A Brooklyn cafeteria worker allegedly denied candy to several black children during the Halloween holiday, while he did give it to whites.
According to The root's portal, two local community leaders - Oma Holloway and Michael Catlyn - told a local blog that they were in The Strand Cafe when they saw two African-American children enter the premises to order sweets using the trick or treat formula. (mischief or sweet). The barista told them they were out of it. The little ones withdrew from the place.
Minutes later, always according to the testimony of Halloway and Catlyn, a black mother with her two children entered to ask for sweets and the manager answered them in the same way. Two others came in a little later, and this time he explained that the cafe had no candy because he was not participating in the Halloween party.
According to Holloway, the manager's attitude changed when a white mother appeared with her two children and took out a jar full of candy, with which she presented the children.
There they both got upset and complained to the barista. "You got to be kidding. Black kids come in and you don't have candy for them, but you have candy for white kids. This is unacceptable, here or anywhere, "explained Holloway who told him.
Together with his partner they left the cafe, took photographs and stood in front of the door to distribute sweets to all those children who approached.
The blog that featured this episode, King County Politics, indicated that they were able to contact those responsible for the establishment to find out their version, but received no response.
"I understand that they don't have to participate [in Halloween festivities], but to do something so overtly discriminatory, this is not acceptable," Holloway said.
The Strand Cafe is located in Bed-Stuy, a traditionally African-American area of Brooklyn to which a number of white families have moved in recent years for the lower price of homes.
