Since her tweet acknowledging his deed, her account has been suspended from Twitter. Truthfully, the fine folks at Twitter should have left it up, like CNN and Fox have done when racist actions involve non-white citizens to stir the racist brew.
However, evidently good ol' Bubba Conroy did not learn well in school, especially history. Bubba would have discovered that Anthony Johnson, an enterprising black man, was the first slave owner in the United States. He realized the profit to be made using free labor and therefore, capitalized on black
slave labor. This lesson may lead Bubba to replenish his supply of saliva, as he will now be required to spit on all food prepped by herself.
Spitting on food by fast-food workers is nothing new, it has been done by many adolescent and even adult workers around the world. As for this writer, I never dine at a restaurant I cannot see my food prepared... ever! McDonald's is one of the worst fast-food restaurants when it comes to worker visibility.
Suggestion, many public places have surveillance videos capturing everything under the sun. Consider placing employee surveillance cameras on employees, where food is prepared. Place the video monitor where patrons can watch their meals prepared.
The McDonald's where Bubba Conroy worked should substantially compensate white patrons served under Bubba Conroy's dubious servitude.
The South Carolina McDonald's did issue a statement after firing Ms. Bubba and said it would pursue legal action if necessary. I think spitting in someone's food is a crime and legal action should be taken without hesitation.
Great article AND funny!

DeleteLove the sardonic feel of this article. Whites are not racist against blacks for their color, just against the losers and the uneducated whom make a ridiculous attempt at pulling the entitlement or race card. Let them rant and rave until they turn to dust, it will not change how we feel, other than to become less passionate about their pathetic whines.
ReplyDeleteHere is a brief course in history about slavery, morons: The Africans whom sold their outcasts into slavery sent 4% to the United States, another 90% were sent to Brazil. Many black families bought slaves for themselves out of that 4%. As the article details, the first slave owner was a black man and petitioned the court to keep his slaves long after slavery was abolished, he won his case!
So with that, wallow in your stupidity ignorant, uneducated, feel pity for me blacks. Oh damn, you won't even be able to read what I wrote, you quit school, learning was a simple task you couldn't even commit to. So spit on black men and women, those of you who think this is getting back at whites for slavery need to move your dumbasses to Brazil and tangle with the fine folks who worked your brothers and sisters to the bone. In this Country, you will remain suppressed and downtrodden until you gain a brain.
All I know is Mr. Johnson must have been very old in deed to have been the first slave owner and the last slave holder following his court victory. Something missing in the timeline there?
ReplyDeleteJohnson was captured in his native Angola by an enemy tribe and sold to Arab slave traders. He was eventually sold as an indentured servant to a merchant working for the Virginia Company.
DeleteJohnson was sold to a white planter named Bennet as an indentured servant to work on his Virginia tobacco farm. Servants typically worked under an indenture contract for four to seven years to pay off their passage, room, board, lodging and freedom dues. In the early colonial years, most Africans in the Thirteen Colonies were held under such contracts of indentured servitude. With the exception of those indentured for life, they were released after a contracted period with many of the indentured receiving land and equipment after their contracts expired or were bought out.
Johnson took ownership of a large plot of farmland after he paid off his indentured contract by his labor. On 24 July 1651, he acquired 250 acres (100 ha) of land under the headright system by buying the contracts of five indentured servants, one of whom was his son Richard Johnson. The land was located on the Great Naswattock Creek which flowed into the Pungoteague River in Northampton County, Virginia.
When Johnson was released from servitude, he was legally recognized as a "free Negro." He developed a successful farm. In 1651 he owned 250 acres, and the services of four white and one black indentured servants. In 1653, John Casor, a black indentured servant whose contract Johnson appeared to have bought in the early 1640s, approached Captain Goldsmith, claiming his indenture had expired seven years earlier and that he was being held illegally by Johnson. A neighbor, Robert Parker, intervened and persuaded Johnson to free Casor.
Parker offered Casor work, and he signed a term of indenture to the planter. Johnson sued Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654 for the return of Casor. The court initially found in favor of Parker, but Johnson appealed. In 1655, the court reversed its ruling. Finding that Anthony Johnson still "owned" John Casor, the court ordered that he be returned with the court dues paid by Robert Parker.
This was the first instance of a judicial determination in the Thirteen Colonies holding that a person who had committed no crime could be held in servitude for life.
Though Casor was the first person declared a slave in a civil case, there were both black and white indentured servants sentenced to lifetime servitude before him.

ReplyDeleteOMG! To me this is funny because that poor ignorant person actually thinks he is getting back at whites, by spitting in their food?! Hahaha
DeleteWorked for me, I feel so bad now. I would apologize but I wasn't born in the days of slavery, and I am assuming this dumbass was not either, therefore I feel no remorse,since it happened over 200 years ago.
However, I am not opposed to holding a public spitting spree on good ol' Bubba Conroy that would be fun, not because he is black, but because he is stupid!
Loses his job. Since this has gone viral, no restaurant, other than a racist supportive one, will ever hire him. Cannot collect employment insurance, but I bet he gets the gifts from Obama that we the taxpayers take care of though.
Yes, this guy has damaged White's forever with his act of revolution! Hahaha
It is a guy, right?
You never dine at fine restaurants where you never see the back of the kitchen? I doubt at high-end restaurants their spitting on your food
