The lefties are up in arms over this, claiming "THAT'S RACIST". Yet, in their infinite wisdom, they fail to think critically about this. I'm not defending the customer's use of the slur by any means.

Red Lobster did the right thing by stepping in and teaching this moronic waitress a lesson. The mere fact that she didn't even take the time to block out the man's signature makes him a target for identity theft. If you're going to share a picture of a receipt, at least have the g*ddamned common sense to block out the signature and the company name.

If she went against company police, then fine, suspend her.

But, I don't mind that this racist has his name exposed to other people. Besides, it's hardly legible as it is.

I don't really mind either, but Red Lobster is in potential danger of a lawsuit because of it.

The waitress isn't the one who posted the photo in the first place.

She was on full pay during the suspension and is probably back to work as I type this, so it's not as if Red Lobster threw her to the lions over it. Rasict dick or not, they guy could sue the crap out of Red Lobster for having an employee of theirs putting up his personal information online. Yeah I can understand her being angry/upset over his needless comment but just think, if the receipt had a comment such as "None you ugly skank" or "None, fat bitch" her actions would not be tolarated. Just because he went with a racial slur does not suddenly justisfy what she did.

And the legal status of Red Lobster matters to you because...?

Because in America corporations mean more than people.

I`m a "lefty/lib", and while I`m no fan of the n-word, I could care less about this Red Lobster thing. It`s pointless gossip to me.

One time I asked for no jalapenos on my quesadilla (because I disliked jalapenos at that point for some dumbassed reason) at a restaurant and the receipt said "NO JAPS" on it under the quesadilla. A smarter person would have went through the necessary steps to get some kind of money out of this.

50/50 chance she didn't get a tip and wrote in the 'n*****' herself as payback.

I'm very skeptical of instances of things like this in the current climate. It seems like every time there's social justice outrage a'brewing it turns out to be a hoax perpetrated by some histrionic or unstable woman or individual.

There was the girl at a university here in the states who was "targeted" by rape threats on a public facebook page that she posted herself and then tried to parlay into a bunch of creepy, Reichstag Building Fire hysteria.

There was the recent Oberlin "incident" of some horrible racists running around campus writing the word "n*****" on things. Classes were shut down. A crying female student being interviewed claimed to have seen an individual in KKK dress. People went crazy. Turned out it was all a hoax perpetrated by liberal students. The person girded in KKK garb was a total fabrication, and others who had been with her corrected her account explaining it had been a student wrapped in a blanket. Worst of all, the whole time Oberlin was cancelling classes, holding forums and love-ins and what not, the whole time, they knew it was a hoax. They knew it was a hoax and they didn't tell the student body it was all a big lie because they wanted to drum up support among the student body for draconian social justice policies they wished to implement.

Just the other day I read about a recent case of a female doctor claiming she had been raped twice inside the hospital. It was a lie.

There have been multiple cases in the last few years I can recall of women ransacking their own homes and injuring themselves for attention from an estranged lover.


Point is, I don't really believe any of this bullshit anymore. Could have happened sure, but I'll reserve judgement thank you very much. Question everything. Social Justice and PCism is a cultural disease and one that's lapsing quickly into full blown Fascism. It's pretty disgusting stuff.

Fishmonk I notice in all these cases the perpetrators were all female. Dem bitches is crazy.  ;D

Back to the initial topic;if black people find the word 'n*****' so offensive and degrading, then why do so many of them use it amongst themselves as if it were nothing?

Thomas Sowell gave a scathing talk about social justice; if I find it I'll post it here.

Reminds me of the recent Famke Janssen "incident".   http://news.moviefone.com/2013/09/19/famke-janssen-creepy-book

You can't question the merits of social justice in general based on the behavior of a few crazy people and a series of isolated incidents.  That's just ridiculous.

Social justice is a joke.

TRBB, Perhaps you have a post about Friedrich Nietzsche on Red Lobster?   ;D

I have several thoughts about this.

- If this really happened, and the waitress wanted to post the picture.... maybe it was worth losing her job over it.  It was wrong for her to post it, but if she's willing to accept the repurcussions, that's her choice.  I've worked at jobs where it was against policy to do something, I did it, and then was punished or let go over it. 

- If you're Red Lobster, you've got to fire her over this.  I'd much rather see them treat her like everybody else and fire her ass because she's posting private info online, than see them bow down to the political correct movement and fake-act like they're outraged at the racism

- All this ultimately means is that 1 guy who ate at a Red Lobster in Tennessee is an asshole.  Why this was ever a national story is beyond me.  If it's news that there's racist people out there, people are a little more detached from reality than they should be. 

Thought #1--I don't know how the economy is in your neck of the woods, but I don't know of anyone who has the ability to jump from job to job.  I know I can't; I've got a mortgage and bills to pay.  It's also difficult to get promotions and/or raises if you can't be depended on.  If the company has policies you can't abide by, then maybe you shouldn't hire on there in the first place.  Just sayin'...

Thought #2--I agree completely.  Seems to me there are other avenues (legal and without violating company rules) she could have taken.  This could be construed as harassment and a "hate crime".  As someone else pointed out, she wasn't the one who posted the receipt, but I think the very fact that she even showed it to someone else makes her responsible.  I agree the slur was a nasty thing for somebody to do, but two wrongs don't make a right.

Thought #3--Spot on again.  When are people going to realize that we can't "fix" everybody?  I'm not saying that we should just let it go and be ok with it, but assholes are everywhere.  You can't just amplify the hate like so many people are doing and expect to resolve the problem. 

Wouldn't you know it...

Turns out she should have been fired all along, she defamed an innocent man and profited (to the tune of $10,000) from the destruction of his reputation, and now Red Lobster is being sued for what she did. She's a liar and fraud. I love how easily social justice saps are taken in by this stuff. She was never the victim, she was the victimizer.

All it takes is some moron screaming "racism" to bring out the social justice saps.

Again, it wasn't her who posted the picture on facebook to begin with.

Quite surprised the news media even bothered to cover this side to the story.
