From what I have read online Racism = Prejudice + Power, so maybe if you remove it's batteries it will stop being racist.

Dr. Duffy pulled Complainant R’s head between Dr. Duffy’s breasts and asked Complainant R to ‘motor boat’ her,” the complaint states.
The Urban Dictionary defines motorboating as “the act of pushing one’s face in between two ample breasts, and rocking one’s head side to side very rapidly while making a vigorous, lip-vibrating ‘brrr’ sound.”
“Later that same day, Dr. Duffy grabbed Complainant R by the back of her head and kissed her on the lips,” the complaint continues.
Complainant R told Duffy the actions were unwelcome and asked her to stop. Duffy said Complainant R was being a “titty baby,” the complaint states.

The Market Basket workers lost the fight, BTW. I've read most are back to work at this point. They should have gone for the jugular and petitioned the pubic for divestment in the companies/funds trying to buy the business.

Still hundreds not working. But the protest was never really about workers completely walking off the job, since the start a bulk of the action has been by employees still technically working (hanging signs in stores, refusing to unload trucks, etc, etc). Either way, they're still rallying, and it's stills strong enough that both governors of MA and NH decided to get involved today.

This is getting close.
And the Govs released a statement:
“In briefings today, all parties report that they are optimistic that an agreement will be reached to sell the company to Arthur T. Demoulas and to restore him to operating authority on an interim basis until the sale closes. Subject to reducing their agreement in principle to writing by Sunday, the Board will forestall taking adverse employment action against the employees who have abandoned their jobs. We are hopeful that employees will return to work, and the stores will reopen, early next week.”

Goddamn, I hope that's true. It's been uncomfortable eating since it started, to be honest.
