Its time to fight back! Get involved, speak out...we are letting them walk all over us right now. We MUST get Trump re-elected in November.

It’s all one big media driven BS hype to unseat Trump.
There’s no end to how far they’ll go.

I think you'll see version 2 of move to the burbs. Why should people deal with this nonsense?

As nice as this sounds, it's hard for normal logical people to "fight back" when the response to literally everything is "muh racist".

I’m a white guy, that’s happened to me countless times.
Explanations include incompetency, forgetfulness, distraction, busyness.
Perhaps the waiter even saw that you went to the bathroom and decided to wait for you both to be at the table before approaching.
All more plausible then in downtown Houston in the theatre district a restaurant has staff that doesn’t want to serve black people.
Would you be comfortable sharing the restaurant?

I'm not experiencing any of what the news media, TV and social media are portraying. Much different here in my little bubble... wonder why???

My wife tried to order our drinks while I was in the restroom. I watched with my own eyes the waiter meet eyes with her and walk right past her without a single fake acknowledgement that she was there.
How could you have been in the restroom and see this go down?

Same waiter came and took our order from me.
He could just be sexist. He could have just been waiting until you got back. There are multiple other explanation than your wife’s blackness. Because if it was only about race, he wouldn’t have served y’all at all, right?

I'm a regular white guy.
None of this is impacting me, personally. We have made a lot of mistakes in this country, and I can understand why certain people are upset. We need to re-look how we handle certain things.
Although I am a white guy in the south, I have absolutely no allegiance to the confederacy. It's not anything to me. If I want to learn about it, I'm not going to go look at a statue. I'll go read a history book.
Further, it's become very apparent that most of the rioters are just idiots looking to steal something or watch the world burn. They aren't connected to the racial issues.

I agree that the media purposefully divides us, but not everything is about Trump. Fox News has contributed to the "division" as much as any other outlet; do you really think they want to unseat Trump? Also, Trump has been a major boon for "liberal" media outlets. With Trump in office they can flail about over every single tweet, rant, action or inaction that Trump takes. Outrage, division, strife - whatever you want to call it - sells, plain and simple.

Or he could have been racist. None of us know, certainly less than the guy that was, you know, there.
A half dozen people are white knighting for a fricking bartender at a restaurant they don't even know the name of to act like racist shite doesn't happen.
Again, to make it clear, maybe the guy was racist, maybe he wasn't, who the frick knows, but you idiots adamant declaration that there's no way he could be is retarded, but not surprising.

All bartenders at nondescript Houston-area bars matter!

So I'm being discriminated against when the bartender looks me dead in the eye and then takes the order from the big tittied blonde even though she got there after me?
Get off your fricking high horse and stop being offended by everything. Life sucks and then you die.

You know you just made the same point that the guy you responded to did, right? That there could be multiple ways to explain what happened. Are you white knighting, or just trying to claim some non-existent moral high ground?
