That has nothing to do with proving to authorities that she was being racist. You actually have to prove it. Something that is hard to do.
Chipotle fucked up here plain and simple. They could've waited til more evidence surfaced and they didn't.
Also, I don't want the fucking police at my BBQ.
And when you say:
"We as a society have a long way to go before we see anything other than skin color."
It WREAKS of not understanding what it's like to be me.
Frankly, you can't CHOOSE how you see me. I CHOOSE how I want to be seen. And I want to be seen as a black man.
You get what you give remember that.
Wow, just wow.
Dude you're talking to someone who works with the community and knows that people want to be identified as they are.
Doesn't matter if it's White, Black, Green or People who have been diagnosed by a medical professional with a mental health condition.
I understand fully that Black people are proud to be black, and want to be identified as such.
That
doesn't mean I should tell you to go build a fence............................................................................
It means you're a black man and you want to be seen as such. Therefore you're seen as a black man who has just as much(
If not more as that's based on the individual) to offer as a white/yellow/green/purple man.
Just like I understand fully that people who have been diagnosed by a medical professional with a mental health condition want to be identified by that. Hell I had someone introduce them self to me today as -- 'Hi my names _____ and I'm Autistic.' She was proud to be Autistic. She didn't want special treatment.
She wanted to be identified as an Autistic and a seat at the table just like me.
Frankly she deserved it and got it. Because that's how I roll.
All people have something to offer, everyone has a different view. All views are
VALID.
Because I work in the community, while you've been coaching basketball.
I've been attending my yearly classes which reaffirm the standard I've set in the programs I run/participate in.
FWIW for college I took classes which were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more indepth than the two week classes I've got to attend for work.
I'll say it differently.
You as a black man have a lot to learn about what is wrong with the things you as a black man do.
Just like.
I as a white man have a lot to learn about what is wrong with the things as a white man I do.
I apologize for not using the proper pronoun.
However I wanted to be quick and not type out every fucking color on the planet.
Apparently I should've................................
This is something you have to know though.
I will not apologize for seeing an individual as an individual.
You might be black, but you're the individual known as Damani(sorry if I spelt it wrong).
If I got a group of black people together each and every one of them would be different and not exactly alike. Someone would have a different thought on a the same thing.
Not everyone is the same. That's why it's better to identify an individual as such.
Just like if I was put in a group of white people. I would still be the individual known as Brandon. Not all white people would see it the same.
Nobody is perfect everyone makes mistakes.
To act perfect is a perfect example of not being aware enough about yourself.
You may or may not understand the point I'm making and that's okay.
I encourage you to at the very minimum do research on the matter because I've done mine. However I encourage you to attend classes if you don't understand. As it's a very complicated thing.
No that doesn't mean attend a 3 hour workshop and think you know it all. No one does.
But it will help you.
For example. Those diagnosed by a medical professional with a mental health issue used to not want it brought up.
Now you'll see most of the time they want you to know and their identity is built on it. They're proud of it.
You're being SO disinginuous about this story.
You didn't tell it ALL and I'm wondering why....
"Someone started an
online petition to help Moran get her job back. Another started a GoFundMe page for her. The anger started shifting to the men who called Moran a racist.
At least one person even sent a
tweet to the man who posted the original video:
"Yeah thanks for f---ing over the future black people that ACTUALLY will deal with racism. For you to turn this into some sorta joke to ruin this lady's life is disgusting."
The media picked up the new narrative. It reprinted the tweets boasting of dining and dashing. It quickly ran a series of stories that seemed to vindicate Moran."
MUSLIMS helped her:
"Moran, however, didn't accept Chipotle's offer. She said strangers believed in her more than her former employer.
"They discovered the truth before my own company did," she says.
When contacted about the incident, Chipotle spokeswoman Laurie Schalow emailed CNN: "Our former manager did not accept an offer for reinstatement. We won't be commenting further on this matter."
Now
@H.C. While you're over here trippin about this story, it sounds like WE ALL learned a lesson from it, BLACK people helped her out the suspects, Chipotle offered her her job back and she said NO.
Now she's living in LA studying to sell insurance.
Tell the whole story.
You get what you give.
Remember that.
My point had nothing to do with her employer offering her job back after proof came out that the black men were being dubious.
Literally that has nothing to do with being proven guilty like she was before facts came out.
I won't let you gloss over that.
She looked
white, she was called a racist by
black men because she as the manager was attempting to make
known dine and dashers pay for their food.
She was convicted in the court of opinion, she was fired, she was harassed, she didn't want to go outside for fear of it.(even after she was proven not racist.)
Hm, having power over someone that looks white. Now that's something that we all should
add into what we look at.(Shit I did it again. Insert color of specific race for the word 'we')
There is no difference between this and having the police called on you because you're bbqing/playing ball in the street.
'White-looking person is being racist! Even though we've stolen food before why can't we get a bite!?'
'Black person is bbqing in the park, do they even know how to use a bbq?'
Both are equally fucked up and will effect
either person going forward.
Insert false equivalency here. Insert one in a million there.
At the end of the day a black man checked his own race.
Now I will say what my response should've been to your responses.
Go fuck yourself.
You're one of the few people on this forum who've met me.
You're one of the few people on this forum who I've shared certain racist things about immediate members of my family.
You're one of the even few-er who.. Know. What. I. Do. For. A. Living.
Never should you talk to me like you do certain posters on this forum who attack you for being black.
And being that you did.
I'll say it again.
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
With all this said.
You need to learn how to separate the racists on this forum who attack you daily for being black.
And those whom you know are your allies.
Until you can do that. There is nothing else to be said between us.
Have a nice life dude. Wish you, and your son the best.
