Do you remember Rosa Parks? She's back and she's kicking arse and taking names

A black woman was asked to adhere to a Georgetown restaurant’s 90-minute seating policy and subsequently claimed racism, even comparing herself to Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks.
The Federalist reported that Kristi Riggs was with some guests at Martin’s Tavern in Washington, D.C., when she was asked to comply with the restaurant’s 90-minute seating policy designed to allow more people to eat at the establishment given the District’s COVID-19 policies that still require restaurants to operate at 25% capacity.
Riggs did not take the request well, accusing two restaurant employees of racially profiling her after they asked her and her guests to vacate so more patrons could be seated. The customers waiting to be seated happened to be two white women, a fact Riggs included in her complaint, the Washington City Paper reported.
Riggs claimed that the restaurant tried to get her and her guests to leave even before their 90-minute window was over and alleged the restaurant didn’t treat a nearby table of white diners in a similar fashion. She also compared herself to Parks.
“I was Rosa Parks at Martin’s Tavern in Georgetown,” Riggs told the outlet. “I was made to get up and leave the restaurant so that two White women could have my table.”

So victimized. How can she bear it? I bet she was the only one that happened to. Next she will compare it to being shot like MLK.

Put a hood on her, she looks like she's about to hunt her daughter down and feed her an apple.

Being asked to abide by a rule you don’t like = racism.
As a wh*te person who has frequented many restaurants, I can safely say that waiting for a table is a policy that doesn’t discriminate unless you’re a celebrity. Likewise, wasting a restaurant’s time (thus, money) will result in you being asked to leave, skin color has no bearing.

So is this restaurant one of those private businesses that can refuse any patron or one of those private businesses that must serve everyone?

How dare them ask a queen to follow the restaurants rules.

Policy needs to be 90 minutes for white people, and 120 minutes for all non-whites.

Stunning and brave.

Jim Crow on Steroids...
New Rosa Parks...
Waiting on someone to claim they are Emmet Till the next time they get asked to get out of the "10 Items or Less" line at the grocery store with a full fricking buggy.

No doubt that restaurant table will someday reside in a museum to remember and honor her struggle.

Odds this is a lie?
