NY Librarian Fired after Refusing to Discriminate Against Whites
Pundit Press ^ | 11/9/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 11/09/2014 3:34:25 PM PST by rightistight

A librarian who formerly worked at the Riverhead Free Library has filed a lawsuit saying that she was fired because she did not discriminate against white people. Riverhead Free Library is located in Long Island, New York.

Diane Woodcheke says she was fired after she questioned her boss's decision to only hire minorities.

Her boss told her that “my people have been kept down,” and, therefore, only minorities should be hired at the library.

Woodcheke questioned this, telling her boss that "discrimination is illegal." Woodcheke claims that her boss then mocked her and then fired her soon after.

“Discounting people simply because of their race is the very definition of racism,” said Vesselin Mitev, Woodcheke’s attorney.

So who will prepare marches and speeches on her behalf? If it were the other way around you know there would have been speeches and marching and protesting.

Let me guess!

I’ll take “Racism” for 1000, Alex.

Was her former boss .... “a liberal who voted for ... Obola”?

Why is this legal?

Is the DO”J” really too busy on Election Fraud
and protecting terrorists and criminals?

I have to snicker at things like this.

The librarian is probably, given the location and profession probably someone with very left wing political views.

The left doesn’t see that the affirmative action rules they have created for everyone else apply as much to them.

Good for her. Hope her lawyer is a barracuda.

As these stories increase, and they will, I fully expect a marked increase in black unemployment numbers.

It will be coincidence I’m sure. But actions have consequences. And the good people screwed when they come home to roost should place the blame on Black racism where it belongs. Because until Barry began the war, things were getting better every year.

I’m glad she spoke up and didn’t just take it. This is also prejudice, needs to be called out and eliminated. We are not in the year 1966 where affirmitive action may have been justified.

In 25 years this will be norm. Our grandkids face a bleak future.

Bleak future maybe. But this will be settled long before 25 years. Because this election turned young people away from liberals.

Libs did their job too well on the race thing with a lot of them. They hate it SO deeply that they don’t ‘discriminate’ when blacks do it any more than whites do. There may indeed be hope. Maybe.
