Then I did further research on my own on the south and found out that good old Tennessee was the birthplace of that wonderful Christian organization known as the KKK. I mention that because just the other day, in the great state of Tennessee, a young Black waitress at Red Lobster received an amazingly gracious tip from some of her wonderful customers. Christina Jenkins, a 19 year old nursing student waited on some customers and when they demanded to-go boxes, packed up their food and left. The receipt they left behind on the table for Christina, in the tip area they wrote the words "None Ni***r".
Now outside of that vile and nasty shit, what I found equally as vile was that for posting this receipt on her facebook page, Christina was suspended with pay while the restaurant figures out what actions should be taken against her. Yes, you read that correctly, Christina was suspended. Maybe it was because she posted a picture of the receipt on a social network site, or maybe it was because she added these words as a caption...
This is what I got as a tip last night… so happy to live in the proud southern states…God Bless America, land of the free and home of the low class racists of Tennessee.
I think she had every right to post the pic and make the comment, had it been me they might have had to call the police honestly. I posted this for all the Black people that claim when they use the N word they are taking the sting and the hurt out of the word. NO, you are NOT. Maybe when YOU use the word you mean it with no ill will or malice, but when white people use it towards us, all the sting and hurt is there.
I want to commend this young lady, Christina Jenkins for handling this insult in such a mature way. If her company was smart, they would reward her and promote her because obviously she knows how to handle herself in tough situations far better than the company she works for does.
That's bullshit. Ya know what...if you DON'T want people to know you're an asshole, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE. Red Lobster should actually GIVE her a standard tip for their customer's behavior and ask the customer to never patronize their establishment again. Companies are legally NOT allowed to subject their staff to abuse and harassment. They are suppose to protect their staff.
ReplyDeleteAugh.
I changed my mind. They should pay her triple the standard tip for the insult.
ReplyDeleteAnd time life books rocked. lol ;-P

ReplyDeleteShameful, but there are Racist KKK HomoNeanderthalensis still among us.
ReplyDeleteThe Red States (ex-Confederate States of America) have been the source of all this evil and pain of racism since the days of slavery. Unlike the Northern religious Puritans, the Southerners were often the descendants of a bad gene pool of convicts and murderers sent to the penal colony swamps of the Deep South by British authorities. With the advent of the Slave trade they eventually became landed gentry, but he lack of ethics morals and good DNA marked that area of the nation permanently.
The torturous genocide with which they treated the Indians, Cherokes and Seminoles in particular, and later the Africans is a living testament to their lasting brutality.
15,000 lynchings in the 100 years between 1867 & 1967 in the South says it all.
The assassination of Dr. King, a man of Peace, in Memphis was just the LAST lynching straw for most Americans of African descent.
All the depraved racists understand is force, not kindness, as they are essentially cowards.
A Coward is an anti-social person who will stab another human being in the back for their own survival, and then justify it as expediency, in this case... certified madness, justifed by the religion of the twisted, broken, burning cross of Aryan supremacy.
Sadly, Sherman had the right idea.
Ultimately, we will just have to burn the KKK Racists out if the Government will not enforce the laws of decency, morality, equality and probity that any functional society is founded upon.
Peace with Strength.
