Ft. Worth Sonic Fires Server For Receipt Calling Customers “Mexican” And “N***a”

When are restaurant workers going to stop doing this stupid ish … It’s not funny and it almost always results in unemployment. According to Fox 4 reports : Tyrone Moseley says he stopped a local Sonic Drive-in with his coworker for lunch on Friday. He says they ordered on the patio where they usually take his name. But this time, they didn’t. After they finished their meal, Tyrone says he noticed his friend’s receipt that said, “Mexican.” When he checked his receipt, it said a variation of the n-word. “One of the workers, she came outside. I asked her and said, ‘Do you know anything about this? Is this how y’all put the name of your customers on your receipt?’ She was like, ‘Ugh… no.’ But then she kind of giggled and just walked off and kept going,” he explained. Moseley said the carhop responsible for the slurs is also black. “I try not to use that word, and I know where it comes from,” he said. “It kind of bothers me for your own kind to call you that. Especially at a place of business. Especially where I spend my money at.” SMH… Do you find it more or less insulting that the person responsible was black? The restaurant is doing damage control by firing the server and promising to provide training to make sure employees know this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Sonic sent the following statement to FOX 4: “We understand that a carhop wrote an offensive word on one customer’s receipt and a different offensive word on another customer’s receipt. The franchisees who own and operate this drive-in consider such behavior to be completely unacceptable. They have already investigated the matter and report that the carhop is no longer employed by the drive-in.” What would you do if it happened to you?

What A Time: Republican Talking Head Glenn Beck Says Conservatives Need To Understand What Black Lives Matter Truly Means

Glenn Beck Urges Conservatives To Understand Black Lives Matter Looks like the devil may be enjoying a fresh snow cone in hell right now, because notoriously bigoted GOP talking head Glenn Beck has just says he actually understands where the Black Lives Matter movement is coming from, and why Black folks get upset about silly little things like being shot dead over minor traffic violations … Via Washington Post : “You can’t be as universally disliked as I am, and not do some soul-searching,” said Beck at a news conference before his speech in Denver. “Well, unless you’re Donald Trump.” Among Beck’s revelations was that the Black Lives Matter movement had a point. Beck, like many conservatives, had criticized the movement as racist and exclusionary. He had led a march in Birmingham, Ala., on the theme of “All Lives Matter.” His news site, The Blaze, had written dutifully about well-meaning people who said “All Lives Matter” and were hounded by the politically correct mob. But since the police shootings in Dallas, where his programs are recorded, Beck had come to view “Black Lives Matter” differently. “All of us are sitting around a table, and we’re all friends,” he said. “It’s time for dessert, and everybody gets pie except for me and you. And you say, ‘I didn’t get any pie.’ Everybody at the table looks at you and says ‘I know. All pie matters.’ You say, ‘but I don’t have any pie! What about my pie?’” Beck’s point was that white Americans simply did not understand what black people had been saying about police in America. The “leaders” of the movement, he said, were “communists and anti-capitalists” whom he could never agree with. “But they’re not the people walking behind them in the street,” he said. “We’re all speaking different languages and we need to talk to each other.” Is it possible that this man was ACTUALLY able to get such a simple concept through his impossibly thick skull?? We guess at some point even the loudest, rowdiest bigots have to see common sense from time to time…

Memph it now celebrating the test results and not so subtly taunting his accuser. “Liar, liar, skirt on fire,” said Memph on IG.

Ahmed Mohamed’s Father Files Civil Rights Lawsuit Against School Following “Clock Bomb” Arrest

The Father Of “Clock Bomber” Ahmed Mohamed Files Civil Rights Lawsuit Against School According to a report in the NYDailyNews , the “clock boy” Ahmed Mohamed and his family have filed a federal lawsuit (in addition to the $15 million suit previously filed) against the Irving Independent School District for violating the teen’s civil rights when he was arrested at school last year… The father of the Texas Muslim teen arrested after bringing his homemade clock to school last year filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Monday. The suit on behalf of 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed accuses the Irving Independent School District of “a clear pattern of discrimination based upon race as well as discrimination based upon religion.” The lawsuit also names Ahmed’s former high school principal and the city of Irving as defendants following his September 2015 arrest and three-day suspension. “I got a lot of hate. And I got a lot of support in the beginning but then again it’s the hate that sticks because some of it is so damaging. I get death threats. What did I ever do to someone to get death threats?” Ahmed said at a press conference, according to KTVT-TV. He and his family moved to Qatar following the arrest and subsequent outcry, but they came back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the summer. We can only imagine what type of hateful things these Duck Dynasty-esque rednecks are hurling at Admed and his family. The suit cites records of disciplinary actions that showed racial disparities in the district and feelings of isolation and alienation among black students. A recent profanity-laced voicemail left for an Irving Muslim civil rights organization also displayed “a long and ugly history of race struggles” in the district, according to the lawsuit. “Will we be faithful to our American principles of equality and freedom or will we let fear and hate prevail, the two biggest evils that will defeat our democracy?” the suit said. “History tells us that when we have stood tall and proud for equality and freedom, we have grown as a nation. When we have given in to fear and hate, we flounder.” If left to Donald Trump, not only would this case be thrown out, the Mohameds would probably be thrown out with it. We hope they win the money AND the federal lawsuit against the school. Image via Instagram

17 Most Shocking Bachelor(ette) Finales: Where Does JoJo’s Rank?

Chris Harrison hilariously tell us at the end of every season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette that this is going to be epic. We're about to see the most shocking, most dramatic, emotional finale ever, he tells us. But which finales truly stand out most? Sometimes, it's the season finale with a surprising winner. Sometimes, it's a little extra drama or an epic meltdown. And sometimes (cough, Brad) there's no proposal at all. Well, we've decided to take a look back and rank the 17 most shocking finales from both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette . Where do we place last night's The Bachelorette season finale , in which JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers got engaged ? Which was the most insane in BACHELOR HISTORY? Check them out and see if you remember these – we're sure you do, if you're reading this – and if you agree with our rankings! 17. The Bachelorette Season 8: Emily Maynard Emily wanted to be considerate of Arie’s feelings on the finale of The Bachelorette Season 8, so once her mind was made up about Jef, she sent Arie home before they made it to the rose ceremony. 16. The Bachelor Season 4: Bob Guiney It’s kind of amazing how often a finale on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette ends without a proposal. In Bob Guiney’s case, he offered a promise ring to his chosen lady instead. They broke up a few months later. 15. The Bachelorette Season 6: Ali Fedotowsky Ali gave use a suprise at the end of The Bachelorette Season 6 when she sent Chris Lambton home early, incredibly confident in choosing Roberto. 14. The Bachelorette Season 12: JoJo Fletcher While there were final rose ceremony tears and a bit of drama – Robby Hayes really thought he had it in the bag, while Jordan Rodgers held back, initially, when it came to asking JoJo Fletcher’s parents for permission to propose to her – the Dallas beauty ultimately went with her heart, and the frontrunner all season (Jordan). 13. The Bachelor Season 9: Prince Lorenzo Borghese This one didn’t end in a proposal either. At the end of his season, Prince Lorenzo Borghese chose Jennifer Wilson, but rather than giving her an engagement ring, he gave her a family ring and asked if they could keep dating. 12. The Bachelor Season 14: Jake Pavelka Jake shocked fans on his season finale when he chose the season’s villain, Vienna Girardi, over fan-favorite Tenley Molzahn. View Slideshow

Jon Gosselin: Quitting T.G.I Friday’s, All Our Fault

Before yesterday, Jon Gosselin was happy working the grill at T.G.I. Friday’s. Well, now he’s going to quit.  Why?  Because we’re all a bunch of jerks for revealing his job. TMZ first reported that Gosselin was part of the kitchen staff at the Lancaster, PA franchise, accompanied by a selfie Gosselin took with two other employees. It’s believed that one of Gosselin’s co-workers sold the story (and photo) to the media outlet. Gosselin had reportedly been working there for a few months before being found out, and yesterday morning he tweeted his disappointment (which has since been deleted) at TMZ , and the internet in general. Gosselin was furious that a job he was “passionate” about was being used as tabloid fodder.  AND he was donating his paycheck to charity. “I’m not going to work there anymore because now the trust and the teamwork is gone,” Gosselin told 103.7 in Dallas on July 20th. “Now someone took a picture of me and sold it … Now I gotta leave a job I was passionate about.” The restaurant’s general manager, Scott Trompeter told Page Six how much he liked having Gosselin as an employee . “He works here because he likes to cook,” Trompeter said.  “He cooks during the day for me and sometimes here and there.  He’s done a great job the last couple of months.  He’s part of my Friday’s family.” View Slideshow: 15 Couples Who Fell Apart on Reality Television As of today, the restaurant’s rep told Page Six that Gosselin hasn’t yet left Friday’s. “His employment with us as a team member is in good standing,” the rep said. Trompeter confirmed that Gosselin does indeed donate his check to charity. “Every week,” Trompeter said, adding that the 39-year-old former reality star works 7-8 shifts, three days a week. Gosselin does, however, make time for DJ gigs, which he tries to do at least once a month. Jon Gosselin Slams Kate On Couples Therapy
