We are drowning in a toxic sea of political correctness, where anyone can scream discrimination, sexism, or racism, and the media will jump all over it wanting to vilify the accused perpetrator. Facts be damned. Look at Ferguson, the media was only so willing to go along with the "hands up, don't shoot" narrative, backing the story of an unreliable eyewitness despite the horrific consequences of getting it wrong. Officer Wison was convicted in the court of public opinion based on incorrect "facts" offered up by a sensationalist media. However, a grand jury was presented with the actual facts and determined there were no grounds to prosecute. However, most people's minds had already been made up, CNN had made up their minds for them.
The lesson to be learned here? Don't just take the accusor's word for it, gather the facts, and withhold judgment until all the facts are presented. Too many examples recently of false narratives being pushed by people with not so hidden agendas.
What say you CBreezy?
I'll say what I've been saying from the beginning. Just because she's Muslim and asked for a full coke, it does not make her a terrorist. All my comments were refuting those people who kept saying things like "I haven't forgotten 9/11 unlike you."
