ACB: Someone Using “N” Word Doesn’t Constitute Hostile Workplace

They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

LL101 uses that word all the time in here. Does that make this a hostile message board?

It's definitely racist. Definitely hostile for black people at least. What black person would want to visit a board where the "n" word is tolerated? Reminds me of the wild west days of YouTube 10 years ago.

Its utterance in a pejorative sense by a white supervisor to an African American is definitely hostile.

That said, I don't have access to all the facts in the case. It appears lower courts agreed with Barrett.

MCRF this hit piece has no substance. Zero.

I just read the federal complaint and nowhere in the claim he was called the N word.

He DID claim he was called a "dumb mf'r".

The guy never made it out of training. Equipment was damaged during his training.

If MW would allow me to upload an PDF to this site I would share with ya'll.

"Among Smith's assertions is that his supervisor called him the " n" word."

Did you read the article or pretend to read it?

If the word is so offensive, why is it so popular when used in movies and music??

I read it and said, let's check it out! It's false.

It's not in the federal complaint. They certainly wouldn't leave out that fact in the complaint, when they included "mf'er" in the complaint.

Your sources are not credible... What's "thegrio" anyway.

I guess you are going on hearsay.
