Children's Nursery Rhyme Triggers Racial Discrimination Lawsuit

I know she filed a lawsuit because a young woman recited a nursery rhyme and she decided the woman didn't really say what she said - but said something else. Now she is the one who read the young woman's mind.

If that woman had to go to bed because someone recited a nursery rhyme, she either has problems no amount of money will help, and she had better stay home with no contact to the outside world or she is attempting a shakedown, or both.

Unless the article is not true, she filed a ridiculous lawsuit and she is attempting a shakedown. She is attacking a young woman.

That I know - that she told us in the lawsuit.

"You don't know her motives or intents. You can state your opinion, but you don't know (unless you're a mind reader)."

NEWS FLASH: We CAN connect two dots...

You, on the otherhand, must have graduated with high honors from the 'Baghdad-Bob' School of Investigative Reporting.

Your post doesn't make sense. I never claimed to investigate anything. You're the one who claims to know things you have no factual basis for, as if you had investigated.

At any rate, your posts don't indicate a desire to debate, just an excuse to throw around little insults which are really sorry.

We can connect two dots...Can you two connect dots? My, I'm proud of you!Har har har (laughing like Goofy) There. I'm sure that's more your level.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Good point, she is speculating on what the attendant's intentions were. But anyone speculating on the woman's reason's for filing are guessing also.

Last election year, trial lawyers gave $15,000,000 to the democratic party and $13,500 to the republicans.

The trial lawyers are very niggardly toward the pubs.

"You tell 'em girl, don't give in to their "BLACKMAIL?"" Blackmail? How insensitive of you!! Oh god... I'm having mental anguish, you racially slurred me... I'll be in bed for three days... how will I pick up my welfare check???

[nanny]

No I am not speculating. She said she was horribly injured and had to be bedridden because this person repeated a nursery rhyme, which she chose to interpret as racist?, and she feels she should be compensated from the company and ultimately the American people for it. Those are the facts she stated. That is absurd and either she is a very disturbed person or she is attempting a shakedown. She said it in her own words.

If she were just offended by what she thought this person actually meant, she might have just called the airlines an voiced her complaint. Instead, an apology is only an apology if it is accompanied by millions of dollars - and you don't call that a shakedown? You understand neither the airlines, the attendant, nor the American people did anything wrong. The wrongdoing was on the part of the person doing the suing. She is the one who made something racist of it - no one else and she wants money for that? What exactly would you call this but a shakedown?

[Pravious]

Gee. Sure hope they don't start suing the Ice Cream Man next... I mean, "Turkey In The Straw" started off as a coon song, after all.

I think what we really need in this country is that if someone files a BS lawsuit like this, THEY are responsible for all the costs - in fact, throw some punative damages at them just for being A-holes.

Then again, they might get an O.J.-type jury, who will give the person a couple of trillion dollars in damages. Hmm. So maybe the answer is just to get rid of liberals, period, so they don't appoint any more liberal judges who will allow such a thing.

[Lijahsbubbe]

The American people? She didn't accuse the American people. Do you see her as separate from the American people?

Where do you get the millions of dollars figure? More
speculation.

No matter what you claim, you don't know how she feels or what her motives are. Whether you agree with the suit or not.

"I've been real the whole thread."

What?

[nanny]

A corporation is just something created on paper - it owns nothing - the stockholders own it - that is Americans. When those people are sued and must pay for these extortion attempts then the stockholders must absorb the lose. Now the people who run these corporations for the stockholders want to keep the stockholders happy - so they charge the American public more - you see that bad old corporation is on paper - the American public pays for these shakedowns.

All I know is what the woman has done and said or what was reported. Now if the report was wrong, I stand corrected - if the report was right - she is nothing but an attempted extortionist. That I know - she has told me as such.

Now rather than just say I don't know anything about here - refute what the report said or why what she is doing is not a shakedown? Please don't keep repeating I don't know anything about her. If you do know something about her - clue me in.

You are right though, I don't remember the amount of money involved - but would you like to bet if she wins, by the time it is over - it will have cost the American public more than a millions dollars - now we are talking legal fees, court costs, etc. So yes, it was guess - but a guess based upon common knowledge.

How do you know who's on welfare where you live? Do you work for Human Services? If they're poor, how do you know they're not working poor? Have you been in everyone's house, seen their checks?

Welll, Duhhhhh again. How do you know they are Not on welfare? Do YOU work for welfare?

__Funny, on "Celebrity Mole" a few months ago, I saw a black person using this same nursery rhyme when trying to decide who the mole was. Odd. __

Yes, and information that should come out in court. I think the flight attendant should sue for the problems that have come about in her life. And they are significant and DELIBERATELY caused by the two waterbuffalos.

BTW, just TRY to make "waterbuffalo" into a racist term. Aint gonna happen!

It was in Ann Coulter's latest book, Slander. I borrowed it to read and returned it, so I couldn't give you a page no.

[auggy]

That's OK. I will have to get her book and read it myself. Thanks for the reply.
