Buffalo Wild Wings Told Us To Move Our Group Because A White Man Didn't Want Us Near Him!

Buffalo Wild Wings now faces controversy after Black family was told to move because of a white man's concerns.

Looks like Buffalo Wild Wings is doing a sweep of their restaurants after a social media posting about a server's request went viral.

A Black family went to the Naperville, Illinois location for a large gathering. They said they were asked to change tables at this location because a regular was upset over the large crowd.

The incident happened in late October and started to pick up steam once the junk food media picked up on it. The group had at least 18 customers, children and adults of multiple ethnicities, were asked to move to another table because another customer didn't want to sit near Black people.

Justin Vahl said the group had been at some basketball games and one of the children was celebrating a birthday. Vahl had asked the host about accommodating some additional people in their party when he said the server asked him what his race was.

The incident at Buffalo Wild Wings brought tears to my children's eyes.

"I was appalled," Vahl said. "I was immediately astonished I was even asked that question, but I responded, 'What does that matter?' and so the host said, "We have a regular customer here who doesn't want to sit around black people."

As the group took their seat, Vahl told the group about the ordeal.

"That racist customer continued to look back at us and give us some dirty looks. We didn't speak with him but we could tell that he he did not want us there, us being a Black, biracial, just a very unique and diverse and happy group, and obviously this bigot of a customer did not want us sitting there in a public establishment," Vahl said.

Vahl and two others said that restaurants managers asked the group to move to another table away from the customer.

Mary Vahl shared it on social media and it went viral.









So about 45 minutes into the back and forth with management decided to leave the establishment.

"It brought tears to my eyes, to the point where when I walked out of the restaurant that night I called my mother and I couldn't even speak," Marcus Riley said. "She answered the phone, it was dead silence, right it's me with tears."

Buffalo Wild Wings released a statement on the controversy.

"We take this incident very seriously and after conducting a thorough, internal investigation have terminated the employees involved. Further, we have banned the customer who exhibited the inappropriate behavior from all Buffalo Wild Wings sports bars for life. Buffalo Wild Wings values an inclusive environment and has zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind."

"We have been in direct communication with the group of guest to understand their account of what happened and have offered our deepest apologies for any unacceptable behavior. In addition to a company-wide RESPECT program we launched this fall, Buffalo Wild Wings will conduct sensitivity training throughout our Chicagoland sports bars in response to this incident."

This is the latest of incidents where white folks are either calling the law on Black [people] minding their business or getting angry because of them visiting establishments.

We haven't identified the man who complained or the managers who started the mess. Hopefully, they'll never work in the service industry ever again.

Mind you that man who caused the problem will eventually be found. He will get a lawyer, close his social media and dispute the claims. He will likely do all he can to prove he's not a "racist."
