+340 It sucks when you go to a restaurant, want Coke but all they have is Pepsi, then realize you're black in 1960's Alabama and get beaten by the KKK, amirite?

is this based off an actual event or is it just something random?

I saw in some school video a thing about civil rights protests, one of them being blacks going into a restaurant, sitting down at the counter, being beaten and thrown out by whites and then more coming in, over and over again. I'm sure it has a name.

It was the freedom riders I believe. They kept coming into the restaurant as a form of protest because they weren't being served because they were black.

Being black...has nothing to do with drinking Coke or Pepsi :| Are you trying to say black people like Coke more or something?

If I wanted to say something like that, I would have used grape Koolaid instead of Coke, silly anon.

No, it was a joke. Black has no correlation to Coke or Pepsi, it is just the second part of the unfortunate event. First the don't have coke. Then you remember you're black and are about to get beaten.

I think it's kinda making fun of all these people who are making a big deal over stuff like having to drink pepsi rather than coke, and posting about it...when really theres a lotta worse stuff that could happen. like this.

If it were Alabama, there would be Coke. Welcome to the South.

Why does it have to be 1960's Alabama? Are we not supposed to still be beating black people? Oops...

Wth? A black person would be thrilled if they only had pepsi.
