I just have to say this, my family came here with nothing, and now we are better off than most whites. Blacks have been here for generations and their poverty rate is still extremely high.

Some facts are undeniable. Credit ratings, welfare rolls, economic state, all from something. People are creatures of what they are taught, and ultimately habits perpetuate what is good or bad.

If what the OP said was completely true, and we're assuming it is, then these people - no matter what race were not justified. They made asses of themselves.

A bunch of teenage guys could do the same thing and it not be as stressful on his wife simply because they didn't pull the race card - as a white person at a job, if you're accused of being racist, especially after this Imus thing, it could be pretty stressful.

mb not racist but definitely hypocritical. i can guarantee you that both you and classy would have had ENTIRELY different perspective on this incident if it had happened to a black woman.

but the fact that classy condones such racism from the black women in the story, yes it does make him a racist.


Hey ass, where did I once say what these women did was right. Sh1t I wasn't there and guess what neither was you. And you know what let me shout to the fvckin hills, I AM MARRIED TO A WHITE PERSON AND HAVE BEEN FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND SHE GAVE BIRTH TO MY LITTLE ONE. MY BEST FRIEND IS WHITE. I could care less what color a person is, but here to be frank, is nothing but a bunch whiny ass punks who get their rocks off trashing black people. So excuse me if I stick up for us. And plat you can blow me, :p



hahahahahhahah "MY BEST FRIEND IS WHITE" sorry classy.

but if any white guy sadi "my best friend is black" when being called racist all hell breaks loose. becuase its usually a racists trying to prove he is not LOL.


Dude quite frankly I could care less what you you think. I defend blacks here, because I am black and the only race trashed on a regular basis here is black people. I posted what I posted because the proof is in the pudding. I don't see any of you clan members here professing to be married to any other race. To be honest the white men on this board are weak. A bunch of weak sorry ass losers who can't cut it in real life so you unload your venom here. You clowns find any excuse you can, because your too weak to say the trash in real life cause you know you'll get owned. LOL :laugh: And let me say this c-wiz seems like a good guy and I have never had a problem with dude and don't now. But come on, your wife getting a little verbal roasting is hardly a reason to dwell on attacking black people.Golly gee, come on guys, can't we all just get along Golly maybe we should round'em all up :D hehehehehehehe

Actually, she gets young men in there all the time getting drunk and making asses out of themselves. That does not bother her, beyond a simple annoyance. Later on, if she's had that kind of day, we usually talk, then laugh about it. :)
She is not the type of person who is combative in any way toward people. She's a very soft spoken, polite woman, who is compassionate and gentle in all her dealings. She always has a great attitude. This incident uprooted her emotions, which is very rare to see in her, so I knew it must have been a major deal for her.

She understands that there are hazards like this, but these women were over the top. You don't see that there often. She generally has thick skin, so I was surprized to see her that rattled. It must have been bad.

Sounds like she needs to get laid :) :)

Another couple came to proper area to be seated, so my wife went ahead and seated them. When she returned, these women came up to her, got in her face and said that they did not get waited on because they were black. They also accused her of talking about them with the other couple, in Chinese. Well, my wife is not Chinese, but Filipino. The other couple may have been Chinese, but my wife said they were speaking english.

Anyway, these women continue in her face, being loud as hell, calling her a dumb g00k, and saying that they want her fired. Finally a supervisor hears the commotion, and comes out. She asks what the problem is? The ladies continue going off about my wife, demanding that she be fired and demanding free food for their supposed inconvenience. They continued to be loud and disrepectful, so the supervisor called security and had them removed. The review of the video recordings later confirmed my wife's side of the story.

WTF? She came home totally stressed out. :|

This is absolutely true, especially the part about dealing with jerks in food service. I worked at McDonald's for years and by far the worst customers were Vietnamese. Second were white women, especially if they had kids.

I see no need to dwell on the fact that the persons who upset the OP's wife were black. Like Classy said, there is scum in every race.
Except for the fact that the women in question played the race card. That is different than just bitching about being jumped in line while waiting to be seated. And the fact that they did it makes it very relevant to the story.

And yes, there is scum in every race, but you don't hear about multiple hundreds of incidents of Asians, Mexicans, Canadians or even Arabs playing the race card.

Sure, she played the race card. So what? What is your point? That one particular woman of a particular race is a POS? Thanks for pointing that out. Can we move along now?

It doesn't do anyone any good to make these generalizations about other people. I've seen nothing in this thread but a bunch of whining and hatred.

Latinos can do it, but imho they have a much more valid reason to. Discimination/prejudice against Mexicans is basically accepted in this country.

latinos are more than just mexicans,my wife would kick you in the face if you said that to her. She's fron Panama and no way would she accepy being called a mexican

If you're going to speak for all people of any race, at least say something intelligent.

You're missing the point that non-Klansmen in this thread are attempting to make. The problem isn't black people, or these two particular scummy women even. The problem is that in this country the race card has been wildly overused, AND with black people especially, it simply carries a lot more weight than with other minorities. You don't hear about other minorities doing it in ridiculous situations like this because frankly it probably wouldn't work.

We need to find a happy medium between the mid 20th century when black people were getting universally crapped on and no one cared, and today where some black people (and whitey himself, let's not forget.) are screaming "racism" at every single oppurtunity. And if there is no oppurtunity, making one up for a free lunch.
