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."

Retards are terrible at faking hate crimes.
Sounds like a workforce of liberal democrat union members.
Would be quite terrible if true... particularly in a world where virtually all similar stories have been proven to be fake crap and so there is virtually no one left who would believe it. The logical outcome of crying wolf one too many times....
is this another in a long line of racial hoaxes?
The default attitude toward any information from the national media is to assume it’s false unless corroborated by more trusted sources. Sad.
“Hoax” is spelled with any of several combinations of three letters, as in “CNN”, “ABC”, “CBS”, “NBC”, “FOX” (sometimes), “NYT”, “LAT” etc, and occasionally with four letters (hat tip to Slow Joe Biden), as in “MSNBC”.
Exactly! So many moving parts. So few pictures
And they were placed there by leftists to manufacture the racism and allow them to sue and steal money from a corporation.
