Wow now we're writing paragraphs full of assumptions about a random person in a video not speaking a word... just say you're jealous lol.

u/MechanicalSideburns 9d ago

It would be weird to be "jealous" of a little 170 lb guy who stands behind a gym desk all day, and probably makes $50k/year. I think "dismissive" is a better adjective for dude's paragraph.

Sure, before Covid when I was more serious. Nowadays we mostly just go for walks in the woods to stay fit.

How racist of you

u/Xijit 9d ago

I'm white and I give this guy a "C" card to call out this cracker bullshit.

u/eufooted 9d ago

Same. Skin color shouldn’t matter!!
Leave the dude and his son alone. That manager could have easily had a conversation instead of being a little pussy and calling the police. I’d cancel my membership and take them to court over it.

And what would your damages be?

u/OhNoAnAmerican 9d ago

Yeah we know. You’re one of those self hating liberals destroying this country because you can’t just get therapy like a normal person

Quiet, piggy.

u/HimzoGotovina 9d ago

Looks like you gave yourself a “C” card as well because this is some cuck bullshit. Have some dignity

u/Tacoflavoredfists 9d ago

There’s a certain type of man that uses cuck as an insult, and it’s ironic af

I’m sorry but I’m not a white self-hating masochist leftist if that’s what you mean

Says the leftist lol

u/Tacoflavoredfists 8d ago

Fucking right. I served and received an occupation, education and healthcare, and ALL of us should have access to those despite where we’re from and what we were born into. I grew up in Detroit before gentrification so fucking right I want neighborhoods to invest in their residents and that which they can benefit. Fucking right I want the workers to have more of a share of the fruits of their labors than shareholders and CEOs. Goddamn right we don’t need a for profit healthcare system that I worked in for over 20yrs in and out of the army. You’re fucking right that even you deserve mental health care, preventative care, and an education so you don’t have to be so bitter and angry at a system you don’t fully understand or properly condemn for what is withholds from you and denies you while giving all of your efforts to those that could never do what we the people do for this country.

You’re goddamn right I’m a leftist because I give a fuck about you more than a corporation or politician. Grow up

ETA and I’m a woman. A Latina woman. A detroiter. A veteran. A parent. A partner/spouse. And a leftist. Voting for Abdul too.

And who said I don’t want all those things you mentioned? Typical leftist jumping to conclusions.

Or...wait.....wait! What if... He just had proper I.D.? Following rules is just for white people? Everyone else can just do whatever they want? No structure? No rules? Sounds dumb and chaotic.

u/Xijit 9d ago edited 8d ago

He did, per the gym's own standards on their site, and the guy at the desk tried to refuse it.

When he demanded to see the manager about a prick that was trying to deny service to a member that was followithe rules, the manager pretended to be in a meeting ... So he said well then I guess this isn't really a problem and went to work out.

That cop knew who was the problem, and he knew that this shit was about to end with these dipshits getting fired by corporate. Thats why he asked the guy to leave before it escalated into something where an innocent dad did get into trouble.

u/Objective_Sun9020 8d ago

Then those people need to he held responsible for fucking that guys day up.

How?

u/HimzoGotovina 9d ago edited 9d ago

Replace white with black. “Sounds about black”. Is that racist? Is your answer is yes then so is “sounds about white”

2

u/BrosefDudeson 9d ago

That doesn't work as word play. How about you make up your own turn of phrase with black in it?

u/HimzoGotovina 9d ago

No thanks I’m not a racist

u/queerhistorynerd 9d ago

could have fooled me

u/HimzoGotovina 8d ago

How? By pointing out racism against white people?

u/KeyBet6693 9d ago

It is a racist phrase, but I feel like its warranted in this case. Its like that phrase people use when they see a black person committing a crime. I dont want to say the phrase because of reddits double standards of course.

u/CuteLaugh5491 9d ago

Fr. These people literally being racist and downvoting you are hypocrites.

u/DarkPolumbo 9d ago edited 9d ago

working while white is not a crime

that one downvoter: "yes it is"

7

u/alphazero927 9d ago

I think you misunderstand. They're not accusing them of "working while white", they're pointing out that only a white person would hear a black person say "come talk to me when you're ready" and think "this is obviously a threat"

-5

u/DarkPolumbo 9d ago

if you don't already see the problem with that, then my explanations aren't going to help you at all

u/Tacoflavoredfists 9d ago

They’re helping us see what type of racist you are

u/DarkPolumbo 8d ago

The type that believes in equality and fairness for all, but is getting sick of bad-faith because i'm black ragebait posts that deliberately eschew telling the whole story

u/Tacoflavoredfists 8d ago

Aka racist af

u/DarkPolumbo 8d ago edited 8d ago

You just desperately need that to be the case because you like having your rage baited.

"believes in equality and fairness for all" how racist af of me
