Cowards in thrall to a Demagogue.
I’ve said this before, I’ve been all over this country and found that the most racist areas are the North East and Upper Mid West (specifically Michigan).Detroit man settles race discrimination lawsuit, then bank won't cash his check
Detroit man had just received his settlement check from a race discrimination lawsuit. But when he went to the bank to deposit it, police were called.www.freep.com
"Racism" is just a distraction !! ) Seriously I hope you are using your vehicle as a barrier and not taking any guffI’ve said this before, I’ve been all over this country and found that the most racist areas are the North East and Upper Mid West (specifically Michigan).
Not enough details in this story to make any sort of determination on whether or not racism is at play.
If the same person finds himself in these situations multiple times in his life it is sometimes a good idea to re-evaluate one’s own behavior.
Things to keep in mind...
His lawsuit was settled. All that means for sure is that the defendants made an economic calculation that settling would be cheaper than fighting regardless of the merits.
The check cashing incident is reported on with very little in the way details. Why were the cops called? Do you really believe they were called simply because a black man wanted to cash a check? The check was for a very large sum. There are reporting requirements and questions will be asked. How were the questions handled by Mr. Sauntore?
I’ll give you an instance that recently happened to me while working (this goes to Fecal’s idea that if a POC says racism happened then is must be true)...
To do my work I sometimes have to close down dispensing operations of retail gas stations.
Without get too long winded in explaining how much of a pain in the ass that seemingly simple task can be I’ll just say that it is similar to wack-a-mole. You close one dispenser and people will drive to one you haven’t got to yet and start pumping.
I basically just play it thusly, if you got to the pump before I did then you win, pump your gas, have a nice day.
So one by one as people finish pumping I close out that nozzle (put am out of order bag on it) then tape the area off once I get all the cars out.
Last month I was doing this at a really busy large station. I had it all bagged out and was taping it off when a lady (hispanic) pulled up and asked if she could get gas. I said, “sorry no, but the station across the street is open”.
She pointed out that someone just pulled up and was pumping (I didn’t see the guy pull up and at this moment had not yet actually seen the person she was pointing to). Turns out the guy had had pulled up, removed the bag from the nozzle and started pumping.
I told the lady that I didn’t see him pull up.
She said, “you let him pump because he’s white.”
Turns out the guy was in fact white which I now know thanks to the hispanic lady informing me of this.
I just smiled at her and politely told her again that she can get gas across the street.
Now here’s the deal. She drove away absolutely certain that she was a victim of racism.
She wasn’t.
I’m pretty nice to people. There are some crazies out there. Some have guns."Racism" is just a distraction !! ) Seriously I hope you are using your vehicle as a barrier and not taking any guff
