Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) issued a warning to leaders of Black Lives Matter and Antifa that "rioting will not be tolerated in our state. You may get away with this kind of destructive action in Portland, but not here." The Governor added that "truly peaceful protests are protected by the First Amendment, but the minute you harm somebody else, or you harm somebody's property, the way we're going to stop it is to have very swift penalties for it."
Vice-President Kamala Harris, called DeSantis' stance "inherently racist. His notion that a peaceful demonstration is the only legitimate way to protest is 'white thinking.' After 400 years of oppression by white folks, people of color have earned the right to lash out at any and all members of the race that has oppressed them. This includes looting and burning of their property. Whites who attempt to violate this right do so at their own risk."
Harris said "coming on the heels of the Jim Crow voting law that he just signed, it appears that DeSantis is trying to goad civil rights champions like Black Lives Matter and Antifa into confrontation with Florida police. Let me issue a warning to him. Any use of force to impede the actions of these groups will trigger the dispatch of federal troops to ensure the safety of the protesters. The choice the Governor has to face is whether he will respect a woke mode of protest and the modicum of damage done or whether he prefers to be displaced by marshal law. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has already faced this type of situation and has chosen wisely. He's still Mayor and is not under arrest."

LOL,
All of these terms: racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobic, misogynist, islamophobia... they are ALL simply ad hominem attacks intended to silence any opposing thought most of the time.
If you have no argument, if you cannot win with logic, being consistent and making an argument either deductive or inductive, you simply throw a word like “racist” out there and everyone knows they need to kneel or even prostrate themselves or else face harsh criticism and consequences.
To be called a “racist” is among the worst thing imaginable especially if it sticks, and it is known that you need to immediately apologize, recant, and pay homage to some new PC priest.
On the other hand... if it’s not a “special emphasis group or protected class” then you can make fun of them all you want, in the most vile way, stereotyping, etc. So for example, Catholic Priests and Russians are fair game, but a gay person or a black, be very careful. BTW, what Hollywood movie portrays Catholic Priests in a positive way? What Hollywood movie (last 30 years) portrays gays in a negative way? What open minded, inclusion, and tolerance really means is open season on these people, but off limits for those people.
DeSantis is an American Hero.. We need more administrators like him, now.
The other employee had never met this supervisor. So my guy was describing him. He told her that he was "super gay". Note, this particular individual is gay. He doesn't hide it in the least. He is very effeminate. He talks like a stereotypical gay guy. If you have a conversation with him, he very likely will let you know that he is gay. He can't go three sentences without referring to his husband. He has rainbow stickers on his equipment. He jokes about his homosexuality.
So my guy calls him "super gay". It is an apt description. In this day and age of gay pride and gay acceptance, it is in my opinion, no different than describing someone as bald, or overweight.
The customer raised an issue that is going to lead to a human resource inquiry.
“To be called a “racist” is among the worst thing imaginable”
Not if you do not give a shiite about it.
That beech needs to sit down and shut up.
It’s still illegal to assault people or destroy their businesses, whether you happen to be black or not, call in the military because he upholds the law and you’ll start CWII.
I don’t think she realizes she’s not dealing with one of the bush clan
