A group of black women from a book club were kicked off a wine tour in Napa at the weekend - sparking accusations of racism on the company's part
quote:

The company said the women had been spoken to several times by the train manager after complaints from other customers that they were laughing and talking too loudly

Racist. Black women can't help it that they talk loud.

That's like kicking an Asian off because their eyes aren't round.

reading the article it seems as though they were singled out because they were black.

If she was bothering other riders, then she deserved to be kicked off. If she doesn't like the rules, she needs to buy her own damn train to ride on.

After witnessing the incident, a fellow passenger named Danielle called out the company in a review on Yelp.

'Definitely not an organization I would recommend or ever support again. I watched in disbelief as staff harassed a group of people who were merely drinking wine and laughing,' she wrote.

'I'd like to think it wasn't a racially motivated act, but given the fact that other, non-black guests were behaving in the same way and not removed, I can only conclude that it was discrimination.



Hmmmm.

alcohol may or may not have been a contributing factor to women getting loud and obnoxious

If the customers were white, then yes - of course it's racist!

"Danielle S" triggered!!!!

LULZ at her comment about "white supremacy". definitely a review to be trusted.

upvote.
