Would you have fired that lame employee who posted that?


A North Carolina car dealership is issuing a deeply regretful apology amid backlash when an employee who sold a 21 y/o black woman her first car said THIS insensitive remark on the dealership facebook page!!

21 y/o Trinity Bethune was excited to get her first car after using all the money she worked for as a personal care assistant to at a nursing home to purchase it from Lumberton Honda...

But the dealership posted a photo of her in front of the vehicle they sold to her with a very unflattering racist remark..

When she saw it, she said "I'm not sure if this is a joke or something but my name is definitely Trinity Bethune. I'm very offended by this post, it's almost a racial slur. If i'm not addressed by MY name, then please don't address me at all"

The since deleted post has gone viral with many calling for a boycott of the dealership as they wrote #TrinityBethune and our dollars matter, stop buying here"

It's unclear who posted it and what their motivation was but the name is considered derogatory term for black woman

Her brother, Tyrone later made the disgusting post go viral with 23,000 shares

She hasn't touched the car since buying it and said "I feel like my character was played with. i mean, i think i carry myself in a very well manner"

The dealership has since said that employee was FIRED and executives have called her to personally apologize but thousands claim the apology doesn't go far enough and now many 1 star ratings were added on the dealership page as Trinity is now considering LEGAL action

Would you have fired that lame employee who posted that?

It's sounds like a made up name mocking some of more decidedly African American names you see these days

It's a derogatory name for Black women. Yes, it's a really bad thing.

Thats both super awful and also outright stupid, but I feel like firing the employee should have been the end of the story? Like, an employee insulted you. The company fired the employee. What else is there?

This is America. Anyone can sue anyone. She probably saw dollar signs there. And I'm not saying that because of her race. All Americans would do this.

nah this is different than outrage over a $50 pair of sneakers.

unless Honda offered to do a full refund with a little extra for waste time and effort, then I dont blame her. I wouldnt wanna have that car as a reminder myself either, as she said.

So suing them is fair enough to me tbh. Dont fuck with someone dropping 20+ grand at your business.

A full refund plus a few hundred dollars provided she returns the car sounds fine. A lawsuit for tens of thousands without returning the car is not fine. Not when an actual slur wasn't used.

I agree with that. A refund is what Id hope for too.

if they refuse though than Id be fine with a lawsuit. Tbh Id be fine with Clunkers idea as well. Id absolutely prefer to employee himself to be the one hit with the penalty.

dumb parallel, as "Karen" isn't necessarily based on race, but rather a person's actions, while the only thing the woman in the OP did was buy a car while being black.

Also it would still be wrong if a employee called a customer a Karen. But that's usually not what happened when a woman gets called a karen

Actions attributed to white women. Would you be fine with calling white people Bon Quishas so long as they act a certain way, a certain way that's negatively attributed to black women?

I'm not even talking about this story. Whoever did that is clearly a racist dickhead who only called her that because she's black. But calling anyone Bon Quisha will never be acceptable under any circumstances, yet Karen is just a part of regular discourse now.

even though "Karen" is more commonly attributed to white women, which is wrong, it has also been used towards people of different races and genders.

you can't see the difference between a generic name that women of every race can have to one that's used as an exaggeration to insult black American culture?

Karen references negative behaviors attributed to white women. I don't know how else to explain the problem with it. It doesn't matter how many people of different races are named Karen, or how many people of different races are called Karen, when used as a pejorative it references negative behaviors attributed to white women.

what I'm saying is even associating "Bonquisha" with black women is insulting black culture; it has nothing to do with people's actions.

if you were like, that's a Tilly - short for Mathilda, but a nickname many black Mathildas have, for some reason - for example to call out people expressing certain negative behaviors, it would be a different story.

I think I get you. Bon Quisha has no behaviors associated with it, it's just something people call black women because they're black? I'm asking.

Doesn't affect my opinion of Karen as an insult.

nah, I'm saying that when someone uses "Bon Quisha," it's not to call out any actions, but to make a negative statement about black women, and black people, in general.
