Another tragic day in A-merry-ca.


As painful as this next subject is to blog about, I can't shy away from it. And if any of you reading this lost a loved one or a friend in that tragic work place shooting today, you might not want to read any more.

I was ready to write post about Negroes in A-merry-ca and when we started killing people after losing our jobs. (You Negroes know you don't care about getting fired). It is, after all, just a job. We are used to getting f&*%%d over in the work place. White folks, on the other hand, not so much. If you fire a white man you damn well better have a good reason, because it is not something he takes lightly. The term going postal has always somewhat of an "oxymoronic" feel to it. All those black folks working at the post office, and I guarantee you that you will never see one of them taking out their co-workers because of a perceived slight or injustice surrounding the workplace.

Then I saw this tragic story in Connecticut, and I thought to myself, wow. Omar Thornton totally shattered all the stereotypes that I bought into when it comes to workplace shootings.
Anyway, I read an article today that made me think that it was not just about him losing his job, but why he lost it. The author (who is black) was lamenting the loss of self control by the younger black generation when they suffer the sting of racism.

"Thornton shot a number of people, and as of this writing, it's not known how many because what once stood at seven killed just rose to nine killed, so we don't know how many were injured in some kind of way. Here's the exact quote from the Hartford Courant regarding Omar Thornton's possible motive for the shooting at Hartford Distributors:
Joanne Hannah, who lives in the Enfield neighborhood where Thornton lived until about a month ago, said her daughter Kristi had dated Thornton for eight years. Thornton, who is black, had complained about being racially harassed at work. Thornton brought his complaints to his superiors, who did nothing about it, she said her daughter told her.

A New Trend: blacks who kill over racism

It seems there's a new and to this blogger, disturbing "small" trend of late where black men are as likely to commit workplace shootings as any white male.

The last person that comes to mind was was porn star Stephen Hill in Van Nuys, California, who, in June, went off and killed one person and stabbed another at the Ultima DVD office. Hill was black, and like Thornton, was about to be fired from his job. In Hill's case, he was called a "wacky guy" and no one mentioned racism. But then, no one who was close to him was interviewed at the time.

This is disturbing because I and my generation (I turn 48 tomorrow) was raised to be hardened and to expect racism, to point it out, but to not react violently to it.

Because racism is a mental illness, people who are racist are to be treated with pity and avoided. That's the way I'm conditioned to think.

Frankly, you just didn't hear of someone black who would open fire and kill anyone over racism. We were instructed that it was a sickness that's "just part of the deal" and something you needed to overcome to be successful.

This small trend says nothing good about the overall mental strength of the next generation of black men. If one who's black and make [sp] expects to be successful in America, reacting violently to racism can't be considered an option." [Article]


Hmmm. OK. Of course one should not react violently to anything. That is not how civilized human beings should act. Right people?

I saw on CNN tonight that Thornton suffered a lot of racial taunts at work, and when he was told that he would be let go he snapped. "I killed the five racist that were bothering me" he allegedly said.

"Holliday said Thornton had been complaining to relatives that in the several years he worked at Hartford Distributors he was confronted with blatant racism.

PICTURES: Hartford Distributors Shooting

Holliday said, "He had some instances of racism at the company. They were hanging nooses in the bathroom and writing stuff like that. They were singling him out because he was the only black person there in that area."

Thornton's family said he had taken pictures of the threats and said they believe he just snapped Tuesday morning.

They said they expressed condolences to the families of the victims, but they said they were mourning, too."

"This all could have been avoided," Holliday said. "He went to the Union a couple of times with issues concerning what was going on, and it was not dealt with appropriately." [Article]

He is not alone, others have killed in the work place with underlying racial motives, but the scope of this carnage and tragedy today was incomprehensible. And let's not forget the families of those poor souls who lost their lives, they did not deserve this, and neither does our country.

Finally, I have to leave you with an other tragic story: I am talking about the one in Northern Louisiana where six children lost their lives after drowning while their family members watched.

Black people, this is not funny anymore; please teach your children how to swim. Schools offer swimming lessons, they can learn at the local Y, and there are various city programs geared to teaching swimming to young children. I can't imagine the horror of watching your own child drown and not being able to do anything about it.

"The two families had come to the area for a cookout, and the teenagers waded into the shallows, about 10 feet from the bank, said Cindy Chadwick, a public information officer for the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Department. About 10 minutes later, the teenagers began coming back to shore when one boy slipped on the slick riverbed and fell into deep water.

“All of sudden, there was nothing underneath him,” Ms. Chadwick said.

The teenagers went to help, but neither they nor the other family members knew how to swim. There was one life jacket on hand, which they threw into the river.

“Family members saw them go in and screamed for help,” Mr. Sanders said. “There were some other citizens along the beach area that came to the rescue.”

The fire department was called around 6:30 p.m., Mr. Sanders said. Dive teams came shortly afterward to recover the bodies of the victims, a search that took hours. " [Article]

Sad, just sad.

My cousin who lives in Shreveport just told me that they had closed the swimming pool in the city for blacks, so that black had no where to learn how to swim, but kept the swimming pools in the city for whites opened. The swimming pool had been closed for five years.

When I read the surnames, I had to call and make sure that it wasn't any of our kinfolks. Thank God it wasn't, but my heart and prayers goes out to the two families who lost their loved ones.

DuchessDee said...

FN, i never learned to swim, but i have taken my girls to the Y to learn how to swim and have them take a refresher every year. Its called "Swim Safe". It is only $10 per child and is offered every June. My fear was at camp where the counselors are so into one antoher no one is watching the children. my heart breaks for the mothers. But i tell you, if it was me i would have jumped in and died trying to save them. a mother's love knows no boundries.

As for the Shooter in Conneticut, I have been dealing with racist bosses for a lifetime. my heart is hard. I sometimes hate it but i know i have to work twice as hard to be equal yet still not. its tragic when you become so beaten down and fed up that your rage takes you to a devastating dark place. bullying in the work place or in school it appears it just doesnt end!

Trapped in SC said...

My heart goes out to those families of the children that died.

I can understand why that guy in Connecticut went off, altough i don't condone it in any way. It's telling that he was fired and received a hearing in regards to the allegations that he stole something, but he had little or no recourse when it came to the possibility of racist co-workers. At the very least, I'm betting that the people at that company are wishing now that they have been a little more proactive in responding to this young man's concerns.

I think instead of having a generation of black folks who are stoically resigned to the prevalence of racism, we have a generation of young black people who see the lives of the elders they care about drained and bent but not broken, and they've made the determination that they have earned a certain modicum of respect, and that respect will be forthcoming, and the penalty for not showing respect for me, my existence, and for being at the very least, a person, are penalties ranging from a look of distain to the very ending of your life.

I feel sad for the loss of life, but in a fairer world, it could have been avoided.

Anonymous said...

What an idiotic post, field. You take at face value the statements of the man's family and just assume he was racially harassed, AND that is some sort of justification for killing 9 people! The stories I have heard stated the man was suspected to have been stealing from work. In any event, the facts are not all in, but that doesn't stop you from already coming to a conclusion.

"If you fire a white man you damn well better have a good reason, because it is not something he takes lightly."

Such utter bullshit. White men are the only ones you can fire today without being accused of racism. White men have borne the brunt of the job losses during this recession. You should have a clue about what you are talking about before you post it on your blog.

A tragedy all round. It's always a shame when someone decides that to go "out with a bang" is the only solution. That's the coward's solution.

I find the unproven, unsubstantiated allegations of racism as motivated fascinating. This is annus of racius unprovenus, isn't it? The news reports stated that the Union rep had NO reports of allegations of racism on file, and that he was never approached with these alleged "incidents".

However, I am sure within 24 hrs, this will all be firm "truth" within the AA community. Never let a few facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Oy. Where to start. Oh, I know. @anon: you gutless wonder. That could be the very same attitude that got people killed. Hanging nooses? As one who had one of those damn things directed at, you show just how clueless you are. It's not funny. And it's not something you freaking make up. You are a clown and I hope there is reincarnation. Because you just sealed your fate in the next life.

White folk should get on their knees every night and give thanks that more of us haven't lost it. No we take it out on each other.

That story about the kids in Louisiana was hard to hear about. What a tragedy.

And I'm with you, Mr. Field, when the story about the workplace shooter came on I was shocked to see that he was Black. I hope the entire story comes out about the racism at his workplace. Maybe people will think twice before racially harassing someone at work.

And off-topic: A pregnant woman named Trudie Hall, who is Black, is missing. She was last seen in the Nantucket, Massachusetts area last Tuesday.

SickandFedup:
It will be interesting to see as part of the formal investigation that these allegations of "nooses" etc are indeed true, as that would be something truly difficult to "cover up", or if again, it's just more BS and lies which we have come to expect from the aggrieved progressive/marxist/black liberation wing of the AA community. Who knows, maybe Madonna Constantine snuck over and laid it on out there -- after all, she was facing a firing too and had to come up with a good "race" tale to spin to deflect from her own deficiencies.

You're sick and fed up? So is the majority of America -- fed up with the lies, the race-baiting, the shakedowns and the bullshit.

YOUR chickens are coming home to roost.

Ooo.. Val admits her biased ignorance and then goes on to show us she digs the fact that a black guy killed some white people, and hopes that will teach all white folks a lesson.

I knew you were stupid, I didn't kow your were that sick.

Nevermind the fact that you have no real idea whether the man was racially harassed or not, you still rationalize and justify murder. Pathetic.

Yeah, nothing like a little tangential threat of mob violence against whites to make your point.

Get real.

Chickenshits like you advocate Marchin' Lootin' Burnin' in neighborhoods where it's "safe" for you to pull those stunts -- like beating up on poor Korean shopowners who have the AUDACITY to work hard and exercise thrift!

Not a single one of you chickens has the courage to march on the zipcodes in the tony parts of Manhattan or Conn or Beverly Hills or Malibu against the real power structure. Nuh-uh.

Give it up. Like I said, the majority of America is sickandfedup with the race-baiting, the threats, the lies.

Which is why The Weak One has lost independents.

And why his O-Ness doesn't need to even address the issues of the black community. You'll be in the booth, drooling on yourselves, pulling that "D" level whether or not anything of real merit is done for the black community. Which is why Blanche got a cool bundle, and the AA community didn't.

But don't let me point out the obvious.

Just keep on keeping on with the threats, the race-baiting, the fake allegations, and calling out successful conservative blacks as "sell outs". That's REALLY going to help your cause.

GrannyStandingforTruth said...

First of all, I've never in my entire life advocated looting, burning, or violence towards anyone. I know how and do get along with people of a different color in my community. As far as threats are concerned, looks like those have been coming from whites these days. You know the threat of civil war. I didn't see any black folks rushing out and buying up guns and stocking up on ammunition. Nope, it wasn't us.

Second, I'm sick and tired too of racism in this country. I'm sick and tired of some folks who seem to think that they are better than any other group of people on this earth, especially when they eat, have a bowel movement, and die just like the rest of us. I'm sick and tired of the games played pretending that this is "post-racial" America when it just as hate-filled as it was before slavery and Jim Crow ended. Oh, don't get me started on what I'm sick and tired of.

You take it upon yourself to assume too much about people, but some of what you said is very telling.

GrannyStandingforTruth said...

You want us to shut up and pretend that we're living in that "Post-Racial" America and be satisfied with the crumbs off the table and it doesn't matter that we contributed to the whole meal, just take what these crumbs and be happy.

BTW, talk about threats, your last two post have been nothing but threats.

Mack Lyons said...

But it does. That's why you're attacking Granny with all your might. Because the prospect of black people lashing out against whites who engage in discrimatory acts scares the living shit out of you.

Any wonder why some of the Tea Party elements are walking around armed while waving those "Dont Tread On Me" flags? Because they fear the prospect of blacks lashing out at them more than they fear their own government. These guys are literally pissing themselves scared.

And Anon is just one out of many of those folks who are literally streaming fountains of fear.

Apparently, he prefers the image of the servile coloreds he grew up with as a kid. Harmless, gleeful and ready to serve the White man with joy, and never a threat to any White person, ever. The servile colored always knew his or her place and never had the audacity to rise above it.

That's what Anon apparently grew up with, is fond of and longs for. He's probably disappointed that you aren't some stereotypical "Mammy" and absolutely refuse to cater to his "Mammy" fetish.

Many of you may not like what I have to say.

I've been harassed, tormented, lied upon, locked in a bathroom, threatened, and fired from a previous job under erroneous claims, all because I was new, kept to myself and therefore declared a plant. To this date I haven't killed anyone.

It doesn't matter to me what color Omar or the victims were. I don't care if they hung nooses, called him the n word every day or cheated him on his pay. I don't care if they hassled him because he had a white girlfriend. You DO NOT take other lives because you want to, and with such extreme means and premeditation to boot. I am sure there was somebody out there who felt they had reason to riddle him with bullets, or knock his head off once upon a time, but they didn't. He had other options, he could have seek legal council, a therapist, a new job, write a journal or move on to greener pastures.

No sympathy from me, I hope they give him the death penalty.

Well, I hate to be the one to rain on his parade, but I'm not mealey-mouth online or in person. I come from a family who believes in standing up for what they believe in and what's right. It's in my blood!

And I believe that all people are created equal and entitled to the same benefits and freedoms in America. I am not better than no one and they are not better than me, we are the same!

On another note, this is why more workplaces need to start taking complaints of workplace bullying and harassment much more SERIOUSLY.

On the contrary; I agree with you completely. Well, maybe except for the death penalty part.

Also, they claim he killed himself, though how he did that after they overpowered him and sequestered him in an office wasn't quite explained. You'd think they would make sure he was unarmed.

@Granny

The article I read in the NYTimes this afternoon actually said this:

“He was alive when police responded,” Chief Montminy said. “Police began clearing the building. He was funneled into an office area and took his own life,”

which I originally thought meant that they actively sequestered him, but now I realize I may have misunderstood.

GrannyStandingforTruth said...

@Race Traitoress:

I think I get it now, he was cornered and felt like before he let the police take him, he'd take his own life. Smh! I tell you, you don't know what to expect to hear in the news nowadays. This world is slowing winding down to an end.

GrannyStandingforTruth said...

When tragedies like this happen, I can't help but wonder if some of the victims pleaded for their life, or were too paralyze with fear to think, or did they even sense that day that it would be their last day on earth. Sometimes life itself is a bummer.

So many black and brown children have drowned this summer- there have been a number of drownings at NYC area beaches too.

We must teach our children to swim- no excuses. My youngest will start lessons this year- he's 4. My older girls- 10 and 14 have been swimming since kindergarten.

Awaiting all the facts about the CT shooting before making a final judgement. I think the blogger is on to something about the lack of self-control among SOME of our younger men. My folks taught me and my brothers to turn the other cheek and to not steal.

Being subjected to racism sucks, but as long as you keep your hands off of me- I can go elsewhere to process other people's stupidity.

My maternal grandparents were born on the coastal sea islands of South Carolina and grew up as swimmers and watermen.

My brother sister and I learned to swim as toddlers.

This phenomenon of blacks not swimming is fairly recent and I believe a result of living in landlocked urban areas without to waterways.

Also lack of access to sound swimming and water safety instruction.

granny, you are one sick and twisted liar when you say you never advocate violence against whites. I remember the story where some elderly white woman had allegedly said to a line-cutting black woman in a store that "you'd better respect me because I'm white".

You posted something to the effect that if she'd said that to you, "she'd be picking up her teeth off the floor among all the shell casings".

But I guess that snake field deleted that, to hide the evidence. Lucky you're not a Christian, granny - else you'd be worried about burning in hell for the way you constantly try to spur anti-white hatred.

One thing's for sure : every negro who is stealing at work is today taking a noose to work and photographing it. That way there's 'evidence' that he's the true victim.

mellaneous said...

What up brother Field. That Ct thing was just wild and even though anon works my nerves with his failure to id himself and his condescension ( which he is obviously not aware of), but he is right its always a good idea to wait for more facts.

But I get your point you are saying, what if racist taunts did cause Omar to snap? I don't think anyone is actually condoning his actions.


But you make a good point, it is possible that some folks can snap and not handle harrassment well.

And having fought many folks labor fight I can tell you that nooses and other kinds of racist harassment definitely occur in the workplace and have occurred from Florida to Alabama to Indiana to Minnesota. It is well documented that black workers --especially when they are the first black or one of a very few --have gotten the worst kind of harassment. So anon doesn't know what he is talking about.

From my experience its very beleivable for a black worker to recieive that kind of harrassment in the work place.

It goes beyond saying that attacking your tormenters is not the way to handle it.

But I am going to go on record and say that its wrong to hang nooses and to harass folks on the job. And instead of just shaking our heads about it we should acknowledge it and do what we can to work for a society in which folks don't have to put up with that kind of non sense anywhere.

And that includes that pesky anon who conveniently overlooks the very real crap that black folks have to put up with, to run over to this blog and put us in check for our so-called moral failings.

Talk about pulling planks out of your own eye....

And why are Americans so shocked about violence. Everything about out society has violent undertones. From the violence of letting folks sleep on the streets or go hungry. Or the violence that results from undereducating some folks children. And the violence of racism and poverty in general.

And more specifically if we want to talk about real violence this government has our children bombing and killing other folks children in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and who knows where else who have done nothing to us personally.

uptownsteve said...

The only time violence has a racial connotation to it is when blacks commit it.

White boys can shoot up schools and workplaces as they have in scores over the last 3 decades and not a word about "race" is spoken.

But let Colin Ferguson go off on the LI Railroad or the DC Snipers shootin up the Beltway and it's race 24/7 in addition to being profiled on A&E every month.

Anonymous said...

If the guy snapped over racism, why did he never report any of these incidents to the union? Not even once... Why did he shoot people that were apparently not involved? Why shoot the guy who represented you at your disciplinary hearing? He told his mom he shot five racists, so why did he shoot all those other folks?

whenever muslims murder innocent unarmed people, the muslim organizations stay mostly silent. Just like the NAACP today. Just like SPLC, run by that jewish supremacist who uses blacks to further his own glory.

But muslims always do eventually get around to: here are the *reasons* why those people were murdered, they are all guilty anyway and we are always victims.

What's the diff between a sharia school and a black racist blog like this? Nothing. After years of preaching victimhood and hate, the murders naturally follow. the killers have been convinced that they're justified.

What was murderer Omar's nick on this blog? Did he call himself field jr?

Anonymous said...

if the killer Omar was victim of a 'racist' company, why did they not call the police when he was caught stealing? They even let him resign so I guess he wouldn't be fired on record.

Or is that he had stolen many times, suspected he was caught, and therefore manufactured 'racism' charges as his way to excuse himself... he was the true victim.

And of course the press is pushing that victimhood galore.

Btw, his skanky gf is jewish, not white. Omar thinks that any jewess is better than having a black gf. People who kiss jew but, like field and steve, should love that angle.

I, too, was subjected to harassment in the workplace for almost three years. (Continued and sustained.) In my case, it wasn't co-workers, upper management was complicit.

So, let's just say, I didn't and wouldn't have struck back with a violent act - but I understand!

Instead, I filed a formal suit. That act alone allowed me to feel less like a victim and afforded some measure of empowerment - that I was defending my integrity and exercising my legal rights.

When you feel like a victim and that is how I am assuming Omar Thornton felt (if he was harassed), eventually you will strike out and strike back.

Thornton, though, chose a most unfortunate weapon.

I see you have a selective memory because you left out the part where she spit on the woman. Deny? Puleeze, I didn't studder, nor did my fingers get frozen on the keyboard, nor did I lie.

I told the truth because out here on the West Coast, the wild wild west, had she done that, she more than likely would have been picking her teeth off the floor among the shell casings. These people out here do not play.

Nah, see you got it all wrong, I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't have tried to tear her head off if she spit in my face. Now, that's when I would have been lying. I told the truth!

Before you all go getting teary-eyed and sympathetic with Omar, and blaming race for his craziness, you might should wait till all the facts come out...including this, from the NYT:

"The police also said on Wednesday that while Mr. Thornton kept his intentions from his own family, his hiding the handguns in his lunchbox showed that what he did was premeditated. “He made no comment to his family,” Lieutenant Davis said. “Obviously if he brings that into work that, obviously, is something he is thinking of doing.”

Mr. Thornton had been trailed for about three weeks by a private investigator hired by the company, the police said, and that person apparently observed him take beer while on his route. The company had video documenting his theft, and when Mr. Thornton reviewed it in his disciplinary hearing, he calmly remarked “how good their surveillance camera was,” Lieutenant Davis said.

Mr. Thornton then took a moment outside with his union representative to discuss his course of action, and signed the one-sentence resignation letter. His escorts brought him to the kitchenette next door, and when he retrieved his guns, they were Mr. Thornton’s first victims.

I honestly want to believe Thornton had a personal attitude problem outside of "workplace harassment". I am not saying there wasn't racism, but I'll be willing to bet Thornton's poor attitude may have greatly contributed to the interpersonal issues he had with his white co-workers to begin with.

uptownsteve said...

Yeah, you know how difficult us bm's can be.

grinder said...

We are used to getting f&*%%d over in the work place. White folks, on the other hand, not so much. If you fire a white man you damn well better have a good reason, because it is not something he takes lightly.

As you know, I rarely comment here any more for reasons I've already given and therefore would be redundant to rehash. But I check in from time to time, and comment occasionally, and this is one of those times.

Thornton is a thief and a murderer. I am inclined to believe that he was targeted at work, but I'd want to hear more details from the union before accepting every detail. But even if every detail was true, it does not justify murder. It really doesn't even explain it, because the sad fact is that people are harassed at work every day, for all kinds of reasons, and don't come in blasting away as a result.

And then there was the theft, which was after all the cause of his dismissal. It isn't explained or justified by the harassment he mentioned, even if all the details are true.

Yeah, I realize that I will be seen here by some as a cold-blooded white racist, eager to dismiss a black man's complaint. So be it. But, for the record, I do not dismiss it. I am saying that it doesn't justify or really even explain murder, nor does it explain or justify theft. The old saying: Two wrongs doesn't make a right, applies here.

As for white people "not so much" getting fucked over in the workplace, I don't even know where to start. Rather than go off on a long, detailed litany and rant, complete with things that happened to me and other things that happened (and still happen) to white friends and acquaintances, I'm just going to tell you, field, that you are wrong as can be on that one.

Sure, no white person is called a nigger at work, or has nooses hung on his locker. Do you really think those are the only ways to fuck people over? Yup, lots of black people get thoroughly screwed, but your group doesn't even begin to have a monopoly on suffering or injustice, and to even suggest that is about as myopic as it gets.

maria said...

grinder--i think you are in agreement with most posters.

he probably was harassed.

his response was wrong and murder isn't justified.

however, i'm NOT willing to call him a thief at this point. not enough info. how many other drivers might have been doing the same as him? maybe it was allowed. maybe all the bosses did it.

maybe there was entrapment? i have not read that the thefts were "sudden."

maybe they "got" him on "theft" so that they didn't have to pay employment. or face a discrimination complaint. maybe he knew if he complained he'd get fired.

his options were resign or be fired? seriously, if that was all he did, was that a firing offense? why not probation, make him pay for the wares, take him off the road for a while.

why did they need THAT many people at his "meeting" that morning?

GrannyStandingforTruth said...

I think that where the confusion comes in at is that some whites are saying that Omar was not subjected to any racism and harrassment on the job. Whereas, some blacks are saying that it is likely that he did and that racism and harrassment does exist on a job where there is one or two blacks working there. So now, how does that justify murder?

And grinder, yes, white gays suffer too, if that is what you're talking about, but the majority of whites do not suffer injustice on jobs. I used to work for Office for Civil Rights and the complaints of discrimination, racism, and harassment did not come from whites. Nope, sorry!

Nope. Didn't say anyone did. Just gave my opinion about it.

The only real complaint I had was with field's message that somehow white people don't get seriously fucked with at work. While it's true that not too many white people get racially fucked with, the idea that white people sail through their jobs like a Big Mac through a well-greased digestive tract is egregious bullshit. Black people have no monopoly on being fucked over.

i'm NOT willing to call him a thief at this point. not enough info. how many other drivers might have been doing the same as him? maybe it was allowed. maybe all the bosses did it.

Hell, they had the guy dead to rights on video. Even he didn't argue that one, and there's been no suggestion from anyone involved that the whole workforce was a nest of beer thieves.

Sometimes things are what they seem to be.

Alicia,

I understand that you weren't defending Omar's killing spree.

I think you understand if you kill a person's spirit, you're only a step away from that slippery slope.

Of course, this is a tragedy all around - the victims, their families - the murderer, his family. My heart goes out to all of them.

grinder said...

And grinder, yes, white gays suffer too, if that is what you're talking about, but the majority of whites do not suffer injustice on jobs. I used to work for Office for Civil Rights and the complaints of discrimination, racism, and harassment did not come from whites. Nope, sorry!

People get fucked over on the job for all kinds of reasons, or for no reason at all. A lot of it has nothing to do with any of the grounds that could justify a civil rights complaint.

I'm retired now, but I spent enough decades in the trenches to have witnessed all manner of bullshit. Classic civil rights complaints are only one facet of the world of fucked-up working conditions. I am not dismissing civil rights complaints at all, but only saying that anyone who thinks that's the only way to suffer at work is naive, ignorant, complacent, or just plain lying.

The idea that white people don't get screwed over at work is so outlandish that it's impossible to know where to even begin that conversation. I can imagine how the commenters here would float that leaky boat, but it surprises me that field would put it into the water. He usually has more sense.

Mr. Thornton had been trailed for about three weeks by a private investigator hired by the company, the police said, and that person apparently observed him take beer while on his route.

doesn't it seem strange that the company would pay all that money to trail him for three weeks to see if they could? what? still a six pack of beer? that sounds a little fishy.:)

physical violence is not the answer to verbal abuse, but there seems like there might be something more to this story.

anon 3:51,

There are many school districts where the high schools don't have swimming pools. Some of those schools were built during Jim Crow that were for Black students didn't have pools where the white schools had them. I don't know that many high public schools in Philly that have pools, either. Very few Boys and Girls clubs have pools and many of the Y's have closed. Also if you are a tight budget, swim lessons would be on the bottom of the list.

A lot of Black women of my generation, didn't have an opportunity to learn, simply because the pools were often in the men's Y. Even having a public pool wasn't any help unless you knew someone with patience enough to teach you. There were no programs to teach swimming.

Presently not many day camps offer swimming lessons and where swimming is taught, they can not support large classes. It is not easy to learn or find a place to learn to swim as everyone here seems to think.

My feeling is that if you know your children can't swim, do not allow them in the water, not even to wade, Especially in a river or ocean where currents are unpredictable.

grinder said...

maybe they "got" him on "theft" so that they didn't have to pay employment

They hired a private investigator to tail him for three weeks. That probably cost them a good deal more than it would have to simply fire him and not contest the unemployment benefits -- which are not paid directly by a company, but through an insurance fund.

The company was unionized, which almost certain meant that they couldn't just fire him but needed to show cause. That's almost certainly why they did the investigation.

I say the foregoing as someone who had a particular job that brought me into contact with a state labor department that administered unemployment compensation, and also into contact with dozens of unions in a big city.

True, there could be more to it than that, but from what I've read I seriously doubt there was. I think they nailed the guy for theft, and he went crazy. Probably looked down a very, very deep hole and saw only ruin and humiliation, and then snapped.

He was a human being, a scared rat like all of us, who was a thief and then a multiple murderer. I'd grieve for the guy, until I remember the people he killed. There was a comment above about the need to pay attention to bullying, and on that one I very, very strongly agree. But still, nothing justifies what he did.

grinder said...

I'm going to take a guess -- and that's all it is -- and say that I bet the guy was a member of the Teamsters union. The Teamsters have this inflated reputation for corruption, but that's really a minority of the union and most of it is in the past. The majority of Teamsters locals are excellent unions who get good wages, benefits, and protections for their people.

I'd be willing to bet that the company hired that investigator because it was the only way the shitcan the guy within the union contract -- which, in my view, is the way it ought to be, because I am pro-union.

And if they got him for stealing "a six pack of beer," I'll be surprised. It was probably quarter-barrels or caseloads.

grinder said...

One other thing. If he was a Teamster, or part of a union that was just as strong, then he was almost surely making damn good money driving that truck, with good benefits. In this economy, to be fired "with cause" -- for theft -- would seriously fuck with his future. The pressure must have been enormous.

no_slappz said...

The racist nut was called into a management office and told he'd been video-taped stealing beer. He was showed the video tapes.

After choosing to resign rather than get fired, he pulled out his weapon.

In other words, he came to work packing his guns. In other words, he'd been planning to kill these people.

Why? Because the demons were running wild in his head.

Harassment? Racial harassment? Hardly likely.

Nooses hung to intimidate him? The last person to say that was a black female "professor" at Columbia University -- Madonna Constantine.

Yeah, there was a noose hanging from the knob of her office door. She knew it was there because she put it there.

Then claimed someone else did it.

But, she was sunk by the videotapes and building security.

Columbia fired her. She said she was going sue, sue, sue and sue again. But she slithered off into the night. However, I think she's got some lawyers on her tail expecting payment for the work they did for her.

Anyway, the shooter's psychosis had taken him so far over the edge there is nothing that he said that is even slightly credible.

That's one of the problems with nuts. They generally believe their own lunacy. It appears that lots of readers here believe this crazed psycho was telling the truth, which calls into question the reasoning of all those who believe him.

As if the company hired one black guy just so the white employees would have a black guy to torment with racist threats. Yeah, that's it.

grinder said...

I did a little more searching on this one, and in fact the workers at the distributorship are represented by Teamsters Local 1035. I realize that it's counterintuitive to many people, but the fact that the Teamsters is the union increases my doubt about Thornton's racial harassment story.

Unless this was one of the "bad" Teamsters locals, that union is not known for sweeping shit under the rug. And if all they had caught him for was swiping "a six pack of beer," that union wouldn't have sat still for firing him. He must have had more problems there than his family knew, and the company and the union are probably keeping quiet out of respect for the dead, and maybe elements of the contract (forbidding release of internal disciplinary files, for example).

Now, it's always possible that Teamsters Local 1035 is a corrupt, racist clique. That kind of thing has certainly happened. But from what I knew of the Teamsters, if Local 1035 was "dirty," it would be a big exception. Even in the corrupt locals, the Teamsters have long had a reputation of going balls to the wall for their people.

stevie, you have an overwhelming problem with sticking to the facts, rather than repeating something you probably heard on the street.

Goetz and the clowns he shot were all in the same subway car and the entire scene was played out in that one car.

As for your goofy claim that Barry Allen, Troy Canty, James Ramseur, and Darrell Cabey never threatened Goetz, well, that tells me you really want to keep your anti-white animus in top shape.

As you know, a mugger demanding money can make his demand known without smacking his victim and putting a weapon in his face.

Meanwhile, Goetz surrendered, calling the cops from Vermont, where he had hidden for a week. In other words, he felt guilty for what he'd done.

We've got prisons full of people who feel no trace of guilt. Allen, Canty, Ramseur and Cabey are four dirtbags incapable of feeling any guilt.

I think a couple of them are dead, not that anyone misses them or cares.

UTS the weakness in all of your arguments is that they are merely "I think because I have seen" statements. They hold such little water. I hate to call a brother out, but you would get some respect if you widened your perspective. I have been on here for about 8 months now and all you do it post things like "I have seen this so it has to be a universal truth" kind of statements. Do you read at all? You really just come off as a combative old black dude who is narrow minded and quite ignorant about the world (because reality does not only exist as you have experienced the world). Your arguments are also extremely bounded by your inability to see fault in a community. I am not talking about inferior thinking, but a problem cannot be solved till it's admitted that there is a problem. I pity you old man, you seem to be one of those "I'm always right, this is how it is" kind of guys. I pity your wife and kids more. Real men, can see issues in the black community and we work to fix them. Your ignorant denial actually hinders our work. But God forbid you ever admit there are issues because some whitey may be listening. There are issues in ALL communities UTS. I even recall you saying there is no achievement gap between white and black students. First, to be honest, that is absolutely crazy that you think that (if you really do believe that). It doesn't mean blacks are not as smart, it means they are not showing it on achievement measures. Is your self esteem so low that you cannot see things like this? I know I know, your boys are smart they did well as did their black peers and so there isn't a national problem. Quite myopic UTS, and quite sad.

And the list goes on. The ONLY thing bm DON'T do that wm do is lift up their women, protect them, and protect/provide for their women/children in great numbers.

Black men have also failed to figure out how to secure resources and wealth so that blacks progress and prosper; instead they choose to compete with and blame/bash...their women. With greater access somehow, blacks are moving backwards. I already covered who gets the blame when the blameshifting starts.


Also in the post, this little nugget which should have been in caps and bold print:

"This small trend says nothing good about the overall mental strength of the next generation of black men."

Before the so-called black community's national past time begins--blaming black women---maybe it should be considered and acknowledged that NO OTHER RACE OF WOMEN IS EXPECTED TO RAISE AND SOCIALIZE THEIR SONS ALONE TO BE MEN. That is on purpose and with good reason. It doesn't work.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) ―

The president of a Pennsylvania amusement company has yanked a carnival game in which players shot foam darts at a likeness of what appeared to be President Barack Obama.

Irvin Good pulled the target-shooting game after receiving a complaint from a patron attending a fair in Roseto, about 65 miles north of Philadelphia. Good said Wednesday that his company, Hellertown-based Goodtime Amusments, will not offer the game again.

The game featured a large painted image of a black man wearing a belt buckle with the presidential seal and holding a scroll labeled "Health Bill." Players could win prizes by hitting targets on the image's head and heart.

Good called the game a "big, big mistake in judgment." He said it wasn't meant to encourage violence against the president, adding he voted for Obama.""

Also, I'm eager to hear about all those other discriminations that white people - especially hetro white males suffer from in the workplace. Now, I'm hoping that you provide solid complaints that pertain to just whites, meaning that they are not complaints that blacks/non-whites also suffer from on top of the "classic Civil Rights" racial complaints/discrimination they already have to deal with.

I thought I explained how I figured it. Actually, the ruling itself is very clear:

Conjecture, speculation and fears are not enough. Still less will the moral disapprobation of a group or class of citizens suffice, no matter how large the majority that shares that view. The evidence demonstrated beyond serious reckoning that Proposition 8 finds support only in such disapproval. As such, Proposition 8 is beyond the constitutional reach of the voters or their representatives.

Just because the voters disapprove of gay marriage doesn't mean they can, constitutionally, constrict marriage to a narrow definition. They failed to give evidence of how gay marriage would damage straight marriage. People disapproved of women voting. People disapproved of miscegenation. People disapproved of integration. Disapproval isn't a good enough reason to deny someone his or her basic human rights, and the Prop 8 proponents couldn't come up with anything else. They only called two witnesses. They had nothing. Read the highlights here.

There is a link to the entire ruling at that site, as well.

There also was an interview with Thornton's uncle, who indicated that his nephew was "a gentle" man and that the shooting wasn't random, that he was going after his tormentors.

Of course, no one should condone what he did, but there apparently was some context behind this tragedy.

UTS, please don't lower yourself to Frank's level by engaging in antisemitic canards. I am Jewish and my nose is button cute, not hooked.

Just like SPLC, run by that jewish supremacist who uses blacks to further his own glory.<<

While he was named after a family friend who was, Morris Dees isn't Jewish. Guess it just galls you that there is an organization that stands up to racist organizations like the KKK.

"1. Bernie Goetz' attackers later admitted they intended to rob someone on the train that day and had decided to rob Goetz."

That's a lie. They may have intended to do some robbing but no direct threat was made to Goetz. And most telling, when gets pulled his gun they ran. Goetz went after them gleefully and shot one in the back. Telling the fallen kid, "You don't look too bad, here's another."

"2. The reason race is key to the Colin Ferguson and DC sniper murders is because both murderers admittedly targeted whites for slaughter. In contrast, white mass killers, such as the Kolumbine Krew, did not exclusively kill blacks. Ergo, race not an issue with them."

Another lie. The DC Snipers targeted random victims and actually killed more people of color than whites. Check it yourself liar.

The other ass-non

"NO OTHER RACE OF WOMEN IS EXPECTED TO RAISE AND SOCIALIZE THEIR SONS ALONE TO BE MEN."

What friggin planet do you live on?

About 50% of white marriages end in divorce so there are a helluva lot of white boys growing up in female headed households.

I see them every day.

For someone who complains about black women getting "blamed" you seem to be doing alot of ranting toward black men.

But your "blaming" is justified, right?

The hypocrisy is not to be believed!!!

anyone:

please QUOTE ANYONE else who has ever been foolish enough to equate homohatred with racism...

it is NOT equal and i have never met/heard/read anyone who said it is EQUAL...

but there ARE GLARING similarities between racism and honohatred ie:

lynhcings and slavery were legal once too

gay lynchings STILL happen daily

gays are still denied jobs/homes/apts/peace/freedom/benefits legally just like blacks

gays are tortured by people who look like them!!!

ETC

shame on those who pretend that legal = right!!!!

and shame on those who deny that gays are the new LEGAL mostly rabids in america!!!
