OJ Simpson kicked out of restaurant because he is black?

Inside Edition reports:
A restaurant owner refused to serve Simpson and ordered him out of his upscale steakhouse, Jeff Ruby’s.
Owner Jeff Ruby told INSIDE EDITION the sight of Simpson getting this kind of welcome in his restaurant turned his stomach.
“I asked him to leave and we immediately seated Michael Jordan at his table,” Ruby said.
Ruby said the steakhouse was crowded with diners who gave him a standing ovation for telling Simpson and his party of 12 to leave. “By the morning I had emails from across the country commending me for the convictions I had for doing the right thing,” Ruby said.
Simpson was sensationally found not guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994. He was later found civilly liable.
Ironically, Simpson used to be a Derby day regular at Jeff Ruby’s and a picture of Simpson used to hang on the wall.
Although Simpson left the restaurant quietly, his attorney Yale Galanter says Ruby hasn’t heard the last of the incident.
“He screwed with the wrong guy, he really did” Galanter said. He claimed refusing Simpson service was racially motivated, and threatened to go after Ruby’s liquor license.
I dont know, doesn’t sound like a racist thing to me, especially if they did sit Michael Jordan at his table.
