The head of a book club is refusing to accept an apology from the Napa Valley Wine Train. The train's CEO apologized Tuesday morning after the women in the book club were kicked off the train over the weekend.
The incident has sparked the hashtag #LaughingWhileBlack, since most of the women in the club are African-American.
The statement says: "The Napa Valley Wine Train was 100 percent wrong in its handling of this issue. We accept full responsibility for our failures and for the chain of events that led to this regrettable treatment of our guests."

Group of black women kicked off Napa wine train after laughing too loud - The old, WE MUST BE HEARD AND SEEN NEGRO STUFF....
And as usual these loud fat ass wildebeests are claiming they were kicked off for being black...
they are partially right... THEY WERE KICK OFF FOR ACTING BLACK...
Just like everywhere you go the group of blacks have to be the loudest and most obnoxious people in the place so they can be seen and heard!
One book club member, Lisa Renee Johnson, shared a video on Facebook.
“We made it, y'all,” she said on the video Saturday morning, beaming as her friends waved in the background. “Look at us. We are getting ready to get on the wine train.”
Johnson continued to chronicle the experience through photographs and videos, showing the members of Sistahs on the Reading Edge, many wearing matching black book club T-shirts, as they clinked wine glasses and ate appetizers.
Then two hours in, the train ride turned sour for the book club from Antioch, Calif.
