Exxon Mobil was sued by a federal agency for alleged racial discrimination against a Black employee after the worker found a hangman's noose at his worksite at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, facility. It was one of several nooses found at the plant over a number of years, which the company failed to adequately address, according to the government.
Milferd McGhee, a Black employee who has worked at the Exxon plant since 2010, found a noose at his workplace in January 2020, according to the lawsuit from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which was filed on Thursday.
McGhee, who was aware that three previous nooses had been found at the Baton Rouge facility, reported the issue to his supervisor. Exxon wasn't able to determine who left the nooses, and the company recommended additional steps to remedy racial harassment in the workplace, the suit states.
However, the energy giant "did not complete all the measures recommended in its investigative report to remedy the harassment" — and a fifth noose was discovered at the same plant in December 2020, according to the suit.
In a statement emailed to CBS News, Exxon said it disagrees with the EEOC's findings and allegations.

Sooner or later we’ll see a security video of the black guy hanging up the nooses.
What will Milferd’s cut be?
Is Exxon behind in its protection money payments?
So a massively large, likely woke company like Exxon is putting up nooses? Okie doke. Uh huh.
Of course, we know the perps and the outcome.
Wanna bet?
No I don’t believe it. Probably hoax
probably garage door pulls like the Nascar nonsense awhile back
Both common sense and past fictions compel one to disbelieve every word of this charade.
What a lie. Nooses have been used on all sorts of people of various races for executions. Nooses do not discriminate.
Those 2020 nooses were more likely put there as dark humor during the covid epidemic.

Could have just as easily found fire hoses, Also symbols of racism.
It’s even racist to have mirrors in any bathroom. Might see oneself and be triggered.
Black gold...
Perhaps Justice Kavanaugh should’ve put up a noose on his front lawn when those baby killers were protesting at his house. Betchya Derelict Garland would’ve demanded arrests made, even at night.
If it’s white people’s fault that blacks commit hate crime hoaxes ... you might be a Democrat.

Is there a legal definition of “noose”? We have seen that it can be a loop in a cord to facilitate grabbing it, or a random piece of toilet paper that some think is a “noose.”
The undefined, fuzzy concept of “noose” is just another one of those multiple traps that have been set to catch Whiteys as they do nothing wrong.
And the involved department, i.e. HR is stacked with just the types to make sure the FEDs get their extorting ways.
Money, money, money, money....

I wish these KKK wanabees would stop their crap. It makes whites look horrible.
Someone looking for a better retirement package.
