re: Walkon's franchise owner has issued apology for racist Halloween FB post

Let’s be clear, there’s a difference between “culcha” and black people. I know and work with and associate with plenty of decent hardworking black people who are just trying to make a living and instill decent values in their kids.

You trying to say that Crystal Methany with 6 kids from different daddies in the trailer park is the same as decent hardworking white people too?

There’s trash of every stripe. And pointing out their trashiness and its negative impact on society does not equal the kind of virulent racism so many want it to.


We all live in a society and make observations based on what we experience.

That sounds delicious Brandon

Or, just shut the frick up and keep your opinions to yourself so you don't risk alienating any potential patrons. Why run that risk, especially on such a useless social media post?

Did you not read my post? I said it was stupid and a bad decision.

But the overreaction to it is ridiculous as well

This thread has been a GRU goldmine

If they fired him because they think this act showed a complete lack of judgement to where they lost confidence in his ability to do his job, that is completely understandable

And I just don’t think that one stupid rant defines someone’s entire business philosophy or competence.


If we knew the private thoughts of every business owner or manager (which may or may not be valid based on their experiences) and decided that anything that violated the PC cancel culture of the day made them unfit to run a business, you probably wouldn’t have many successful businesses.


Best practice is just to stay off social media for anything non-business related.

And to be clear, I don’t care about this dude one way or the other, but I hate to see working people get screwed right before the holidays

He screwed himself

Yep. He has no one to blame but himself. He’s a thirtysomething-year-old person. How could he not know that there would be public reactions. It’s not like he was some 70-year-old geezer raised in the Jim Crow era on Facebook and all of his Facebook friends were of similar age and upbringing.

Allen said he, too, has experienced discrimination at one of Hargrave's businesses. While in law school in the 1990s, Allen said he tried to go to another bar Hargrave was affiliated with called Poets. "I got to the door and I was told I had to have a collar on my shirt," Allen said. "And I asked about another guy without a collar on his shirt, and they got mad at me and told me to get off the property."

Krishnamoorthy said he later spoke with a friend who worked as a bouncer for the bar that told him there's an "unspoken quota" among City Bar employees for how many minorities, especially African-Americans, are allowed into the bar on any given night.

Then dude was part owner.

Yes. The advocate reported they are transitioning someone else into his position

Facebook and Twitter have gotten more people fired than incompetence. Think before you tweet, morons.
