Blacks in Missouri playing the innocent card? Give me a fucking break. Three Applebee's employees have been fired amid allegations that they racially profiled two African-American women dining at a location in Missouri over the weekend, company officials said. St. Louis resident Alexis Brison was having dinner with a friend at an Applebee's in Independence, Mo., on Saturday when their feast of buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks was interrupted by a police officer, a mall security guard and a restaurant manager. To Brison and her friend's surprise, the trio accused them of "dining and dashing" at the same location the night before. "We have not been here before. We're just trying to enjoy our dinner," Brison can be heard saying in a video of the encounter that she posted to Facebook. "This is what black people have to deal with," she added, as the officer continued to ask them questions. The video quickly went viral and had been viewed more than 2 million times as of Monday evening. "This is a clear example of RACIAL PROFILING that should not be stood for," Brison wrote in a post accompanying the video. Applebee's did not take Brison's allegations lightly. "After an internal investigation and in line with our values, the franchisee terminated the manager, server and another employee involved in the incident," the restaurant chain said in a statement Monday night. "We do not tolerate racism, bigotry or harassment of any nature." The booted employees were not identified. Their former workplace was temporarily shut down after their firings so that staff can "regroup, reflect, learn and grow from this," company officials said. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/applebee-employees- fired-profiling-black-women-article-1.3816612
