Rapper/actor T.I. went into activism mode this past weekend, he joined protesters against Houston’s restaurant after several people accused the restaurant of discrimination.

“We’ll close Houston’s down indefinitely .  When they figure out how to treat us, they can open back up.”-T.I.

The problem seems to come from Houstons policy on refusing to seat large parties and many say the policy is only applied to African American customers.
