It wasn't cause she was black, it was because she cursed the world when she spat out the evil that is Chris Rock
Rose Rock, the mother of comedian Chris Rock, claims she was racially discriminated against when she was seated but ignored for a half hour at a Cracker Barrel restaurant along the South Carolina coast.
Rock said Tuesday she planned to sue the Lebanon, Tennessee-based company. A Cracker Barrel spokeswoman said the restaurant chain was investigating and taking the complaint "very seriously."
Cracker Barrel has in the past faced numerous lawsuits and a federal inquiry over complaints of refusing to serve black customers, discriminating against minority workers and firing gay employees. The company has taken steps to rebuild its folksy image and reach out to minorities.
Rock, who is from Georgetown, said she and her 21-year-old daughter were the only blacks at the chain's Murrells Inlet restaurant in April. She said when she asked the manager about the delay she was told they could have a free meal.
"He never called over the waitresses and asked, 'Why did these people sit here for a half hour without service?' " she said. "The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat."
Cracker Barrel spokeswoman Julie Davis said the company doesn't "tolerate any form of discrimination."

Just look at the name of the place, of course black folk shouldn't go in there.......duh.
I was told they didnt serve enchiladas when me and my wife went to the one on 35 near Eisenhower. All i did was ask where our chips and salsa were at. We left.
As a hispanic I never get discrimated by white people cause I look white.
I've been ignored at restaurants, too. If they don't get to me in 5-10 minutes we leave.
Maybe they are ignoring me cuz I'm a WASP ? ? It couldn't just be crappy service now could it ??

Damn WASPs are almost as bad as Emos.
WTF? What did they go there for?!"He never called over the waitresses and asked, 'Why did these people sit here for a half hour without service?' " she said. "The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat."
only thing good about cracker barrel is theyre one of the few places you can still find abba zabba's.... and their chicken fried steak aint that bad imo.
I like their cooked apples.
I like their strawberry pancakes. Mmmmmmmm!
I don't get it...how'd she jump to the conclusion that they weren't serving her at that particular Cracker Barrell because she was Black. Maybe they were busy? I've had to wait 20 minutes before for a waitress to come serve me at a restaurant. Also, the manager did offer her a free meal!
you want CHICKEN FRIED STEAK..... go to The Tip Top or Good Times Charlies
Im sure thats up on the resteraunt bulletin points.
Good service.
Prompt refills.
Racism.
Well it is Cracker Barrell.
