Black customer settles lawsuit involving racial slur

A California restaurant has settled a lawsuit filed by black businessman Mark McHenry over a credit card receipt that contained a racial slur. The Landmark Steakhouse settled for an undisclosed amount involving a receipt that listed McHenry as “McStinkyNigger” among other names. McHenry is said to have been a regular customer at the restaurant for several years.



                    McWho?

Mr. McHenry has settled his suit,
Both sides seem to confer;
The settlement’s for a steakhouse receipt
That bore an alleged racial slur.

No one is saying what the steakhouse will pay
To make it all disappear;
But if you’re real quiet and listen real close,
You may hear his attorneys’ loud cheer.
