Red Cross women accused of Racism for showing Patriotism
MyFreePress ^ | 10/29/2009 | Jason

Posted on 10/29/2009 8:37:22 AM PDT by myfreepress

My mother works at the Red Cross, and she liked the Don't Tread On Me stickers I made. She decided to take a couple of them to work and show them to a couple of her co-workers. When she did, one of the African Americans at her job, stood up and started shouting and calling her a racist. He yelled "We love Obama and you are racist!" My mother has never had a racist bone in her body, she is a good women who works hard and just believes our Country is going down the wrong path, and is proud of her son for standing up against it.

The day after this incident, HR came in and asked her to show them the sticker. They said "You don't think this is racist?" She came over to my house yesterday in tears and told me she had to take the sticker off her car, and couldn't take any of them to her job. I was outraged and wanted her to put the stickers all over her car and park next to this guy tomorrow. She is worried she will lose her job. Since she is a single women and doesn't make much money, she fears standing up for her Freedom of Speech. What has this Country come to?

Please visit my site and post your comments. My mother follows my site and needs the encouragement. Thank you for your support

You will probably see me more involved in the blogger section since I trust my fellow Americans more then the media

This is fine.

“You have no 1st amendment rights once you enter your place of employment. “

But you do have the right not to be assault and called a racist.

It’s against FR policy for you to carry grudges from previous threads to a new unrelated thread and continue your attacks. It’s called stalking and it’s creepy, dude.

Go back to your birth/vetter/eligibility threads and abuse people there. This thread is unrelated to eligibility.

That was my thinking. Isn’t it defamation of character to call someone a racist with no basis reason?

If your mother was a liberal, she would already be looking for a lawyer to file suit against her employer.

Sometimes we may need to employ their own tactics against them?

I added an update that my mom told me not to forget that makes it much worse. This guy locked her out of the office when she went to the break room to escape from his harassment.

I’m with you. I stopped donating to the Red Cross and United Way years ago.
It is all Salvation Army.

If I was your mother I would have said :

“Fine, you’re the boss. You say it comes off, it comes off. Is it the policy of the Red Cross to ban all bumper stickers from cars? Does it apply to the bumper stickers we see during an election? Does it apply to bumper stickers such as “Support Our Troops?” Is this an across the board policy? Are you requiring the “Hope & Change” bumper stickers be removed from cars as well? When can I expect my apology from the person who made a charge of racism because she did not agree with a political sentiment? “
