EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say [W:323]

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

Are the scum among white people products of their white leadership or is that just a black thing to you?

Also, what happened to personal accountability? Why so much emphasis on President Obama and whomever else you're blaming and so little on the people who actually intimidated the Cheesecake guest?

Good question... the difference between Blacks and Whites, is one is a monolithic group, has been so for decades, and betrays traits found by their public leaders.

Kanye West did a great service revealing how monolithic and oppressive that group is towards their own... their own possessing different thoughts, and willing to express them.

Blaming the guest???? For what??? Wearing a hat celebrating the President of the United States?

ROTFLOL!!!
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

Is 'man up' your way of saying let's do something stupid so we can get penalized? Y'all know what it is I'm saying anyway.
Penalized?

You won’t get penalized for expressing your opinion, unless it’s framed as a personal attack.

So, don’t do it that way.

Have at it... I’d like to hear it.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

How about at least little integrity?? You know just as well as a I do that there have been numerous instances of liberals using threats to silence voices they disagree recently. Don't try to pretend that this issue is only about one highly specific instance. Crowding around someone and verbally abusing them because of their ideas is an attempt to keep them from sharing those ideas. It's either that or they just like being jerks. This is what REAL bullying looks like and you are now firmly in the camp of those who are willing to ignore the problem because you quietly agree with what they did, but can't openly say it because that would be supporting this kind of verbal abuse and that's just not OK for liberal.

You haven't said how these waiters were trying to silence voices. Can you articulate that, and stop the hyperbole?

"Bullying"? Sounds so snowflakey. People didn't like his hat. Woopie doo. If this is the worst problem he has in life, he has an easy life.

I don't "agree" with what they did. I don't care about what they did. Sticks and stones. Did you cry this much when Donald Trump verbally assaulted people? If you don't, I can't recall it.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

being 'smart' about certain things does not imply bigotry

So, KNOWING that you can't loiter in most businesses and ask to use their bathroom without making a purchase should have been evident to the two black men in Philly last week?
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

At some point this idiocy, fomented by the likes of Sharpton, Farrakhan, Wright, Jackson, Obama, Holder & Co. will pass... and America will be better for it.

It's going to take some time for the wounds created by these people to heal.
Good post.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

Because he is wearing the banner of a man that they believe to be causing them great harm.

Lower unemployment, greater economic opportunities... yeah Trump's just been terrible for black people so far...

Good post.

I’ve lived in some former Communist countries, and will be relocating to one for tax purposes.

The damage done to the structures and infra is easy to repair. What has been done to the brains by the Communists will take a century to expunge. I thought it would take a generation or two... I was seriously wrong.

This will be similar to how long it will take until opinions are accepted from both sides of the aisle by Blacks. The current ideology is deeply entrenched, has almost total compliance, and will not be easily given up by Democrats.

Not even Communists had near total compliance, as proven by the mass of jokes they risked telling one another.

But Trump has made a start... accomplishing a big crack in that group would be huge and positive.

The hat is a political symbol. If you're allowed to display your political affiliation we're allowed to protest that by calling you a moron for wearing it. If you don't want to be called an idiot for your political positions don't brandish them in public.

The Cheesecake Factory says it has suspended workers involved in an incident in which a black customer reportedly was subjected to verbal abuse by restaurant staff over his "Make America Great Again" cap.

Eugenior Joseph, 22, was dining with his girlfriend's family at a Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Miami on Sunday, when his red MAGA hat was spotted by a female staff member, according to the Daily Wire, which first reported the incident. After the woman encouraged her co-workers to confront Joseph, about a dozen Cheesecake employees surrounded his table, multiple witnesses told the conservative news site.

So are you gonna protest the CCF for suspending these workers?
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

IF the story is accurate, shame on the cheesecake factory for tolerating such unprofessional behavior by its staff

the MAGA hat is provocative. so is my own RESIST shirt. and the fans in atlanta and philly are not taken with my hornets/panthers jerseys at their home games - especially in the rare event that my team prevails. don't like it, suck it. but i recognize that my attire can incite some rude comments. gotta be able to take that if i am going to wear provocative attire. that's part of the game

had the comments been made by cheesecake factory customers, the MAGA hat wearer is on his own. but comments and other inappropriate behavior can never be OK from the staff of the public enterprise

that said, i would welcome an opportunity to hear the story from the staff, itself. when only one half of the version is heard, it tends to be a bit distorted. take the following instance. the NAACP should be ashamed for refusing to admonish the minister/NAACP official who lied about the cop - once the facts were evident:
NAACP president in SC says he was racially profiled; body cam video shows otherwise | WPDE

You're not a conservative either.

She's more conservative than you or Donald Trump.

Good post.

ROFL, coming from a group of people who support a president who's entire political career, and presidency, has been centered around race and racial divisions. A man who made himself politically relevant because he decided to push a bogus conspiracy theory that the first black president was a foreign born muslim with a fake birth certificate. Yeah, give me a break. The only "wounds" have been created by Trump, his supporters, and his enablers in the GOP that looked the other way while Trump race baited his way all the way to the presidency.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

He's talking about a growing liberal culture that thinks that it's OK to verbally abuse people for thinking differently than they do. But you know this, so why are acting like you don't??

Heh, you guys have verbally attacked NeverTrump GOP politicians and voters worse than anything I've ever seen. You even have Trump fanatics on this forum wishing McCain would die soon because he DARES to criticize Donald Trump. And let's not forget all the vicious attacks you guys constantly spew on Democrats...including from your own president.

The GOP today is a prime example of a herd mentality. And anyone who dares to leave the herd or criticize the leader of the herd is met with vitriol.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

Well it didn't take too long to segue from a deplorable act of group intimidation to the precipice to practically civil war. Don't know of any 'group' that feels
entitled to use violence (except police) but one can easily charge Americans as a rule, feel that way.

The irony is how if the group of people had done this to somebody with a Hillary hat, Trump would pay their legal fees.
And NO, people these days will not kill you for bumping their car in an auto accident.

I never said that.
THIS is what I said...C&P is my friend.
...from my post number 5...(attention to detail is a good thing to have)

These days people will kill you for merely bumping their vehicle with your car door on accident.

A guy tried just that when I was visiting friends.
Just because YOU did not have that experience, does not mean it did not happen to others.
...and it was not a car wreck, all i did was hit his truck door with mine.
evidently that all it took the trigger the SOB.

I was in her van with a heavier door than I was used to and it got away from me in the parking lot of a Dollar General.
The door smacked into this guy's truck and he came out with a pistol in-hand making death threats.
Not pointed at me, but it was in his hand.
...and he had no trigger control as his finger was in the trigger guard, not sticking out like trained people do.

I used my verbal skills to diffuse the situation, but I could tell had I said the wrong thing.....

Please do not have the audacity to tell me what my own personal experiences are.

Oh.

"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you?" Trump said, drawing cheers and laughter. "Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise. They won't be so much, because the courts agree with us too — what's going on in this country."

He's become a good president in spite of his personality flaws and bluster but you raise a valid point.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

They could have asked him what possessed him to wear the hat, instead of acting like goons.

They might have learned something.
No, we already know everything that pieces of garbage like Trump have to say. Unlike you, we're actually informed about things.

PS. A couple things come across in your posts; you’re intolerant

I'm smart enough to recognize evil when I see it. Nobody should ever tolerate Evil.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

Comparing a swastika to a Trump #MAGA hat, are we?

Yup. Give it time. Your children and grandchildren will understand.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

The man is not responsible for the brain dead idiots he encounters in his life.

I hope each and every employee that participated in this will be fired.

This is a much worse case than the two trespassers that were removed.

This was a group ganging up on a customer for no reason at all.

They very obviously had a reason. A bad reason, but a reason.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

So are you gonna protest the CCF for suspending these workers?

Nope. That would be their choice as the owners of the business. The question is about whether what the workers did was legal, not whether it was against company policy.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

She's more conservative than you or Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is not a conservative but does honor some conservative tenets of the Republican party. Tres or whatever she calls herself is not more conservative than me but thanks for driving by and offering me the ride, but no thanks. :cool:

A conservative would probably not be inclined to vote for John Kasich. I point you to the primaries and JohnKasichontheissues.org. Or try reading a conservative's pov on Kasich.
Why John Kasich is not a conservative - Freedom's Defenders
Governor John Kasich is simply not a conservative, constitutional stalwart. He isn’t. Let us recognize him for who he is: another John McCain, Lindsey Graham, or Mitt Romney

A conservative might be inclined to support Trump to make a bold statement about the status quo do nothing, business as usual career Republican and Democratic deadbeats occupying seats they don't really deserve. IMO, that's what the Trump movement is about.

You are obviously confused... EMPLOYEES do not have the right to harass, taunt, make racial slurs toward any patron of a dining establishment because they refuse to tolerate the patron's hat.
I hope he sues the pants off of this particular restaurant.
There are limits to freedom of speech for employees. Geeze, are you really this naive?

The employees can absolutely say whatever they want. They don't lose their civil rights when they go to work. Now, they were idiots and the employer can do whatever it wants to them, but they cannot be arrested or sued.

Self identified "conservatives" supported Trump less than they did so called "RINO's" McCain and Romney during their presidential bids.

And Kasich is wayyyyy more conservative than Donald Trump. Difference between Kasich and Trump, is Kasich is a moderate conservative who sticks firm to his beliefs. Trump's a flip flopping fraud who only became a "conservative" a few years ago when he figured he could dupe angry GOP voters into voting for him by pushing birther conspiracy theories, and telling them he'd build a wall and ban Muslims. And guess what? It worked.
 
Re: EXCLUSIVE: Cheesecake Factory Employees Attack Black Man For Wearing MAGA Hat, Witnesses Say

I am sure the man didn't think the hat would antagonize anybody.

Nobody with a brain gets upset about a hat somebody else wears.

In case you haven't heard, a MAGA hat is as bad as a Klan hood in plenty of places. If he thought he wasn't going to antagonize anyone, he's as dumb as the people who threatened him.
