Bye, Kinja! It's been fun (occasionally).

It wasn’t a joke, we all know that, but let’s make believe it was: SO WHAT???

Spent some years as a youth in Gresham as a POC. Not surprised.

I wonder what John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf think about enabling Roseanne’s return to television.

I wonder what the President of ABC will say about this. She is black.

So, I’ve tried to defend this show because everyone else working on it seems to have a different point of view than Roseanne. I’ve tried to view the show as one that stealthily positions her character as an Archie Bunker type who is learning lessons along the way about her narrow view of the world. To a degree, I’m

I wish Roseanne would’ve just come out and said “ni****”. Then maybe (but most likely not) ABC would cancel her show.

Fuck her, fuck the fans of her show reboot, fuck all this. Why the fuck is her show still going? Why the fuck is she allowed to do this with no repurcussions? What the fuck...

I question the effectiveness of this too. I had similar feelings about a ballot issue in Philly two weeks ago about whether or not to fund sexual harassment training. I question the effectiveness, and the cynic in me thinks that part of it is an ass covering exercise, but I have no idea what an effective solution

Wow, Managers dont have the ability to fire people? Sounds like bullshit

The thing I don’t get about the people who’ve convinced themselves that those on assistance are just getting pregnant on purpose to “get free stuff” as if it’s some sort of prize: why don’t any of them just quit their jobs and go have some babies if it’s so great? Go be pregnant for nine months with limited or no

If WIC and SNAP didn’t exist, that cashier probably wouldn’t have a job. Both of those programs provide a good portion of the profit for grocery stores. The original food stamp program was created to not only feed the hungry, but to prevent grocery stores and farmers from going bankrupt during the Great Depression.

Carroll seems like a nice person both in her offer to help pay and dignified complain to management and the public about this cashier.

In my years bagging groceries we never had a cashier do anything like this, thank God, but customers behind WIC and EBT users said stuff pretty frequently. Remarks about how long it took to ring them up, “why do they have those kids if they can’t pay for them,” etc.

I bet the odds are very good that cashier also uses WIC to make ends meet and we are seeing an epic case of projection here.

““’That’s why they have babies, so they can keep on getting all of the free stuff’,” Carroll said the cashier told her.”

Weird that a cashier can police who pays for what at the checkout. Was there no manger around?

To all the white people coming here “how can I help, you guys?!”
