Luka Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Good. The only way to eliminate the word is to remove it from EVERYONE'S vocabulary. Not just the non-black vocabulary.
Gary M Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Good. The only way to eliminate the word is to remove it from EVERYONE'S vocabulary. Not just the non-black vocabulary. Zero tolerance is ridiculous, a written warning is all this warranted.
MarkAF43 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Zero tolerance is ridiculous, a written warning is all this warranted. Would a white guy have gotten a written warning? Don't kid yourself. It's all about equality. You fire one who says it, you fire all who do
Gary M Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Would a white guy have gotten a written warning? Don't kid yourself. It's all about equality. You fire one who says it, you fire all who do Agreed, but firing anyone for a first time offense is ridiculous.
MarkAF43 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 But it wasn't. The article indicated the guy has had other disciplinary problems in the past. Sleeping on the job I think it was

Sleeping on the job I think it was FTA "Downtown has zero tolerance for the word you used," DPW Deputy Commissioner Martin Davis told Gordon at the January meeting. "White people get fired for using that word, and now they're holding you to it. They are not tolerating that and they will not put up with it. There's no wiggle room out of that one."
keepthefaith Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Agreed, but firing anyone for a first time offense is ridiculous. I don't think a white person ever be given a 2nd chance on that one so no reason to give anyone a 2nd chance.
unbillievable Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 A black guy at work got fired for bothering his ex (a coworker). She filed sexual harassment. He got his job back by filing on the company for race discrimination. Racism trumps feminism.
