Look, I'm not saying that what he said isn't 100% true. But that's not how it works, bro. I don't know what BWW guy said but sure, it's a double standard. It sucks... but that's just the way it is.
It’s a double standard as long as we allow it to be one. It starts with public opinion, and then grows from there. As long as we ignore this double standard, we can expect it continue and worsen.

Call it straw men, call it hurtful, but you can’t call it untrue.

He took it a little too far....but it's the same shite we read on the OT everyday...so it's not surprising that other people feel the same way

The ones walking around with a pillow case instead of a Halloween basket and no costume.

I already don't give BWW my business, so I don't give a shite. I had to chase down the hostess the last two times I went there because I was sitting there at the table waiting to pay for about 30 minutes with every glass on the table bone dry and a pile of little pathetic fast food grade wings. I was about to walk out without paying. This happened not once, but TWICE. Meanwhile, Jerome and all his buddies next to us were flirting with the waitress and she was gobbling it up and laughing and flirting back and absolutely refusing to give us any kind of service. And everybody I know who has gone to BWW has a story similar to that.
But if you want to place a grade on racist remark vs offending the patriotism of this country? The racist remark would be grade A whereas the patriotic offensive remark would be B-, in my opinion. Put it this way, you can get fired immediately for making a racist remark like that (to the wrong people) if you work for a corporation. I would venture to say that Walk On's itself would fire a waiter if he said something racist to a waitress and it offended her.
Again, in his position...he cannot say shite like that on tv, radio, social media, etc. That kind of talk needs to be with friends and family.

Lol, I should have left out the self and just put awareness. I thought I did. Oops.

Was that not what he posted?

Ok, so I see there is no discussion to be had. We are to accept that some can offer their opinions without consequences, whilst others will be destroyed. Makes sense.

BS.
It’s only news because of kids being black. Yet multiple posts that have white kids are ignored including ones from business owners, and they are just as stupid. Some commenters agree, some kind of make fun of poster, some say kids are being kids and don’t post them on social media, but they don’t turn kids or a race into victims. The media doesn’t get involved. By next day there are already more posts about kids to show up in feed, and it’s all forgotten.
If it were white kids it would be a blip yet black kids make it a bigger story and seemingly because either they or their race are seen by those making it bigger as in need of being treated specially, being less capable of criticism, and in need of extra protection. I don’t agree with this racist thinking.
