BIG SANDY -- A Hawkins man is claiming his civil rights and religious freedom were violated earlier this year when a black man sacked his groceries and a Big Sandy grocery store owner banned the customer from the business.

DeWitt R. Thomas filed a federal lawsuit in July against Keith Langston, owner of Two Rivers Grocery & Market.

According to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Tyler, Thomas entered the market on March 5 to buy food.

He stated in a nine-page, hand-written lawsuit that he told the grocery sacker, a black man, “Wait a minute, don’t touch my groceries. I can’t have someone negroidal touch my food. It’s against my creed.”

Thomas claimed the cashier was “perplexed” by his request and yelled at him to take his items and leave.

1. Against his creed?

I want to know more about this creed. What a jerk.

[snooper2]

8. Thomas said his religious beliefs are based on Vedism

Thomas said his religious beliefs are based on Vedism, which he said encompasses Hinduism.

“Vedism translates into knowledge. I am not this way because I am ignorant. Ignorance is the enemy,” he said.

Thomas said he has not broken any laws and was exercising his religious freedom and the rights he has been given.



I guess he is just trying to follow his holy book

21. Vedism, huh?

Wonder if he considers himself an "Aryan".

[JHB]

24. Hadn't considered that aspect, but now that you mention it...

...it's more likely than it might seem at first.

[JHB]

23. His religious beliefs are grass clippings, processed by male bovines...

Read the whole part on that. Like the "sovereign citizen" business, it reeks of wingnut Faux-constitutional legalism trying to justify their pet cause (de facto segregation for this guy, not paying taxes for the SCers).

[WCGreen]

28. You mean assholism....

[gollygee]

35. Well, as with my signature

His right to practice his religion ends where the grocery store bagger's right to not be discriminated against begins.

[louis-t]

2. This HAS to be joke, right?

Any lawyer who takes this case should be laughed out of any courtroom.

[Enrique]

5. 9 page handwritten lawsuit

i think his lawyer has a fool for a client.

[Swede]

33. Probably in crayon as well.

[CBGLuthier]

3. Perhaps it is against the stores' "creed" to have ignorant fuckwads for customers?

I love his claim of a vedic source for his racism. A novelty in Texas to be sure.

[KansDem]

4. "Negroidal?"

Yeah, try getting a word that doesn't exist through the justice system!

The judge should throw this out! Especially if he or she is "negroidal."

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

13. Ah, the Master Race....

I are edjumacated!! Don't let them thar negroidal types touch my vittles!

[Xipe Totec]

22. Billions of years of evolution, and this is what comes out the other end?

Tell me that evolution isn't a random process...

[vaberella]

32. Unfortunately, it sort of does exist.

When anthropological scientists are looking at skulls or bones they will say negroid, caucasoid and the such. So you can go forward with something being negroidal, I have heard that used quite a bit actually. It's racialized but stated.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Good luck with that...

What a racist throwback!

[GoCubsGo]

7. I'm betting he was first in line at "Chik-fil-A Appreciation Day"

Because, you know, business owners should be free to believe and say whatever they want.

[cali]

9. Who the fuck would represent this cretin?

This is a sure bet to be tossed out.

[RKP5637]

10. "No Racists and/or Bigots Allowed in this Store!" n/t

[taught_me_patience]

11. "Handwritten lawsuit"... bwahahahahahahaha n/t

[47of74]

39. Some lawyer is going to have a lot of fun with this

[gollygee]

12. Here's hoping for an African American judge. (n/t)

[AngryAmish]

17. Here's hoping there is a judge who follows the law

That is terrible.

[gollygee]

18. I don't think there's any chance of this lawsuit going anywhere

But I like the idea of him having to deal with someone he's bigoted against who is also in a position of power over him. It isn't as easy as going after a kid with an afternoon job.

[Politicalboi]

14. I thought at first this was about

A black Teabagger. LOL! The kid should sue the asshole personally for his discrimination. And to claim religion as a defense is ridiculous. We can expect more of this religious defense for years to come. This is why church and state should be separate.

I had a g/f who worked at a hospital for the elderly. They had 2 dishwashers. One for the Jewish patients, and one for all others. I can't believe that is still going on. Religion is just a mind fuck IMO. It doesn't deserve any rights that go above the law.

[bullwinkle428]

31. Just to be accurate, Jews don't require that their dishes be washed seperately from

non-Jews. Many Orthodox Jews DO maintain two seperate machines, as utensils and dishes used for meat and dairy are not to be mixed, according to Kosher law. I happen to be a Reform Jew, which means we didn't bother with all of that crazy stuff, but some insist on maintaining old traditions.

19. Thank God it's Texas and not the Big Sandy area in which I reside. nt

[madokie]

16. That dude needs his ass kick square up 'tween his shoulders

And then the living shit kicked out of him for walking funny
I don't do racist asshole very well

[sinkingfeeling]

20. The store had every right to tell him to leave. They can protect their

employees. Hell, it's Texas and the black man has a right to work.

[Ganja Ninja]

25. Calling Mike Huckabee! Calling Mike Huckabee!

Bigot needs help on aisle 1.

[malokvale77]

26. My daughter and grandchildren live in that area.

The racism and bigotry is rampant. They've been in a few dangerous situations, because they tend to call people out on this type shit.

[nichomachus]

27. I have to admit

When I saw "black bagger" in the headline, I thought it was going to be about a black Teabagger -- and I'm pretty sure they don't exist.

[KamaAina]

29. Au contraire, mon frere!

[mfcorey1]

30. Just spilled my martini!

[nichomachus]

37. I stand corrected, but

you have to figure that if there are gay Republicans, there are bound to be a few black Teabaggers

[dsc]

34. those who use their religious beliefs to discriminate against gays have no right

to complain about him.

[gollygee]

36. Interesting point

I hadn't thought of that, but good point.

[agent zero]

38. If he had a problem with it he could have just gone to a different store.
