Having decided that we would eat out, we decided to eat at China Belle on Lakeland drive. Being the only blacks, we were escorted away from the the customers to a booth in the back. Not thinking anything about it, we got our food! However when two the other black families were escorted to the apparent designated area, I became angry. After approaching the lady at the counter about the obvious segregation, I was told "to have a seat. Quietly I will take a seat but the necessary actions will be taken! This is 2008 and a have the undeniable right to be treated as a citizen!

That enrages me beyond what I can express! What if you and I had gone in there together? Would they have made us sit at separate tables?
Oh, just furious!
What?? That's crazy!
You'd think that as business owners, they'd recognize at least one color: green. Practices like this are going to cost them customers!
Glad you blogged about this ... and thanks for posting the restaurant name!
