CNN: Rose Rock, the mother of comedian Chris Rock, claims she was racially discriminated against when she was seated but ignored for a half hour at a Cracker Barrel restaurant along the South Carolina coast.
Discrimination? DISCRIMINATION?! How about just bad service?! It was in the south – they mighta been taking the time to brew fresh sweet tea… Even out here, I’ve had to wait days to get service in some places. Lenscrafters? Glasses ready in about an hour 168 hours.
Cracker Barrel has in the past faced numerous lawsuits and a federal inquiry over complaints of refusing to serve black customers, discriminating against minority workers and firing gay employees. The company has taken steps to rebuild its folksy image and reach out to minorities.
Oh. Well, then. Didn’t know that.
Rock, who is from Georgetown, said she and her 21-year-old daughter were the only blacks at the chain’s Murrells Inlet restaurant in April. She said when she asked the manager about the delay she was told they could have a free meal.
Ya, see. Now I say bad service again. And April?! It took you that long to feel discrimanted? Does Chris Rock have a new DVD coming out or something? Did he just need the press? Next thing ya know Al Sharpton will get involved with the case.
The Rev. Al Sharpton will join Rock on Wednesday in South Carolina to announce that Sharpton’s Action Network will finance the planned lawsuit.
Oh for fuck’s sake… Quack.
