Woman loses not one but TWO jobs over racism..

[SMOGZINN]

I see this as a complete non-story. Any one would have been fired for this, no matter where they worked. This happened at her work, and she went off on what amounts to one of their customers. Who would expect to keep their job after going off on a racist rant at a customer in the parking lot of your job? The only thing that makes this a story is that it became a story so now she has a level of notoriety that will follow her. This is the risk we all take in a connected world.

Hypothetical question for you - I don't relate this to the woman in the OP at all.


I remember seeing kids do this all the time when I was that age: So lets say you're behind a school bus and a kid flips you off from the back window. You respond in kind and also flip him off in response.

A 2nd kid in the bus recorded you and now shared it on social media. You become identified - Should you be fired from your job?

If I am a school teacher, definitely. Otherwise, it will matter a whole lot on my boss. If they felt it reflected poorly on the business, I would expect so. I have seen people fired for less. I once witnessed a UPS driver get fired for wearing black socks (dress code requires brown.)

But note, this was not just an encounter on some random street caught on social media. This was at the school she worked at, and to a parent of one of the kids that attend that school. If I flipped someone off in my offices parking lot, and that person happened to be a customer, who then complained to my boss? Yes, I would expect I would be fired. Just as a boss I would probably fire someone under those conditions.

with the prevalence of cameras on phones nowadays you'd think people would learn and not let their emotions get the better of them but apparently not. and that is good.

I think social media justice is actually making things worse. People generally do a lot better with understanding advocates in changing their inclinations than they do with punitive overwatchers.

For the most part, white trash is low income.

She is looking and acting just like someone you would see on the "people of Walmart" website.

She is clearly white trash with her racist tirade.

u so mad.

Wonder how she'll make the payments on that truck..

The thing that makes it a story, is that twenty-five years ago, she could've effectively made a case that the parent was lying, and in a "he said she said" kind of thing her white privilege would've kicked in, and it all would have been swept away under the rug.

Thank God for video.

The only way I can make any sense of this is that it was a Ford F 150.
