Systemic / Institutional / Societal Racism

[Jorge]

My cat is really smart.

[Jorge]

Sure she's skittish and a bit of a spaz, but legit one of the smartest pets I've ever had. Her ability to figure basic stuff out and to communicate her wants and needs surprises me every day.

[Jorge]

And yet I know that if I sat down with her and attempted to explain to her how a guitar works, I wouldn't be successful. She's just not equipped to learn it. No matter how slowly or patiently I explain it, there's just something not quite there. She's not physically able to comprehend. It would be foolish of me to try.

Sorry, I posted in the wrong thread, I think. What are we talking about here?

He wasn't fired precisely because he played the racism card. He's a terrible employee with many strikes against him from many other issues. He still has his job because he's black, ironically.

I thought you told us he was fired.

He did. He also told us that he was RMing from work which was against company policy. So, he tries to get a black man fired while bragging about breaking company rules with no repercussions. He’s the Karen of the board.

Can we ban tree_ from this subforum? This shit is so tiresome.

I’ve been trying for years. More power to you.

I agree that I should have more power.

If you can get rid of tree__, you have my full support.

Well, not fired - he now gets to clean the bathrooms, and for that he should be thankful

"He still has his job because he's black" said the man who questions whether systemic racism even exists in America.

Good luck on your learning adventure, tree. The above post is the best starting point you've gotten so far.

They didn’t trust him to clean the bathrooms. He basically had to sit there for 8 hours a day because he was mentally challenged. So all he does all day is sit there and, of course, he fell asleep. Who wouldn’t? But good ol’ tree__ decides “fuck this shit” and goes and rats him out to the boss and gets the guy fired.

This is a perfect example of the proof he's been begging for. Ironically.

Goddammit! This is what I’ve been telling you guys for years!!!

I love the idea that someone could be skeptical about the pervasiveness of racism on a day when the White House said this

[tree_]

Yeah. Ya know, some black people are poor employees who break company policy out in the open for all to see. At least this white person has the wherewithal to hide it. If I did what he did, I would also suffer consequences, but I wouldn't play the race card. Also, he wasn't mentally challenged any more than me that I know of, for the record.

[tree_]

I don't think all black people are exactly like him, and thank God I'm not exactly like all you whites.
