By Tha Chill-One & Young Ream on Saturday, June 13, 2009

You know, when you were little it was only one place that made your eyes light up like the Fourth of July....that's right CHUCK E. CHEESE! Well it seems like Chuck E. Cheese is losing it's touch with black folks. NewsOne reports that at an Indianapolis branch, some people from the community are suing Chuck E. for racial discrimination....

Three African-American families have filed a civil rights lawsuit accusing children’s restaurant Chuck E. Cheese’s and a former Indianapolis store manager of mistreating them because they are black.

The lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court alleges Ken McGill, who was a manager at two different stores, refused to serve them, treated them rudely or forced them to leave while allowing white families to stay.

The suit claims Irving, Texas-based CEC Entertainment Inc., which runs the chain, failed to investigate McGill’s behavior as the families requested.

The suit seeks damages of at least $500,000.

The Associated Press left a message seeking comment with CEC’s guest relations office Wednesday. McGill could not be reached for comment because there was no number under his name in published Indianapolis listings.
