IHOP INCIDENT
Keisha Mitchell and Elvis Polley eagerly arrived at IHOP to celebrate Polley's birthday, only to be met with a chilling display of racism.
Shockingly, the waitress blatantly refused to serve them, a cruel act that spoke volumes about deep-seated prejudice. The manager callously dismissed the incident as mere fussiness on the part of the waitress, but the truth was stark: they were denied service simply because of their race — because they were Black.
This despicable behavior was perpetrated by a veteran employee of 25 years, whose tenure evidently did nothing to erase her bigotry. Justice was eventually served when both the manager and the waitress were rightfully terminated. However, the scars of this harrowing ordeal lingered for Mitchell and Polley, a grim reminder of the persistent and pervasive nature of racism in society.
