A Tennessee man who was accused of using a racial slur on a receipt at a Red Lobster restaurant last year is suing the restaurant chain and the waitress who cashed in on the incident after she posted a copy of the receipt on the Internet.
Devin Barnes, 21, claims he never wrote the racial slur on the receipt, and that the negative attention he received as a result of the way Toni Christina Jenkins - the waitress who claims to have received the slur - publicized the incident is slanderous.
In Barnes' suit, filed in Williamson County Circuit Court, he claims Jenkins slandered him by misusing his personal information, and that Red Lobster's 'willful and malicious ... omissions to act' by failing to prevent Jenkins from using his name and information 'to gain publicity and money' has caused lasting damage to his reputation.....
The handwriting analyst found that 'no significant handwriting characteristics similarities' were found between the questioned 'total' entry line and the handwriting samples provided by Barnes and his wife, the Tennessean reports.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline shortly after the incident, Jenkins said she believes Barnes when he says he didn't write the slur. She says she only posted the picture at all 'to make a comment about racism,' not to draw attention to herself....
In the weeks following Jenkins' posting the photo on the web, the left-wing blog AddictingInfo.org started an online fundraiser for her that raised more than $10,000 - money Jenkins later said she planned to use to buy a car....
Red Lobster said in a statement issued Friday. 'After the completion of a full investigation into this matter, Miss Jenkins returned to work.'
Barnes is seeking $1 million in his suit against Jenkins and the restaurant.

“Haven’t heard of HER submitting her handwriting for analysis.”
Was it in cursive?

They all worked/wanted to work for Dan Rather's CBS?
I recall the word was printed, not cursive.
“A lot of blacks love victim hood. It has proven profitable to many.”

I have picked cotton side by side with black people, I have worked for black people, I have employed black people, I have dined with black people at their house and mine, I have gone on trips with black people. I have gone to church with black people. I have served in the Navy with black people. I have been treated by black doctors and nurses. I have been helped by kind hearted black people who didn’t know me from Adam and I have returned the favor. I can say one thing for certain, black people are far more likely to bring up the subject of race than almost any white person I know.
White males deserve a little more respect. IMO the waitress doesn’t believe this. It would be interesting to follow this case. I wonder if we’ll hear more. The $10k the waitress received won’t go very far in lawyer’s fees. But that’s the American way.
A hunnerd bucks sez she is the mad pooper of Ypsi.
We've got enough of a problem with liberals from Massachusetts and New York moving here to get away from what they have made their own states into. How about Vermont, they welcome liberals there.
But we could use some solid conservatives from Tennessee, they would enjoy our mountains, hunting, and small town spirit.
Red Lobster was sold the other week, by the same firm that also owns Olive Garden.
Red Lobster will pay dearly for this —
I’m betting that she printed her job application and that “N” and other ‘igger” letters are on that application as plain as day.
Discovery will be a b***h —
Frame it and hang it on the wall in your entry hall.
That’s the only way anyone will EVER see it.
What is the restaurant chain worth? They should have been the first to step forward and shut this down. Too late now. Pay up.
Except they could have oh so generously given the customer "the opportunity to deny" with a private phone call or letter. They didn't, which brings the phrase "malicious intent" to mind.
The bottom line is the b!tch returned to work.
So nothing was done.
So whitey gets $h!t upon again.
You have a point in your post #53.
See if any of your Asian friends want to get in on the Nabisco lawsuit — they also make “Cheese Nips”. “Members of the jury, look how YELLOW they are!”
And I don’t know if they still make “Spic and Span” for cleaning, but the right shyster can wave his arms and pretend that those are two slurs against Latinos.
Really? I’ve seen posts removed that use that word
I am glad he’s suing. If people start to do it, most of these ‘racist’ slurs will be cut by about 99.9%.
I’ve stuck by my promise not to ever patronize another:
Cracker Barrel
Sonic
Dead Lobster
Olive Garden
Help me out here. What establishment am I missing on the boycott list.
Why is it the right is so timid about boycotts?

“I have picked cotton side by side with black people, ... “
I cannot say I have ever picked cotton side by side with black people. I cannot even say that I’ve ever picked cotton.
I work with a lot of wonderful black people and I often dine with them. I go to a church that has made up of about 30-40% wonderful black people. I have great respect for so many of these good family people.
“I can say one thing for certain, black people are far more likely to bring up the subject of race than almost any white person I know.”
It may be because race baiters like rev. Jesse and rev. Al show how profitable it can be.
