Already, the whites don't like your colour and your local accent (if you grew up here), so don't compare yourself with those other waiters working there when you see them breaking rules. When they weigh everyone's employment worthiness on the scale, yours will go below the threshold for employment.

Even in Ghana, a very overweight (large) woman once told me, she couldn't get a job anywhere because of her looks, even though she had no bad record. So, where you don't have that favour in a US company by your looks, accent and culture, that others may have, don't follow them when they misbehave at the workplace.

When people start talking a out racism i just listen because it can never stop just as tribalism can never stop. Just behave cautiously, normal a d well and leave the rest to God. Most Africans who complaints about racism are the perpetuaters when it come to tribalism at home. All humans do it except those with Godly love and those with consciousness.

She is not being truthful and thats fine..it's hard to find jobs in America right now everyone is hustling and for her to have this hustling job taking away because she couldn't control herself and took out her phone even for a second to get some footage for her social media was very suspect. I'm sure she took out her phone somehow even if it was to check her messages or to record footage of herself it was wrong and she had been advised not to..follow the script, do your watering and leave..no pictures. If you see others doing it, that's them..you are NOT them..I always ask my akata friends if you see everyone jumping over a bridge will you follow suit and the smart ones will. Say...well, it depends on why they are jumping.....fine you took out your phone..you thought you were slick and you were busted and now you are crying..please, stop complaining and go find another job..or just go to Ghana and find something to do on Lagos Avenue lol

As a black woman from Ghana over there, the only leg you may have to stand on in a company, is your competence, and character. Your employee colleagues there may have other "legs" of good looks, nice accent and american culture, that the employer likes, so, hold onto your only leg there. If you compromise it, others may have other legs to stand on, but you will no more have a leg there.

She is just looking for sympathy from people who think like her. Working at a place with guests coming in and out like restaurants etc, "Phones" are prohibited, and she knows it so, she is just trying to create something for herself.

As long as she was hired to work at the place means racism has nothing to do with it. She broke the ethical code of conduct and that led to her firing.
