Mississippi woman was called a "black bitch" by a white server after he handed her a receipt. |
This employee at this Mississippi restaurant thought it was funny to call a customer a bitch.
Alexia Washington was eating at Who Dat's on Friday. She ordered food and was horrified that receipt had that offensive slur on it.
Washington said that she immediately reported this to the manager who made the employee apologize.
However she was disturbed by the actions and decided to make an example out of him.
She posted on social media slamming what she believes is outright racism in the era of Donald J. Trump. A person who embellishes the negatives of America itself.
"I didn't have any type of hostility. He didn't have any hostility with me.
Her friend Jake Smith (under Jakez Smith) posted this on social media.
Washington had posted her response online but had to scrub it after she got racist remarks and death threats.
It went viral and it forced the owner of Who Dat's, Wylie Coleman to formally apologize. He also said that the employee in question was fired out the cannon.
"I seek justice for this hate crime and I will no longer remain silent," Washington wrote. "I’ve lived in Oxford for 5 years and I’m still having to deal with this type of ignorance. I’m not a rude or hateful person. I was not rude when I was at this establishment and was greeted with this kind of service. I will not stand for it."
Coleman said "the employee responsible did not represent us as a business or personality. We do not feel this way about women or condone any racial identifier. We feel identities of sex & race should be communicated in a formal & professional manner in every place of business & we feel like it is most important to have employees that already have that professionalism behind closed doors.
"There is no justice to this immediately & we will respond to everyone in time." the post continued. "We apologize about this situation and will grow from it."
