Woman Who Cut In Line At Walmart Could Face Prison Time In Racially Charged Incident

Woman Who Cut In Line At Walmart Could Face Prison Time In Racially Charged Incident

Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 13:42:02 in Business

“Regardless of your skin color, wait in line like everyone else. And for God's sake, don't get into the express checkout lane that clearly states "10 items or less" when you have 37 items. It happened to me the other day and when I protested the lady started screaming at me, calling me Cracker, as if I had done something wrong. Then she and her husband waiting for me in the Wal Mart Parking lot. I was smart enough to alert the in-store cop and when they say me walking to my car with the cop by my side, they jumped into their vehicle and left. There were no racist feelings on my part, it was all about the numbers. But they tried to make it a racist issue by calling me a racial slur!”

“I thought that was racist too. I was surprised that the film got made. If there had been a movie called "White Dudes" it would have been denigrated by Black folks.”

socialtalker replied on Nov 06, 2009 at 12:21:10

“why do white folks keep mentioning that movie "white girls" like its some kind of "GOTHCHA" in the conversation. but its not! lol!
WHY THE HECK DIDNT YOU GET OFFENDED. you should have! white women should have been outraged, it WAS offensive, check that the clips/previews were offensive because i didnt go see it. the wymans have sadly pretty much degraded themselves in every way possible on film. i doubt very many black people of any sense would have defended. it would have never made the theaters if white folks
had been upset. but why werent they? is it perhaps black folks do not have that historical power to denigrate and dehumanize white women? also, for some reason whites like seeing black men in drag, dave chapelle complained about this. perhaps seeing black men in drag and white face is twice more entertaining for the white audience?
anyway, the point is, you cant use an example that doesnt offend you as an answer to someone that is offended by another example. its illogical.”

coastalcarla replied on Nov 06, 2009 at 12:08:59

“True - nobody complained about the Wayans boys dressing up like white girls, or Eddie Murphy in Coming to America, pretending to be an old Jewish guy. But these kids still should have had more common sense. They're adults, for crying out loud. Not kids. This is a college, not a high school. If they had shown up in blackface at a high school event, they would have been sent home, just like the guys that came to my high school halloween dance in white sheets and hoods.”

“lol...i would have loved to see a black chics movie”

CherrySpring replied on Nov 06, 2009 at 11:13:16

“And white people cling to these two words as if it means anything. Most blacks found that film ridiculous, unfunny, and offensive (not just to whites, but also to blacks). We didn't tell whites who were offended by that to "stop playing the race card", nor did we try to diminish their feelings of anger and disgust by telling them they were "overreacting". But, hey, if it makes you feel better that two lousy, overpaid, and overexposed actors made a f00l of themselves by painting their skin white keep evoking "White Chicks" as your sole example of "white face".”

Now, let's get the hell out of Afghanistan. I had reservations about us leaving exiting this war until the story broke this week of Druglord Karzai getting paid by the CIA.

We're supporting Afghani Drug Lords and then sending in our DEA agents to fight them? Druglords support the Tali Ban and we send our Soldiers in to fight them? We are at war with ourselves!”

Father Calls Insurance Company's Decision To Drop Son's Coverage "Attempted Murder"

“This isn't attempted murder by Guardian. It's pre-meditated!”

steppenwolfsayshi replied on Oct 16, 2009 at 14:33:33

“"Attempted" means you failed during the action needed to complete the murder. Unless someone steps in, the Guardian will be successful.
His father is too kind.

The Guardian should be forced to honor the insurance policy. That's what his parents paid for for decades, probably before they ever had a sick son and what all of their other customers paid for for decades. Why wouldn't all insurers drop all classes of expensive policies?
This is absolute insanity. The insurance industry thinks that they can take our premiums but give no benefits.”

“Leave it to those tree hugging liberal readers of the Huffington Post to step in and save day, while the CEOs of major Health Insurance Companies (CIGNA, UNITED HEALTHCARE, AETNA, etc) continue to raise premiums, increase co-pays and deny coverage, all while depositing our Millions in their private bank acccounts. Finally, a healthcare story that brought a smile to my face. Thanks Huffington Readers. Another healthcare item I received today caused me to chuckle, so I'll share it with you.

Bubba Goes to the Doctor

Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said: 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Bubba what he had.
Bubba said, 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, 'Shingles..' So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, 'Shingles.' The doctor asked, 'Where?'

Bubba said, 'Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload 'em??'”
