shogun5000,

Lmao, sorry, this sounds like complete made up bullshit. Sad.

stembolts,

I find your response to be a bit of a jump to the conclusion you want to be true.

Maybe it is made up, is there a lack of evidence? Could you provide more information as to why it appears to be made up?

Texas_Hangover,

Is Bubba Wallace working at Tesla now?

Letstakealook,

Ha, in his defense, it wasn’t him that reported the “noose” but a member of his crew.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

Jesus. The details are damning. This is not white Gen-Z'ers thinking they're post-racial so they can repeat the stuff they hear from black content creators (and of course, they're not and they shouldn't). This is pretty much old-school racism.

Also apparently not the first issue, or the second.

What (or who?) could create a corporate culture where racists would feel empowered to say anything they want without fear of repercussion?

ShaggySnacks,

I’ll take CEOs for $1,000, Alex.

CanadaPlus,

So, that gets you about an hour of their time…

anachronist,

Who could do a thing like this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=e04rVnb1Ahw

Synnr,

Hmmm, maybe someone that built his fortune on Apartheid money?

Could it be…? 🤔

mcgravier,

Sounds like a complete BS. Basically what haters want to hear.

Bad working conditions ect. would be believable, but this is just too sensationalist to take at the face value

chloyster,

I mean, the EEOC is literally suing them. Not sure what part you don’t believe. If you don’t believe that stuff actually happened there, did you read to the end of the article? It’s not the first time they’ve been accused of this

Fauxreigner,

Nah, these accusations of racism from a company owned by an Apartheid era South African emerald mine heir are too racist.

We interrupt tonights edition of “The Opinions of Suburban White Kids” to bring you this breaking news story: shit-faced children of shit-faced billionaires continue shit-facing well into adulthood, a recent study finds. I’m going to now pass this over to Chad Handsome, who is currently live at a Little Caesars pizzeria downtown grabbing lunch, with more on this SHOCKING discovery. Chad?

It's okay, we see your post history defending far right violence and whataboutism about a non existent leftist strawman.

You can skip the song and dance and just not post on here. We know you'll excuse racism or pretend it doesn't exist unless it happens to you. Bigots tend to do that

Radicalized,

Lmao, this guys post history. I’d accuse him of being a shill but I think he’s sucking corporate dick for free.

Ok. Life expectancy in america is lower for poor people. We can agree on that. Can you please compare it to the life expectancy in communist countries, like North Korea, USSR or China during Mao regime?

Lots of gems in there like this one, check through for a laugh. I don’t know why, but every right wing dirtbag that talks about “Marxist ideology indoctrinating children” is also an Elon and trump simp. Every single one. Evidence that the right loves strongmen, dictators and big leather daddies to tell them what to do and run society for them.

Doubtful you even understand what a Marxist is, honestly

Sure you can, do whatever you want, but you’d be a supreme dipshit if you tried to equate them

Marketsupreme,

Yeah these damn government orgs are just haters for suing them on legal grounds! /s

To anyone thinking of reporting this comment, he’s already been banned. I’m leaving the comment up because I think it’s a good example of the community rallying to push back on a racist idiot. 😄

Bye Felicia!

Bye fellatio

prole,

And yet at this moment it has +16 points.

There was a good month or so there where lemmy wasn’t inundated with far right nonsense… that was nice, wasn’t it? Sigh…

DragonTypeWyvern,

Anything that can be a front in the culture war will become one.

I’m not sure I agree, I’ve seen the far right nonsense on here since day one. Sure, it’s increased with the overall popularity/activity, but it’s always been there. Then again, since I help to admin a large instance, I’m perhaps more exposed to see it.

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

I saw KKK epithets, a swastika, and the N-word all over the bathroom. It was so gross and racist I don’t want to discuss it. It would say ‘kill black people,’ ‘kill N-words,’ ‘hang black people,’ ‘hang N-words.’

When I was in high school some kids did exactly this in the bathrooms, targeting a specific black administrator. There was a whole thing about it one year, and I’m from a very progressive part of the USA so you wouldn’t really think it would happen, but it did. I’d guess 2009 or so, not long ago enough.

Now there’s an argument to be made that those were just kids, not adults, to which I would counter with: those same kids grew up into adult bodies, but some percentage of them didn’t grow into adult minds.

If you doubt this story happened, then I doubt you went to American public schools lmao.
