Racist words are the worst thing in the world, unless uttered by a union member.

But I thought labor unions were left leaning and progressive. So they're exempt from PC wokeness?

wondering...

If somebody is actually from Africa (born there) or say they are African, does saying, “Go back to Africa” racist?

Like telling a German to go back to Europe? Or a Kentuckian in another country being told to “Go back to America”?

And as far as being called a loser, that can apply to anyone.

I would say at worse, it makes only the person(s) who said it guilty of ignorance/stupidity. Not the whole union.

Correction. I just read the full post (laf).
Hey, I AM a freeper!

I see the total jerk layout now.

In another incident, after being asked to lower his voice, he reportedly replied in a mocking tone: “Yes, master, sir. Is this what you look for master, sir?”

[...]But the second [outburst] wasn’t, the judge said. By repeatedly “using slave vernacular,” the man “diverted from his union representational purpose” to engage “a more serious personal attack.”

Heaven forbid an employee should adopt a "mocking" tone!

“Go back to Africa, you bunch of —ing losers!”

Would be interesting to see what happens to a union member that said that out loud to the 0bama family.

FYI: Only 7% of the US private sector workforce is unionized.
