Bo Bice Gets Called 'White Boy' at Popeyes, Cries on TV, Threatens Legal Action
In Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport over the weekend, 2005 American Idol runner-up Bo Bice's feelings were mortally wounded by the "RACIST EMPLOYEES" at Popeyes Chicken. "He's already got his, that white boy over there," the 41-year-old Alabama native says an employee said in reference to him. In a post deleted by Facebook, Bice said the remark was "condescending" and the employee in question was "laughing at and mocking my name (Bow-Bow, Boo-Boo, Bo-Bo) for 5 minutes straight with other employees."
He even got to go on Fox 5 Atlanta to talk about his harrowing experience with the nonexistent system that is #reverseracism, where he wept. "The fact that I've got to sit on TV and come down a notch and look like a petty little brat by tweeting and Facebooking this, just to open up dialogue so we can have an adult conversation, is ridiculous. And America," he said, staring down the camera, tears still shimmering on his cheeks, "you should be ashamed."
Fox 5 reported that the employee had been suspended; Bice told his 31,500 FB followers that she only kept her job because he was benevolent enough to allow it:
"Shawana wasn't fired, and the reason she wasn't fired is because I asked Edith Hunter her manager not to do so. I told her that she needs some sensitivity training and the behavior pattern of these employees needs to stop. You're welcome Shawan, I hope you get you attitude under control and that the training your team receives helps to stop this from happening to other. I hope you get back to work soon!"
Good god is that some self-important white savior shit.
