Another "hoax"? This video actually mentioned comments, when this went viral, that questioned whether she didn't do this herself. Of course, the long history of race hoaxes perpetrated by the victims themselves should make anyone suspicious. Other question I would have is what is the race of the customers the waitress was serving? I noticed that was omitted, which makes me wonder if the customers were black. That would certainly change things but if the media reported that then it would spoil the unspoken assumption that it's racist whites that did this, then the story wouldn't have the same impact. Next step is she's so emotionally devastated she needs to sue the restaurant chain for not adequately protecting her. Jerry
