It’s not just lame, it’s bad business. Everything just has to be paternalistic when it comes to black ppl. Always. It’s always about paternalistic respectability politics under the guise of racial awareness and pride. And I get it. Black ppl have had to stick together and be communal, compared to other races in this nation. So messages get conveyed differently than they would at non-black spaces. But even then, he could’ve just spoken to the individual and her party and kept it moving. There are other ways to send a message without berating a crowd and using foul language.
He spoke to them twice beforehand and they proceeded to say fukk you and continue to twerk. Does that change your opinion?

Most ppl in that vid seemed to be sitting properly and not causing a stir. His messaging seemed to be addressing a crowd and addressing black women as a whole on a paternalistic front. Which is awkward. Again, unruly guest isn’t someone unique enough to black businesses, that he should’ve gotten on a soapbox and use profanity towards the crowd. I’m coming from the standpoint of someone who has worked at a mom and pop restaurant that flirted between night club and fine dining much like this establishment. I couldn’t imagine the owner stopping the music and addressing the whole restaurant with such profanities and without tact. Saying he “Doesn’t give AF about the money and GTFOH” towards the crowd, just seems tasteless. Profanity in general seems tasteless. I couldn’t imagine the owner of the restaurant I worked at doing this. It’d just make the vibe awkward going forward and for the rest of that night.

Politeness and Kindness is a sign of weakness to these type of women bruh


sometimes you have to put these hoes in their place.

I’m assuming no one has been to a brunch spot with black/Latino people? Can’t just be an NYC thing. Dancing in restaurants is not rare or weird so I’m confused by crazy outrage. Twerking, electric slide in between tables, etc all that goes down in the tiniest of restaurants, from hole in the wall to “upscale” spots when the DJ plays turn up music. If you wanna dance, dance. If not, sing along, eat and watch others enjoy themselves. :manny: He would’ve tried that here and they would’ve turned that spot upside down.

The consumer perspective
1. You fukked up having a DJ in the fine dining establishment...period. Go with a basic sonos/bose audio system + Spotify.
2. Ask patrons to leave, if not call security/authorities. The shyt is not worth becoming a meme.

However....
I don't go to brunch looking to dance and all that shyt. I go to eat/drink. People have to act like adults if they wanted to be treated as such. All parties went about this the wrong way. With that said, public opinion was NEVER going to be on his side because he made a spectacle of himself. Now, here's what people need to realize. Every gathering isn't a fukkING PARTY. You wanna twerk and dance and all that shyt go to the club. I'll be damned if some clown ass people ruin my omlette and bottomless mimosas.

I'm not sure how or why people place these white folks on a pedestal...they do all kind of bullshyt in food spots and don't get this kind of flack...Dude legit is trying to fuse the hood club with good food and alcohol but doesn't expect any fukkery? And his core customer base is generally female and this is how he reacts towards them? Dude had a genius idea if it was me I'd have it turnt like a strip club some nights.

If he wants the saditty atmosphere he needs to change the music and ambiance.

Co -sign, especially the bolded

Don't see whats so hard for people to understand about this.

He wasn't wrong in telling them he didn't want that behavior in his establishment, but he looks contradictory having a DJ playing music that encourages that sort of dancing. Next time, shortstop the problem because music does affect the atmosphere of a place and can invite different types of behavior.

I don't blame him for putting a stop to this. When you let one group start getting on tables, others are going to look at it and start doing the same thing and he's going to end up with a tore up restaurant or he's going to end up having his restaurant turn into an up scale waffle house.
