Horrific allegations of racism prompt California lawsuit against Tesla
LA Times via Yahoo ^ | 02 11 2022 | Margot Roosevelt, Russ Mitchell

Warning: This story quotes several racist slurs allegedly directed at Black workers at Tesla’s California plant, according to a lawsuit filed against the company.

The N-word and other racist slurs were hurled daily at Black workers at Tesla’s California plant, delivered not just by fellow employees but also by managers and supervisors.

So says California’s civil rights agency in a lawsuit filed against the electric-vehicle maker in Alameda County Superior Court on Thursday on behalf of thousands of Black workers after a decade of complaints and a 32-month investigation.

Tesla segregated Black workers into separate areas that its employees referred to as “porch monkey stations,” “the dark side,” “the slave ship” and “the plantation,” the lawsuit alleges.

Only Black workers had to scrub floors on their hands and knees, and they were relegated to the Fremont, Calif., factory’s most difficult physical jobs, the suit states.

Graffiti — including “KKK,” “Go back to Africa,” the hangman’s noose, the Confederate Flag and “F-- [N-word]” — were carved into restroom walls, workplace benches and lunch tables and were slow to be erased, the lawsuit says.

Tesla responded to the lawsuit, filed by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, with a blog post saying that the agency had investigated almost 50 discrimination complaints in the past without finding misconduct — an assertion the agency denied.

And yet we never hear about lawsuits claiming blacks called someone whitey or ho.

Correct. I'm not buying a word of this story. The left despises Musk exactly because of he's not one of their bootlickers. And I would bet that after an intensive investigation, it will be found that this is another false flag event.

It’s not as if anything they say has to be true or have any evidence.

The fascists are the law now.

My thoughts exactly. Elon Musk has to be cancelled for his political views. That doesn’t automatically make the allegations true or not true, but if he was woke, the allegations wouldn’t see the light of day. He’d get the same privileges that Brandon gets for his racist views and deviant behavior.

This simply can’t be true. Only southern states have people that are racist. Everyone knows that. The PROC is utopia and everyone there is woke.

I simply do not believe this report from the la times via yahoo. Neither of these are reputable news organizations. This is propaganda.

I called this a year ago. Musk says what he thinks and he doesn't think much of government. Inside agitators. Union troubles. Regulatory inquest. Supplier clamp downs. Raw materials shortages.

Reardon Metals, Atlas Shrugged kinda stuff.

Musk is not being a good crony-capitalist. If he got back in line, he will continue to get government favors. If not - he'll get a visit from weaponized AG's and the DOJ.

“Deep state must make Musk pay for not towing the Leftist line.”

That is exactly what is going on. He is not to badmouth the Biden Regime.

Yeah. Sure. We believe that. 🙄🙄🙄

There should be plenty of video to prove their case, right?
