This happens all the time. The controlled media always plays up the "victim of racism" angle and buries the followup that shows it was all a hoax.
Racist Red Lobster receipt may be hoax, analysts say | The Daily Caller
10/30/2013
The racial slur a Red Lobster waitress claimed to receive on a receipt in lieu of tip may have been a hoax, according to two separate handwriting analyses.
One handwriting analyst concluded that whoever wrote none on the tip line was not the same person who wrote the racial epithet. The second analyst believes the racist comment could have been written by the waitress herself.
Toni Christina Jenkins, a server at a Red Lobster in Franklin, Tennessee, posted a picture on her Facebook page of a receipt with the word none written in the area usually reserved for a tip.
Below that, the word ****** was scrawled.
The receipt clearly showed the name of the customer, Devin Barnes, who is white. Jenkins, who is black, said that she was not aware that Barnes name was shown on the receipt and posted it online to make a point about racism, not to target Barnes.
But Barnes, 20, denied writing the derogatory word.
Barnes, who was dining at the Red Lobster with his wife, did acknowledge that he wrote the none portion on the receipt. He said that he and his wife had to leave in a hurry and had to get their food to go.
Barnes attorney and pastor, Richard Dugger, hired Thomas Vastrick, an independent handwriting expert who has worked as a specialist for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, to compare the receipt to writing samples provided by Barnes and his wife.
Vastrick determined that it was more likely than not that whoever wrote none was not the same person who wrote the racist word.
There is evidence to indicate that Devin Barnes (K-1) did not write the Total entry on Exhibit Q-1, he concluded.
Dugger said that he plans to file a lawsuit against responsible parties, possibly as early as next week.
Its scary to think people get away with this kind of stuff, Dugger told The Daily Caller News Foundation
