Black man kicked out of yogurt shop says police and store apologies aren't enough

Here we go again. Is this really racism? Or is there more at play here?

 

There is much more at play.

Whining and a dedication to victimhood..........and a bit of greed.

 

He was a victim! Of racism!

 

He was asked to leave because he sat in the store for 30 minutes and didn't buy anything - not because he is black. This yahoo article shows the typical Yahoo lib BS, e.g., the use of the word "Victim." Yahoo runs at least one of these stories every day. I don't recall ever seeing a Yahoo story about the knockout game. Why was this man loitering? Did kid yourself libs - this guy had/has and agenda.

 

he does looks like a gangster

Oh, boo hoo.

That's a matter of opinion.

what was he doing so long wandering around in the yogurt shop that long for i think he was setting this all up
for a racist hit job

 

check this out for the media interview he changes into a a nice shirt and dump the beanie cap
no more mr bad guy looking

 

I betcha it’s been several hundred years since a white guy was told to leave. Lemme see if I can go back and find the thread.

 

It wouldn’t happen to me or my husband ....The fact that you think it is opinion itself is racist

 

but you and your husband where not looking like you where going to stealing a purse off a table their either

 

Man with face disfigured by cancer told to leave restaurant

Oh, and how many white conservatives were told to leave restsurants?

Racism. Even Thanksgiving is racist. Everything is racist.

 

Well, there WAS Sarah Sanders. She was kicked out of a Red Hen because she triggered the staff, and the left here said it was okay. So, y'know - there ya go.

 

It never is.

TFB.

 

They followed her down the road to the next place which was where the line was crossed. Refuse service is one thing to follow them then to another place is another thing.

That bit is ignored though by most of the media as it; doesn't fit their rhetoric.

 

Why not both. It seems perfectly possible that skin colour played a part in the staffs reaction to his presence. Underlying themes of racism (in all directions) do appear to run deep throughout US society after all. There also seems to be a lot being made out of a minor incident and there are clearly people jumping on the bandwagon for their own benefit (be that personal, political or financial). None of that necessarily means the initial complaint wasn’t legitimate though.

The bottom line remains that all Americans need to ask themselves why this can so easily become a thing in the first place. Why does you nation continue to struggle so much with race and what are you all going to do together to try to improve the situation?

 

How do you know?

 

If someone mistreated you would an apology be enough, or would you want to prevent this type of behavior from happening again to you or someone else?

 

I notice that you left this bit out:

So he was just doing his job as a court advocate. "Ragland, 31, is both a court-appointed special advocate and a visitation supervisor, so his job is to oversee meetings between kids and the parents who have lost custody of them."

 

This is the Story of the Century.

It needs to be pinned to the top of CE.

And I hope we see many more threads about it.

 

The fact that you think it's racist proves you are an extremist......and part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

 

Who knows........it may even happen again--to other thugs.

Some will be shot.

I predict you get your wish for many more threads.

 

Racial victimism is the new Lotto, only blacks can win and the odds are far better!

 

Eight takeways:

1. He looks like a normal guy with a jacket and hat on his head. The fact that you think he looks like a gangster is disturbing.

2. He was working. Sometimes people meet others in public places to have business meetings.

3. If you're going to spend 30 minutes at an eatery ORDER SOMETHING. The business is there to make a profit, not for your convenience.

4. I'm sure there are people of all races who try to use facilities without ordering something. Did the guys race draw more attention to him?

5. He's a veteran.

6. He left peacefully when asked.

7. He received apologies from the store owner and police.

8. Be tactful in your relations with customers. Did anyone ask the guy what he'd like to order? Did anyone say one word to him before deciding that he was "suspicious", resulting in a call to the police?
