🚨 “Chimping out.” That’s what Patrick Scott Barnes heard while quietly eating and reading at his regular restaurant in Sanford, Florida.
The Black man was minding his own business in a booth when a group of white men at a nearby table kept staring. One of them used the racist slur loud enough for him to hear. When Patrick confronted them, one immediately started apologizing because he realized he was being recorded. Another threatened to get Patrick fired from his job.
Then the guy in the hat jumped up and threatened to knock Patrick’s glasses off his face.
That’s when the recording started.
Later that same day, a restaurant representative who wasn’t even working tracked Patrick down at his job. She had seen the footage, knew him as a regular, and confirmed he didn’t start anything. She apologized and told him he was welcome back anytime. Patrick accepted.
Racists often only find manners when the camera is rolling and some still try to punish you for simply existing in public.
How many times does this exact scene play out with no camera around? And what does real accountability look like when the only thing that stops it is someone hitting record?
Richard Gere on Trump: “We’re living in the darkest moment that I’ve experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this? Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president and dismantle all the good things? America’s never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal. First day this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and people”
My wife retired from the military during Trump’s first presidency after 22 years of service.
Trump’s letter of appreciation was signed using autopen. They had to blow the signature up, which made it look pixelated. It was garbage.
…which is where she put it as soon as we got home.
I sent @BarackObama a letter request two months before her retirement ceremony because that’s the last leader MSgt. Shead served under.
…it showed up in our mailbox the morning after she retired. It was PERFECT timing.
It’s been framed and displayed for guests to see. 🇺🇸🫡
“So anyone who comes over knows what a real President does for service members, even after leaving the White House.”
