That has got to be the worst PR stunt in a long time! Forget the racial aspect for a second, this is Dominique Wilkins in Atlanta. Come on, man! Somebody didn't notice, "hey, that's 'Nique." Crazy.
How anyone in the Atlanta area doesn't know who the bleep Dominique is and can't put their stereotyping and discrimination aside for 5 minutes is a miracle.
People like dat should never be in bidness, ever. To say I would nebber eat at dat place ever again is an understatement,” Wilkins added . “To me, I hope dey shut down sometime. If dey not shut down already, dey needabe.”
@Doknot-tb9ey, it will end in ww3 when Jesus second coming will happen. Until then, So-called blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans. We are the Hebrew Israelites of whom the Bible is about and written to and none else. We must repent and keep the most high of the bible commandments and the faith of Jesus, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

My man Nique I remember he let me an a friend play in his first summer league held at Clark College at the time, we was there to watch and he came over and ask us you guys want to play, we jump at the chance we was on the court with guys like Rodman, Salley, Mark Price, Isiah Thomas, Ron Harper, Tom Hammond, Brain Oliver and a guys who was leading college basketball scorer playing at Clark dude name was Ernest Lee a baller man I miss those days I see you Nique congrats bro
Dominique Wilkins has a "larger-than-life-size" statue at Philips Arena in Atlanta just like Michael Jordan has at the United Center in Chicago but racist managers and staff didn't recognize him as a guest at their restaurant and turned him and his guest away because they were black.
dominique said it himself. he was wearing track pants and the restaurant had a dress code but he FELT that he was turned away cause of his skin color. He FELT (subjectively) that he was turned away cause he was black, he didn't THINK (objectively) that what he was wearing was the reason that he was kept out of the restaurant.
Dominique also stated that after being turned away for improper dress attire the next customer that requested a table behind him a white man had on track shorts but was seated immediately.
@@tonyoliver5537 watch it again. button down shirts, shorts, and sandals. He never mentioned track shorts. Your mind just made that up cause the tantrums didn't work.
Same thing happened to me but at a night club in Buffalo, NY. I couldn't get in the club because my pants were "too baggy" but they let two YT dudes behind me with extra baggy skater pants right on in. Blew my mind! Like, did that just really happen?!?!
That has happened to me several times in OKC! one time, a security guard just flat out told me it's not your clothes it's you! If I let you in, then I get fired, and I have mouths to feed, so sorry bro no entry for you. I just yelled out FINALLY SOMEONE IS F'N HONEST AROUND HERE AND LEFT
A one star review. If there's a bunch of reviews that are 4 and above. How many stars would be their general average review in that particular restaurant.
Actually, his basketball cards list Paris, France as his birthplace. His dad was stationed there. 'Nique lived in Dallas, Baltimore, and Washington NC where he attended HS.
Shaq was a legend from the gate. Took his team to the finals, in his rookie year I believe. He's one of the few NBA players I've ever seen that never really had a learning curve
My sister and her husband from nz visited usa and couldn't get a hotel booking over the phone. Their names are Maria and Oscar... Both white as caspar the ghost... But had no problems at front desks....

I got a nba 50th anniversary rodman jersey but it's a red cursive 80s jersey with a gold nba logo,i never seen another one,they had a ton of classic shit for the 50th i wish i had more money then lmao
It was Capital Grill. Known for its business elite crowd and strict dress code. Mr Dominque went there with his friends in a tracksuit. What do you expect?
Thank you. I guarantee you if he was dressed accordingly he would not be turned away. So how does that make any sense that it's because he's black???? The constant race card gets exhausting.
We're definitely not in the Jim Crow era. But to appease to your mentality, I'll just say that he was turned down cause he was black and the whole country is against you.
He should have sued them so it would have garnered more attention and brought this despicable incident to light with the public. This would have helped address the more systemic issue.
The people inside the restaurant must not Follow Basketball much, And came to realize they f up really bad, To now know he’s an Atlanta legend with a statue outside The Arena where the Hawks & Thrashers play…
Some restaurants have dress codes. He said it himself, he was wearing track pants and he brought up two white guys wearing button down shirts, shorts and sandals. Can you really compare track pants to button down shirts, shorts and sandals? People judge other people cause of how they dressed, that’s just how it is. Think of this guy wearing button down shirt, shorts and sandals and compare him to someone dress like they just came from the gym. Who do you think we’ll be treated better? It’s not always about race. But in the time we’re living now, to some people, it’s hard to NOT see race.
Stop it....that is an Atlanta Hawk legend....thats why.....Jordan ain't getting turned away in chicago....Malone ain't getting turned away in Utah....Bird ain't getting turned away in Boston....see where I'm going with this.. that was some BS😢
I've seen people look damn near homeless wearing a button down shirt, with shorts, and sandals. You really think DW looked broke haha?? I once had a bouncer tell me no tank tops at a popular bar in Dallas, I'm black. I said okay, I went to my car, put a jacket on, and was let in. I kid you not, 15 minutes later, a white guy is let in and he's wearing a tank top!! I bolted to the bouncer and asked how come he was let in with a tank top but I wasn't. He couldn't say what he wanted to say because CLEARLY my skin color was the only difference haha. I immediately took my jacket off and he couldn't do anything. I was cool with the bartenders, told them what happened, and that bouncer ended up being fired, as he had a habit of doing that.
@@chriskey7440 I've never thought of DW looking broke. You wrote that I didn't. We could assume that the manager of the restaurant he went to are racists but we weren't there and we can't read minds.

Hey djvlad , Atlanta is not some small town filled with country racist people. Every chance you get , you try to clown Atlanta. Except when you talk to someone from Atlanta
Let me break this down I’m from Atlanta met nique a couple times in my 42yrs I use to party in the old buckhead when they had world bar and many more clubs but after them days they started dress codes in some clubs if you black with track pants,hoodies, white tees ,pants sagging ,hat turned backward,dreads in the head ,chains on your kneck ,golds in your mouth trust me they looking at you as if you can only be a thug it’s 1000% racial profiling

There's a used to be nice restaurant in Seattle that I like to go to. For some reason, the customer base change and more urban people, you called it "hip hop black element" started coming in.

😂
He must have been in Cobb, because he for sure wasn’t in the city of Atlanta
He was in Buckhead.

😂 u bout to get somebody fired
😂😂😂😂

Naw no way……I swear that only happens in Boston right?

NBA can ever make up for that mistake. Even as a youngster I remember thinking , "how did Shaq get on this team all time team 50, he just got here?"
