Nah, if I were, I would likely post something like this:

No you would not.

You’d be too afraid of the very active, very unfriendly court of public opinion to peep a word.

I will never say never... Just because anything is possible, but out of all groups of people that would be at chimes, I would think college students would be the least likely to say that. Its just that overall kids today are more "woke" in general.

What I think is more likely is that the black dude might have thought he heard the drunk kids say it or something like that.

What I don't understand is the whole "being black is so exhausting". If I went somewhere and for whatever reason someone told me, out of the blue, something people would consider offensive about being in a wheelchair, I am going to ignore it because I am not going to let some stupid frick ruin whatever I have going on.

If that person continues then I will go tell them "if you got the balls, go in the middle of the restaurant and yell what you just said to me so that everyone can hear you. If not, then shut the frick up".

When I was younger I been in situations where I was told something by a random person or I heard random people next to me (like waiting in a line to get in somewhere) make a joke to the person they are with about me and... because I was younger, stupid and didn't control my instinct as well I say something to them where everyone around could hear and... Well, I just learned that it's to not be the person everyone hears say things..

Of course I have worked out every scenario in my head, but the point I am trying to make is that saying "being black is so exhausting" is something a person allows to happen to themselves and that tells me that they sort of have a "victim mentality" and would be more likely to think he heard something or even... want to hear something. That's the part I don't understand..

And in the very rare occasion that it did happen like he said then I don't know what to say, but sometimes shite happens in life, with the wrong mindset then you (in general) are allowing life to get the best of you..

but it's my opinion that if the Chimes has evidence to contradict his claims, they should come out with it, quickly.

This is a shite opinion. They'll probably see more business from people who are sick of this bullshite. Also, how on earth can they prove a customer didnt say something? The whole idea of Chimes providing evidence is so fricking stupid.

I read with a fraction of a second of initial shock seeing hate speech in your feed, then absorbing, of course this would happen there. I'm not surprised this happened in Baton Rouge, particulary at a place like Chimes. Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry they did this to you.

These are the people that are in line to run LSU.

People still donating to LSU, whether its in athletics or sports, need to have their head examined.

Sketchy story. Some baw's life is about to be ruined.

I'm confused...which way did it happen?...did they LOOK at his table....or did one of the white LSU students walk over to his table?:...

His additional tweet

Lol. This is starting to seem like a double down.

not really, no. that claim you made about some “frat stars” getting knocked out because of racial abuse towards a guitar player would happen a lot faster in Ruston than Baton Rouge

I’m sure he did absolutely nothing wrong in this situation and handled himself with class.

fair enough
