Well It's likely coming, but it also seems to be worse in situations where whatever the controversy is was justified. This, however, should lead to the white dude getting some sort of charge. The victim was backing up when shot. Hard to see this as self-defense after he backed away. |

| _RETS_ 07/21/18 1:23:48 PM #7 | The black guy was already backing up after he pushed the guy. There was no reason, from what I see in the footage, for the White guy to do anything beyond just pulling his gun if he even had to do that. Looks like a bad shoot based on what we have to go on right now. Terrible |

Yes, I mean like those scenarios. Though I am willing to bet for every story like those you will find 5 like the one with the restaurant not letting that black (and right before her, white) lady in after closing and it blowing up like some huge race issue. And the latter stories blow up in the media and on social media way, way more than the ones you describe. I'm just not sure what your point is. Mine was simply that racist incidents have not necessarily increased, but things being misrepresented as racism without facts and the media-driven narrative that launches off of that have certainly increased. Not only are actual incidents more widely viewed and known about (even if they are not actually occurring more than any other time) because of the prevalence of cameras and 24 hour news, but now more issues are twisted into race issues because there is a clear agenda behind it. |

Fair, though I partly disagree, but I wasn't necessarily talking about people thinking his supporters are racist. More about the media driving the narrative of racism and reporting things as racist incidents without facts and letting that narrative stand even when opposing facts come to light. Like, there is absolutely no reason that "black lady not let into a store that was closed" thing should have even made local papers. But now those employees are fired because of the (social) media driven outrage based entirely on a falsehood. It isn't that overt racism has become more common, but claims of it definitely have. |

Also racial tensions are higher right now than they've been since I've been alive You don't think hoax hate crimes, baseless accusations of racism, and false media narratives of situations like Michael Brown and Antwon Rose are contributing factors? Even so, I think there is far, far more ideological tension than racial tension. Media just likes to hype the racism boogeyman because it gets clicks. |

He wasn't complaining the Colonel Sanders was able to say it with no consequences (true or not) so he should be able to as well. It was more of a "I, the founder of a restaurant, am getting back lash for speaking against a movement that involves a lot of black athletes, yet colonel sanders did/said overtly racist things like the n-word and got no back lash." Like a "I did this arguably bad thing and am in hot water but he did an obviously bad thing and nothing happened" statement. The media is definitely acting like he used it in a derogatory way though because that is what's best for their narrative, especially since he supports Trump. Apparently the guy is a shithead outside of all this controversy though, so fuck him if that's all true. And his pizza plays second fiddle to fucking LC |

| _RETS_ 07/19/18 2:29:09 PM #97 | darkjedilink posted... JE19426 posted...If it's the case I'm thinking of, they were still serving customers. If you are serving customers, you aren't closed. Restaurants often close to new customers and allow customers who are already in to finish. This is pretty much every restaurant ever. They don't have to let anyone else in after their posted closing time. And they turned away two white people before the idiot showed up. Just some moron looking for SJW brigades and media to have her back and it's working The fact that this isn't known is astounding. |
| Topic | Portland bakery fires employees after they denied service to black AFTER closing |
| _RETS_ 07/19/18 2:15:51 PM #92 | People are being incentivized to act like this. They know it will stir up a social media shit storm and leftists and the media will firmly side with them and their opponents can easily be dismissed as racist. Hell, not even opponents just people that suggest we should wait for the facts and both sides of the story before jumping into an outrage. People need to realize that, even if you are mistreated, it doesn't immediately mean it is the result of racism. A white man cutting off a black woman in traffic is just a guy being an asshole, not a product of the racist patriarchy based on the facts we know. It deligitimizes genuine cases of racism and mistreatment and loses the left a lot of ground. And it's not like they'll admit they pushed a false narrative when the facts come out. And if they do, they will still find a way to twist it into them being right. It is actual insanity. |

| _RETS_ 07/18/18 3:38:25 PM #76 | Kushinadahime posted... A lot of times companies will settle even if they know they are not at fault just because it is cheaper than fighting it. Unfortunately this creates a perverse incentive for plaintiffs to sue anybody that may or may not be tangently involved because it is almost guaranteed they will get a settlement even if their case has little to no merit as it is too costly for the defendent to fight it. Add a sob story and the court of public opinion will make the defendent pay something even if they are not at fault legally. The media is pushing this "evil corporation" narrative hard. Purposely incendiary headlines with one-word quotes from the article like "outrageous" right under the headline just to frame how the reader should feel before they read it. |

The hypothetical was posed as a gauge to determine at what point someone's past goes from "not mattering at all" to mattering when one posted made a blanket statement that his past conduct doesn't matter. So the hypothetical is posed to take that idea to the logical extreme. Does it not ever matter, no matter what? Does it begin to matter at some point? If so, what is that point? That was the point of the hypothetical, whether that was the best way to ask it or not. Not to imply the kid did anything wrong at all. But you know that and are just pretending to be stupid. Anyways, anyone gonna follow up on the post about this school having had a black valedictorian in 2016 and the subsequent explanation that this prep school has a dual graduation with a girls school? |

Should they lose, they'll only harm the people suing them. This is only pragmatic for mgm. I have no reason to side with MGM over anyone. If they can show, before a drawn out trial, that there is legal precedent protecting them against liability, then why waste the time and money going through the litigation? I don't think they are doing it BECAUSE it is in the best interest of the victims long term, but I do think it will end up having been in their best interest anyway. Now, just out of humanity and solidarity, they should be (and should have already) set up charities and initiatives for the victims. Please let me know if they haven't if you've got more info on that. Just from what I know of the event, what could they have done to prevent the massacre? What specific standard was in place that they didn't uphold that resulted in the shooting happening? |

Their countersuit is on the grounds that they met the requirements for not being liable for a mass shooting event, so this is an effort to prevent any future liability litigation for this incident, which would not only be a losing case for the victims given the legal precedent, but also cost them a lot of time and money. It seems like they are trying to avoid that case altogether by heading it off with established legal precedent. Like a pre-defense to avoid a long and drawn out (and expensive for all parties) trial. This really does seem like it is in the best interest for both parties from what little I've read about it this morning. |

I start working before you wake up and am at work when you go home for the day, and it's been like that since I was 17. Construction, retail, collegiate strength and conditioning, sales, management, now a cumulative mix of the latter three. Odd choice of ad hominem. Yes, I believe that CVS immediately sided with the outrage to avoid issues. And I don't blame them. Calling the cops on someone who refused to leave your store after following staff around isn't being a bad employee. If it wasn't for the racism hot button this wouldn't be a story and CVS wouldn't have given a shit. But let's be clear, even if the guy deserved to be fired, it is very irresponsible for the media to paint him as a racist, without evidence, especially with the weight that allegation carries these days. That is my main issue. That he is being smeared by people solely because of his and her skin color based on absolutely nothing else. Some people can be bad employees without being racists. The media/social outrage about it is my problem. If it is warranted, like the hicks bombing the mosque in Minnesota, by all means sully their name. But no one has any evidence of this guys motive, and his campaign platform pretty overtly suggests the opposite of what's being said of him to be true. CVS can do whatever they want. I don't have to agree with it. If they fear he will lose them money, bad employee or not, they've got every right to clip him and operate as a business first. But the social/media angle is a very serious issue that is becoming more and more of a problem. |

The media is trying to stir people into an outrage mob over shit like this and it is working. And you are swallowing it up because you and your type are very easily manipulated by bullshit narratives. A black lady being inconvenienced isn't proof of racism. Sorry if that shatters your reality. Even if the dude is fully guilty of groundlessly kicking her out, you have nothing at all to suggest it is on the basis of her race.
