The same people who own Fishbones also own Zins, both in Delafield. Love both eateries. Hope we can make their atrocious behavior go viral so both restaurants are financially damaged. Will never again eat at either.<br>

Thank you Suzette for sharing this with us. I will be calling Fishbones today and will pass the information along to local friends. Like Chris, I would like to have access to your friend's Facebook page so I can friend her and, with her permission, repost
the incident on my page. It's how we make this go viral. There should be economic consequences for Fishbones' deplorable behavior.

<div dir="ltr">Hi Suzette,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes this is sad news. What is this person's name on Facebook? I will ask to friend her, and then I can share her post. The above message is feeling a bit too much like hearsay, I think it would be more powerful and credible if it comes directly from
her. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, </div>
<div>Chris Kunert</div>

<div dir="auto">Hi friends. I want to share the following with you. A friend of mine who lives in Pewaukee posted this on her Facebook page today. I am copying and pasting it. Please please consider calling the management at Fishbones in Delafield and expressing
your outrage at this situation.
<div dir="auto">And please consider not patronizing this restaurant and letting them know that. Particularly if you live in Lake Country, which I'm guessing most of you do. Here is the copy of her message.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">
<div dir="auto">"People of conscience, a friend of mine who is black has shared a troubling story with me. Her son and a couple friends (one black, the other white) were dining on the patio at an area restaurant yesterday, and like many of us, they were discussing
the events of the day - George Floyd’s murder, the civil unrest we are seeing locally and across the globe, and all that goes with it. I am sad to report that they were asked to MOVE from their table to another area of the patio. Management initially pretended
the move was necessary because of an incoming reservation, but that lie was exposed when one of the young men stepped out to the parking lot and called and asked about getting a reservation on the patio. Turns out the restaurant doesn’t even take reservations
for that area; it’s first come, first served. No one else was asked to move.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">When the young men politely questioned the restaurant’s decision, the manager told them they were moved at another patron’s request and that, “Around these parts, things are just different.”</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Are you kidding me? Black people talking about racism is so problematic for white ears that it has to be banished to an area where no one will hear it? No. If anyone should have been asked to move, it should have been the white pearl clutchers.
This is a case of discrimination and marginalization of people of color and we need to let this restaurant know that their actions were unacceptable to us. I already made my phone call and believe you me, the manager (Nathan) knew exactly what I was taking
about and thanked me for calling. I hope you will consider placing a call as well, especially if you are a white resident of Lake Country. Nothing changes till we make it change. This may feel small in the overall scheme of things, but micro-aggressions lead
to aggressions, make no mistake. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">The restaurant is Fishbones in Delafield, and I will miss their Spicy Cajun Pasta and Red Beans and Rice dearly. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">262-646-4696"</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">My additional comment:</div>
<div dir="auto">I want so badly to find a way to either make this viral or stand in front of the restaurant with a sign that says "this restaurant asks people of color to move to the back of the room!" I am stunned. "Things are different in these parts"?!?
Oh. My. God.</div>
<div dir="auto">Also....any violation of civil rights here??</div>
