Why we can't have nice things reason #_____. Exhibit A: A Facebook post griping about Highball Lanes:
Just more race-baiting crap on social media. It is common for a restaurant's new ownership to change the menu. I wasn't aware ribs, tacos, quesadillas and chicken tenders were "black food." Silly me. The Facebook fools chimed in to support his grand conspiracy:
What’s crazy, this will bring more black foke down there now..we seem to migrate towards places that don’t respect us nor our black money… That tells me all l need to know!!! Impossible to exclude us. We drink and eat everything. Their drinks and menu never included all that anyway. Let me know what’s on the new menu because we need vegetables and water anyway!! Unless I’m turned away at the door, Jackson belongs to us. Fondren is Black, and a drink and menu cannot change that Well, if anybody needs a lawyer, my law office is down the street on State Street in Fondren
Compare the menus.

What it appears is new management simplified the menu and made it less bar-food oriented. However, some people seem to think eating tacos and ribs are a civil right worthy of a march.
As for the crack about Crown and Hennessy, someone posted on Facebook his drink options fro two nights ago:
As for the bit about Crown, dude should be drinking Maker's anyway.

Fondren is black? I’m not a racist but I can assure you in my neighborhood in fondren I’m not aware of more than 2-3 houses that are black
I’d love to know what neighborhoods Darion has been to? Not many if he thinks it’s a black area. lol. Wake up Darion. Your a racist at a minimum and a dummy at that
Dinner entrées include "smashburger" and " chicken on a stick"? I think I'll pass.
So ... Gunnery sergeant Hartman has taken over the kitchen?
The business owners simply don’t get it. If you want to keep the culture out, institute a dress code. No hats, no hoodies, no see thru clothing, no exposed mid section, no skin tight leggings or booty shorts, no reeking of pot. Simple as that. I go to this bowling alley, and it is really nice, but the culture invades it. Unaccompanied kids running around, loud hollering, festering in the walkways, invading personal space. It’s annoying as hell. The owners of restaurants and entertainment places don’t understand that rules are popular, and they will make more money if they piss off the culture than pissing off the people with real money and an ounce of public decency.
Some people seek to be victims! It’s exhausting
New Walkers owner is t
Running food at the whole place….what an incredible challenge! Walkers fare is awesome (as good as Derek did it) so I can’t wait to see what new guy does with these venues.
Menus are racist now? Beats all I've ever heard. Gee whiz it must be exhausting being a perpetual victim...
The last time I was in the Pearl was two years ago. It was early on a Saturday night in the fall. There were only three customers - three black people sitting at the bar. It was very quiet. We took the corner table and ordered food and drinks. The bartender, who was black, then came over and started playing music on the speaker right next to us. It was too loud for us to talk so we picked up our drinks and moved to the bowling alley restaurant where the waitress was happy to see us; the restaurant itself seemed a little chaotic. But we felt as though that bartender did not want us there and I have not been back. Music would have been great. Loud music, not so much.
