Joe's Crab Shack used a table w/ lynch photo embedded in table top.

You shouldn't be eating over a lynching or inserting jokes into the picture.

True. Don't go to Joe's Crab Shack. They obviously don't care about the feelings of some customers.

I know I won't be going there

 

[Primetime21]

I rarely experience racism at chain restaurants.
I do stay away from IHOP though.

Are you bragging about that or acknowledging that this is an issue for black people?

I'm not bragging about it.
I'm saying that experiencing racism at every chain restaurant isn't true.

Would not be surprised if business went up at Joe's because of this.
Remember, Denny's is notoriously racist but ngas still go there every Sunday after church.

the racism at denny's stopped in the 90's at least for the most part. it was a known issue, especially with us folks in L.A. and i knew someone who actually was apart of a class action lawsuit that won and denny's had to pay out. there's a denny's me and the wife go to every blue moon. i still call it "The racist denny's" from how they use to do us in the 90's. but again. after they got sued to high hell. and got all those complaints nationwide. they switched up everything. all of a sudden everyone is nice to you. and there are blacks and latins who work there now. back in the 90's it was still a lot of full grown white folks working there.

But best believe we actually boycotted denny's for years until they paid up and switched it up.

After lawsuit, Denny's restaurant chain buries its racist image | Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

"You will hear us all say here that that lawsuit was one of the best things to happen to Denny's," said Ray Hood-Phillips, chief diversity officer for Denny's parent Advantica Restaurant Group Inc.

"Although it was a historic low point, I think there were huge opportunities. We had no place to go but up."

As part of the lawsuit settlement, the company agreed to operate under a U.S. Justice Department consent decree and signed a Fair Share diversity pledge with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Through the agreement, the company increased the dollar amount of contracts with minority suppliers from zero in 1992 to $100 million a year.

That accounts for 17 percent of the company's supplier purchases.

Meanwhile, the number of black franchisees has increased from one in 1993 to 64 this year.

About 42 percent, or 450, of the company's franchised restaurants are currently owned by minorities.

"Denny's has stepped to the front," said Leighton Hull, a black franchisee who owns 14 Denny's restaurants in California, Hawaii and Indiana.

Much of the credit has been given to Jim Adamson, a former Burger King execu tive and turnaround specialist who in 1995 was brought in as CEO of Spartan burg- based Advantica.

Adamson set about changing the perception that discrimination was an accepted part of the corporate culture. He did it by making inclusiveness and diversity a part of the way of doing business.

Every employee, from executives to wait staff, received training that emphasized respect for differences among people.

Programs were implemented to recruit minority franchisees and managers.

And management began to deal honestly with its problems instead of trying to explain them away.

"The way I gauge whether people are serious is what they do at the top — not what they do with waitresses and cooks, but what they do with the board and the big salary positions," said Dar rell Jackson, a black South Carolina state senator who did some public relations work for Advantica during the height of its problems and was approached by Adamson to join the board.

Jackson said he remembers one trip he took to Naples, Fla., with Adamson to help address concerns of residents and the NAACP.

Jackson said there were problems at the local restaurant, but that Adamson managed to convince the people that the company would not tolerate discrimination.

"He held off what could have been a public embarrassment," Jackson said. "There were problems, but they realized it was not at the corporate level."
