25 African-Americans thrown out of restaurant after a white woman complained of feeling 'threatened' [PHOTOS]

A South Carolina man and several of his friends say they were refused service at a Wild Wing Cafe in Charleston last month and asked to leave. The reason: Michael Brown and his group of 24 friends and family members are African-American, and another customer - a white woman - complained that she felt threatened by the group.

That's according to Brown, who was celebrating his cousin's last day in Charleston with a night out at the Wild Wing Cafe. Brown took his beef to social media, and the story went viral.

The apparent race-based snub came after Brown and his group waited for a table for about two hours.

'She said there's a situation where one of our customers feels threatened by your party, so she asked us not to seat you in our section, which totally alarmed all of us because we're sitting there peaceably for two hours,' Brown explained to WCSC. 'Obviously, if we were causing any conflict, we would have been ejected out of the place hours before.'

As Brown and the shift manager were talking, a member of his party began videotaping the conversation, which is when the manager became upset and refused to seat the group.
