Colts linebacker Darius Leonard said he and his family were kicked out of a Chipotle after being racially profiled on Thursday in Florence, South Carolina.

The CEO of Chipotle said an investigation is underway after Leonard detailed the incident in an Instagram video. The 24-year-old Leonard, who is Black, said he, three other Black men and a woman of mixed race were sitting at Chipotle eating their meals when the restaurant’s manager came up to them asking if they had a problem. Leonard said the manager claimed a white man had accused them of verbally abusing him.

I am sure the conversation was open-minded, tolerant and the biracial woman added diversity to the discussion. Yup.

“That’s what being Black in America is right now." Making millions of dollars for playing with a ball. He should try being white. No matter what is said is wrong unless to turn into a spineless coward.

They don’t throw you out of a chipotle because they feel like it.

But the manager’s already being punished.

That’s how racist America is. Not.

Somebody was acting in a totally inappropriate manner.

And I don’t believe it was the manager, who must, by now. know a lot better than that.

Who in his or her right mind is going to support these sports and their idiotic owners not to mention NASCAR, Disneyland, Hollywood, Fake News, etc. etc. etc. If people would truly adhere to their beliefs and hold on to their money we would see some kind of turn around from these reprobates.

Wray can dispatch those 15 FIBers just returned from the NASCAR hoax. They should be rested up by now after their exhaustive investigation.

I guess the manager should have brought out his shine box then everything would be ok.

Chipotle refusing to serve you their food can only be construed as a positive thing. There is no downside to that.

“That’s what being Black in America is right now."

Tell it to Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

these people need to check their micro aggressions and marginalization of others and get their privilege in check.

Woowoowoo! You hear that?! That’s the sound of Nov 4, 2020 pulling you over, people! Trump 2020

When a manager asks patrons to leave, it is usually because a group is acting out and disturbing other customers. And the same in movie theaters. Sitting in front of a raucous bunch of trash taking sh*t jabberers ruins the show for everyone.

Have to hand it to the manager who kicked him out. He’s got a pair. I admit, I would have thought about it twice, three times, maybe more.
