Because Kennedy’s Disease is a Racial Indicator

1. Check out the Interdiction List at any of your local liquor stores – you’ll never guess what dominates.

   1. Sensitivity training so staff will have the psychiatric and medical training to recognize and diagnose mental disorders in Indians and other colored folks who happen to wander into the store.
      God forbid that a person with a mental disorder be mistakenly considered drunk.
      Is that what is happening? Sounds like it.
      What will that cost the store owner? How will that juvenile treatment of store staff make them feel? Perhaps they may feel they are being considered racist until they get the brain wash?
      Any society that stupid and guilt-ridden cannot survive.

      One more thing regarding stupid society, when will I be allowed on an airplane to fly within my own country to visit my family who live 2500 miles away.

      1. ” One more thing regarding stupid society, when will I be allowed on an airplane to fly within my own country to visit my family who live 2500 miles away. ”

         When you get juiced and follow the indoctrination like a good little sheep.
         And when your masters are ready you will be lead to the slaughter house.

         Although , if just 3 or 4 % of the population rise up in rebellion we can be rid of that which vexxes us.

   2. Here in Ontario it used o be called the Indian List. As a young man I worked part time at a beer store. Th cash register was front and center at the cash register.

2. ” he had no alcohol in his system that day”
   The subconscious mind is quite revealing at times.

   1. I picked up on the same curious wording …

      Question: Do disease suffering people NEVER use alcohol? Is there some kind of mutual exclusion between being drunk AND diseased? How about some “sensitivity” training where employees are taught about REALITY?!

   2. @Greg:
      Hello Kal.
      PS: I do the same thing sometimes.

3. I thought Kennedy’s disease was getting drunk and drowning your car passenger in a pond.

   1. That was my first thought as well.

   2. Ooooommpfff!

   3. And blowing their panties into the glove box.

4. I actually looked “Kennedy’s Disease” up and was surprised to see no mention of famous Ted at the Wiki…

   *something I was so certain of!

5. I notice that the article does not actually state that the man in question was intending to examine or purchase furniture.

   1. He was there to pick up a piece of furniture that he had specially ordered.

6. You bet it is, years ago in the city of Edmonton, AB., an aboriginal man on his way to work early on morning, he was a general labourer, suffered a stroke at a bus stop and lay on the ground for hours because everyone at that bus stop that day assumed he was a drunk and passed out on the ground. Not one person that day bothered to check this person lying on the ground just left him lying there. Eventually there was a person with a heart who did check on this person and called medics. No compassion at all, this is the society we live in today.

   1. You touch that person or try and help that person and in today’s society you could be charged with various crimes. I would only help from a distance.

7. As a retired liquor store manager, I can tell you that alcoholism is pretty much evenly spread in the community, regardless of race.
   Also, it can be very easy to confuse some medical conditions as intoxication. You have to ask questions, talk to the person, assess their sobriety. I often wished we had a breathalyzer in the store- it would have settled a lot of questions. In the end, you make your best guess and sometimes you’re going to be wrong. At that point, you apologize like hell, and try to make it up to the customer.
   I was in retail for 36 years. It can be a minefield, dealing with the public, and I’m glad I don’t have to do that anymore.

   1. Also, it can be very easy to confuse some medical conditions as intoxication.

      Diabetics in insulin shock can exhibit signs of disorientation and their breath can smell like alcohol.

   2. “As a retired liquor store manager, I can tell you that alcoholism is pretty much evenly spread in the community, regardless of race….”

      So, were you in Red Lake … or Kenora?

8. Last time I checked you’re asked to undergo a breathalyzer if there’s a suspicion you’ve been drinking…y’know, the same kind of suspicion Brick employees might have had. Cops never ask you because they’re bored.
   “…that day” – hilarious.
   Anywho…no dog in this fight so have at it.

9. When is a drunk Indian not a drunk Indian?

   BTW I had a (now deceased) friend who was half Haida and he would have failed this training rather spectacularly (and hilariously).

10. If the disease is that serious should the guy have been allowed to drive(that day)? That question probably displays racism also –

11. They sell furniture in Thompson, Manitoba? Get out of town!

12. Where was his caregiver?

    One can see why Big Aboriginal would make hay from this but I will still ask why this guy wasn’t looked after?

    Or do they care?

13. In Thompson half of any store’s customers are Indians and I’m betting an infinitesimally small minority have ever complained about prejudice. The guy appeared pissed. If anything it is a health discrimination issue. We did retail. I gave extra good service to one Indian woman because I was told she steals and I’m prejudiced against theft. I gave normal service to the rest of the Indians because they were nothing but normal. We only have a small percentage of Indians.

14. They should have waited to see if he would throw up a gutload of Keystone and McNuggets onto a new sofa.
    Assuming a man who staggers into your store slurring his speech is drunk is an honest mistake. Good Lord, who hasn’t been drunk and stupid and received the bum’s rush out of a place at one time or another? They don’t care what your skin is, they just want you gone.

15. The mere requirement for racial sensitivity training presupposes that Indians are drunks. How did the authorities determine racism was involved versus an easily mistaken presumption of being drunk. People with rare and disabling conditions should wear a bracelet or have some other way to let people know.

16. As anyone hear ever heard of the withdrawals. They can last for several days without having any alcohol in your system. To the layperson it could be mistaken for intoxication in some cases.

17. Where exactly did the racial profiling come in?

18. Willing to bet the video footage tells an entirely different story.

    110%.

    Given the location, it is almost a given that a considerable percentage of sales are generated from aboriginals (hence sensitivity training).

    Charter rights or not, if this were me, I’d carry a note or, at the very least, inform concerned individuals that I suffered from a degenerative disorder.

19. Let the seller beware.
