A conservative writer and commentator says she was fired from a radio job and accused of being racist after joking that a brown suit worn by Vice President Kamala Harris looked like a UPS uniform.
“Kamala looks like a UPS employee — what can brown do for you?” Athey’s March 1 tweet read. “Nothing good, apparently.”
Athey was contacted “out of the blue” by Jeff Boden, the vice president of station owner Cumulus Washington, and human resources VP Kriston Fancellas.
“They told me that the tweet I sent about Kamala was ‘racist’ and that subsequent follow-ups defending myself and making fun of the efforts to cancel me were unacceptable,” she recalled. “I had violated the company’s social media policy, they said, and I was terminated effective immediately.”

Accused of racism for saying "brown", even though this is an obvious reference to UPS commercials.

It wasn’t racist and they were stupid to fire her for it.

this is an obvious reference to UPS commercials. Yes, but apparently the radio honchos didn't know that. Because they're stupid, uninformed, and have no sense of humor.
Democrats, in other words.

In current American culture, being an “African-American” is ALL about Race. Nothing else matters.
IOW, most current African-Americans are “Racists”. The liberals have reduced the worth of a large portion of the population to be nothing more than their skin color.
Shame!

I don't get it. Other than the UPS duds, what's brown about Kamala?
I mean--judging by her career--other than her nose.
To: Lurkinanloomin

Any criticism of Kamala Harris is ipso facto ‘racist’. It’s also misogynist.

The Boston mayor is Asian and while giving a speech, made an intended slur about ‘white problems’ when discussing negotiations with the firemen. She then tried to smugly backtrack while smirking that she was talking about ‘snowflakes and snow’ and not a damn thing happened to her.
To: SamuraiScot
She has the brown you get from standing behind Joe too long.
