Does Black Lives Matter Create a Hostile Work Environment?
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jul, 2020 | Civis Americanus

Posted on 07/10/2020 4:52:07 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Black Lives Matter has created an environment in which you can destroy just about anybody by calling him a racist, and now we need to turn this environment against BLM. Could a good employment lawyer argue that an employer's or university's support for BLM constitutes an actionable hostile work environment or hostile learning environment?

One of the qualifications for a hostile work environment (or hostile learning environment in a school or university) is simply that somebody has to feel offended, which is the "woke" Left's favorite method of attacking its enemies. The complainant must also show that it is discriminatory, pervasive, and harassing. A swastika or KKK hood would almost certainly meet all these requirements for a Jewish or black employee. A good lawyer might be able to argue that an employer's support for Black Lives Matter similarly creates a hostile work environment for Caucasians in general and Jews in particular.

Does Black Lives Matter Qualify as a Hate Movement?

The first step is to establish a prima facie case that BLM is, with the prominent and perhaps unique exception of Robert Ray Barnes' Black Lives Matter Foundation, itself a hate movement every bit as repulsive as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis. Here is but an overview of what has been found crawling around underneath the rock called Black Lives Matter (again with the exception of BLM Foundation, which advocates better police-community relations and is not connected with BLM Global Networks or other BLM-affiliated hate group).

The NBA and NFL would be prime cash-cow targets for such lawsuits.

A terrorist organization causing a hostile workplace?? nah.

As an aside, can I GO ANYWHERE without seeing companies, stores and corporations not having some damn mission statement or proclamation about how they stand alongside the blm protesters blah mother ####ing blah?!!??!!?!

I can’t even order groceries at Shoprite without seeing it!!!

Stop shoving this stupidity in my face!!

Stop living like animals, stop spreading your legs for pretty much ANYBODY and stop having 5 kids with 5 dads.

Stop having narcotics and alcohol laying around everywhere.

Get a work ethic, study, stop blaming everyone else but yourselves, and stop crying like little B.TCHES!!

I thought these projects/minority types were so tough.

They cry like little girls.

I’ve been in them way too often for several years now.

These are firsthand observations.

The left has created such a hostile environment that the author felt they had to write this article under a pen name.

You bet your butt it does. Folks where I am are absolutely not talking to each other in fear of saying the wrong thing and compromising their employment. It’s getting pretty bad.

I know. I record the Twilight Zone on my DVR to see the episodes I never caught. During the pause I saw them advocate BLM. I deleted my recording of the Syfy channel. F em.

It is hate movement that the democrat party has willingly embraced and will happily obey.

To the headline, what a stupid question.

As for the suggestion of lawsuits, find the deepest pockets and go for it. The blm gang have lots of defense resources and no money making them a worthless target.

Also target the whites that support blm.

Of course work is a hostile environment, even before BLM was a stain on the carpet.

I learned decades ago in “sensitivity classes” in my first job, that there are “protected classes” of people, and I wasn’t one of them. My internalization of this was “don’t say anything at work”, no “art” in the office, work is for “work”.

Now the “woke” leper colony that I am at is amping this crap up 3000% for the Democrats. My response is to not participate at all. I just say, “I am not protected, so I shouldn’t risk being involved”. Of course, no work is being done anymore, but that doesn’t matter to the “woke”.

As an aside, stick to “BLM”. If asked to spell it out, use “Burn, Loot Murder”. It’s Maoist to get you to repeat their mantra. Like, it’s the “Chinese Army” but they want you to say the words of “PLA” everywhere, like the People are ever going to be Liberated.

I worked in anti white male hostile work environments my entire life—I never knew there was any other kind.
