Hate against Haitians sparked by Republican running mates Donald Trump and J.D. Vance spilled over to the Jamaican community in Springfield, Ohio, this week.
In a post on Facebook, the Jamaican Patty Co. said an employee was confronted by an angry white woman who thought she was addressing Haitians.
"[W]e received a call from a disgruntled person regarding Haitians filing a lawsuit against the Trump/Vance ticket," the company explained. "Without identifying herself, she aggressively confronted us and mistaken us for Haitians and not Jamaicans."
The woman reportedly hung up before the restaurant could express a stance.
"The position we were about to take with her was, we as a company believe in standing up for what is right," the restaurant's posting said. "We do not condone misinformation or frivolous attacks on our neighbors, which we now know has given merit to this new lawsuit."

(5,840 posts)how did they know it was a white woman? Was it a call on Facetime? I'm not in any way condoning what the disgruntled person said or did, but let's not be reverse racist in claiming it was a white woman just because she was confrontational. In 2016, when Trump was haranging about the "Mexicans," it was reported that there were plenty of Hispanics in Texas who were with him in not wanting any more "Mexicans" coming across the border....
Just sayin'....

(244 posts)Why is Eric Adams being indicted for taking foreign money when Alito also took "gratuities" from a foreign German white supremacist? And what about Jared taking money from Mr. bone saw? Why is it a gratuity when Republicans do it, but when black people do it, it is a bribe?

Jamaicans and Haitians don't even bother anybody, they come here, work hard and mind their business. Some of the most wonderful people I know are from the Caribbean in contrast to many homegrown uncouth jackasses born and bred in the US.
Stupid witch.

(156 posts)"Karens think that their RACE and gender protects them from being assholes." In fact, their gender is just a bonus because the white race absolves them of any deserved blowback by the majority of the population.
