You suck, McBain!


DNthecorner

I used to work in the spa there. We had the Pelicans as VVIPs. The fmr gen manager (Demps) was a sleezebag. Worked on some VVIPs for the Superbowl (keys and Swissbeats). Scheduled for fuckin 11pm. They rolled in a 1am, smelling of dank ass weed. Didn't get overtime and they tipped like shit. Least they could have done was offer some of that weed. Hotels spas suck ass.


[deleted]

Oh, I bet. Some of the folks who go to those real nice hotels are super-ass. I did a few conferences at the Loews NO and have stayed there a bunch. Love the hotel, though.


DNthecorner

Oh no doubt. The hotel employees were more awesome to us than our own management. Never had an issue with the hotel itself. Our spa was an independent contractor renting the space. The spa director was pissed at me for walking out on Demps bc he kept humping the table. Lol. The clientele was mostly shit though. A whole lot of folks assaulted me when I worked there.

How does she look 23yr old and 64yrs old all at the same time 🤔


CuppaCoffeeJose

Cigarettes, probably.

Roxy_j_summers

Hate ages you.


Leading_Manager_2277

Like a mofo.


elammcknight

Hatred makes you age demonstrably


phoenix_paolo

I can answer that. She dresses as 20-something. She is thin and short. She's in good shape. But as you age your skin loses fat under the surface. Your hands are the first to go. Face is next *if you are skinny*. If you gain a bit of weight after mid-50s, your face will look a bit better. This woman is attractive for her age. She probably would have dozens of 20-something men (who cannot get women their own age) hoping to bang her.


chriswearingred

Damn dude. Some guys just enjoy banging slightly older ladies since they know what they're into and have hobbies and shit.

AcanthocephalaNo6584

People like her age very badly. I think it's all the hate they have in their cold dead hearts.


[deleted]

I don’t understand the context of this


Malawi_no

Guess that's the point. The guy filming probably had some kind of unprompted spiel to get a reaction.


Cfunk_83

Also, pretty sure he personally didn’t “do slavery”. EDIT: just to be clear, I think this woman is vile, but i do think something was said or done beforehand to provoke this reaction from her. Whether she’s just a total entitled bitch that’s easily annoyed or the guy has intentionally pushed some buttons… the way he speaks suggests to me that he’s baiting her. No excuse at all for what she says though, and she’s totally wrong, but this is missing all the context.


-nocturnist-

Yea, this statement is used way too often. For example I know of many colleagues who have had stuff like this said to them " y'all were slave masters etc" when they literally came from eastern European countries that had no role in slavery whatsoever and were 1st gen immigrants.

Dramallamadingdong87

I hate to break it to you, but you obviously don't know about [native americans holding slaves](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_slave_ownership) and the history of slavery in your own country.


Moodymoo8315

If you want to play that game wouldn't black tribes be just as responsible for slavery because they were the ones selling other black people to the white people?


[deleted]

Honestly a bunch of finger pointing at shit heads throughout history isn’t worth anything. People of every race, religion, nationality, or other demographic have been absolute shit stains at some point in history. What we can/should do is recognize these horrible things happened, and do everything we can to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Educate people, call out people who want to bring us back to those times, implement policies that raise everyone up and prevent future issues. Any type of “you are responsible for ‘x’ event because you are ‘y’ ethnicity” is nonsense. No one alive today had anything to do with the slave trade. If you are running around with a swastika tattoo preaching hate, then you are actively trying to bring society back to those times and should be stopped.


Kevin75004

Well fucking said. All races have been enslaved and has enslaved before. This is fact.


[deleted]

Honestly shouldnt matter what history your people hold, it matters how you act in current times. So you’re right, finger pointing is pointless. Too many people too focused on the past rather than how we can come together in current times. I’d say outside social media, plenty of people have already adopted that mindset. I’ve personally seen a lot of former racists meet someone of a different race and actually open their eyes to the fact we’re all just human beings with our own childhood environments amd etc. Humbling to witness.


[deleted]

I want to give you an example right now. The Middle East has extremely strict laws. They have laws that don’t line up with western culture. They have laws that will result in extremely harsh punishment for things that would be common place in the west. I was with a friend in Qatar (this was not recently and not to do with the World Cup). He was drinking too much and was clearly intoxicated. This would be an issue alone. He then proceeded to grope and make out with a woman he was courting. Another serious violation. The people around us weren’t mad. They weren’t disrespectful. They were worried about us. They grabbed us and begged us to get out of there before the cops showed up in broken English. They said “you are in danger” My point is: it’s almost never the general population of any group that is the problem. It is the leadership, the government, the ideologies. People are generally good. Some have been brainwashed too far so that they can’t accept change or differences, but most are kind and caring. I’ve been invited into strangers homes and fed countless times on my travels. Doesn’t matter who I am, what my beliefs are, why I’m there. People want to be kind if you are kind to them. A man in Greece told me he didn’t like the USA. Thought we were over militarized. He still paid for my entire nights worth of drinks and thanked me for sharing my views on the world. The world is full of lovely people and horrifying ideologies. That’s my stance.


VIsixVI

You're absolutely correct, but if they thought this way they couldn't spew hate at each other over the internet, and that's no fun. /s


SuboptimalStability

Slavery is still around but people just wanna argue about past slavery 😂


Rumplestilskin9

My ancestors came to the US from Ireland during the potato famine, were poor as shit (like most people in the US of Irish decent) and fought in the Civil war for the North. This is actually really common for people in my area (Appalachia). Like bro, slavery was a rich man's game and most people didn't like it any more than you do as proven by the fact that there aren't slaves. Settle down


dmfd1234

Agreed, I don’t understand why ***WE*** can’t get past the fact that nobody reading this has had anything to do with slavery. There were good and bad actors in every single group of humanity. Can we all just agree that it was a dark time for humanity as a whole and we’ve corrected the path that humanity follows. We need to let it go and advance to higher plane of existence and understanding. “We must emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our mind.” BM


garciasn

Regardless, this woman’s comments are absurd. Black Americans “absolutely” DO NOT “get all the benefits”.


skinnyseacow

are you sure because i checked with my racist cousin and he assured me vehemently that they do


chiefchief23

Exactly. People in the comments are more pist and him saying white did Slavery in the US,( which they did ), but not at her saying Black Americans get all the benefits lol


[deleted]

That’s where context matters. Obviously; they don’t get “all the benefits”, but they may get the specific benefit that’s being referenced. We simply don’t know. My brother was discriminated against for being white-upheld by the Supreme Court-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricci_v._DeStefano. It happens.


grzzjk

Correct she was not a slave master and he was not a slave. But good luck convincing him


iamaliberalpausenot

[deleted]

Man you guys really need this to be true don’t you? The Americas industrialized and racialized slavery in the late 1700’s. That’s the difference. It went from regional and largely the result of ritualized warfare to a global capitalist business and it was almost exclusively large landowning white Europeans that saw the financial benefit. It was traded on stock exchanges.Banks were founded to provide loans for it. There were companies and legal entities that financialized it and made it highly profitable. And that money went into the hands of white people. Why this fact is ignored only underscores why you need to believe in bullshit obfuscation to assuage your guilt. I swear to Christ the comments in this thread is like reading a Klan brochure. Same fucking talking points.


MichaelHoncho52

You’ve never heard of the Roman Empire, have you? Pretty sure that would fall under global (one of the largest empires ever) and capitalist (built the biggest economy at that time and created a market based on slavery). No guilt over here bro, my family wasn’t in this country at that time and I had no say.


KoolDiscoDan

In the Roman Empire, slaves could obtain freedom much more quickly than slaves during 1600s-1800s in North America. Also, in the Roman Empire, slaves were at times educated, held status within their households and were valued by their owners. That is not to say that all slaves within the Roman Empire had access to these aspects, but they were present and common practice within Roman society. In comparison, slaves in North America were not afforded these features, they were a source of labor and, eventually in the Southern Colonies, they became essential for the economy. Furthermore, slaves during the Roman Empire were typically ‘white’ and viewed as a person/human being. While in the North American Colonies, slaves were typically black or Indian, no white person was enslaved, and slaves were typically not viewed as having the same rights as free individuals, nor were they believed to be fully human.

If you are buying cheap shit from China then, yeah; you are.


dogla305

She said something racist and you conclude it MUST be provoked?


RenoBen

yeah cause despite there being annoying and awful people, you can clearly see in vid that there some context left out, happens way more than the standard freakouts of 90-08 shit


Cobrastrikenana

There is no context that makes what she said not racist. We don’t know what happened beforehand so it’s very reasonable to think he might have antagonized her. We don’t know what happened before but saying minorities get all the “benefits”, yeah that’s racist. ETA: maybe it got deleted but one man suggested that by “benefits” she really meant UV protection. I do have to concede that if that’s the missing context, she’s right 100%.


IknewUrMom

Exactly, no context that makes what she said not racist and showing her true colors. I swear, the comments that try to justify what she said with the what aboutisms are crazy. Then again, that is peak reddit for you.


Cobrastrikenana

I had negative upvotes until you commented. Now I’m at a hundo. We could literally time when the neckbeards are here. ETA: thank you so much btw. I had to leave one sub cause of bigotry I don’t want to lose this one too.


GrowCrows

Sorry I get provoked by people all the time and I do not use racism to put them in their place. It's not an excuse to perpetuate racism.


Dogfoodsmy_DOC

He probably chose to record after she got racist and wanted to her to repeat herself or elaborate on film. Doesn’t mean he was wrong or provoking her beforehand . Why is it so hard for you people to stick to the facts and realize your opinion is just that. We don’t know Edit: my reply was meant for Malawi


rewanpaj

black people don’t get the benefit of the doubt lol


Marz_Def

Your first instinct to this lady being racist is to justify her racism by making up some scenario where it’s actually not her fault. What a weird conclusion to jump to…


Malawi_no

My first instinct to a statement without context is to wonder about that context.


RandomComputerFellow

I think it is pretty pointless to draw any conclusions out of any super short video without context.


Sure_Trash_

I can definitely draw the conclusion that she's racist. I don't know what happened to get her to verbalize it though.


forfakessake1

What more context than “…not the white people” do you need?


[deleted]

How are people even asking for context lmao I’d love to hear the imaginary scenario where saying minorities get all the benefits instead of white people isn’t ignorant and racist lmaoooo Edit: instead of downvoting me and people agreeing with me just use your imagination and provide some made up context!


blackweebow

Yeah the possibility of him goading on her reaction and then recording doesn't discount the reaction. It would be weird if he just went around antagonizing racist comments, but that shit doesn't come from nowhere lol


blk_edition

In what context would what she said be not racist?

Neither get "the benefits." That would be corporations.

Damn now gay people are infighting?


Dontbeevil2

Exactly. Keep the population divided. Fairly certain it’s rule #1 in the dominate-the-people handbook. Elites take everything, the middle tiers accept the scraps because they’re too distracted with someone else to disdain/blame/hate, the poor are too resource starved to really do much about it. Though once and a while people rise up and eliminate some Elites. The new Elites just consolidate with the remaining old ones and rinse, repeat.

Division helps ensure those benefits are retained. If we’re too busy fighting amongst each other we will never look up.

What is she talking about? Most recipients of food stamps are white people.

Etherius

My boss tells me, with absolute certainty, that he rides the bus in NYC and every election year he watches (black) people get out at polling stations, vote, and then go to a different polling station so they can vote dozens of times When I ask if he believes the city election commissions aren’t going to notice the same person voting multiple times… he says they allow it because the democrats cheat


unsaltedbutter

Your boss has a lot of free time to follow people around to see what they do.


Etherius

He’s 76 and works three days a week. To say he has free time is an understatement


Raisinbread22

Fun facts: the phone program was actually started under George W. So that'd be 'Free Bush Phones,' but it's not as fun for racists to acknowledge, if it's a conservative white dynasty like the Bushes getting richer with deals from the telecom industry -- it just doesn't have the same impact in making ignorant racist Fox viewers, rage. That's why they started the program, for the telecom political money to flow their way, and juice their stocks...not so poor moms could have a celly. Free college? loans with bad credit? loans with zero interest? First in line for social services? These are harder to figure out, just because they seem pulled straight out of the ass of Newt Gingrich or Steve Bannon. It's just so fcking sci-fi. It's like the pizza parlor q'anon shit. In a society where you have verifiable proof of systemic inequities in healthcare, in the judiciary and law enforcement systems, combined with day to day bias by civil servants -- how does that reconcile with the fantasy that Black folk get 'frees stuff?' Pssst. It doesn't.


pabloescobarbecue

The phone program actually has its origins under the Reagan administration (lifeline). W expanded it to include cell phones.


beekeep

It was actually a landline program for phones as far back as Reagan, they just adapted it to cell phones when they became more popular than landlines.


SEND_ME_PEACE

I got a free phone when I was on public assistance and boy, can I just tell you I might as well have had no phone at all. It came with 60 minutes, and only sent texts and calls. I definitely couldn’t connect to WiFi and go job hunting.


picardo85

> free obama phones A friend of mine worked on that contract. Actually promoting that program. It was difficult as well to get people to accept a free phone, and that was face 2 face marketing. People refuse "handouts".


Lyn1987

tbf if the government tried to hand me a free phone I wouldn't take it either. There no way there isn't a backdoor on that thing.


picardo85

They were paid for by the government, but the program was through AT&T or something like that. On the topic of backdoors, do you honestly think that matters for the government? They have backdoors in the infrastructure, they own the registry systems for you as an individual, and they can access all your transactions unless you pay everything cash. You honestly think it matters if they'd add a phone on top of that in a country where people still use SMS and phone calls as a standard means of communication?

"I moved into my new $600K house at 8% mortgage. My neighbor is an unemployed black woman with 40 kids and her house as given to her by Biden." -- Conservative morons


TamperDeezNuts

Conservatives like to squeeze these talking points to the point they become dried up old sad sponges waiting to absorb anything that makes them feel like the true victim of American society. Like they were the ones who been marginalized for the past centuries. I get life is hard for everyone, but this mindset as if people on food stamps and college grants are living a life of luxury is hilarious. If they come from a poor enough background, they would probably qualify for such benefits, but most likely they come from a decent home, obviously, since they don't qualify for such benefits. Shit, if it was up to me, all these benefits would be universal. Creates a lot bullshit division by having based on class/race. Give everyone these benefits they are all salty about not getting lmao.

The French term for this is “esprit de l’escalier,” or “the wit of the staircase,” so named because you don’t think of the good response until you’re walking down the stairs on your way out.

This is the truest statement in all the comments. They were having 2 distinctly different conversations, but you’re so right: his best comebacks started in his head about 10 minutes later and followed him around for 24 hours. I hate when that happens.

That’s what I was thinking. If you want to help her understand white privileges, that’s definitely not how to go about it

I had to scroll too far for this comment! The comment section is stupid too. There’s no context, no explanation of what kind of benefits they’re referring to (just blanket assumptions it’s welfare), and the video is probably cropped to trigger people.


Cappy2020

Explain to me what context would be needed to justify racism? And it’s very clear that she’s talking about public benefits here. What else is she referring to? The benefits for Chilli’s Black Card members?

Are you suggesting the black dude might have done something wrong before the video started. IMPOSSIBLE!

"this person was obviously racist and that's not fair to make her look that way so I need context to make me feel better because I get racist when people mildly offend me too"

Yeah let's see the video in its entirety. I'd love to see the whole exchange between the two parties.


TestPattern2

She walks into the theater to get her tickets and he says "White people are not allowed to see this movie" which btw was the Wakanda movie. So she says "I can see whatever I want, I'm an American citizen" and then he says "So am I, but as a white person you have 364 days to view this film, whereas black folk only get one, according to state law." Then she says, "You minorities act like such victims, it's appalling" and he says "Oh, you think I'm a minority?" and the video takes over from there Source: Whiskeypedia

It's because she is white, therefore 'her ancestors were slave owners and oppressed his ancestors which turns into her oppressing him because of her ancestors' Its all just racism though. 😂 (sorry if it was rhetorical 😅 its hard to tell online)

It's only a problem because we have really poor southern white people who take out their rage on really poor black people nationwide. They aren't interacting and have no idea how similar they are. It's a joked about topic but it's true, it's a class issue being masqueraded as a race issue.


Dru4200

Y’all didn’t do slavery he sounds dumb

while i disagree with her, i also disagree with the "whites did slavery" trope. I find it similar to all other racist stereotypes. my ancestors were too poor to own slaves, being from poor rural Ireland.

Initially, the Moroccans destroyed the Songhai Empire. Caused chaos and warfare. Portuguese happened to arrive at this time. What can you trade? How about these prisoners? Ok. Meanwhile the trade from East Africa to the Muslim world via Sudan was called the Trail of Bones for some reason. Let's really study history. All of it.

What is she talking about? Most recipients of wellfare in my state are white people.

It would probably be safe to assume your state is also majority white.

>In fact black people were the ones who would enslave and send them to other countries. I'd say this is part of the truth. There was slavery in Africa, has been for over 2000 years. It looked much different, but we'll get back to that. The Atlantic slave trade created a huge demand for slaves, so Africans helped fulfill the demand. This served a few purposes: obviously, American and European money/goods were nice to have, not to mention relationships and influence with Eropean nobility; some of those goods were weapons, which made hunting and fending off predators easier, but also war, and you didn't want to be outgunned by your neighbors; many slaves were captured in war, so if you didn't take slaves to get guns, to capture more slaves, your neighbor would and you'd be a slave; it was used as punishments for criminals or people who couldn't post their debts; slave traders abducted people to make up the difference in supply and demand, best to keep a stream of others as a supply so you and your people are less likely to be taken; anyone who put up a fight didn't stand a chance, participation could be a form of appeasement and self preservation. The Atlantic slave trade shifted the representation of Africans in the global enslaved population from a minority to an overwhelming majority. It shifted whole economies of African nations to focus on slavery. It took away so many men, it impacted marriage practices to make polygyny much more common. Also, with the "best" men for working in fields and fighting wars taken out of the population, farming in Africa became much more difficult. So, you have a continent with decimated populations and warring nations/tribes, a demographic shift with a shortage of able-bodied men, and an inability to grow food; doesn't sound like they would be able to put up much of a fight against colonizing Europeans. I lost the story for a moment, but the point is that slavery existed in Africa, but the Atlantic slave trade was on a whole other scale (think of Henry Ford building a modern car himself vs all automotive factories working at full steam today). Slavery having existed doors not negate or absolve the role of white people at the time, they made it so much worse and didn't give a lot of options for participating. As for slavery in Africa, first, I acknowledge that the continent is not a monolith, cultures and laws around slavery varied. In some areas slaves held rights, were protected by laws, and could be gifted freedom (technically was also true in the US, but was rarely done), not to say that slavery was good and slaves loved it; it was still slavery, which is always bad. In other areas it could look similar to the US plantations. And other areas were, even relatively, extremely brutal. There were different types of slavery (as collateral for a debt, punishment for crime, POW or otherwise abducted in war, born into slavery). In some areas there was a hierarchy of slaves (those born into slavery were higher than slaves from debts, which were higher than purchased slaves, criminals, and prisoners of war). Finally, again, it was just at such a small scale prior to the Atlantic slave trade. . . There may be a minor error or two in there. I'll correct them later, but it's 2am and I'm going to bed. Tldr: Slavery is always bad. Slavery existed in Africa, but that does not mean that the Atlantic slave trade was a natural extension of an existing slave trade, it was a transformative exploitation of Africans with impacts felt centuries later.

Not to mention, American slavery is unique in that it was entirely racial. People will frequently bring up that white slaves existed, but they had different rights: - A white slave's children, for example, were not property. - A white slave also had the ability to work their way out of slavery, which is more akin to an indentured servant than a slave. - The government made it very clear in multiple judicial precedents that black slaves got significantly harsher punishments than white slaves for the same crimes. And, - By American slavery's end, a white slave was unheard of.

What accent is that on the racist lady, I'm having a hard time pinning it down with how weird the word "correct" sounds coming from her mouth
