SA musician Jonathan Butler speaks out about experiencing blatant racism in the US

In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that Jonathan Butler, a South African singer, has advised people to stop sweeping racist acts under the rug. This comes after he felt racially profiled at a Goose & Gander restaurant in the United States.

Taking to Instagram, Butler claimed that after he finished eating, the manager of the eatery followed him to his car. He reminded him to pay the bill and tip the waiters, which Jonathan did. He also asserted that his experience would have been different if he had been of a different race.

Jonathan, according to TshisaLIVE, confronted the manager about the reasons why he offended him but received no proper response.
