    Have you thought about turning this into a screenplay?

    Believe it or not, I spent about an hour telling a medical professional about it, and she said the SAME THING. She said it would make a fabulous story. I said it didn't FEEL so exciting as much as NUTSO cookoo. Family mental illness is not funny, or benign. Not when Fox NEws programs the crazy.

    Have you seen some of the crap coming out of Hollywood lately? It couldn't be any worse and chances are it might be better. Besides, it could be therapeutic. Who would get to play you?

    I've seen NO mention or comment from whoever was working the desk at LA Fitness or their staff for confirmation of the story or a denial.
    This isn't a comment on the issue at hand, because I can't even hear the other side of the story.

    This is commentary on what passes for journalism any more and of course one sided threads that don't even attempt to be fair.

    I have a REAL play in me, but I wont likely write it. About board track racers. And their fight to get a union. Just as they succeeded in getting safety to be the slightest issue, the men that ran the thing, closed it all, to stop from paying a real wage, or fixing death traps.

    It would be some of the best drama EVAH. IT would OUTDO Ben Hur, and that is saying something.

    Here is just a taste of the real thing, CG would make it terrifying.

    Other side of the story is, the members don't care for blacks, and they didn't act like they belonged.

    No. That's one sided biased drivel that kills real debate and civil conversation before it even begins. And you own it.

    You cant imagine the places I should have been arrested for being, and weren't, as I ACTED like I belonged. Growing up, that was a sport.

    " Been having problems with this staff for months over nothing. Every time, something new.’’

    So this isn't the first time there has been trouble with these guys and I bet they knee the rules about signing in and having your membership tag with you.

    No we get it, snowflakes shouldn't have to confront the reality of racial bias in America.

    There's a sure sign for you. Fire the employees than apologize like crazy.

    LOL...that's corporate butt shielding 101. How old are you, anyway?

    Apparently you are unfamiliar with the concept of blaming the underlings so the guys upstairs are spared any blame.

    Nothing new is going on. This crap is over a century old. Its just got a new seasoning packet added in the 21'st century.

    Wronged? People are wronged every day it race has nothing to do with it. This morning a Mexican cashier let a Mexican lady cut in front of me. The cashier wasn't fired and USA Today didn't run a story with the headline Mexican Wrongs White Guy.

    Did you ever hear of the book 'When bad things happen to good people?" I'm sure you'd love nothing more than to change it to 'when white guys do bad things to good black people.'

    You broke my stones throughout an entire thread claiming the thread was only made to make blacks look bad. What do you think the purpose of this thread is? Why do you hate white people so much? In your mind, is it possible for blacks to be anything but victims?

    Simple answer: Who cares. People are wronged every day and they don't get headlines in the news.

    Were you in the thread about the guy who was kicked out of a bar because he was a Trump supporter and a judge ruled political beliefs aren't protected and it's permissible to discriminate against them? There's a 95% chance these guys were democrats, so all the gym owner has to do it boot them on for being liberals.

    You lefties need to stop seeing race in everything. If these guys were white you wouldn't have a problem with it.

    I don't give a hoot about what happened to them or the employees. This is just more race crap from the left, there is no story here worthy of being on this board.
