I don’t believe this.

[1rudeboy]

Well, at least we have one side of the story.

[al baby]

And never forget there is always 3 sides to a story

[Gaffer]

I don’t either.

[Col Frank Slade]

Almost had to go to Pathmark Co Op City to install phone equipment years ago.

Thank God order got cancelled.

Be afraid, be very afraid ..

[BenLurkin]

now has flashbacks when she returns to a supermarket.

Pfft!

70, a retired pharmaceutical worker from Fordham

I've heard of someone named Ochocinco but who is this 70 person?

Co-op City has become very, I hate this word, diverse over the years. Either the store mgr did a piss-poor job of being sarcastic by telling her he’s kicking her out because she’s Black, or he is indeed is a weapons-grade nutcase, or this woman is full of it. Being that I’m somewhat familiar with that part of the Bronx, my BS sensors are overloading.

Awwwwwwwwwww.

Not buying it.

There had to be something that provoked the exchanges.

Perhaps the problem was Ms Bridgemahon’s halo glowing so brightly that it blinded and disoriented those around her, causing them to respond with raging racist remarks.

[Mears]

I’m not really familiar with Co-Op City but have driven past it heading back to MA.

The story is very strange IMHO.

My thought as well, there must be a side of the story that we are not hearing.

After all, we all know that there are no racists in NY. You have to come down south if you want to find a racist.

Permanent race card carriers maxing out their balances again...

Judging by the look she’s giving the photographer, if Michelle Obama had a sister with a bigger attitude, this would be she.

[SkyDancer]

Plus CNN’s side.

After all, we all know that there are no racists in NY.
There were and still are, they've just been a little more subtle about it. I remember my parents telling me no one ever burned crosses in daBronx, only real estate offices in Riverdale, Pelham Parkway, Eastchester or other "good" neighborhoods that dared to show co-ops or townhouses to those "G**damned n*****s" or "filthy sp*cs", this is how most progressives refer to them when they think nobody's paying attention.

What gets me is she has flashbacks “everytime she returns to that store”. Why return to a store that trashed you? And don’t say the low prices. Most big cities have a few choices
for grocery shopping. It’s like the old joke of “The food at this restaurant is terrible! Yes, and such small portions too!!”
The first customer may have been real, there are mean people in any town if caught on an off day. That she say’s the manager asks her to leave ‘because she’s black’. I tend to doubt any manager would be that stupid, even if they felt this way. The ‘victim’ may have asked him; is it b/c I’m Black?. Maybe the manager said nothing, allowing her to fill in the blank to suit her worst scenario expectations.

[JLS]

What a great business model not accepting black customers in the Bronx. That really passes the smell test doesn’t it?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Another day, another racist/homophobe hoax.

[Col Frank Slade]

This does sound fishy. If he really said those things he would be dead within minutes.
