While failing to find factual support for racist denial, you might come across the real fact that Lee's Summit is 87+% white, 8+% black.

Maybe that could be used in speculation that, if we could only see into her mind, the manager was glad for racist reasons that city and county codes required the group be denied for size. Without evidence that that was true, that'd be slander, but hey, this IS social media. (She is white, right? Fair game for race-based character assassination?)

Fwiw, assuming racist grievance at every turn has nothing to do with commitment to equality. It's something very different. And leaping to race-based animosities is racist in itself. Of course.
