It happened.

Sorry folks who wanted this to be bullshit. The lady is just pointing out what has been a planned racist strategy in South Carolina establishments for 100 years.
Some doctors offices still have a "colored waiting room" and a "white waiting room".
The only jab I can actually take at Ms. Rock is that she probably knew this was going to happen and was already prepared to "do something" about it and didn't wait for a more "clearer case" to happen.
Cracker Barrel will lose again just as they have lost before because ultimately employees will admit that management told them to do fucked things.
One a side note: I worked in a electronics store and the manager told me to follow Armenians around the store and stay in their face because "they all steal and I would know which customers were Armenian by smelling because they stink". So I have been instructed to discriminate against people, so I know it happens. People who don't believe this happens a lot are living in a fantasy world.

correct me if im wrong as i dont know all the facts about this case but i dont know how she has a case at all..
She went into the restaurant and had to wait 30 mins to have her order taken.. big whoop , its happened to me and thousand of white people every day..
She needs to prove they didnt take her order because she was black, i dont see how she is going to prove that unless before she went in they already had ex-employees that told her she would be treated a certain way because she was black.. and even if she did , not only would it be a setup , even ex-employees cant "prove" someone did anything for a certain reason . i think the only way they will prove anythng is if there some sort of written training manual telling them to make black people wait, and thats doubtfull..
Theres nothing illegal about not serving someone because they look shifty or have stinky feet.
to top it off the whole idea is stupid to begin with .. its either 1 racist employee or its not and she is wrong. unless cracker barrel is physically MAKING its employees be racist ( and i highly doubt thats happening ) then its just isolated racist people..
