A tiny bit of payback re:Texas joint that kicked out Black patrons to give table to White patrons
Make reservations. Bogus reservation. It will not change what happened but screwing with them made me feel good.

"Outrage at Michelle Wolf is About One Thing: The Dying Vestiges of White Privilege and White Power"
The white ruling class in America, currently home to the Republican party, has enjoyed almost 250 years of rule by hypocrisy.
Everyone is equal, but slavery is ok
Everyone is equal, but women can't vote
Everyone is equal, but only white people can vote
Everyone is equal, but immigrants don't have any rights
Everyone is equal, but not gays and lesbians
And today:
Everyone is equal, but you you are not allowed to point out the hypocrisy of the white ruling class
Or maybe put another way, only the white ruling class is allowed to be hypocritical.
Michelle Wolf brilliantly called out their hypocrisy. And that is a line, in their view, that must not be crossed.
So in my view, hypocrisy is Americas original sin. Being able to say "You are not allowed to do this, but I am" is the ultimate power of privilege.
While our founding document said all men are created equal, it was and continues to be treated as an almost tongue-in-cheek deceleration by the majority of white America who call the Republican Party their home.
Netanyahu is a blood thirsty dog who wants to start a War based on a lie, just like Iraq and WMD.
Right now, the biggest obstacle to peace is Netanyahu and Israel. They want a War. They are getting to close to being like Nazi Germany. If you want peace, you cannot support Netanyahu.
ATTENTION all media people from CNN, FOX and MSNBC that hover around this site...
You are either with the American people or with the deeply corrupt people currently in charge of the American government.
There is no gray area. If you do not make your position clear and obvious, people will get hurt and they will get hurt only because of you.
Just a friendly warning from someone who has been there.
Don't be afraid to say it: American evangelicalism is not compatible with American Democracy.
IF the means ALWAYS justify the ends, we are no longer America.
IF hypocrisy is demanded, we are no longer America.
IF calling out the hypocrisy of those that run our government is out of bounds, we are no longer America.
Let me explain, if you condemn your opponents for the same things you give a gigantic pass to if it is done by your side, we are no longer America. That is called tyranny, not America.
Sadly, Republicanism and in particular Christian republicanism is in my view no longer compatible with American Democracy.
Lets get real, Sarah Sanders is an embarrassment to all women
I have never seen a more evil and ugly person (both on the inside and out) than her.
Michelle Wolf was amazing at WHCD!!!!
I never knew just being truthful could be so funny. I want to be like her when I grow up.
Words that Trump and his team uses to elicit unwarranted emotional responses
Words and short phrases like
"very badly"
"unfairly"
"laughing at us"
"not fair"
"disgrace"
"lying ____" (oh the irony, yes)
"liar"
Basically what they do is ask themselves "If I was innocent, how would I respond"? And they proceed to pretend they are, pretend to be all high and mighty. Pretend they were treated badly, pretend it was unfair. It is just a con game. An ongoing con game to win by appealing to emotion, not facts or truth. Of course it is beyond laughable and very obvious, but the media hardly ever calls out their BS.
The idea of fairness and how we are treated are core American values. So they are pulling on the heart strings of people, trying to gain support by appearing innocent and without anything to hide.
And if you notice, democrats do not use this type of language consistently and as forcefully as Trump and his people do. If you go back to 2015, Trump has been using these exact words/phrases like weapons and has not stopped doing so.
Sometimes when one group or person uses certain words habitually, they become almost off limits for another group to use. Take "Crooked" for example. Undoubtedly, Trump and many people around him and in his cabinet can clearly be labeled as crooks and crooked. But have you noticed how democrats and nobody else calls them so? "Crooked" and "Crook" are now, exclusively it seems, words only used by Trump and his people/supporters.
People around Trump are all crooks for one simple reason
He only trusts other crooks and morally compromised people. They remind him of himself and that's the way he likes it.
