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.

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

"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."

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.
