Black people, are we better off just associating with other minorities?

Question

I went to a restaurant the other day and i got a lot of mean looks from white people. I was the only black person there. They said they did not like my kind and that i should go to a black restaurant. The manager did not seem to like me either but said he would not kick me out because he did not want a lawsuit. I was so hurt that i just left. It's depressing that this hatred could still exist. Maybe black people would just be better off being friends with other minorities. My best friend is Hispanic and we get along fine. I went to many other restaurants owned by asians, indians, and the environment was loving and comfortable. No dirty looks, no racism, no hostility. My friend says that minorities should stick together. Is he right?

Answer 1

Was it because you didnt dress according to their rules ?  

Me and my ex-fiance went to a hotel resturant which serves buffet during the weekend.  We were politely refused to eat there because my ex-fiance wore sncikers, and that resturant required customers to wear shoes and tie.  We looked inside, we found that every men really wearing according to their dress code. It had nothing to do with discrimations.

If you find uncomfortable eating in that kind of resturants where only white eat in there ( but I haven't seen such a resturant existed), you may just go to whereever you feel comfortable.  Nothing is really big deal.

Daniel that saddens me to hear that this c**p still goes on.Naive of me to thing it had ended, so I am sorry.

This is an issue most people dont like getting me started on so I wont.

What I will tell you is, my door would always be open for you anytime,and your kids and your family and your coloured friends and your Hispanic friend. I also would never be embarresed to be seen publically with any of you.My friends are all from mixed cultures and back grounds.I am in Australia and my best friend is African American.

Email me any time if you want to Daniel - Im lost for words right now

Answer 3

No...never back down to racism.  It'll never die if we don't confront it.  I'd go back with all my black, Hispanic, and Asian friends and order water (no need in letting them profit off of you) just make sure you're orderly and if you have a video camera take it with you.  Let the manager tell you on camera he doesn't want your kind in there.  It's 2008, this foolishness needs to stop.

Answer 4

First of I think that you are lying

and secondly, no, we would not be better off associating only with minorities......because there are a lot of white people that like us more than a lot of minorities do

lots of minorities think that they are better than black people
