It's Open Season on Black People -Three sacked after 'dine and dash' accusation backfires
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43058470<snip>
Three employees have been sacked and a restaurant has been closed after two black women were wrongly accused of a 'dine and dash' in Missouri.
Alexis Brison and her friend were about to eat a meal at a branch of Applebee's Bar and Grill in Independence, when two police officers approached their table and asked them to pay and leave.
Staff had told the officers they believed the women had eaten in the restaurant the day before but left without paying for their meals.
Ms Brison was so shocked that she filmed the incident on her phone. Since posting her footage on Facebook, it has been shared more than 3.6 million times.

Thanks.
It was like spread it everywhere 
The linked article has this :
"they all look alike" claim? 
I'm taking names and telling my relatives and friends to boycott all the racists.
A few years ago my brother linked up with some Caribbean friends at an ethnic restaurant in Toronto.
Two waiters were making derogatory comments about them when my brother responded in their language.
They were so fucking shocked that the meal was on the house. He said they thought about walking out but decided it should cost the scumbags. None of them ever went back there.
