Making Staff up While Black

[bluesjnr]

Georgia state Rep. Erica Thomas was left in a right old state after she blatantly ignored the 10 items or less instruction in a local store and was called out on it.

She was called a "lazy bitch" by Eric Sparkes then went on to claim he told her to "go back to where you came from." She later appeared on video visually upset.

Except he didn't and strenuously denies it. In fact the only person that was told to "go back" was Sparkes..... by Thomas!

She was on camera when;

The following day, as Thomas spoke to reporters about her claim, the accused man confronted her in front of the store while the cameras were rolling.

The man, Eric Sparkes, claimed that Thomas was using him to manipulate a political stunt and that he was in no way 'racist,' as Thomas had alleged. Sparkes, an outspoken Democrat of Cuban heritage, admitted that he did confront the pregnant lawmaker in anger after she violated the store policy of bringing too many items to the express checkout lane, but never told her to "go back" to where she came from.

Once she was outed as not only lazy but a liar she said;

"I don't know if he said 'go back,' or those types of words ... I don't know if he said 'go back to your country' or 'go back to where you came from,' but he was making those types of references is what I remember."

"So you don't remember exactly what he said?" a reporter asked Thomas.

"No, no, definitely not. But I know it was 'go back' because I know I told him to 'go back,'" the lawmaker responded.

She adamantly refuses to backtrack.

This is a lawmaker?

What a *******.

 

[TragicMonkey]

Sounds like a Not Always Right entry.

Or a "public freakout" video on YouTube if they'd gotten footage. I love those. Every retail store and restaurant should record everything, with audio, we're missing entertainment gold!

I'm puzzled. Is Eric Sparkes a figment of Georgia State Rep. Erica Thomas's imagination, or is there a typo in the thread title?

I believe the thread title is mocking the several "while black" thread titles because it shows that "black people lie so all of the 'while black' threads are just ********" type of attitude.

Usually those threads have to do with white people doing something towards black people, where in this case Sparkes is not white.

I'm assuming this is like a double whammy for the OP. Because not ONLY is this black person making something up, but it's also a democrat!

Harumph! Harumph!

Wrong dog whistle. Sparkes is the injured party here, so we're supposed to think that not only are these people lying scum, they'll also turn on their own at the least provocation.

Rogues, bureaucrats and politicians are pretty much the same thing.

Yes it's a typo - and I've just noticed it. I'm making a lot of errors in the last few days.

As far as I'm concerned you can think what you like, so don't make that accusation against me. I don't remotely suggest what you should make of the story. I've never used the phrase "their own".

You wanna know my opinion? Let me clarify it for you.

The ethnic background of the lazy, lying, entitled, racist bitch is of no consequence to me whatsoever other than to cock a snook at the many while black threads. The ethnic background of Sparkes is of absolutely no interest to me but well done for speaking up. She should be removed from her position without delay. She's a lazy, lying, entitled, racist bitch and has no place in an office of influence.

No.... just no.

Yes, true.

Harumph! Harumph!

A double whammy for me? How so? Where do I mention the persons political persuasion? Why would I, living in Scotland, give one flying **** what colour her politics are?

It's what it is on the face of it tagged on to the tiresome "while black" headline.

Yes, true.

I'm not sure why you would, but your posting history definitely indicates you lean to the right. So I would say, out of political bias perhaps?

Why would you, living in Scotland, give one flying **** about this story at all?

 

[TragicMonkey]

People exceeding the numerical limit on express checkout lanes is exceedingly reprehensible. She should be drummed out of office for that alone.

I have no interest in politics whatsoever and couldn't have told you whom she represented, as it never registered with me. It never does because it doesn't matter to me. It certainly doesn't change anything..... does it?

Bias isn't at play. She was definitely lying by her own admission, she was definitely acting entitled by her own admission and she definitely made a racist comment to Sparkes by her own admission. You think me pointing this out shows a political bias?

I am interested to note that I'm right leaning, it's not something I was particularly aware of. I assume that you think this because I think Antifa are a shower of ********* and haven't come down firmly on one side or the other about Tommy Robinson. It certainly cannot be as a result of my posting history in politics.

Why not, it's of interest. What should I be looking at?

Only if they are in front of me.

There are black people in Scotland (presumably).

I think we need more information on how many items she took through the checkout. Are we talking about one each of nine things and two of a tenth, for which the legally mandated punishment is a sideways glance and some passive-aggressive muttering, or eleven distinct and separate items, which is prima facie malfeasance in public office and warrants tarring, feathering and being run out of town on a rail?

I don't think you pointing it out shows political bias. I think the "while black" shows bias and downplays some of the events that have happened.

I don't know who Tommy Robinson is and I don't particularly care about the antifa threads. It's just the impression I get from your posting style.
