I am an old man...and have never seen a person kicked out of an establishment for their race (as best I can ascertain). There is nothing that would make me think that was the case here. As far as I know, race was never mentioned, the manager has not been outed as a KKK member, etc.. Bad things happen to folks of all race all the time when they misbehave. If you break the law, you should not expect an exception due to race. If you break the rules (this Strabuck reportedly had a rule that they would make people leave if they were loitering without buying anything)...it seems that you have no excuse/recourse unless you play the race card. They you are enriched. Not exactly a way to encourage appropriate behavior...or promote racial harmony. If the manager was not a racist before (unlikely she was)...she probably is now (and unemployed/unemployable).
