If you told me a restaurant in baton rouge was only going to be frequented by whites, I'd go.

Hell that would probably be the ONLY restaurant I'd go to from now on.

Fat Gary is an Al Sharpton wanna be. Sadly, the ignorant and uneducated are rallying behind him. He cares nothing about the people, and cares only about his false narrative of a political "career". What a joke

Wish would stand up and try and fix the issues within his community or show an interest which is a huge part of why that demographic is being "held down" in his words. The black on black killings and violence. The drug dealing. You've got to heal internally in order to start taking on external issues.

It was my intention to let law enforcement conduct their interviews and gather their facts before making a public statement.

Now that the Sheriff's department has issued their report - which does not find one single witness that corroborates the original allegation - I can finally defend my actions and my record as a judge.

Probably mentioned, but this is smart. Remain silent until you see what they have on you. Better yet, pretend you had to remain silent until the investigation was complete.

If they have no evidence on you, issue a strong denial.

If they got your arse on tape or several credible witnesses call you on it, announce that you are going into rehab to address a serious medical issue and that you and your family pray for privacy during this difficult time. By the time you resurface, things will have cooled off.

I have no idea what happened here, but it is a good PR lesson for those of us who occasionally get drunk and/or do stupid shite.

It is a negative stereotype. Slight hijack but this is something that gets to me in this day in age. Too many people revert to using the word "racist" when they really mean "prejudiced" or "stereotypical" just because it carries the most weight to it and inflicts the most damage on those labeled with it.

---

No, I absolutely agree. That's why I included the caveat "how the word is usually interpreted today." It's been bastardized and mangled beyond all recognition, tbh. Makes it difficult to ascertain where folks are coming from sometimes because word/phrase etymology is shot to hell

I'm not trying to call you out personally. I've read your posts and find you to be very rational.

Appreciate it And I'm not one to go around looking to play the race card or call folks racists or anything. Massively unproductive in the long run.

Has he made any comments about Troy Brown's history of domestic violence against black women? How he likes to beat on not only his wife but his girlfriend also.

I didn't think so...

Fark board did some awesome work while I was away

Would it be fair to say I see this as more stereotyping than racism?

Nah stereotyping sounds boring. Racism is what fires people up.

I think me and you would get along. We seem to share the same humor. I like laughing at people. Let's see if you can nail the typical image that pops into someone's head when they think of the following things...
Good at math
Extremely loud in restaurant settings
Hunting fishing and riding four wheelers
Skirts and button up shirts
Child predators
Barbershops
Makeup videos
People doing stupid and dangerous, yet funny things
People messing with dangerous animals
Terrorist
