Boycotting LJS
I got this via e-mail this morning:
I want to thank you all for your support on today. I want to especially thank Attorney Mawuli Davis of the Davis Bozeman Law Firm. After slapping an African American Customer, the manager of the Long John Silvers on Macon Street was charged with making Terroristic Threats, Disorderly Conduct and Assault and Battery. While we appreciate that the Judge saw fit to file these charges, we want to encourage the community to not shop at this restaurant. Meet us tomorrow for a Press conference at the Long John Silvers on Macon Street in mcdonough at 1100. If you have any questions, please call kenyatta bush at 678 768 1155If you want a boycott a business for something like this, I think that is all well and good. But I can't help but wonder whether or not they'd be doing this if it was an Angelo-Saxon American or German American customer that had been on the receiving end of this.

All of most likely not. It wouldn't have made the news if was a white person being slapped by a black person.

Slap? If thats all black folks did to white folks, there would be a lot less murders in this world.

Some people derive their self-worth from being professional victims all the time. Note I say "SOME." I didn't say "ALL."
It is long past time for these overly-sensitive people to pick themselves up, develop a tougher shell, quit crying like babies when you are called a name, offended, or are labeled (remember--the news reported the clerk [white] was called a "liar," and the clerk called the customer [black] the "n" word. Both acted like kindergarten school children).
Come on people--GET OVER IT, WILL YA? Jeepers! I wish that's all I had to worry about is someone calling me a name. I'm too busy working, doing the daily "commute from hell," and trying to raise my family.

I haven't been to a LJS in a while. What was the street address?
