People and businesses need to start suing for defamation to shut this fake racism shite down.

Run the Jewels’ Killer Mike backed longtime activist Jay Morrison and T.I’s Houston’s protest and urged Atlanta residents to join in on the demonstration and support black-owned businesses. “Houston’s is a restaurant that is supported by the black dollar in Atlanta and supported by the entertainment dollar especially,”


Um...so he's saying they don't refuse service to black people?

Do they even think for a moment before they engage in these kind of knee-jerk protests?

No they don't. They don't think at all. If they used any common sense they'd never have a reason to protest or riot.

I have no idea what Houstons is, but I think I'd like to give them some money somehow.

Let's pretend for a minute this was actual racism. Is shutting down every houstons location a rational response?


Was this response the brainchild of a black person? If so, liberals and SJWs will be sure to let you know that it's an entirely rational response and how dare you think anything that comes from a minority may not be 100% correct and the best thought ever.

Absolutely. There is no way any waiter or waitress in Baton Rouge who works at Chimes East or TJ Ribs makes any money. Those places have been taken over.


Add Roux 61 and Parrains. Can't even go into those for the noise.

Chicken tenders ftw
This is problably 20 years ago, but I went to Houston's(i was a clueless teenager who was a picky eater) and I got chicken tenders. I remember it still to this day as the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten.

Eh, that's probably not a winning strategy. Just let it blow over.

I remember the Willie's incident was supposed to be some detrimental blow to their business, but I doubt it had any effect. Hell, if anything, their margins probably went up.

There was a Houstons on Veterans near Clearview. That place was always packed for lunch and dinner. They closed up and I no idea why..maybe the rent went up?
Houstons is good, there is something on the menu for everyone. Haven't been in years, but I remember it being a little "LOUD".

I would probably go to the Houston’s up here if it weren’t always full of uppidies and gypsies.
