Employers are twitchy these days.
If you’re going to go public either far right or far left on a sensitive issue - you better be sure you boss doesn’t find out.
I disagree when liberals fire conservatives from their jobs.
I also disagree with this company firing him.
He is probably a class A1 a-hole on the job so they might have been looking for a good excuse. But it’s getting to the point where you can’t express your opinion on anything anymore.
I don’t know the story behind this= but we have seen more and a few examples of someone being called racist for no reason.
INCLUDING set-up operations... where democrats show up pretending to be republicans and throw out the N-word to make us look bad.
What the hell?!
Don’t toe the PC line and we’ll destroy your livelihood?
Why didn’t the woman just...show her ID?!
I thought it was about not showering before entering the pool.
If you come out of the bathroom bone dry.........
IMHO said company discriminated against the man they terminated for daring to have an opinion that they differed from and that’s discrimination in of itself seems like to this reader. At least a gross insufferable attitude of bias and intolerance. So they just figured two wrongs does make a right after all, for them at least.
Homeowners associations? Something to avoid like the plague.
Nice unjust termination lawsuit there
Employer going over the top
White boy was taught his place.
I don’t know what to think about this one. I guess he challenges other people at the pool so that is ok, but when she proved to the attending police officers that she was permitted to use the pool, the guy just walked away and did not offer an apology. What an ass. But I don’t know that his unrelated company should have fired him although his resigning from HOA was warranted. All of this because in my opinion he could not apologize. So he probably is a racist.
Watched the video she posted. the woman is an unhinged butt hurt dint do nuffin. why I gotta show ma ID. you dint ax no one els. .. the guy is being calm and collected. she is ranting at him because she’s black and knows she can get away with it. black privilege in action. Show your id and get on with your life. Its not all about you!!
Um, folks, this is not good. I know employers have the right, but a society like this will create dangers that it does not anticipate.
Guy could very well be an a-hole and/or a racist punk but most of the stories like this tend to lack details and contain emotional embellishments, which make it questionable.
Both of my neighborhood pools ask for my ID - why is this lady complaining?
Unless of course, she was bred with a chip on her shoulder to think every negative experience she has is tied to her race.
(1) Cards can be handed around easily. Being in possession of the card does not prove ownership or permission to use. Ask anyone who has had a credit card stolen or cloned.
(2) I think Mr.Bloom should have explained it differently. Something along the lines of: "Ma'am, it's my job as the pool chairman to make sure only folks in our HOA who pay for the pool are using it. Another person at the pool indicated that they didn't know you, so this is not me singling you out. I ask people for ID several times a week, especially if they are people I don't know or recognize, or I haven't seen them at other HOA community functions. I'm asking for ID sometimes people have visitors in the summer, so they'd know the address, but that doesn't mean they are authorized to use the pool unless the homeowner is with them."
(3) When asked if he was going to apologize to her, he might have said, "I will apologize for questioning you as long as you apologize for calling me racist. Your "feeling" that I questioned you because I am racist is wrong."
(4) I agree that he has a case against his employer. Unless he is in a position of public trust where he is accountable to his employer 24/7, that's wrong. I wonder what Ms. Edwards employer has to say? If I were her employer, I would want assurance that her interactions with customers & co-workers of different races don't start with a chip on her shoulder, as it appears this one might have.
Discrimination happens to people of all races and genders. Racism is not just repulsive behavior on the part of white people against black people. And it is very wrong no matter who initiates it or is the victim.
Didn’t he know that you now MUST allow blacks/gays/lezzies/dickchoppers/muzzies/hispanics/peanut-allergy/ people to do ANYTHING at all that they want to do, and that you must not comment on the unfairness.
As a White, you have no rights at all.
so he got fired because he turned on his heel and walked away rather than apologize?
I’ll assume that it was proven that the Guy is a Racist.
He must have showed the Lady his Klan Card when she showed him her Pool Key Card.
Otherwise, he is being slandered.
Sometimes the obvious isn’t really obvious.
In an episode of ‘Last Man Standing’ (BTW T Allen really slams BO & HRC whenever feasible),
A neighbor of ‘Allens’ is a Black retired Marine.
He shows up at the Sporting Goods Emporium that ‘Allen’ works at and - in order to give him EXCELLENT service on his first visit and knowing it was a new ‘market’ to crack, the Retired Marine was given ‘special treatment’ to win him over.
Every time he stopped at a display, this young White clerk would ask if he needed help.
(We REGULARS here can see where this went)
This is just another case of a person of color looking to start a fight to prove they too are a victim of the dreaded racism. If he had tossed her stuff over the fence, told her to GTFO, and called her a crack head in front of her kids, maybe he should lose his job. But, he didn’t.
