That’s a non sequitur if I’ve ever seen one.

Don’t let Obama live rent free in your mind like that. It will make you a bad poster.

I think this is a microcosm of society. In 2018 childish behavior among adults is almost openly encouraged from the White House all the way down to the outhouse.

Excuse me sir, but Obama is a petulant child who never heard the word "No" until he was well into adult hood.

He was the ultimate enabler of panhandling and laziness this country has ever seen during his frightful 8 year reign. He single handedly made being a lazy, shiftless bum a fashionable "career" choice.

As for H. Rap Obama being "in my head", well, yes, he was and still is in a way. I would rather have a cult of personality type faux savior like Obama in my thoughts as opposed to the rest of the idiots ten years ago who were swayed by his source and charm words and who never once thought of the repercussions.

Only a fool doesn't have their enemy in his head. If you are not thinking about what your enemy is doing then you are already defeated.

You see, if more people had seen through that phony ten years ago then maybe the world wouldn't have had to suffer through his laziness and ineptitude.

However, if you would like to defend the dear leader, then you can do so on your time.

Haha. There it is. We all need a narrative man. I understand.

Listen to the call to the police, it's in the Mark Dice clip I posted earlier. The manager was as professional as humanly possible, and literally did nothing wrong.

So, no. Not everybody.

If, and that's the big question, if the place was half empty the manager could have recognized that the situation was going to spiral out of control with a public media event and just cut his losses and taken one for the team. Like I said above, I'd love to hear what happened before the video was going instead of seeing it after things obviously escalated. By all accounts, Philly has very tense race relations so something like this should have been recognized as a PR nightmare right away.

I don't buy that at all. You start governing like that (becoming "woke" and not enforcing loitering laws, solely based on the perpetrator's skin color), and that becomes a very slippery slope.

Unfortunately, that's not enough anymore.

Today you have to put on public theatrics and pound the table and close down all stores for sensitivity training.

For the most part, you aren't dealing with rational people in racial outrages like this.

Writer thinks training session is a mistake. They need to distance themselves from the action of the employee, not accept that it is part of who they are.

"...That photo, shared widely on social media, is the perfect American tableau for our demented political moment, when one guy feels entitled to yell through his bullhorn at another guy for an incident that didn’t involve either of them. In 2018 America, it’s as if just about everyone is either Khalif, absurdly overreacting to the latest news, or Zack, getting dragged into somebody else’s political controversy. At the Philadelphia protest on Monday, one man shouted to his fellow demonstrators, “What do we want?” The crowd responded, “Liberation!” “When do we want it?” he cried. “Now!” they answered. Sorry — Starbucks may be a great place to get a venti macchiato, but it’s not able to offer anyone liberation."

Exactly. Never apologize to alt-leftists.

Just look at Ingraham/hogg, they never accept the apology and now in their warped minds you've admitted you did something wrong, even though you didn't. Another good example is that "Light is sometimes better" commercial from Heineken. Obviously they meant light as in calories, but the SJWs said it was racist, and they apologized, so now they're known as the racist beer company.

I hadn't heard of the Heineken episode. Good lord, SFWs are freaking ignorant. I can of get why companies go ahead and apologize for nothing though. It's cheaper than battling stupid people.

IMO, the turning point happened in the spring of 2016 when Trump refused to apologize and grovel to Megyn Kelly.

Since then, people have followed his example.

Sure, I don't think it is wrong to be a jerk but don't feign offense where non exists. As I tell liberals all of the time:

The right to NOT be offended is a right that does not exist!

I'm not suggesting enforcing laws by law enforcement but sometimes you have to cut your losses and the manager of a restaurant has a lot of discretion on how to manage. How he's gone.

I have a completely different take on that....

if I'm responsible for managing a company, I simply ignore it.....it always goes away when there isn't anything to there other than some dipshite trying to get his 15 mins. of fame....

it's line 3 --> line 4 in my sig for everything else from a personal perspective....

"with the age of 'importance', one can only hope for humility and respect....then one realizes they are still breathing"

"if you act like a dipshite, you deserve to be treated like a dipshite."

reacting to dipshites is fun on a harmless anonymous bbs.....in the real world when 'the coin' is involved, it only makes one become a bigger dipshite by bowing to the disphites.....

that's what sjw faggoos are really good at.....they've honed that one to a 'T'

have a great day corpshite 'murica leadershites......I laugh at ya every fk'n day.....
