Yeah I posted about this in another thread. I especially like these quotes:


Earl, who is white, has worked for the plant for 34 years. He told CNN there could be "bad actors" like there can be anywhere, but there was no widespread intentional racism.
"Do I believe people are a little too sensitive these days? Absolutely," he said. "What passed 20 years ago doesn't pass today."
"You can't say the things you used to say off the cuff. It doesn't excuse it, but it's not racially motivated statements," he added.
"It's just bad judgment."

People are a little too sensitive, that's the problem. "Bad Judgement" surely only means that they showed bad judgement in getting caught. Someone tells me Earl wasn't fretting too much over the nooses :)

90% of the time this happens it turns out to be a “false flag” if you will. Someone looking to be a victim so they can be part of the movement and such. I would highly suspect that’s the case here as well. It seems too....blatant/fake/absurd.

Is that like 90% of stats are made up on the spot? Where are you getting that figure?

Living around blue collar whites my whole life, this story doesn't seem absurd at all to me. Especially if they are all older workers like good ol Earl there, and if the workers are mostly white.

Hopefully we'll find out if investigations are ongoing. Either way (faking or real) someone needs to be punished severely.

I'd love to know where you get your 90% figure. I have an entire thread of blacks being harassed by white people having LEOs called just because of their existence.

Do you think 90% of these are fake??

Then go through this thread and tell me how many are fake and why.

Nobody denies its not possible to fake these accusations but there is proof racism, anti-semetiam is on a sharp incline since Trump took office. Trump couldn't even bring himself to state publicly Steve King engaged in racist behavior.

When was the last time someone went to court over this kind of false accusation? I think you need to read the articles in the OP more carefully.

As long as people dismiss blatant acts of racism it will continue.

"Examples" doesn't really cut it when you make a claim that 90% of these situations are false flags. Either find some solid data or retract your statement.

I wonder if he would claim that 90% of whites in Africa are liars whenever they claim discrimination. How about females? Are 90% of rape victims liars? Are 90% of children lying when say they got molested? Or is it this just 90% of blacks that lie? Honest question because it sounds racist AF.

I'm going to pull a number out of my ass and claim only 1% of these kind of accusations go to court.

Guaranteed my number is far closer to the facts then UCs

I'm not going to say that this is "highly suspect" but I will at least acknowledge that this has happened in the past.

Similar to rape allegations, I don't believe in the "listen and believe" narrative of accusations of guilt prior to any evidence.

God forbid we have rational thought before frothing at the mouth of accus--- I SAID HE IS FUCKING GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT! CUT OFF HIS HEAD! IF he is found not guilty we will sew it back on.

Since we're just making shit up to make a point, I did too.

Let's take the lead from UC. Think its closer to 90% or 10%? "I don't know" is not an answer, just asking for an educated guess.

I have no argument with that. I will say, however, that it was a lot more virulent & widespread 50 years ago. Which is not to defend it at all. I wasn't raised that way.

Your "statistic" smells as bad as the orifice you pulled it from.
