Atlas Restaurant Group, which owns Ouzo Bay, apologized to Grant and said the manager in the video has been placed on indefinite leave. Atlas Restaurant Group stated they are changing their dress code policy and that it will no longer be enforced for children under 12.

So they fired the lower level manager who was just doing what his boss told him, but didn’t fire his boss. Shameful.
exactly
Brandon Stephens Very.
The staff should all quit on him 👌
That's why things stay the same cause true change starts at the top and top figure get to operate with impunity
Yes wtf he just did what he was told to
The boss didn't even had the balls to tell her himself. He sent his manager for the dirty work and than fires him. What a coward
The boss did tell her twice when she was outside
Didn't want his racist face on camera. Lmao.
Boss should've been put on leave too!
ultragalx1 you mean protective mom? What was she too black for you?
That’s what bosses do. In malaysia employee is bulletproof vest. We were sent to consume bullet from clients & customer when there’s a complaint. Then we were fired for the complaints. And they hire new bulletproof vest again.
I feel bad for the manager he was clearly just doing what he was told. I feel bad for the child and for the parents because they have to go through that shameful event due to a cowardly “boss”. People are getting real tired of things like this. Poor kid.
I honestly don’t see anything wrong with the shirtttt
@@johnnysalienagenda5409 there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the little dudes shirt
I don’t feel bad for the manager. The white kid had almost the same outfit and was allowed to eat there.
@@profscarlett he was just doing what he was told. His boss should’ve been the one fired, not him
@@profscarlett yes, and it's the owner who was out there allowing the white kid's outfit and not the black kid's, not the manager, who had nothing to do with it. did you not even watch the video? or are you maybe a kid who doesn't know how employment works, and thinks managers are allowed to overrule their boss's decisions? that's not how it works. the moment the manager saw that it was the owner who turned away the black kid, there was literally *nothing* the manager could do. in fact, he was fired right from that moment, no matter what he did. if he allowed them in he'd be fired, and if he didn't allow them in he'd be fired.
I feel for the little boy. How do you explain this to a little kid? It breaks my heart.
they have to learn that rules apply to everyone
see a cardiologist
@@CharlesCoderre-yv1cu then why was the white kid allowed to dine there?
@@mr.fantastic7756 he was properly dressed and therefore acceptable-the kid you apparently & pointlessly have concern for had gym shorts on and was therefore acceptable This whole affair appears to be a set-up by the mother-she wanted a new pink escalade or Benz
@@CharlesCoderre-yv1cu so we are just going to ignore the print T shirt?
His boss was hiding like a coward.
It's not the employer fault!! I GET the whole thing but the dude really is struggling.. What he should quit and be without a job now?? He can't do more than he already did
Because blm is a bully terrorists group who will resort to violence and destroy anyone who disagrees with them.
Jojo oli
The only thing he’s struggling with is his conscience, knowing what he’s doing to family and not the other was WRONG, PeriodT.
Miss Kitty
I know you and your sentiments are not surprising. Remember that when a black person have to save your life.
Yes, his boss pulled a Trump on him.
The manager should “NOT” have been fired. The other person, his boss should have been terminated, he is the coward!
Maybe that "boss" is the big boss's family members, so.....
You can't fire the boss. Duhhhhhh
@@phoenixashe7174 of course you can, he is not the owner of the entire chain
@@sergioenriquegonzaleznava1379 technically he is the boss for that store,people buy the right of the store so he cant be fired
Dam rt
Jeez…. Just leave.
Why would you want to eat there?
I am a South Asian woman of color and I remember traveling internationally years ago in East Asia (of all places) and they were trying to charge me extra for bringing a personal item (my purse) on the plane. I was discussing this issue with them when I saw a Caucasian male get on the plane right in front of me with a personal item without having to pay the extra fee. I quickly pointed this out to them and they became quiet and told me to get on board. Always pay attention to your surroundings and advocate for yourself!
Iam so sorry to hear that. Can you tell me which east asian country do something like that?
@@rutigerslair all you need to know is that when I brought it up to them they became silent and told me to pass through and didn’t check the other guys ticket, that’s the context babe
@@taniah2303she doesn’t need context, she’s just using that as an excuse to mask the fact that she agrees with them
Don’t go after the manager in this video, GO AFTER THE COWARD BOSS WHO SENT HIM AND THEN REFUSED TO SHOW HIMSELF
Yeah like wtf was the manager supposed to do? Overrule his boss?
He put his manager to do the dirty work because the lady started filming - wouldn’t even come out when she asked.
I half felt sorry for the guy in the video in the beginning but at some point you see that he realises how unjust the situation is. He had a chance to rise above and call out his boss for discrimination. Maybe he was struggling and needed his job but he chose his job over morality and that’s why he’s fired. If you allow people to get away with discrimination when you have the chance to stop it, you’re part of the problem. I hope the guy learns and becomes a better person.
He still knew the orders that he was given were racist. He could’ve stood up for what was right and not followed through with kicking them out if he really cared. Smh 🤦🏾♂️
@@nickandjoshlover1568 Sooooo you're gonna give up your job to white knight a situation ??? During a virus outbreak ??? Yet you paid taxes your entire life funding killers ? How does that make sense? His job is to wait tables not be a racial defender.
The boss literally threw his waiter under the bus. But he's the one that gets to keep his job.
Capitalism
Provide with his personal info......he can pay.
Also his mask had valves on it. Who is it protecting?
@@luddity you know, I don't think a lot of people know that about filtered masks... that the filter only works one way and that is to protect the mask wearer, not those around them.
Maybe the whole thing was initiated by the waiter and the boss only sets back at the office.
This is freaking ridiculous. I would have asked for the boss man. This poor guy shouldn't have had to deal with it. Boss should grow some and face her himself
Poor manager, it was not him that denied the boy the entrance, but it's the boss. He was just trying to calm things down, trying to say the right thing as he was taught to, was not being abusive and yet the anger was directed towards him and now he will be on the internet forever as the racist manager. Hope things work out for him now.
The upper level manager is such a coward. He made his subordinate deal with it and he gets fired? Wtf the boss should be fired
👆
He learned that from the president.
Agreed
I hope he gets his job back after his boss gets fired hopefully.
BOYCOTT!!! And THEN take Trump-style action against the owners.
dude this man was straight fired because you can tell he's trying his hardest not to say "because my boss is a racist"
edit: to all the racists in the comments, do you think that having stronger heritage from africa makes people predisposed to not following dress codes? what's your logic with that.
Why not straight away say his boss hates Blacks!
@@sootuckchoong7077 because he'd be fired? People still need to eat?
@@Fl0atee I mean he was still fired in the end so who knows...
Exactly.
@@Fl0atee he was fired in the end so..
It wasn’t that employee’s fault. He had to stick by what his boss had already told them. But unfortunately he was the one who was fired, not his boss.
mom handled it with grace, I would have lost it. Her son's just standing there quietly and will likely remember this racist traumatic event for the rest of his life. People, DO BETTER.
Policy is policy.. has nothing to do with race.
@@PerfectionInMotion69 then how come only the black kid can’t wear athletic clothes but the white kid can wear athletic clothes ? What’s the difference besides race ?
I’m waiting …..
@@wandering4786
There could be many reasons. You can wait all you want, pumpkin.. I really couldn't care less about explaining possible situations to a self-entitled crybaby. Policy is policy, rules are rules. They reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. I refuse service to their kind all the time. Not going to ruin my business reputation for letting them in. Don't like it ? Go spend your food stamps elsewhere.
@@PerfectionInMotion69 See, and now you’ve proved it IS about race. Sprinkling in the “food stamps” comment as well, nice lol.
Thank you for being unable to actually answer the question while simultaneously proving my point !
Y’all make it too easy …
@@wandering4786 The white kid isn't wearing "athletic clothes". His shorts are several inches longer than the black kid's. The black kid's clothing is also made out of athletic-style materials and graphics.
This host literally trying with all his effort to not say "my boss is racist sorry, you're right but I don't wanna get fired"
he did afterall... poor dude
Nah, I don't think the mother would've tooken it, and says something else than as of what most of us would expect. Like a Karen.

@@centauria9122 is that even a compete thought within that horrendous attempt at a sentence. Get a proper education chump!
Not really. Being complicit makes you part of the crime. He should have spoken up to the boss. What he did, irrespective of the reason behind it, is racist
If they weren't filmed, people wouldn't believe these things are happening.

So if you boycott that will work fine then only white people will be eating there.
@@FurryDanOriginal the messenger got killed, as usual... smh

They fired the WRONG guy for no reason, smh the store is so disappointed
I feel bad for him
When I look at that guy's face I honestly feel bad that he was fired, choice 1. Say he s allowed, fired choice 2. Follow the orders u got, fired gg life
Wow. The comments are more concerned for the fired manager than the child who was literally made to felt he was less a person because of the color of his skin. If he is a manager I'm sure he knew why the child was denied, has participated in and allowed these racist policies to enacted. But oh poor him. You white people are really something else.
@@EddyBMultimedia Everybody who's a decent person here feels bad for the child, that's why people want the one who was actually responsible fired. The manager would've probably let the child in had his boss not told them to leave. If you're satisfied with the manager being fired you've fallen in the trap. He became the scapegoat for the actions of the boss, and he gets away unscathed. He ruined a 9-year old child's day, and let someone else take the fall for him. This entire restaurant chain should just shut down judging by their repeated racist offenses.
I feel bad for the mother, who had to deal with her child being discriminated.
I feel bad for the child, who has had to deal with this at such a young age.
And yes, I feel bad for the manager. You can tell he didn't agree with what his boss made him do while his boss scurried away as to not be on camera.
Should he have stood up for them? If possible, yes, but for all we know he may have really needed that job. That boss can go rot in jail for all I care.
Assuming people who feel bad for the manager are white is dumb. What, because POC can't feel sympathy for white skinned humans? I'm not white, I've had to deal with racism, and I hate racists, as many people do, which is why I would feel bad if someone who doesn't necessarily deserve it gets labeled with such a disgusting label.
This is a COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA channel, their subjects are: anti police, defunding the cops is justified, anti white, anti America, pro blacks, pro immigrants, pro lgbtq, pro BLM. Their modus operandi is to find video clips they could use to advance their anti American and since no one is perfect it's easy to find those video clips. What you won't find however are video clips of e.g blacks beating up Asians, or black against black crimes.
*YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE* (NO EXPLANATION NEEDED) BY LAW, YOU CAN TELL ANYONE TO LEAVE AND GIVE NO REASON.
That's irrelevant to the whole point of the video.
an excellent policy, stops extortion in its path
You don't have the right to refuse service because of race. That's the whole point of civil rights.
No one was saying the video was unlawful.
You’re a racist grasping at straws - congrats
Double standard!
Boycott these type of establishments, they are stupid.
@Cristian Dina But it would be a strong Signal. And direct.
@Cristian Dina Then what are other options.
Yes, I will write right now a negative comment on trip advisor.
@Cristian Dina It threatens their money.
Thisb is why we need to patron small black owned restaurants!!
What makes this even more worse is it’s a CHILD.
Exactly!
i understand the reference
Imagine him going home after witnessing all this... He's forever traumatized.
He looks very embarrassed. Poor kid 😞
When has that ever stopped people?
This woman was amazing. Clear. She's making him say what he KNOWS but doesn't want to say. And she's doing it firmly yet calming AND she's filming. That's it. No more flip phone for me. I'm out here with Smart phone or at least a GoPro or something to protect myself when breathing while Black.
How disgusting. People should boycott these restaurants. Is this ever going to stop.
That manager is not in the fault, it's his freaking BOSS. That poor man tried his best to do his job without insulting anybody.
That's true
But he don't answer her question about the white kid
he was in agreement with his racist boss
@@josenildoferreiraassuncao8963 No, he wasn't. 0:46
He has the same trait as his manager
@@gersoncunha955 he knew the answer but hated the answer. He knows how messed up it is but he wants to keep his job so he simply stays quiet. Its a pretty normal response.

Did the manager get fired?
How could the boss be fired???
@@user-bl4oq7fd8d by his boss
Both were fired the company said they seen the video and didn't agree with how their staff handled the situation.
"Who told you that?"
What a giveaway. I bet they'd have let them eat there if the racist boss wasn't on-site. I almost feel sorry for the deputy. Almost. Sometimes you just have to do the right thing, no matter what your boss might say.
Exactly. Do the right thing and maintain your honor as a human being. Honor... something most people don't have these days.
Yea well some people also aren’t trying to get fired lol. But I guess it was a lose lose situation for him.
@@generic_user_ agreed. Either he loses his job, or some kid just eats in a better restauraunt. It was the obvious choice, the mom just wanted to be the hero.
FIRE BOSS, NOT THE POOR MANAGER WHO WAS JUST DOING WHAT HIS BOSS TOLD HIM.
Why did he got fire, the manager should've lost the job not the gentleman talking to the lady. This is a very despicable country to live in.
The one talking is the manager
@@kanzosurasshu4007 the manager could just go "derp, derp, derp", that's some white privilege right there, he can't even speak properly and he is the manager.
The manager was the one talking. The owner was the one who told him to not allow them in and he was following orders. Then they made the manager the scapegoat by getting rid of him.
The manager is one that told me them couldn't come in, and the guy who told him not to come in before the manager was the guy that owned the restaurant.
So if that manager and the owner or telling you no, nobody's going to get fired bro.
The guy talking to the lady is not he's fault if the boss told him to not let the boy eat. But I m angry to see that people have those type of rules when eating at a restaurant! But then again it's there restaurant.
His boss knew why they weren’t allowed. That’s exactly why he used him as a messenger. They fired the wrong guy. Don’t support this business!
Agree . Dont support such businesses .
that dude has the worse day getting a karen to leech on him and then getting kicked by the restaurant.
@@zeuxlaught2797 there's a big difference between being a Karen and dealing with racism and defending yourself. The manager was honestly upset and was going to do something about it until he realized it was his boss who said it so he just bit the bullet.
@@zeuxlaught2797 wow you have no idea what karen means do you?
This was not even close to being karen. This was totally justified questions and wondering why other kid got in in similar clothing but her son did not.
Learn the difference between karens and justified actions.
@@takoja507 that person was a Karen bc they were talking to the wrong person.
Good job mom 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼Your son will remember you standing up for him! I encourage people NOT to dine there.
Why is there even a dress code for a restaurant in the first place? Or am I just not understanding something???
High-end restaurants will have them create a better ambiance. Especially if it's a place to celebrate special occasions. In casual diners, if u dress up too nice, ppl gonna stare or talk. For such reasons, high-end places are preferable since they have dress code. It is their business, their policy. This diner did not however enforce it in a fair manner.
It’s sometimes apart of the restaurant theme. At Some restaurant you have to dress in professional or classy attire
So they punished the mouthpiece, and left it at that. That's a statement. Vote with your money, folks.
Yeah, i got a feeling from the guy talking to them that he was just doing what he was told and didnt want to lose his job.
Yeah that is BS, the guy clearly didn't have a choice. His boss is the one who gave those orders but he is led untouched.
@ivy evans but what if the boss is the owner/franchisee ??
Only thing atlas can do is revoke the license I doubt they'd be able to do that easily
@@SamLopeZz We can do something about it tho. Leave 1 star reviews. I already have!

EXCEPT IT'S COMPLETELY NOT THE EMPLOYERS FAULT ANS SHE KNOWS IT. THE GUY IS FEELING REALLY BAD AND WHAT CAN HE DO THAT HE ALREADY HASN'T DONE? IT'S THE BOSS FAULT... SMH
And I would love to know why can't people sympathize with people from other ethnicities now? Huh? Is this an American entitled thing now? Wtf.. I empathize with my black friends and sympathize when there's some issue that sucks but nothing I can really do to change it.
@@bulletsfordinner8307 *"WHAT CAN HE DO THAT HE HASN'T ALREADY DONE?"*
I don't know... maybe show them to their seats and serve them like he did for the white family.
*"IT'S THE BOSS FAULT... SMH"*
So racial discrimination is okay so long as one's 'just following orders' now?
Oh boy, busting out the 'I have black friends' trump card. If you're asking "why can't we sympathize with people from other ethnicities" because of what the woman in the video said, you are completely missing the point and I doubt you are capable of truly empathizing with your 'black friends'.
*"there's some issue that sucks but nothing I can really do to change it."*
With an attitude like that, you'd be complacent to racism when it happens right in front of you---much like the host in this video. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
No one wants to hear your declarations of empathy when you stand by and support racial discrimination. It only comes across as lukewarm acceptance.
Dios mío, what an injustice. Sorry little boy this happened to you. Great mom for defending her son.
Well they can keep their "dress code"
I'd spend my money elsewhere.
Lmao its 2020, who tf still has "dresscode". The restaurant doesn't even look fancy enough to have one
It does look good though
Exactly! I don't even get why some restaurants have dresscodes, especially the fancy ones.. like, I came here to eat, obviously I also came because I can afford it... like as long as someone can pay, let them in! Some people wanna enjoy some good meal with comfy clothes 😂
I agree
Yeah it's ridiculous, if this was a button up or suit type of restaurant I would totally understand. There's a guy at 0:51 just wearing a simple T-shirt. The kid is just wearing normal comfortable warm weather outfit. Ridiculous dress code and ridiculous restaurant. Either go the no shirt, no shoes, no service kind of way or go button up/suit and tie or don't have a dress code at all. I have to get dressed for their restaurant but only a little bit, wtf is that.
@@quickwingposts maybe you didn't read but the comment clearly mocked the restaurant at how it had a clothes requirement list. Nobody mentioned race here
his boss is racist. As simple as that. He is in a very difficult position because he cannot say that.
He should have said it OUTLOUD for all patrons to hear, then quit right then and there publicly. The little coward lost his job anyway. Now he can sit at home and look in the mirror and be ashamed of himself for not having courage and values. Those attributes would go along way in his life.
Tonto Gonzales looool he probably liked his job a lot well paid and probably other benefits, he ain’t a coward, he’s probably as mad as u guys in the comments 😂 n how r u suppose to know that ur gonna get fired for listening to ur boss
Tonto Gonzales It’s easy to talk about “courage” and “doing the right thing” when you’re not the one in this situation, but in the real world, you can’t always do what you want to do. Poor guy was just trying not to lose his job. You should know how hard it is to get a stable job during a pandemic. He has to worry about bills, food, maybe a mortgage, etc. If you have to blame someone, blame his boss.
@@ethker3607 afraid to be a good man, for a Job, is the lamest excuse I've ever heard. There are people that lost 30 year careers for standing up and doing the right thing. You know why? Because good people, brave people make the difference in society , which world do you wanna live it? This is 2020, time for excuses are way past us.
Tonto Gonzales He literally couldn’t have made a difference. “Standing up” would literally only cause him to be fired, and his boss would continue to be racist towards future customers. The world is not a fairy tale, there aren’t always happy endings. Risking his job like this is not an act of courage, it’s stupid. Obviously you’re either very young, with no concept of having to keep a stable job to keep up with taxes and bills. Or you’re a boomer, you had it easy back in the day and you were able to get a high paying job with only a high school diploma and your first house cost like $1000.
honestly, id head straight for the reviews for this restaurant and have a field day lol
Thank you Mom for standing up
“Just tell me why it’s different for my son.”
Those few seconds of silence speak a lot of volumes because he CLEARLY had no defense or answer.
Oh no he had an answer, he knew exactly what the answer was. He just couldn't say it because he hated the answer.
He knew it was 100% wrong and that’s what is upsetting.
He knew what it is was but he didn't want to get fired
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 he had nothing to do , it was his boss who told them no and he went back and spoke to his boss if you pay attention so his boss must've clearly told him no and in the beginning he had an issue with who told them that until he realized it was his boss. He can't go over his boss. It was an uncomfortable situation for him because he didn't want to do what he was doing.
@@legendairy9054 he had something to do with it. He knew what it was. Even if it was my boss I would rather get fired than keep working at a place that discriminates.

It's clear what the boss's intentions were. Of course only when black people wear certain clothing, it's considered "inappropriate" aka unclean/poor. But not when a white person does.

I can understand "No shoes, no shirt, not pants -----No service", but that mile-long dress code is beyond ridiculous.
Why would u want to eat there with their ridiculous rules
They don’t have to change their rules. They just have to be fair.
Exactly, telling the little black boy he needed to go home and get appropriate wear isn't racist, however ONLY asking the little black boy and not the white boy is racist.
Thank you. Its obvious but not obvious enough I guess.
They don't even have to be fair. Your restaurant your choice. If you don't like the service you may leave. Speak with your dollar.

@@SirLovestain I wonder if you're still as openly bigoted when you're not hiding behind your mommy's computer screen?
I feel bad for the manager. I'm pretty sure he was also just like "wtf it's a kid who cares?" The boss was racist and made the manager do his bidding and then fired him. That's real low.
Are dress codes racist?
Are you saying black people are incapable of following directions so they should receive special treatment? Wow that’s racist af.
Kelema Cabatingan
Maybe you should read it again then. It’s very clear. You know how you play a board game with a child, and you let them slide when they do things wrong or break the rules? That’s the treatment that you, and everybody else who thinks the manager was racist, want from whites to blacks. It’s sad.
I happen to believe that everybody is capable of following rules and no one should be given preferential treatment when they break them.
Do you understand now?
@@NJLev what about the white kid? He was wearing practically the same stuff. And bro really it's besides the point. It's a kid just let him off. I don't care if it's a black, white, hispanic, purple kid. The company was even like "well we expected them to realize the rules weren't for kids, but I guess now we have to rewrite them" and now they put over 12. Point is just let the kid off the hook. It's really just too big a deal.

Yeah, the “practically” is where I take issue. Have you ever tried to play basketball in Chino shorts? Why is it so hard for you admit that the kid broke the rules? I honestly blame the mother. She should know better than to take her son to a restaurant with a dress code when he was dressed for Chuckie Cheese.

And if you disagree with the dress code, that’s cool. Open your own restaurant with no dress code, you have the freedom to. Just like this restaurant has the freedom to implement one if they like. Welcome to America.
why is there even a dress code in a restaurant
They didn't have the nerve to enforce the policy until a black kid walked up. Smdh
Has nothing to do with nerve. They happily let white in to dine. It's racism and false superiority that is used to keep PoC out.
You know the white kid had tennis shoes
It worded to trick you if the first thing you look at someone is the shoes they are wearing somethings wrong
Stop trying to make everything about race also he was 9 but its policy also tou know we see a black waitress so you know...

The kid's sad face is really heart breaking
Yeah the way he looked at his shorts after the manager told that was the problem. The kid will definitely remember that
You guys, this is where it starts tho. The dismantling of a child's positive self regard. Those studies they did of kids and different colored dolls? Yeah, this is how that underlying self shaming starts. This is quite literally the mechanics of white supremacy at work in real time. Watch that video again and think about that.
Very sad.
Putting aside the blatent racism, that dress code makes no sense, what other clothes are young boys meant to wear?
Tuxedos for toddlers 🤓
I can see a dress code for adults but not for kids
Growing up we had what people call respect. When you went to an upscale restaurant, church, funeral, or other type places you wore dress pants and a polo at the minimum. Now I see kids looking like they rolled out of bed and showed up
Ꭺ N Ꮹ Ꭼ Ꮮ ' Ꮪ Ꮮ Ꮖ F Ꭼ Exactly. Or they just shouldn’t let kids go there at all because what are kids supposed to wear?
@Dustin Caso Agreed. Business have every right to establish a dress code, but at least be consist and apply that to ALL PEOPLE.
Why are we still eating at places like this?
Don't ever go there again. Spread the word.
The boy isn't even a teenager yet and look at what he's already experienced.
It's so upsetting
That’s the SADDEST part of it ALL. HE IS A CHILD. And still has a target on his back.
Black kid - Basketball shorts and a basketball shirt
White kid - Blue shorts and T shirt
Their dress code is stupid and we can all agree on that but no, the kids were NOT wearing the same thing

@Brenda Pulido He was forced by his boss to reject the kid. He was just following orders you dumbass.
Brenda Pulido you are probably that bosses friend or is the boss that is why your saying GOOD.

Yes he was doing what he was told but what’s RIGHT is RIGHT and what’s WRONG is WRONG! I bet he wished he would’ve walked off the job that day.
That small silence, spoke 1000 words.
They are already showing this Black 9 year old that the world will treat him differently. The restaurant is instilling doubt, hate, them against us atttitude in his young mind. People of all colours should boycott this establishment.
This waiter was so polite but he find himself in cross fire. I am sad for this waiter.
I'm not. He could have sat them and said nothing to his boss. Then backed them up when push came to shove.

I respect the mother so much. “I don’t want sympathy, I just want you to explain why it’s different for my son”
“Oh you didn’t see the other kid? I have a video do you want to take a look?” 😑
That’s how you hold racism accountable.
We already know the deal, it's called racism!!! Try to stay away from whites if they don't want you around. I wouldn't eat there! Bye!
I respect her so much for holding then accountable instead of just accepting the circumstances and leaving without a peep
It's not like all of the sudden, blacks realize, racism. We deal with it at work, stores, you name it! Id rather cook, my own food. When someone show you who they are believe them!
@The Better Society I don't get it! What good is calling them out! It's so many more out there! Leave them to themselves! Let them turn on each other!
@@CUZZBass-hy7nj - I understand your desire to simply refuse to patronize this type of establishment, but refusing to hold them accountable only allows them to perpetuate their racist policies. Yes, there are a lot of them, but progress is made by inches, not miles.
I love how he keeps dodging the mother's questions. First sign of guilt there.
But tbh he the messenger getting put on the spot, it’s his boss who’s at fault
I will never eat at any of their establishments.
I love the way this mum keeps her dignity the whole time “I don’t want your sympathy, I want an explanation”
Kinda sucks the kid had to answer for his bosses decision, he had no idea what the real issue was at first. Then he had to walk a thin line appeasing both parties involved, probably just trying to get a paycheck (the waiter guy).
But I feel sorry for that guy who need to answer for the woman, it's like don't know what to do either
White waiter: silly black lady, don't you understand.. if you are black, you are wearing an athletic shirt.. but if you are white and wearing the same type of shirt... then you are not.. isn't this so obvious?
She's a helluva woman.
Yes but she shouldn't have been too harsh on the poor guy, you can tell that he knew it was fcked up but he had no other way trying to clear the conversation, he was just following orders.
She should of just understood that she isn't gonna get a decent answer from the guy and rop it, but instead picked up the video and drawed out the conversation for another 10min.
Its one thing trying to prove a point but sometimes just drop it, you dont wanna put your kid in that kind of spot.
Man, feeling so helpless as a parent must be the worst thing ever.
My mother would be on fire if this happened to me
Imagine being on child support 😔
Welcome to being the parent of an ethnic minority.
Jack City I don’t get it. Help me understand?
@@JackCity08401 funny 😐
The fact that they enforce a dress code for little kids, or anyone, is just so elitist. And only enforcing it for her kid, and not the other child, is simply racist.
Bruhh the white child was wearing a playboy T-shirt and the black child that was refused service at the restaurant was wearing a regular outfit wtfff, America is so messed up man…
"I'm not looking for sympathy I just want to know why?"
Thats all we want
@Above All, United exactly! republicans want regression back into their "good ol days" where white people were openly racist and we're socially and economically better than minorities. They don't want equality.
If you have a dress code fine. But enforce it on everyone equally... just seems like basic logic
Exactly thank you
they did in fact enforce it equally, don't be stupid.
@@steelernation4475 I agree with you. Maybe the shirt wasn't because one was blatantly a sporting shirt (Jordan) but the shorts were basically the same.
@@steelernation4475 They are not , and that's why there is a problem here in the first place. That kid was not wearing gym shorts. It's simple to understand. You are wrong no matter how you feel about it.
@@rudiruttger 1:14 ... oh yeah very fancy and professional looking blue shorts. Truly 'black tie' worthy...
And the guy said it was because of 'athletic t-shirt and athletic shorts' then it was just the shorts... because the white kids leaving clearly have similar t-shirts. How can you pretend like this isn't a double standard?
Some of these dresscodes are rediculous, and in an ordinary mall, seriously?
I would just boycott the restaurant sounds like they have a long history of doing this
Honestly if a restaurant has a dress code I just wont eat there, sounds like an environment I want no part of
It's a proxy for wealth and civility. Not saying it's right tho
Yeah, I just want to eat. Why is it the clothes be a problem? Dress code should be a thing for workers in a restaurant, not the customers.
Our family has had the same issue, we just leave and take our business elsewhere. Let the scumbags huddle in their lonely little hut.
broke mfs be funny ash
White people restaurants
I can understand dress codes but you need to enforce them with everyone. And that white kid was wearing the same. Wow.
Maybe it was racism maybe it just was a different staff member. I understand her frustration but it is their code and the only thing she could have achieved was them apologising for not throwing out the white kid.
I think the mall situation is a lot worse. Their code is just a placeholder to throw out whoever they like and definitely designed to treat people unfair.
They didn't want basketball shorts. The white kid is not wearing basketball shorts.
@@stevenv6463 lmao how naive can you be?
@@jobo2243 Great argument, you really convinced me with those hot opinions.
@Asem Elmagboul So you disagree that the black kid had basketball shorts and that it is against the dress code? Do you disagree that the white kid doesn't have basketball shorts and this isn't against the dress code?
That innocent kid doesn’t deserve to be mistreated badly
And this is the world's most advanced nation...stopping a 9 year old from eating because of athletic shirt😂😂😂😂👏👏
This child shouldn’t have to walk away wondering why he was targeted! It is an experience black people never forget once they go through it!
And then people have the audacity to say, "I understand."
It was because of the dress code. His mom was the one causing a scene, thinking it was racism.
Perhaps the manager just made a bad judgement call, but once a person of color has experienced it; and with proof, it’s often hard to shake.
@ Yeah a dress code that doesn't apply to a white boy. You guys can never understand how it feels, and you think it's fine as long as you sympathise with us. No! That's the last thing we want.
T. Amare the white kid wasn’t wearing athletic clothing tho, it looks more like khaki shorts, while the black kid got a shirt with a huge Jordan logo and basketball shorts, this isnt a racism case
The way this little boy looked down on his clothes while biting his lip honestly has me in tears. I’m so sorry that you had to go through this baby 😢😢
The comment section is an echo chamber of virtue signalling liberal idiots. Do not waste your time
Black kid - Basketball shorts and a basketball shirt
White kid - Blue shorts and T shirt

Barnabus Collins that’s why the said “similar” you know that word? You could have missed it but
@@barnabuscollins8800 what was the difference?? You think it was because the lady’s son had basketball shorts and the other kid didn’t. I couldn’t tell but they looked almost exactly the same to me.
Poor child being exposed to racism since young..by people claims to be adult. Shameful
I was literally thinking the same thing... Poor child... Having to see the reality of bigotry up close and so personal, this early on...

Discrimination is rampant in America 🇺🇸
I dont understand why people want to give money to establishments who dont appreciate them
Why *black people
We just need to stop spending money with them period. This is a sick and twisted mindset.
Quite sure the lady didnt actually want to eat there. She was trying to get the manager to admit the bias in the dress code. She was exposing them.
I have been cooking meals better then the restaurant. More money in my pocket. I bet when people stop going the restaurant and the store goes out of business. The owner will regret his/her decision.
It's about the principal though at this point. I think it's good that she pressed them on their clearly biased enforcement of their dress code.
The manager on camera should have let the family eat there once he acknowledged the fact that it would have been discriminatory to allow one family to eat at the restaurant with an inappropriately dressed child while simultaneously telling another family they couldn't. He may have been instructed by his boss, but he's the one on camera carrying out the discriminatory practice.
that restaurant really wanna control what we customers wear man ain’t nobody gonna eat in that restaurant like that
Manager didn’t deserve this, his boss did. Then again, after a moment like this is a good moment to quit your job.
Exactly what I thought.
Shut up. You kidding me? He didnt go confront the white kid and his family. It's absolutely his fault as well.
@@jahlegion Yes sure... he was under orders and caught between a sure write up and a possible escalation. Well I hope one day you end up in his boots to see how you fare.
I dont feel bad for the manager at all. He deserved the hate but the owner most definitely deserve the hate! The manager should have did the right thing. Maybe we would have respected him more.
The manager who gave a definitive answer on the other child's shirt and then admitted he hadn't really gotten a good look at it?
So the Manager got fired but the Boss didn't? When it was his boss who was giving the order?
putting blame on the manager 😭
This is how the corporate world works... Bosses will never admit their faults so will have close an eye else fired and not get hired anywhere else because you'll be tagged with a title of a "Whistleblower" and no company will hire you because there is no honest firm in this world.
Work for shameful ppl and that’s what you get.🤷♂️ He’s no victim. Him upholding his boss’s racism makes him just as accountable. No part of me feels sorry for him. He could’ve sat the family and explained that another child was granted entry wearing essentially the same outfit so to avoid any racial tension, he decided to seat the family.
@@KingKenTM He's forced to follow the orders else he'll get fired....Money is needed for survival for food, pay bills, other expenses.... he's helpless himself too.
@@sreejeshsaji5849 he’s not helpless. If someone pays me to kill ppl or else they’ll fire me, it’s still my choice to kill ppl. It wouldn’t make me any less of a murdered and I wouldn’t be a victim. At that point it’s about morals and the lengths you’d go for a dollar. There are plenty of job that hire all over the place so if he got fired from that place (which he did) he could just find another job (which he did). You can’t help enforce someone else’s racism and be void of any fault.
A dress code for a bar/restaurant?? Please… I’d rather not give them my money.🤷♀️
