Group of 25 Black people waited two hours to get in a Wild Wing Cafe restaurant in North Charleston
This place has had MANY complaints of the same type since this happened in August of 2013. Who was it that created the chicken wing concept again?
Once again we are witnessing the true power of social media. You are hearing about this story because one man posted about his experience on Facebook at a Wild Wing Cafe in North Charleston, SC, where his friends and family suffered some “1960’s” style discrimination.
A group of 25 Black people waited two hours to get in a Wild Wing Cafe restaurant in North Charleston, South Carolina, only to be asked to leave almost immediately after entering the restaurant because a white customer felt “threatened” by their presence. One member of the group, Michael Brown, took his complaint to Facebook when the corporate office of the restaurant did not call him back after placing several calls.

Mr 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 peacefully waited two hours for a (read the rest of the story by clicking “Next” above or below< 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 told WNEM TV 5 news that several calls were made to the corporate office in Mt. Pleasant, but he says they did not receive a callback, so he posted about his experience on Facebook.
His Facebook post read, “I will never go to Wild wings cafe in N. Chs again! We (Party of 25 family and friends) waited for 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.”
Once his post went live and began to circulate around Facebook, he finally got a response from Wild Wings Cafe corporate office. ” 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.
“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 here 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.” See an employee of Wild Wings’ different account of the events >HERE<
people at WILD WINGS are usually loud and happy.. maybe all people should calm down and relax
LMAO @ these stupid niggers. You boys know you don’t act civilized and then you moan like your whore mothers when people call you out. Sorry swamp apes, but the game is up, the race card is expired, and you will now be judged on the content of your character. For 80% of you that is bad news.
Get a prominent civil rights attorney and sue, sue, sue. A free meal? Are you kidding?
Y does she stay anonymous..just stand up and tell it like it is if they were rude they were rude just say it..And if they r tell I g the truth about there encounter at the restaurant it needs to be dealt with point blank…#tiredoftheracism
I’ve been considering that part of the country to retire to. It has many attractive features. However, I view this information and other reports of random and blatant discrimination in the area as profoundly disturbing. Of the many considerations that contribute to where one lives, obviously the treatment of citizenry is critical. I fully acknowledge that folks that support this type of behavior won’t welcome me. I’d like to believe area residents that condemn such behavior are in a majority and will not tolerate it as representative.
If I relocate to the area I don’t plan to patronize a Wild Wings diner until and if I become aware there is appropriate action taken by the Mt. Pleasant, SC corporate offices. In the Midwest there is a similarly named entity headquartered in Minneapolis, MN. It is named “Buffalo Wild Wings”. I don’t know if the S.C. and MN entities are in any way affiliated.

Please tell me they sued that restaurant to closure.
Every day one: #1- Please make sure you vote in every election & encourage everyone you know to do so. Don’t take any result for granted or you may regret not casting your vote. Don’t believe all the rhetoric about our votes not counting. The Electoral College does complicate things, but we simply can’t give up or our Country will continue to downside. TRUMP & BANNON have managed to stoke the ignorants into acting on their backward racist views, & it is sickening.
#2- Check out the other side of the story, I was angry too but then I read about the behavior of this very big, unavoidably loud group. The woman wasn’t threatened, she was offended because for 2 hours she constantly heard these people in the group saying “N-word” over & over, as well as “Whitet” this & that… she was probably sitting with her young kids, it’s a family restaurant, & she only asked that they not be seated in the same section as her, not that they be asked to leave. The Manager was the one who took that step. You know what? If it were I, I would have said the same thing about the seating, because ANY group of 25 people, regardless of race, is going to be LOUD. I have been seated near much smalller groups who have completely dominated the acoustics in the restaurant so that my husband & I could not even hear each other from across the table!
#3- it sounds like they didn’t have a reservation, so with 25 people, the restaurant had to wait until an entire section of tables had cleared out so they could put all the tables together to seat this group. I have to say that 2 hours sounds like a really long time to eat dinner, even for people who had just been seated prior to the group’s arrival. That would be my question to Management, how it could possibly take any table 2 hours to complete a meal? The “Whiteys” whom the group was complaining were being seated before them even though they arrived later, were being seated in a completely different section & they were just couples and small families.
There’s nothing more obnoxious than a large group of screaming, unchecked nigglets raising hell in a restaurant. Seen it many times, blacks typically do not discipline their off spring or bother to teach them any manners. And 18 spooks at one table is bound to be noisy as hell. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a polite, responsible, considerate, quiet black family in Walmart, public and certainly in any restaurant. The guy requesting could have moved but he was there first and chose not to. It will be good when we go back to segregation and the spooks will not even be allowed out of their designated areas of town. Not the response you were expecting? Tough shit. Blacks are the most racist group on the planet. The entire world is fed-up with their bellyaching about being victims of this and that. Move to Somalia if you don’t like it. All the laws and rules don’t do shit to end racism. Human nature cannot be changed by regulation. When the blacks want to join the human race and not be their own enemies by remaining obstinate, antisocial, and purposely impossible to get along with, this will change. Currently they, as a group, are still busy hating, being victims, expecting reparations for things that didn’t go their way 200 years ago, shooting each other over drug deals, stealing tv’s, etc. So busy being Democrats.
I didn’t bother wasting my time reading all of the comments but putting the bigotry & racism aside… I served in the Marine Corps in the Seventies Era until 1980. I believe it was BETTER back THEN than it is today. Walking on eggshells while Mr. Obama was president for eight years though HERE in California as far as I can recollect; no black man had ever been governor, TRUMP is the president now for 3 1/2 years BUT NOTICE the MEDIA especially the Democratic Party tends to find faults. Bashing aside; it was wrong to tell the 25 black folks to SIMPLY leave, one uncomfortable person complained… SO WHAT! I recall Blacks in the USMC call us Whites… Honkies & White Crackers! SO WHAT! We called them Niggers BUT ALL IN FUN. Did we HATE them?! Hell NO! If we SERVED together in COMBAT; Blacks had my back, I had to watch THEIR backs! We’re Jarheads! Teams whether it’s Hispanics; Blacks, Asians, Whites… UNITED STATES MARINES. I THINK our nation requires MORE love for our neighbors in the HOOD. Grant you; I’m not advocating crime such as selling DOPE in the HOOD! We should go up ☝ & beyond the pigmentations. Skin color is just the way GOD had made us unique. I am looking at the heart ❤ of every individual. I cannot SIMPLY judge by skin colors. I need to listen FIRST; respond intelligently SECOND, make my decision FINAL on the THIRD ROUND OF TIME. HOME RUN when we connect heart/mind/soul brothers & sisters not solely based on pigmentations! God BLESS & Happy ? NEW YEAR 2020!!!
Not interested
So the darker woman hits the big mouth lighter woman as her response to idiot women from moron women.looks like this country is on the brink of a racial war like the Wild West.
The problem here is there’s no respect.
Some people think they don’t need it in their life.
GOD Help us!!
Isn’t that assault? Lawyer time
Sad story. I hate idiots. 🙁
Especially the loud mouth ones. Why should anyone be subjected to that woman screaming and hollering and slapping someone around in the damn gas station. Can I not just buy a drink. That black lady seems to have zero qualms about how her free speech needs Stop when it infringes on other people’s rights to be in a peaceful public setting. She needed a blast in her mouth herself.
The White lady had NO BUSINESS CALLING HER A N***** period! The white lady is old enough to know what can happen if you call anyone out of their name especially that word! It mean ignorance but that’s not what people take it as! GOD is the rainbow so why do people have to use color, every time they say ignorant comments they are talking to the LORD AS WELL
Nah, the first two hits were not assault, they were a learning experience. If you say some dumb shit to someone and get popped in the mouth for it, I can guarantee you’ll think twice about doing it again. More people need to experience this.
The other slaps and punches while she was down were probably too much. But me personally still wouldn’t have called the cops, and i would have voiced to others not to call. Its done. She learned today lol.
You can’t put your hands on people no matter what they call you. Blacks don’t understand this. Maybe some jail time will help it sink in.
I would kill her whit pigskinpigshit ass.
