Man Kicked Out of Restaurant Over Gold Teeth, Threatens To Sue

lake:  you have no recourse here.  If so, don't you think the blacks would have gotten into the country club in West Palm Beach by now?  That's the beauty of it.  If you don't like to come my place you don't have to.  And if I don't want you at my place I don't have to have you.  I think that's your right under the constitution of the United States.  Your pursuit of happiness.  A lot of people, including myself are deeply troubled with some of the 'clubs' out there that exclude people, but that's their right.  I have to accept that if I am an American.  You know like the Boy Scouts not taking in girls, or allowing gay memebers.  Is it bigotry?  Which is worse.  I don't know.

When it comes to basics like food, and shelter, I don't want ANYONE excluded... not even nurse BIG-FOOT. You mean I'd have a dinner in PUBLIC with every homeless guy, pimp, hooker, and crack head in Jacksonville? Why not? The big question for our citizens is...

Why wouldn't you?

As for my once fair female "Bigfoot", I don't think I'd sleep with her, but I'll be damned if she'd freeze on the walk in front of my house. Got bed? Got Food? End of question.

This isn't a club or some sort of hidden society.  Its a freaking average joe's pub in the middle of a major downtown in Florida's largest metropolitan area.

If I believed this quote 100%, that would mean I would be prefectly fine with some guy calling me a boy and telling me if I want to eat at his restaurant, I'll have to order out back, while the people he likes dine inside.  Or I'd be fine with my kids being taught with used outdated school books in poorly maintained buildings while the kids across the tracks get to learn in modern facilities with new supplies.

lake:  calm down.  couple of things here. First, I'm with you as I said before.  Second, there's is no difference in a restaurant in Beverly Hill Bills, or a Country Club in WPB.  Both are S-Corps or C-Corps  even maybe doing business as in the case of some small eats and neither get money from the State or Federal Governement to do business.  Unless, the eat place is like a soup kitchen, or food bank, which serously would feed all, there's going to be no rules as to who the owners can do business with just like the country club in West Palm. 

If you are getting to the point of "learning facilities" as in school, library, etc, then yes, those places do get federal/state funding which would quickly be pulled if kids accross the track were denied entrance based on race, sex, etc., et. but if they simple had gold teeth, the library might have rules for that, I know they do with offending tee-shirts and the like just as some school, not just private, but public have uniforms.

Don't worry Lake, when the "New Order" takes charge, your children can use those old books for home schooling. I hear they won't accept men of color, hippies, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses or anyone with mental illness. They're opening a new restaurant in town but nothing we can't work around... Just remember the sign at their gate...

WORK MAKES FREEDOM!



Kind of makes you wonder about society's evolution. Up or Down?

Don't worry, I'm not upset, I'm an easy going guy.  I was just continuing the discussion.

I learned this the hard way.  I told a Sun Bank officer that I think the teller took my money and he immediately closed my account.  I really did think she took my money. He said, we don't have to do business with you get out and dont come back.  I'm a clean cut white male waring an suit, white shirt and tie.  I was devisistated.   But learned a lession.

Two years after this situation (2010) snoop dog plays at Roxy's Pub...from the looks of it the no gold grills rule still stands.
