It took 14 months for the noose to show up.
Fourteen months where Marcus Boyd says he endured racist comments, slights, even threats in a hostile workplace run by General Motors.
A workplace where people declared bathrooms were for "whites only," where black supervisors were denounced as "boy" and ignored by their subordinates, where black employees were called "monkey," or told to "go back to Africa."
A workplace where black employees were warned a white colleague's "daddy" was in the Ku Klux Klan. Where white workers wore shirts with Nazi symbols underneath their coveralls.
In Ohio.
In 2018.
All those allegations are detailed in a lawsuit filed against GM in which eight workers say managers at the Toledo Powertrain plant did little or nothing to stop racism.
For Boyd, it began on his first day. He said he could feel the glare from white team members as if they were saying, "Who's he to be in charge of them?"

And then Brooks found a noose hanging in the area where he worked. As the only black employee in that space on his shift, he believed it was aimed to intimidate him.
It was a breaking point, the beginning of the end of his career -- and that of Boyd -- at GM. Not just because the noose had been hung. But because of how GM allegedly reacted.
That first noose, and then a second, then third, fourth and fifth were all reported to GM, according to the lawsuit Boyd and eight other black employees have filed against the company for allowing an "underlying atmosphere of violent racial hate and bullying."

Sounds like someone is fishing for a pay day
Hoping GM would just settle this for 50 or a 100K so he would just go away
“He said he could feel the glare from white team members as if they were saying...”
So he knows what they’re thinking? ...that’s just putting words in their mouths.
Sounds like this guy might be paranoid. That said, many blacks have been brainwashed into thinking all white people are racist.
sounds delusional with paranoid presentation.
Who knows?
The camera footage will tell.
If this had been my experience and it really happened, I would have taken photos and videos and posted them all over the internet that night. Why do folks wait so long to report “crimes”?
BULLSHIT. B U L L S H I T.
How can this be, B B King went to work on the Cadillac assembly line to escape the racism of Mississippi. With his first check, he put his girl on a Delta jet. The auto plants for seventy years or more have been noted by blacks as a way to escape the Racial B. S. in the south. This guy and his comrades are looking for a quick payday. How many good decent people of all colors would have loved to have that job for the last 14 months.
Does this sound like hogwash to anybody else?
Of course not. This is another way of getting money for not working.
I might be a teen, but I know BS.
Agreed.
or, you could just say "CNN" for short.
Proof! Or it did not happen!
I’m inclined to call b.s. but seeing as how Baraq Soetoro stole GM from the stockholders and gave it to his RAT Union friends, I can see where this might happen. The RAT party is the creator of racism, nooses and whites only facilities.
Another hoax.
Theoretically this could have happened. Or it could just be another in a never ending line of shake-down accusations. I’m guessing the latter.
But your second sentence almost implies it COULD be real.
Yes, there are so many parts it seems hard to believe its all made up. Hoaxes usually are very compact and often involve only one witness of the right kind.
It seems too fantastic, but at the same time thats a whole lot to lie about. Lying about too much runs the risk of being found out.
Sounds like an employee fired for cause who needs to dredge up the race card to save his sorry a$$.
BS, I don’t believe this crap for a moment.
