About 3 years ago I was overseeing movers who were packing up a couple that was moving to NY. One of the movers was a very young attractive black man. He told me how he took his wife and 2 small kids to Virginia city for an outing and while sitting in a restaurant some guy wearing a red maga hat called him the N word and said he shouldn’t be in this restaurant as it was a” whites only “ one. No one else in the restaurant came to his defense and the workers said nothing. He asked for take out boxes and left the restaurant, his wife and kids were crying. He said he used to love going to Virginia city as a kid and wanted his children to experience an old western town. They got in their car and left. I was also getting teary eyed when he told me the story as I also loved going to Virginia city.

I’m glad these racists got arrested and shamed.
