Racism is dead!

An angry Texas Jack in the Box customer said "buy you a ticket back to Mexico" to a worker after a dispute over a coupon, according to a video of the exchange.

Footage of the incident, which happened at a Houston area location of the fast-food chain, shows an unidentified man verbally blasting an employee named Maria.

According to ABC station KTRK, which obtained a copy of the video that was filmed by someone else in the restaurant, the man appears to be upset after Maria asked her manager if a coupon that he presented for a free hamburger was valid.

The man is heard speaking to another employee, saying that the female employee should "buy a ticket back to where you came from."

When the male employee, who is not identified, asks what was wrong, the customer said "she told my son no. She lied her ass off... she thought she could get away with it."

"Hey, you are going to get fired," the man is heard saying to Maria.

"Goodbye Maria. Buy you a ticket back to Mexico," he is heard saying as he walked away from the counter.

The woman who filmed the incident, whose name has not been publicly released, spoke to KTRK and told the station that she was with her 9-year-old daughter, who was afraid during the altercation.

What in the world was this...

Jacki Carroll was waiting in line to check out when it became apparent an African American woman in front of her didn't have enough money to pay for her groceries, after having already used up her WIC coupons.

Carroll offered to pay the $12 difference, but the cashier said that wasn't OK.

" said, 'I will pay,' and she said, 'No!' Very abruptly," Carroll told a KATU reporter. "Literally, she raised her voice and said, 'No, you don’t need to do that.'"

Carroll reiterated that she was more than happy to help.

"I go, 'Well I don’t mind, just let her have her stuff,'" Carroll said to the cashier, described as a white woman in her sixties. "'No! You’re not going to do that. She has WIC. She gets her free stuff.'"

Carroll says she was in awe.

She says the mom left the store with what she could afford. She was never identified.

As Carroll approached the cashier, she says her tone did not change and continued by saying, "'That’s why they have babies, so they can keep on getting all of the free stuff.'"

Carroll told the cashier that she should be more compassionate and left the store with her items.

When she got home, she called the store's manager and told him what had occurred.

Kudos to ABC, that Roseanne mess got handled quickly and appropriately.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, that's some twisted stuff from Barr. Always figured she was basically socially-liberal, libertarian type, just with the Trumpies on the economic & anti-PC stuff.

She's pretty much gotta never be allowed on TV again after that tweet though, goddamn atrocious.

This was a Roseanne episode I saw the other night.

Speaking of Roseanne, what an odd and stupid comment from her. Maybe the end for her.

Fake news. Doesn't prove racism exist at all. I'm sure they did something to get them upset. If that woman that worked in the restaraunt would have gave the customer what he wanted, he wouldn't have told her to go back to mexico. And that lady with WIC, if she would have had one more baby, then maybe she could have gotten more WIC to pay for her food. Racism died when Obama got in office.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Honestly, green lighting a Roseanne show given her history was kind of dumb.

 

[Aximili86]

Ehh, not really - wasn't it the highest-rating show among anything & everything in that timeslot since it came back?

Guess she was definitely a timebomb though. They probably should have contractually banned her from twitter and stuff before greenlighting it.

...and then this happened, so yeah, really.

Networks can't really ban entertainers from social media.

A lot of entertainers these days do have a morality clauses in their contracts that would cover racially insensitive comments. The clause means they could terminate her employment if the entertainer breaches the terms of the clause which is what likely happened to Rosanne.

Black woman’s racist tirade against Jewish man on NYC subway: https://www.google.com/amp/www.dail.../Black-woman-rants-Jewish-man-NYC-subway.html

Video has bad words bleeped so it’s safe for SHH.

At least eight people associated with white nationalist groups are running for state or federal office around the country this year, NBC News reported this week, citing data from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

The candidates, which NBC noted represent more white nationalists running than any other election in recent memory, include some who are pushing for segregating neighborhoods in their communities as part of their campaign platform.

NBC News correspondent Morgan Radford spoke with several such candidates for the report broadcast Thursday, including Arthur Jones, a former member of the American Nazi Party who is vying for a seat in Illinois’s 3rd Congressional District.

Jones told Radford he is campaigning to make neighborhoods in Chicago 90 percent white, according to NBC, while also telling the outlet he believes "the average IQ of a black person is about 20 points lower" than a white person's.

Jones added that he thought it was "ridiculous" that people believe 6 million Jews were slaughtered during the Holocaust in World War II by the Nazis.

How is that racist?

 

[Sithborg]

I'm assuming its an anti-sematic rant.

 

[DeadPresident]

You can't be racist against Jews though, for the same reason as whites, we all know Jews control the media and all economies with their sneaky Jew powers.

Has anyone heard of the story of Marcellus Williams? A man on death row for murder and has NO DNA EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER linking him to the crime?

http://miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article169490357.html

He was given a stay of execution last year at the 11th hour (Only after Governer Eric Grietens faced a firestorm of angry people on twitter) but just last week Governor Gritens denied countless requests to commute his sentence before retiring from his job.

Why this story isn't making national news headlines baffles me. There's definitely racism involved from the courts here.

But hey, Roseanne made a racist tweet. That's what all the news outlets should be talking about, right?

 

[Docker2.0]

I don't know if it's a rant or observation. It's like one of the worst kept secrets. Jews do buy a lot of property in urban areas.

Probably because his story likely isn't unique...

Really? I should get in on that

 

[terry78]

Jews and Asians. My tinfoil hat says they're in cahoots.

 

[DeadPresident]

You have to show your patented 'shifty Jew' card to the realtor before you can buy though...

I don't know if it's a rant or observation. It's like one of the worst kept secrets. Jews do buy a lot of property in urban areas.

Also - I imagine people wouldn't shout racism! if there were negative stereotypes thrown around about other races nonchalantly, right?

"I don't know if it's a rant or am observation. It's like the worst kept secret, Mexicans never like to work hard."

 

[RockSP]

I'm assuming its an anti-sematic rant.

It's always interesting/weird/funny how people haphazardly conflate race with religion.

 

[DeadPresident]

Except that awkward fact that, ya know... Jews have a distinct racial and ethnic identity...
