Damn Denny's And 'Errbody' Else, Let My People Pee

Spartanburg, SC based Denny's Inc. is a 1,749-restaurant chain which is one of the largest restaurant companies in the United States.

Back during the 80's Denny's had a corporate 'ethnic cleansing' policy in which managers were under orders not to allow too many Blacks to congregate in their restaurants. I saw firsthand in the 80's the ridiculous extremes that Denny's peeps went to in order to keep their restaurants free of African descended people.

One night when me and my friends went to a Denny's by the Astrodome, they tried to charge us $5 cover just to get in. At another location they tried to make us prepay for food as we watched Whites get seated first without prepaying. Another time at that same Astrodome location me and two Black friends waited for our food while numerous whites who came in after us got in, ordered their food and got out before we saw a single plate hit our table.

This is the same place that lost a $46 million lawsuit for discrimination against blacks right?  Right.  They were in hot water with the suit as it was when they treated a couple of black gentleman quite badly, turns out the guys were Secret Service Agents.  Opps.  Turns out that Secret Service Agents make damn fine witnesses.  Who knew?

Well, they do take an oath to do everything and anything to protect the president and all that.  And, in fairness, and in actual almost hero worship - they do.  We have news footage of several attempts, on Reagan and Ford, and you can see these guys getting between the gun and the POTUS.  Damn fine men and women.  Outstanding.  And a lot of people know this about them, which made Denny's look like total morons - that and the fact that Denny's had already seated and served their 14 white co-Secret Service Agents.
