I am in disbelief that there is so much ignorance in this world. Times like these help me understand the importance of standing together with your own. Today I decided to walk to lunch and chose to go to a little restaurant within walking distance...from work. Orange Garden Chop Suey 1942 W Irving Park Rd. Chicago IL 60613 to be exact. I walk in and a woman comes from the back and lifts her hand towards the left side of the restaurant and invites me to take a seat. I looked at the booths but they seemed small so I set my purse on a small table that had a few chairs around it. She starts speaking in her language to another lady which I could feel that it was about me but I continued to wait for a menu. The lady then comes over and says can you sit at this booth please? I said I'm sorry, I prefer a table, is that ok? She says "No its not ok, you sit at booth." I said, "is there any reason?" This lady has the nerve to say "You sit at booth, we cant have you facing that direction." I looked up and saw a table full of Caucasians and realized she didn't want me faced towards them while they were eating. I kindly got up and said, "No thank you" instead of sitting there being treated as if looking at a person of color is nauseating. I am so tired of hearing other races say that racism is a thing of the past and they ask Black people to stop bringing it up. It frustrates me that I even have to be specific with my children and say things like "You are a beautiful BLACK girl or BLACK girls rock or your BLACK skin is so beautiful" because if I DON'T then the world will teach them to hide and be ashamed of their God given features. I am so angry right now, I am the most loving person in the world. I love people regardless of their race, I enjoy conversations with strangers about their life, I also teach my children to love all people as well. I work for my money, I am a law abiding citizen yet still I am treated like this. I will never step foot in this establishment ever again and wanted to share my experience with everyoneMore
