In reply to the discussion: White man denies saying 'Go back where you came from' [View all]Jedi Guy
(3,501 posts)She says he said X, but is now walking it back, apparently. He says he never said X, but did say Y. No security footage has been forthcoming, and even if it does appear, it's possible it won't have audio. No witnesses, store employees or otherwise, have come forward to back up either person's account of what transpired.
It's worth noting that Mr. Sparkes apparently had a post on his Facebook page within the last week calling Trump a Nazi and telling him to go back to Germany. Whatever Sparkes is, he certainly doesn't seem to be a Trump supporter, and he self-identifies as a Democrat.
Is it possible he said some really rude things to Mrs. Thomas? It's definitely possible. Is it possible he said some racist things to Mrs. Thomas? That's also possible. Given the limited information at hand at the moment, I'm somewhat skeptical of her account, particularly since she's begun walking it back.
At this point, given her sudden backpedaling and the information about his Facebook posts, I wouldn't be surprised if he did say some rude things to her and she decided to allege that he made racist remarks, particularly since she stated she wants to "make an example" of him. Given the sad state of affairs in America today, though, I also wouldn't be surprised if he did spout some racist bullshit.
