The marginilization of whites in society (Dan Issel, Cracker Barrel, Toyota

[Michael2001]

I know this isn't the most PC of titles, but I couldn't think of anything better to describe what I'm going to talk about. I'm going to try and take a personal story of legal racism that happened to me, and intertwine that with the Dan Issel, Cracker Barrel, and Toyota stories.

I own and run a security firm in Virginia with three other guys. We've recently been trying to expand and were about to sign a deal with a rather large company in Richmond, this would have been huge for a firm of our size and I was already celebrating and looking for overly expensive Christmas gifts for my wife. Well it fell through, apparently the guys who were about to ink the deal with us got the message from higher ups in the company that they ought to sign with a minority firm. I can't give any details because nothing's final yet; but all signs point to the fact that we're going to lose out because we're 4 white guys competing with a firm run by Hispanics. I repeat, we're going to lose a lot of money- because we're white.

Dan Issel is the coach of the Denver Nuggets. In an altercation with a fan he called him a friggin Mexican (only he didn't say friggin). They had a guy from some Hispanic group on the O'Reilly Factor tonight. Not only does his group want Issel fired, but they want the Nuggets orginization to hire more Hispanics and do more work with Hispanic media. Now we're in a recession right now, companies aren't exactly hiring people right now. If the Nuggets cave and start to hire Hispanics, who do you think is going to be first in line to get fired?; you got it, white folk, they're going to be fired to make room for Hispanics, all so the Nuggets can say look at how diverse we are, please don't sue us.

Toyota just gave Jesse Jackson 700 million dollars so that he will not brand their corporation racist.

The Cracker Barrel is currently being sued for 100 million dollars for claims that they are racist to black customers. No proof, just the world of black customers against the word of Cracker Barrel management. I'd guess that the odds are very favorable that the black customers will win this lawsuit.

I don't want this to be miscontrued as racist, but white people are getting the shaft, in every single sense of the word. And blacks and other minorities are not going to be the better for it, it's just going to breed resentment, and it's going to spell trouble for the future of our country.

After we heard that we lost the deal because we were white, one of the guys who works with me, who's been my friend for a very long time and who I've never known to be racist said "those gosh darn Hispanic-Americans, what the heck are they doing in this country" (except he didn't use those exact words, I'll allow you to fill them in). Sentiments like those my friend uttered are misguded and wrong, but with cases like these, they are inevitable.

question-what is the amount of guards?? and are they from different groups/races etc??,or all your guards are white??

[Pern]

That's what happens when competence is replaced by political correctness. I saw the same program (No Spin Zone), and my opinion is that minorities just want a hand out. To all high and mighties out there that might say I'm racist, I'm a Cajun, which equals to a mixture of at least 5 different races/ethnic groups (that I'm aware of).

...or all your guards are white??

Does that pose a problem for you?

Not necessarily. I present to you the very item which got a Houston Denny's out of this same predicament - a surveillance camera. They have them all over the restaurant, and when they went back over their material, voila! There were the customers on the day in question, being served without delay and in a most expedient manner. Needless to say, the court case was ruled in favor of the defendent, and the plaintiffs had to pay court costs.

I'd suggest that Cracker Barrel peruse their tapes, and see what THEY can dig up. However, if they do find discriminatory behavior, then all bets are off...

I asked a friend once who was taking pre-law what was the most important factor in a litigation that she had run across.

Her answer- Document, Document, Document.

It was good advice then, and it is now.

[america76]

Good one!

There is a way!!!! At least one of you need to shange your name to a more ethnic, Hispanic, one maybe two of you this will get you in all the places you want... I know it's crazy but it works....There are many cases where name changes have been responsible for higher pay promotions, and even elections.. LOOK at GERRY RIVERS!!!!!!!!!

Make that white guys. The white females seem to get along just fine with the black guys. Racist? I see it more and more where I live.

Document, Document, Document

absolutely right

as long it's done always bearing in mind that other favorite cautionary truism lawyers are rightfully fond of invoking -- when you open your mouth or write something down, you are creating evidence

O'Reilly asks him if giving 250 thousand dollars would be enough to make amends. Flores says "Eyeeee theeenk that would be starting to go down the right track...

Would 750,000 shut him the hell up?

Look at Estevan's website...It mentions in his bio that he is a "full court" basketball player. Add to this the fact that he also wants Hispanics in the Nugget organization, and I can safely deduct that he sees this as a prime opportunity (as a basketball fan) to get a part-time (but high paying) job as the Denver Nuggets' "Diversity Director."

Every time a stupid white guy opens his his mouth:

1.) Someone is always there to tape it, and:

2.)every other white guy pays for it!

Have you never heard of the "Evil White European Male"? He gets what he deserves for all the evils he has done against non-whites in all of history throughout the world. This is a tenet of multi-culturalism.
