Here we go again with the "race" card
« Thread Started on Aug 12, 2009, 10:24pm »
It never fails - if you don't get your own way - shout "racism!".

A family of travellers is living in a £1million house paid for by the taxpayer. John and Serena Connors and their seven kids have their £600-a-week rent covered by benefits.

Their landlady is trying to evict them for allegedly causing tens of thousands of pounds of damage to the north London house.

Police in Totteridge sent leaflets to all residents, apart from the Connors, warning of thieves tricking their way into homes.

The Connors have blamed the situation on "racism" and are threatening legal action. And who foots the bill for that?

And how the hell can they be travellers when they live in a house? How did they get that?

A couple have demanded an apology over being given a 'racist' receipt. A student and his girlfriend are outraged after being called a 'black couple' on their receipt by staff at a London pub.

Johnson Abraham and Roxanne Duhur claim they were the only couple dining when they received their bill at the Slug And Lettuce in Islington Green.

They ordered at the bar, without a table number, before going upstairs to find a seat. When they went to pay for the meal the comment 'upstairs blk couple' was printed on the bill.

Slug And Lettuce area manager Nick O'Donnell said, “We often put a note on orders to help reduce the chances of it being sent to the wrong table. I agree the language was inappropriate. I apologise for the upset caused.”

Mr O'Donnell offered the couple a free meal with champagne, but Mr Abraham said, “I was outraged. I class it as racism. I want an apology. The manager apologised but the waitress hasn't.”

But did the waitress print the receipt? And why the hell are they insulted at being called black? They ARE black! How would THEY describe themselves - non-white?

The story should read: "Whinging black couple, with giant chips on their shoulders, do their best to promote racial discord in their quest to benefit from monetary gain!"
