BROOKFIELD, Ill. A zoo in Illinois is investigating a controversial photo that some are calling racist.
The photo shows a woman wearing a Brookfield Zoo uniform with the caption:
At work serving these rude (expletive) white people.
The photo sparked outrage from some customers and was shared thousands of times on social media.
Zoo officials confirmed the woman is an employee. They said in a statement:
Yesterday, we became aware of the actions of a single employee which we agree are unacceptable. This employees statements in social media are in violation of our policies and do not reflect our institutions values. We have zero tolerance for these kinds of divisive behaviors. We treat all employment matters confidentially, but rest assured that we have taken prompt action to remedy the situation.

-whew-....”controversial photo shot at a zoo” could have been a whole lot worse than that!
To: Citizen Zed
Last month, similar outrage. At least this genius has been fired.

Now see, if this had been someone about to feed some, say, polar bears, I’d have just laughed it off as a clever play on words.

SEEBS thinks it is “controversial” (has several legitimate arguments) and only SOME think it is racist. Mmmm hmmm.

But, does she still have a job?

At this point, I say, “Let’s get it over with.”

Well, “rude” is defined by cultural standards, so maybe, to her,
NOT yelling to your girlfriend across the quad,
speaking discernible English and limiting use of profanity,
and NOT jumping in line if front of others,
and NOT dumping trash all over the place...
are “rude” behaviors.

I am just conjuring up the ‘sh.t storm’ that would have been raised if a WHITE employee said she was tired of......
The White employee would have been given the ‘Go directly to jail, do not collect 200 dollars etc’
When I/we bring up these parallels etc, we get accused of trying to incite a riot, while when the Black says something similar there is just a lot of ‘tsk.tsk.’n’ going on.
