How so?

The guy at CVS should be fired and dealt with. Reporting it on a national level does what? It just creates more anger and hate.

I never implied racism shouldnt be dealt with.
I stopped believing things like this were isolated incidents when a bad businessman was elected leader of a modern day superpower by running on a platform of bigotry and xenophobia

If nobody reported on it, and it didn't spread virally, how would this guy's employer know to deal with him? How would there be any pressure on them to act? This is a monstrously stupid take. Ignoring racism does nothing but appease people like you who want to stick their head in the sand.

So sick of the media reporting every little case of racism. They are making it worse by doing so.

It exists in every race. If people just wouldn't participate it would die down.

Not at all. I dont think the media should report on it. It just stirs the pot.

I didnt look at it that way so good point. My statement was based on a conversation I had with a guy.

He said the more he reads in the news it makes him hate white people more and more, so it definitely stirs the pot.

I'm not racist.

I never implied racism shouldn't be dealt with.

One thing that's important to realize. Seeing issues, and realizing your country has issues, is NOT a bad thing. That is what's happening here. Employers are seeing racist employee's, they are getting fired, the bad publicity leads to (hopefully) more screening, and it leads to more power with us, the consumers. And by seeing these issues, and realizing our country isn't perfect, it gives us a goal to work towards.

Now, if we ignore these racists, then what? I already hear some people say racism is dead, I'd probably hear more of those guys. I'm a minority in my country, if racist weren't afraid of repercussions and there actions going viral, wouldn't they attempt to be racist more often?

But not reporting this, what happens? Do you really think that in the long run there would be less hate, and less racism?

How many times have you felt racism in your daily life, have you ever been attacked for it? I know people that I'm related to who have been. I wish I had those guys on tape and I wish that went viral, why would you be against that? Verbal or physical racism is wrong, it shouldn't be ignored, it should be seen.

Just don't waste taxpayer money to try and get black people arrested for no reason. He knew he did a bad thing because he was cowering away from the camera while he did it.

We already know the answer to this. This is what White America prefers and has for decades now since the Civil Rights. Things haven't really gotten much better. Look at our current government. Most White folk like myself that I know don't think racism is that big of a problem. And they would prefer to keep on thinking that way other wise they might have to give it some thought.

Oh I'm sure if this person just reported the manager, he'd get a STERN talking to (by email, or who am I kidding he wouldn't have even gotten that). These people are held accountable ONLY because it goes viral and the company has to step in.

You can't be serious. I need a link to this.
It's in the OP

Matson is running for 48th Ward alderman. One of his campaign promises is "increased police presence throughout Alderman Matson's 48th Ward." According to his aldermanic campaign website, he was a state delegate for President Donald Trump in the 2016 election and is president of the Log Cabin Republicans of Illinois, a group advocating for LGBTQ conservatives.

I keep asking myself "Do these idiots not see the other videos of this NEVER working how they think it will?", and then I remember these racists live in a bubble where they never see these stories.

I'm sure they've seen them, they probably empathized with the racists in those videos. That just goes to show you how racist these people are. In their mind they are doing some civic duty and purifying their communities of "problem". They're literally turning into cartoon villains who think they are saving humanity from themselves.

Seriously? Is that even safe? Did it close all the way? O_O I have so many questions.

It was the kind of spiderweb break that looks like someone hit it really hard but didn't punch through it. It was safe provided nobody touched it, which is probably why they didn't bother to repair it for almost a year.

Racism has no room for logic. No room whatsoever. not to mention there are one of these every 3 days and its still happening. Its not new though. That is the tragedy.

I am just glad they are being filmed and news media takes the story seriously enough to dig into the lives of these people
it may take many more generations to get things changed but getting this shit into the light is better than ignoring it because it is an old issue

While it's up to the manager wether he accepts a coupon he's never seen before... Calling the police? Really dude?

Is that Godfrey? In 2018? Man you old

I forgot Godfrey was still around til I saw him on DJVlad a few months back.

Anyway, this story is stupid all the way around:

- A gay Republican
- A gay Trump supporter, even
- Who commits forgery
- Calls the cops on a black woman for a fuckin' coupon

I'm actually not shocked--white people love trying to get over then criminalizing ways they got over. But in this case, the woman wasn't doing anything illegal at all so we just calling the cops 'cause no black person's life has been ruined recently enough. :/

ever had a disease yourself or your close ones?

Stop the insensitive garbage everyone, we've been through this. The sole fact that he is a racist piece of shit should be the focus not the fact that he suffer from some medical condition and that being the focus of your ridicule.

It doesn't help one bit.


Has it been proven that he has a disease

If he has then I'll apologise. I assumed he was shaking due to him being scared of the "nasty black woman".

What condition does he have? Are you assuming here or are you just a racist white knight? You're the problem when you're making excuses for people like this.

Amazing.

How does he expect o hold public office when he can't deal with one black woman without shaking like a leaf.

Oh okay that makes sense. Still that'd look so trashy you'd think they'd fix it off that alone.

It really is fear that motivates these people as much as hatred. Like, this dude is quite literally shaking because a black woman has done something 1000% harmless that he deems unusual.

Unusual = possibly criminal = this polite woman in front of me is actually the black lady version of Capone and I need backup I'm hyperventilating agghsdjhfbfhhc....

They taped a paper sign on it that said "BROKEN - DO NOT OPEN" or some shit like that. It was hilarious in its cheapness.

does it need?

I'm not sure it makes all people suffering from cerebral palsy and parkinson disease in this forum really feel that reasured to read that some these comments are excused because he doesn't suffer from a medical condition. It's the sole act of launching into ignorant ridicule of someone's apperance that is never justified.

I don't give a fuck about his possible medical condition or his general well-being.
