were denied service at a Baltimore restaurant because of the color of their skin.

    Marcia Grant and her 9-year-old son Dallas were turned away from being seated at Ouzo Bay, an upscale Greek restaurant in Maryland's most populous city over the weekend. Grant used her cellphone to capture the confrontation with the restaurant's manager on camera and later posted the footage on Facebook.

    I know the restaurant. It's not a very casual place. Sounds like a dress code issue. The woman claims there were other dressed down like her son. Doubtful. Let's wait for the other shoe to drop.

    So what? The employee at the restaurant probably couldn't tell the child was under 12.

    Pictures of the child, or we have no reason to assume that wasn't the case.

    Liberal fake narrative. The boy was wearing athletic attire that is not allowed by the restaurant's dress code. That code applies to every customer no matter the race. The white boy that was not asked to leave was wearing cargo shorts and tennis shoes. Not athletic sneakers. This attire is allowed under the dress code. The reason for the ban on athletic attire. It is to keep people from comming to the restaurant dressed in the cloths that they wore working out in a gym.

    When I was going up, anytime we went out to dinner we did not wear athletic attire. As a matter of fact we did not even wear our play cloths. We wore attire that was presentable in public. This was also how I raised my boys. So, this woman did not have any pride, and made a fake claim of racism.

    I know it was the dress code, and the lady was a jerk to think she is above all that, but damn I say we burn a few buildings, and get us some new free shoes.
