I am doing a report.
I would like to get examples of discrimination.
I mean:
1 Specifically, what prompted the discrimination (besides you being black)?
2 What was the situation?
3 Where did it happen (city & state)?
4 When did it happen? I am doing a report about RECENT acts, so please do not respond about what happened in the 60s (not that it is not important--please don't misunderstand me--just that my report is about incidences of bigotry AFTER the year 2000.)
5 What did you DO about it? Did you call the police?
If so, what did THEY do about it? Were the parties involved properly prosecuted?
If not, why do you think they were not?
Also, sorry, this report DOES NOT INCLUDE acts of police brutality--again, not that it is not important, just not what this report is about (why? because I am writing about COMING into conflict, not incidents where there is already a conflict, such as an arrest).
6 Did media properly report on it?
Ok?
Thank you for your stories in advance:

I think (hope) the guy who walked out on the bill....was making a joke. Unfortunately, it's jokes (situations) like this that make people doubt that racism is real. It is real though. So people, when you hear silly stories like that one, dismiss it as ignorant and move on....

Perhaps posting under Dining Out was a mistake.

This comment is for Ropman1: YOU'RE A MORON! The fact that the waiter asked you to PAY HIM for food you'd EATEN had nothing to do with the color of your skin...it's BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO LEAVE WITHOUT PAYING, DUMBASS! ANYBODY (regardless of color) would have been stopped if they tried leaving a restaurant without paying....it's called STEALING and it's ILLEGAL. And to suggest shooting someone for $23....YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE that probably deserves to be shot himself. GROW UP AND START PAYING FOR THINGS IN LIFE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!

I was DINING OUT at a restaurant in Chicago, IL. I couldn't afford the bill, so I tried to leave without paying. The waiter caught me and asked me to pay. I told him that he wasn't being fair. I told him he was discriminating against me because I wasn't white like he was. He LAUGHED IN MY FACE!!!!! Can you believe that?
I pulled out a gun and told him to let me and my date leave without paying or else I would pop a cap in his a$$. The bill was about $23.
I didn't get in trouble because I was too fast for him to catch me. However, I never got another date again with her.
