FULL TITLE: EPA official says agency has 'no tolerance for racism' after offensive messages found at headquarters

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Chief of Staff Ryan Jackson on Monday told employees that the EPA "has no tolerance for racism" and will investigate recent incidents of offensive words scrawled on whiteboards at the agency's headquarters in Washington.

Jackson vowed in an email obtained by The Hill that the EPA will "hold the individuals who are spreading these messages responsible.” He said the EPA is taking “every measure” available to find the person or persons who wrote the messages, and to protect employees.

ADVERTISEMENT “If you have experienced these actions or have information you believe could be helpful to hold individuals accountable for these actions, please let your supervisors know,” he wrote in the email to staff. “We need to solve problems like these together because it affects all of us and is a problem no one at EPA should experience.” Jackson also asked the inspector general’s office to investigate the racist messages, which include the N-word and were first reported by Politico last week.

The all-staff email comes after reports that EPA headquarters has been battling a number of anonymously written racist messages on the whiteboard of the agency’s Office of Public Affairs since the summer. Politico reported that last week’s message was one of at least six since August.

Jackson indicated in the email that the agency still has no leads on who is responsible for the messages.

In a separate instance this fall, EPA acting administrator Andrew Wheeler was criticized for liking a racist meme on Facebook. HuffPost earlier this month reported that Wheeler liked from his personal Facebook account in 2013 a meme that depicted then-President Obama...

Dollars to doughnuts, if they find the perp, the perp will be a minority or “oppressed class” of some type.

Find the leftover disgruntled Obama-ites of color.
That’s probably still quite a large number.

The Air Force Academy has a situation like this a couple years ago. Someone left racist message on a wall. They immediately went into a witch hunt and training on race. My first thought was “false flag”. I was right. The perp was a minority. The leadership fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

"on whiteboards"

Old story from the late sixties...someone wrote on a teacher's chalkboard: Please leave the WASP.

The teacher was upset.

It was kids studying a wasp nest for a science project.

But will they fire and sue the black staffers who faked this and put up the messages?

"IT'S OK TO BE WHITE" was probably the 'racist' message.

“We need to solve problems like these together because it affects all of us and is a problem no one at EPA should experience.” J

Oh, boo hoo. Somebody called somebody a name. Ain't the first time it's happened, won't be the last. Did anyone die? Did anyone get crippled? Can we relax the hyperbole and see this for what it is, just a stupid, childish incident that's really not worth getting all vaporous over?

Quietly place motion sensor cameras at all white board locations.

Add it to the literal fake hate crimes list, since it is 80% likely to be an engineered event to try to prove liberal prejudices correct.
