NFL Player Says He Was Racially Profiled and Kicked Out of a Chipotle: 'We Are Tired of This


Indianapolis Colts player Darius Leonard says he was a victim of racial profiling at a Chipotle in South Carolina, detailing an incident that saw him and his party allegedly kicked out from the restaurant.

In a video posted to Instagram on Thursday, Leonard, who is Black, said he was recently eating at a Chipotle in Florence with four friends who were all non-white. When a white customer allegedly said Leonard was "verbally abusing him" and "talking trash," the party was approached by the restaurant's manager, Leonard said.
“That’s what being Black in America is right now,” Leonard said in his video. “Us not even doing anything wrong, going out to eat with your family, just trying to spend a little bit of quality time, and you can’t even enjoying eating anymore.”
"We’re talking about Black Lives Matter, for a guy to look at us and lie and laugh in our faces as we walk out, and the manager... basically kicked us out of Chipotle," Leonard said. "That’s the white privilege we’re talking about."
