Army Veteran Ernest Walker posted video on Facebook of the incident, which occurred at a Chili’s in Cedar Hill, Texas, AP reported. According to Walker, he went to Chili’s, which was offering free Veterans Day meals, with his service dog and was waiting for his to-go order when an older white man questioned him about his military service. "[He] asked me what unit did I serve in the 24th, I said no the 25th. He said he was in World War 2 in Germany and we did not see people like you over there,” Walker wrote. “They would not allow blacks.” Walker said he just listened to the man, who was wearing a Trump shirt, and continued to wait for his food. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2016/11/14/chilis-under-fire-after-manager-takes-free-meal-vet-veterans-day/93801158/

Try Lowe's. I want people to understand that incidents like what happened to Ernest Walker will occur on a regular basis. This is systematic white supremacy at its worst.
Anyone ignorant enough to compare those two isn't even qualified to have a discussion on the issue. That's prescription-strength stupid.
Then mobilize call your Congressman. I did today. Now is the time to use all the mechanics afforded to us.
At the DNC in Philly..staffers lined up for Chik-fil-A at the Concession stand every single day, while other stands stood empty. When the Dem Congress staged the recent 'sit-in" to ban anyone on the terror-watch list to own a gun, guess what food they ordered in? Yep..Chik-fil-A.

Be aware of apologists for racism and white supremacy like bliss and bookworm who use the language of deflection to offer the false impression that things are not so bad.
Yes there are some knuckle-dragging morons out there. I'd tell them to read a book but unless it has pictures in it, why bother?
What kills me is that the manager got involved after other customers questioned whether he served or not. How the fuck is that even any of their business?
