At a former employer, we had a White Conference room


Oct 22, 2019, 12:06 PM

named after a guy with the last name, White.

Used to joke with this black lady that she wasn’t allowed in.

We had conference rooms and hallways named after


Oct 22, 2019, 1:10 PM [ in reply to At a former employer, we had a White Conference room ]

places downtown like East bay or Market (hallways); the pineapple conf room, sumter room etc.

We had to change the names because someone complained that they were racist.

and having to go to meetings in the Pineapple Room?





THAT LEVEL OF RACISM DISGUSTS ME THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY.

I don't think the plaintiff is making stuff up, but one


Oct 22, 2019, 12:21 PM

aspect of this story is just hard to reconcile with my every day reality, especially given that I'm in the deep south were everyone is supposed to be racist.

This guy says he had people using the N word around him frequently. Here in middle TN, and previously greater Clover/Ballantyne, I bet I haven't heard that word in 10-15 years, unless it was in the context of a story like this or a Dave Chappelle show. Just doesn't come up, ever, and it's not because I choose to hang out with ultra-PC hella woke individuals....it's just a hateful word that seems to have been rightfully left on the scrapheap of history in my experience.

Just boggles the mind that people would just throw that out there with abandon in a workplace.

souf...you know this.

seriously, I think the difference between here and there is that the south was called out long ago and has been working on their s***. them yankees don't even know they are racist. kidding. sort of.

It’s bad here, if not worse. The haves and have nots are so far apart, more so than many other places....it breeds racism.

Big deal and seems like the Best Fest is about to implode too.

Can you believe that Founders statements? They truly are unreal.

Never liked their beer anyway.
