This drunk 19 year old moron? Or the jackass, who posted a picture of himself and the child of his coworker on Facebook and allowed his friends to make racist comments about the kid (and contributed himself)? And while I don't think that the people posting stupid racist comments are all racists, they're just stupid as shit for posting shit like that with their personal accounts. Good ridden to stupidity getting its ass kicked to the curb.
Quote:
An Atlanta man was fired from Polaris Marketing Group last week after he posted racist comments on a Facebook picture of himself and a coworker's African-American son.
Gerod Roth, who was listed on Facebook as Geris Hilton, posted a selfie with Sydney Shelton's 3-year-old son Cayden on Sept. 16. Roth's friends soon started making extremely racist comments on the picture, saying things like, "I didn't know you were a slave owner" and "But Massuh, I dindu nuffin." Roth himself commented that Cayden "was feral." The post has since been deleted, but not before countless screengrabs were taken.
The dude seems even more douchey with his comments following the incident/firing...ugh...stupid douche.
Quote:
According to the Journal-Constitution, Roth was also fired from YourEDM, where he worked as Geris Hilton, and several of the racist commenters have been fired from their jobs as well.
"I just really feel upset, not only with myself, but also the character that was based off the comments that my friends had made," Roth told Atlanta's FOX 5 News. "Cayden has been victimized but I have been targeted."
He also claimed to have asked one of his Facebook friends to stop making racist remarks, and said he emailed Shelton an apology, but Shelton told FOX 5 that it didn't seem sincere.
"People post things in a [joking] manner and it gets taken a completely different way but I don't believe any of these people were joking," Shelton said.
The kid deserved whatever he got the second he put his hands on another human being.
Having said that, unless the worker was under a specific directive to not serve inebriated people or something, he strikes me as a douche on a power trip. If the places around college didn't serve drunk when I was in school, I would've starved to death.
Again, he may have been under orders, in which case, ignore my last statement. But if he wasn't. I'm OK with him being publicly criticized in any way except physically.
Interesting that you're the only person, who has insinuated that he may have been a douche. Strange take, IMO.
But publicizing pictures of his dad packing up the car? What the hell is that all about? "hoo-hoo-hooo, he's packing up and leaving school cause he was expelled!" Why is this getting some sort of "breaking news" treatment?
The internet mob phenomenon is just really pathetic, regardless of the unsympathetic nature of the target.

That was, more or less, my point... that they're even posting pictures of him leaving school. Social media is all over everything... this kid is going to have a hard time getting past this....

Agreed. This kid deserves his expulsion, any legal ramifications, and even his public embarrassment. But, the pictures of him leaving campus are going overboard, in my opinion. He brought shame and embarrassment on himself. We don't need to pile on simply for our own amusement.

I agree. It's sad that so many people take pleasure from other peoples misery.
And has been arrested for disorderly conduct where he reportedly called a police officer a racist term, and separate incident for assaulting an officer and allegedly injuring his arm. Now he's charged with trespassing and breaching the peace in this incident.
"We don't need to pile on simply for our own amusement."
Oh hell yes we should. How else do dickheads learn that actions have consequences?
How about being arrested and kicked out of school? Do you honestly feel you're responsible to teach him a lesson?
If your going to be stupid you better be tough Steve.
You want to bring it on yourself you better be able to take it.
Handicapped or another situation, I agree with you.
Drunk dumb ass? Reap what you sow.
He acts stupid and it gets posted online, I'm fine with that. But I disagree with you that "we should" be piling on by following his dad and taking pictures of the dad packing the car. So in this world of where we should pile on for our own entertainment in order he properly be taught a lesson exactly how far is the right amount, and who should determine that? Should people follow them driving home and maybe get a picture or two of them stopping at a rest stop to use the bathroom? Or perhaps maybe if someone stalks out his house there can be a few pictures of a crying mom to post online? Are siblings off limits or should they be included in order to properly teach the lesson he needs us to teach him?
I guess we just see it differently. I have zero issue with his being recorded being a drunken fool. But the need for so many in this country to then investigate and go after people and their family to get their pound of flesh or some twisted enjoyment from seeing people ground all the way down is what I find distasful.

I hear you, but how much worse is the pic of his dad packing up his stuff when compared to the video? His spot has already been blown up.
I didn't watch the video of him packing his bags and

IMO it isn't about whether it's worse or not. He was a obnoxious drunken fool and faced appropriate repercussions. Why do we have to take pictures of his family; caption them and post them online? Other than the feeding frenzy mentality or a taking a twisted pleasure out of getting a glimpse of a family's misery what is the real point beyond the video?
If he would have done that in a business I owned?, he wouldn't have been there when the cops arrived.
Kids want to be stupid these days, they know it's on the nightly news.
Until recently, it was just those in the public eye everyone laughed at if the screwed up.
Now it's everyone.
Welcome to the future.
But it was the comments about those very pictures that you responded to. Maybe you didn't realize that when you were responding.

whatever you say jackass. Still, look at where this thread started, then read somewhere down the middle and where did the discussion morph to?
I get more of an impression from that apology video that he's just a really immature kid, but that his apology was as well as he can do with something like that.
I think he covered all the bases, and not too horribly.
Yep, how they're dressed, tattoos, jewelry, and *gasp* even skin color effect how we perceive people based on preconceived notions. It's how our brains work and really no big deal when it is just that quick, initial impression that's easily dismissed.
It's when those biases override rational decision making and color (ha) your everyday interactions so much that it interferes with your or (worse) others lives that you really have and/or are part of a problem.
Luke's Mac N Cheese is a funny move by UConn. And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch over that, I don't think it is insensitive in the least bit.
and honestly can't decide if it is disingenuous or not.
I could sort of buy it if it weren't for his past history at his prior school. But that makes it pretty hard to believe he's anything but a prick, and this is just fake contrition to not get expelled from a second school.
Which is why I think it may be "sincere". I don't think he's learned a lesson and likely has ulterior motives for making this video. Nut, it didn't seem phony.
It comes across like the kid in the original video.
I suspect that he may be beginning to wake up to the fact that he falls very high in the pantheon of stupid drunks.
One of the advantages of video is that many thousands of people are discovering this about themselves. And really, without this type of evidence, some of them may have suspected, but they didn't know for sure.

I'm just impressed that a thread about a YouTube about a drunk whiny brat gets 206 comments. And still climbing.
About to post the same. Idiot deserved a punch out.

Also, back in my day, we slummed it on Easy Mac. Bacon japapeno Mac N Cheese? Holy hell.
