— Police report reveals new details on Naperville Buffalo Wild Wings racist
incident – Terrell Brown
https://abc7chicago.com/society/police-report-reveals-new-details-on-naperville-buffalo-wild-wings-racist-incident/5696571/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Reverend Jesse Jackson is working with the victims of a racist incident at a
Naperville Buffalo Wild Wings to get corporate commitments to avoid a boycott
of the chain. . .There are now threats of a national boycott if Buffalo Wild
Wings doesn’t make improvements. Jackson said he and Rainbow PUSH Coalition
will stand with the families to come up with a path forward. He is looking for
commitments from the company to stave off a boycott. “Not only that the
family get the proper apology that they deserve, but more than that,”
Jackson said. “Not only is equal treatment at stake but equal access to
franchises and construction. We cannot just be customers, we must be partners
in the process.” Buffalo Wild Wings said the company has been in touch
with the families and the governor, and is implementing new anti-racism
policies in hiring and management practices and welcomes constructive feedback.
Apologies alone at this point won’t be enough. “Because that would not
have been sufficient for Dr. King as it related to Miss Rosa Parks getting an
apology from the bus company,” said Bishop Tavis Grant. “We need systematic
constructive change. The roots out uproots racism at its very core.”
Jackson stressed he wants to avoid a boycott. Buffalo Wild Wings said 22
percent of its franchises are minority-owned, and by 2020 their largest
franchise will be African-American owned. The company has 1,200 restaurants,
and operates around the world.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Customer linked to race-related incident at Buffalo Wild Wings was known by
staff for racist comments, Naperville police reports show – SUZANNE BAKER

(FROM THE ARTICLE:
According to the police report, a man with a swastika tattoo and his female
acquaintance told police they had been regulars at the restaurant for the last
two to three years, visiting almost every Saturday to watch college football
and hockey. The couple had been sitting at a table for four in the restaurant
for about two hours when staff seated the group of 18 directly behind them, the
police report said. Both the man and woman told investigators they never spoke
with any of the members of the large group nor did they ask employees to move
the group. The woman told police she pulled their table 5 to 10 inches away
from the group so servers could move more freely between the tables. According
to police reports, the man told an investigator that Buffalo Wild Wings
employees “had heard him make racist jokes and comments in the past.” As a
result, some members of the staff “took it upon themselves to tell the large
group of (redacted) that they needed to move due to (redacted) being a racist.”
. . . One employee told police “the couple has made several negative comments
in the past about black people.” A restaurant manager told police that after
the Oct. 26 incident, several employees reported past inappropriate conduct
from the couple. The manager said he had been unaware of the previous conduct.
“If someone other than a Caucasian employee would bring them food, (redacted)
would refuse the food and send it back to the kitchen,” the police report
stated. One of the employees, in a written statement to police, blamed
miscommunication by the staff for the drama on Oct. 26. Marshall said
authorities found no evidence of a hate crime and no charges were filed as a
result of the incident. A member of the Buffalo Wild Wings corporate communications
team previously said the company fired two employees involved in the incident
and banned the man employees identified as racist from its restaurants.)

AMERICAN FREE PRESS
— Meet the Shills of Fake News – Donald Jeffries
https://americanfreepress.net/meet-the-shills-of-fake-news/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Considering how many Americans pay high tuition costs every year for college
degrees in journalism, or go to expensive broadcasting schools, it is
instructive to look at the backgrounds of those at the highest levels of the
media. On CNN alone, Anderson Cooper is the son of One Percenter Gloria
Vanderbilt and was a CIA college recruit for good measure. Chris Cuomo is the son
of former politician Mario Cuomo and brother of current New York Gov. Andrew
Cuomo. Among the network’s “senior advisors” are former Barack Obama aide David
Axelrod and former White House Fellow under Hillary Clinton Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
Chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper started out as press secretary for
Democratic congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, and worked for
a public relations firm run by Jimmy Carter’s press secretary, Jody Powell, as
well as Handgun Control Inc. Several among CNN’s on-air “talent” sit on the
boards of big corporations, an all-too-common practice this author exposed in
the book Survival of the Richest. Not only do these positions provide lucrative
“part-time” income, they represent a clear conflict of interest.)
