Google "jesse jackson extortion" some time. My dislike of Jackson and Sharpton comes from their promtion of victim culture in place of personal responsibility.
Back to the original topic, :thumbsup: for hopefully teaching this person a lesson. Eating prison chow for awhile might get her to behave ethically in the future out of fear, since apparently she didn't learn honesty or ethics from her parents.
Couldn't agree with you more, Dave Simmons. I'm asian, and i'm sick and tired of seeing guys like sharpton and jackson make every black criminal into some kind of victim here. It's about time to for EVERYONE to start taking responsiblity for their actions and not hide behind their race.
The fact of the matter is racism occurs in this country, whether we like it or not. I'm sure there are a lot of African American's who were prosecuted because they were black. I just don't think that it has dawned on people like Sharpton and Jackson that turning every case like this in to some highly publicized case of "it's because he/she is black" is doing nothing but diminishing the effects of the true cases of racial prosecution.
If you tell me some black guy is pulled over at 2AM for driving 70 MPH on the freeway, okay, maybe you got a point of "it's because he's black" But how can you say this case falls in to this category? The ONLY way that may be possible is if the customer decided to pursue these charges becasue she was black. In this case, how can you prove that he wouldn't have done it if the server was white? Personally, I'd puruse the charges whether the server was black, white, red, yellow or whatever race possible.
I know this is probably a moot point, but I was never a fan of Taco Bell because their employee screening has always seem subpar to me. On the rare occasion I go there, their employees all look bored and could care less how the customer feels. Almost as if they're saying, "fvck off, you're interrupting my paid vacation time." Now this, I doubt i'll be going there any time soon.
