Molson Coors Gunman Had Noose Placed On His Locker In 2015
The Molson Coors Brewery in Milwaukee where an employee fatally shot five co-workers and himself last week has reportedly long dealt with workplace racism, including a noose placed on the gunman's locker. Olive Garden customer reportedly refused service from a 'colored' server and the manager complied During the Saturday night dinner rush, a female customer seated with a black server reportedly requested a white server instead, a demand to which managers reportedly acquiesced. "She told the person that was helping her that I'm disrespectful ... (that) I need to work at a strip club because I'm not family-friendly," said the 16 year old hostess. ------------------------- GOP: Gaslight Obstruct Project |

Hmmmm, , , , I did not really pay much attention to the beer shooting. News to me.
Otherwise, , , , one time Mrs. Dingpatch was in a "shared" room at Holmes Regional. Her roommate was an old, old, Florida Cracker. The first day I was there, a black nurse came in to "treat" the Cracker. The old bitch was not having any of it!! She screamed for someone to come and get the nigger out of the room!!! The nurse left and did not come back. BUT! The staff at the nurse's station had a good retort for the Cracker lady! They sent in another, rather large, black nurse. The Cracker screamed that she was not going to be treated by any niggers. The nurse did not miss a beat and replied "Oh honey, I'm not a nigger, I'm Puerto Rican!! I laughed my ass off. Oh and, , , , , the Cracker was very "disruptive" so they moved my wife to another room. A day-or-two later I asked one of the nurses about the Cracker, , , , it seems that her family was not too different from her and, as such, they were VERY UPSET that there weren't enough "white as Andy Warhol" staff or Doctors to tend to her needs! ------------------------- Dora Hates You Edited: 03/05/2020 at 03:21 PM by dingpatch |

So, you think this noose that he never saw has been eating at him since 2015?
"The noose was left on 51-year-old electrician Anthony Ferrill's locker in 2015. It was removed before Ferrill, who was Black, could see it, a company spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost, but he was notified about it." The story about the Olive Garden incident requires you to assume quite a bit in order for it to be racist. "During the Saturday night dinner rush, a female customer seated with a black server reportedly requested a white server instead, a demand to which managers reportedly acquiesced." The story says she requested a white server but doesn't quote the person as requesting a "white server". For all we know this patron could be a regular, and instead of requesting a "white server", she requested a specific person who happened to be white. The story said that the patron complained about the black server's attitude and basically said she sucked at her job twice. How long do you think you would need to sit at a table in order to have a chance to speak to the manager twice? If someone is going to reject a server solely because they are racist, do you think they are going to do it at the beginning of their meal or when they are halfway through it? Everyone who wants this to be evidence of racism will assume it is. Also, an old person doesn't necessarily have to hate all black people in order to use the word "colored". Based on the information given in the story, it is equally as plausible that the black waitress sucked at her job, the white woman used the word "colored" in her complaint, and that everyone automatically assumed the patron hates all black people. Anyway, believe what you want. This one seems weak to me. If you don't want to deal with angry, old, white people then why the f did you get a job at Olive Garden to begin with. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

so sniper.....are you trying to defend racism here or say that it doesn't exist?

If a white kid in an inner-city school gets called a cracker or a honkey constantly and bullied and he ends up shooting a half-dozen people at the school, are you going to try to make excuses for him? If there are details in the Olive Garden story that proves hate-fueled racism then the writer failed to include them and the timeline of the story doesn't make sense for what they are alleging happened. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

Of course, racism is still alive in the U.S. If you want me to believe it is rampant and ruining people's lives then I would probably argue that there has never been a better time to be a minority in the United States.
What happens when an interracial couple walks down the street holding hands today? Nobody cares. ------------------------- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," - George Bernard Shaw “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f—k things up.” - Barack Obama “End of quote.

"I would probably argue that there has never been a better time to be a minority in the United States."
Hear that minorities? Especially if you are a transgender person, muslim, gay (I mean Mayor Pete didn't have anything bad said about him right?)or just whatever. Y'all need to just be happy and get over it. Hell it could get worse for y'all. We could elect a racist or woman hater President and then you'd really be in trouble. |
