Finding common ground is increasingly less common in today's socially polarizing times, but that's exactly what the owners of the Shrimp Boat and the local chapter of the NAACP recently managed to do.
According to a social media post from the local chapter of the NAACP on Friday afternoon, both sides sat down earlier this week in an effort to "seek resolution." Added the post: "During the demonstration last week, NAACP and the Shrimp Boat owners agreed on a date to sit down and seek resolution for the issues that have been brought up. They have agreed to diversity training, improving their customer relations, and being more active and visible in the community.
"We look forward to rebuilding the trust between the African-American community and Shrimp Boat of Milledgeville."
The dispute dates back to Aug. 28, when local lady Shirley Young, who is African-American, posted a Facebook video about a negative experience she had at the restaurant. Young posted several follow-up videos after that, and the local chapter of the NAACP picked up her cause. In a press release from last week, the NAACP called for an Oct. 15 boycott "amid allegations of discrimination and poor customer service." Although there were no racial slurs or racialized language during her visit to the Shrimp Boat, the NAACP wrote in the press release that Young later "did receive an apology from the manager."

Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
