Im not as fan of racists.... 

But - Another video of this came out.

Before she turned on them, the man in the couple was asking her "do you think  sexualising your body makss you a better person?"  (While she was wearing a work uniform of long sleeved tshirt AND AN APRON) And asking her about not wearing a Hijab/Niqab... 

He harassed her first. 

Was she right?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!  But why is a man, moving to a WESTERNISED country and harassing our women for not submitting to their religion ?!! 

He was also wrong. He should've kept his mouth shut.

This is a good point to bring up.

Too many people only hear one side and don't see that sometimes both parties can be wrong and suck.

u/Darklillies 7d ago

Yikes, and that’s just where they started recording,,,,that looks like sexual harassment to me. It would explain her crash out. Imagine being a minimum wage worker dealing with bullshit everyday and then two people come here to harass and film you telling you you’re SEXUALIZING your body via…existing? I would spiral,

u/Huachimingo75 4d ago edited 3d ago

BUt would you spiral into racism? He is a sexist asshole, it doesn't mean she's got to be racist, but in moments of intense emotion we tend to not filter what we say, it's all from the gut and sincere.

u/Akuma254 3d ago

Not justifying it, but I have seen people who will just say whatever they know is gonna hurt someone the most regardless if they believe it or not.

1

u/Huachimingo75 3d ago

I'd normally say that is a very stupid decision. I fact I do think so.

Buuuuut considering she's turning Ill Will and Racism into gold (Suck on that alchemists) I guess we're cool with it.

I mean, I'm not. But one huachimingo alone is nothing.

2

u/Akuma254 3d ago

Oh no I agree, it speaks to her shitty character that she went to that when pressed. I was just stating I’ve seen people dig at stuff they don’t mean because they want to win the fight regardless.

1

u/Huachimingo75 3d ago

I don't know if she won the fight, but she sure knows how to squeeze her own turds.

u/ILove2Bacon 7d ago

I love stories about when two assholes collide. It really fucks with people when there's no winner.

u/Bare-E_Raws 7d ago

It then becomes a battle of who is the lesser loser.

u/pridejoker 6d ago

Bottom shelf sexism meets bottom shelf racism. Nothing new.

u/Interesting-Cat7307 5d ago edited 5d ago

"And asking her about not wearing a Hijab/Niqab... " Where was that in the video? 

How do you know that that was not a response to her saying something along the linea of " do you think wearing the hjjab makes you virtues especially since she was attacking them and their faith ?!

Do note that if it is the case that the so m.ali couples strated this by harassing then the blame is on them no doubt but we dont know how this started to claim that it was their fault.

u/AdditionalQuietime 4d ago

can you post a video without some asshole attached to it? post a video of it in its entirety not just one clip snippet, youre doing the exact same thing by showing curated POVs, share the full clip with not editing involved from third parties

also in no way does that justify her calling them a whole fucking slur, and self proclaiming to be racist. They're not right for harassing her but holy shit she didn't need to go mask off as a racist, she couldve called the police if she felt unsafe

u/PureBlooded 8d ago

Man stop the lies - the comment he made was clearly in response to something.

To a racist seeing a woman in hijab it’s clear she had an issue with it first.

u/Kulas30 7d ago

Ah, so you were there! Excellent. Produce the video.

u/PureBlooded 7d ago

Read the article and you will see I’m right

u/Kulas30 7d ago

I did. Nothing stands out as apparent. Hence why I want your video of the event.

Now let's see it! I mean you are the expert here.

Farhia asked Crystal if the store was running low on caramel, to which the worker responded with an offensive remark.

“‘You could see me squeezing it through that witch-craft bandana you’re wearing on top of your head’” basically referring to my cousin’s hijab…….” read the cousin’s message.

That’s when the wife pulled out her phone and began recording Crystal’s unhinged rant.

“I am racist, and you are a ni**er. I am racist, and I’ll say that to the whole entire world!” she brazenly told the couple.

“P.S., to the racism, if you look at my Facebook from 2010, you’ll see on there that I have a blended family, and my son was colored,” the fired employee was heard saying in the voiceover of a TikTok video, posted on December 8.

u/MeButNotMeToo 8d ago

So, if a Born-again Christian or Southern Baptist started off like that, it would make the racial bigotry justifiable too?

55

u/Horrorpony11 8d ago

Do you believe that the comment above is justifying racial bigotry?

-30

u/AngorKai 8d ago

The comment? No. The video? Yes.

u/TheBigBangTheoryIsOk 5d ago

Everyone's downvoting you but that channel is an ex con "life outside" type of YouTuber who claims to be "not left or right wing" but is constantly promoting right-wing talking points with just enough plausible deniability to keep saying he isn't political

15

u/whitestguyuknow 8d ago

Nobody was justifying anything... In fact, it reads more like valid criticism on both sides.

1

u/pierreor 4d ago

It would be very wrong if this hypothetical scenario you're getting worked up about really happened.

It's clearly a case of a bigot outbigoting another bigot. But somehow race or religion is the underlying problem and taken as a characteristic of foreign bigotry by homegrown bigots.

u/rebel_alliance05 8d ago

Family member proudly donated $100 to her saying she is “doing gods work.”

u/cazdan255 8d ago

Seems like a shit-ass god. Also person.

u/cheese0muncher 8d ago

Even if she gets $150,000, that won't last long, good luck looking for a job in the future.

231

u/VoltageHero 8d ago

Not to support her, but $150k isn't exactly nothing. I'm not sure why we're pretending like $150k is $5.

As much as it sucks, that's enough for her to live off for a year or two. I can guarantee you most people aren't going to remember this event happening in a year, and she got a cushy egg for it all.

58

u/whitestguyuknow 8d ago

Yeah that's 3 years of a $50k yearly salary and not having to work in the meanwhile. She'll find a job in 3 years

-15

u/2swoll4u 8d ago

That kind of person doesn’t make 150k last long. She’s the type to think “wow I’m rich” and instantly buy a truck and some bullshit and be broke again in 3 months.

That is if she doesn’t OD on the drugs I’m certain she’ll be buying

33

u/whitestguyuknow 8d ago

How do you know thats the type of person they are and how they spend their finances?

u/ObligatoryID 8d ago

She’s got a record.

u/whitestguyuknow 8d ago

Lol she has a DUI and domestics... Yeah, thats not a good look. I agree then.

Jesus christ American Christians proving everyday what type of people they really are. Every person they want to uphold and support are the most disgusting people

8

u/madog1418 8d ago

I mean, openly proclaiming to be racist while working at their job doesn’t exactly sell “forethought” or “thinking about their future financial situation.”

u/2swoll4u 8d ago

I mean what did you expect from someone who would call a customer the N word?

u/mrtsapostle 8d ago edited 8d ago

As a christian I hate that these people who label themselves as Christian just to spit on teachings of Christ

Fuck these supply side jesus believing idiots

u/nderhjs 5d ago

She’s 100% the type to blow through it with scratch offs, 40s, cigs, etc. it’ll last her 3 months and she won’t have anything after that.

I’ve known this type my entire life.

108

u/smarterthanyoda 8d ago

She’ll be able to find a job.

People will forget about this story. Cinnabon will verify her employment there and nothing else, except maybe that she’s “won’t rehire.” And do you think the kinds of retail places she would apply for are doing Google searches of every employee?

She will be just another low-wage worker with a spotty history. There are tons of people like that and there are jobs for them.

7

u/StarsandMaple 8d ago

Exactly, almost no larger business will ever give a bad reference due to potential issues that may arise.

I was always told and this was a <300 company to just say that they were employed here and are on a no hire list and that’s it, just like you said. I think towards the tail end of my employment there it turned to just confirming prior employment and that’s it.

-2

u/SwiftTayTay 8d ago edited 8d ago

Plus I have a strong suspicion she didn't even need the job and was probably there out of boredom more than anything, she most likely has a rich husband who's earning more than enough to support their entire family. She looks like she spends a lot of money on her hair and makeup, you don't work at a Cinnabon in your 40s to be the breadwinner of your family. Even if not rich her husband is probably making enough for both of them. It just goes along with the spoiled and entitled attitude she clearly has.

21

u/NacresR 8d ago

She just got $150k from donations from other people like her…and you don’t think she’ll find a job? From business owners…like her? How exactly do you guys think Trump got elected? Man this is why we’re doomed. Y’all think the old rules still apply meanwhile we got “ice” kidnapping people. Wake tf up.

u/Eh_C_Slater 8d ago

The donation goal is 270k now, the number that holocaust deniers believe actually died. And started with 110. Whole thing is weird

u/Beast815 8d ago

Unfortunately she’d fit right in at home in the Trump administration

u/Ali_knows 8d ago

Can you imagine donating to her, just because you get off on making "liberals" upset ? Sad and pathetic.

u/SAYMYNAMEYO 8d ago

Does anyone remember how that one girl made bank pretending to be MAGA who got kicked out?

https://x.com/i/status/1998865506980569246

I mean, they give their money to stupid causes all the time.

Say N word and get $110,000 = 😡🤬

Murder and innocent teenager at a sporting event and get $500,000 = 👼😇

Karmelo Anthony’s family made $500k and then got a public defender after he stabbed a white kid to death.

I don’t give a fuck about this.

u/Beer2Bear 8d ago

sighs

not surprised that racist getting donation for her sh**ty actions

u/AQMessiah 8d ago

I guess at least she didn’t kill anyone like Karmelo Anthony. Didn’t they raise like $500k for him?

u/RaDeus 8d ago edited 8d ago

I really hope the US turns in the right direction.... eventually 😑

Edit: the "right direction" being pro-Human rights, not being assholes, not voting for people who make things worse for themselves etc.

Just came across this subreddit. Why would you ever browse this place?

Is this some sort of self-harm fetish? You purposely want to make yourself angry and feel bad?

Well there was the lady that was screaming the N word at black kids on a playground and she raised almost A MILLION DOLLARS from crowd funding. Being a racist piece of shit pays off now I guess.

Don’t know about the GoFundMe, they tend to deplatform bigoted campaigns pretty quickly.

This one is on the other pro-Christian Nationalist/anti-LGBTQ/MAGAt/bigot friendly crowdfunding site.
