Who?

She forgot one of the most important and cherished rules of the last few years: “You RESPECK da queen when you sees her!”

Who?

[Free in Texas]

She bit a piece of the biscuit off and choked on it. Whoops.

Wow. Do I feel cheated. I just read the whole article and at the end realized that the only mention of what actually happened was all up front. Normally I don’t click on blog links. Should have stuck to that.

[Farmer Dean]

I hope that Farina learned a valuable lesson.Don’t mess with other people just because you can.

I don’t know or care of the race of either of them.

But why couldn’t she just leave things alone, none of it was hurting her personally, or anyone else.

Tynes, a Jordanian American social media strategist and writer, has potentially lost a book deal for her debut novel after her tweet sparked fierce backlash

How's that social media strategist gig working out?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Nobody deserves to lose their livelihood just for being a jerk.

METRO is very tough on passengers eating or drinking on the train or in the station, for good reasons. METRO employees should be held to the same standards.

Tynes is repulsive. An Arab who calls herself a “person of color” and writes leftist filth.

In the old days, if the woman had an issue with an employee, she’d call into the complaint line and, as post #25 says, would likely be told of the change in policy towards eating on the train. The woman would feel foolish for calling, but everyone would remain anonymous and that would be that - on with the day. Those on social media expect instant feedback, like we expect instant search results. Not always smart. Just as the folks labeling the woman ‘racist’ because her Jordanian skin tone is lighter than the employee’s weren’t the brightest bulbs in the room in their own rush to virtue-signal.
