Is This Hypthetical Man A Racist?

[DriftingSand]

Hypothetical Scenario:

A man owns a Home Healthcare company. His company delivers oxygen and medical supplies to folks who live at home but require these supplies as a matter of life and death or at least for a healthier, better quality of life. The man's company is centered in a part of town that borders a really rough, high-crime neighborhood but he needs to deliver medical supplies to anyone and everyone who needs them regardless of the neighborhood in which they reside. The high-crime neighborhood happens to be mostly black.

The man employs 8 delivery technicians. 4 of them are black and 4 of them are white. Whenever he sends one of his white drivers into the black neighborhood they are either harassed or assaulted. As a result and for safety's sake the company owner enacts a new company policy: "Only black drivers shall deliver medical supplies to that black neighborhood."

Is the company owner a racist for only sending drivers of a particular race to a particular neighborhood?

The owner of the company is only a racist if he believes in the superiority or inferiority of one race over another.

What he is practicing is racial discrimination. Whether that's legal, or justified, is up to employment and anti discrimination laws that apply to that town.

The poorest judges of whether or not the company owner is a racist, would include Fox and MSNBC, people with preexisting racial resentments, and most of the people on this site.

Wrong. He os protecting the health and well being of his employees.

So if you owned the company and your white employees were routinely harassed or beaten would you continue to send them into harm's way?

No, I would fire the white employees and hire all black people...since they are better qualified.

It would be racist to assume the business owner is not an African-American to start with.

So ...

a) would he be racist if he was a white business owner?
b) would he be racist if he was a black business owner?

America lives by a double standard where race is concerned. Some races enjoy a "history month" while other races do not.

Thoughts?

Maybe from your POV, but I think it's the practical thing to do, PC regardless.

But all the other neighborhoods are mostly white. What if the black drivers are being assaulted in the white neighborhoods? Would you not want to keep your black drivers safe?

Thoughts?

White history month is all year long. We know all about America and Europe's history. The kings of England, the renaissance, the french revolution, Martin Luther, Rome, the Greeks, the plague, the hundred years war...

What did you learn about black history in school? That they were slaves and that one of them sat at the front of a bus one time?

Really? Have you ever heard any of your media handlers encourage us to celebrate white history month? No? I didn't think so.

But you totally failed to answer the question presented by the OP. Typical sidestep.

Your OP is not worth taking seriously. You've been posting anti-black sentiment for weeks. This is just more of it.

Another sidestep. Afraid to answer? Would you be surprised to find out these companies across the country have enacted similar policies for the protection of their employees?

That's a great place to start!!! It's "racist" to hire anyone, anywhere to fill a quota! Your turn.

You presume too much, for he said nothing of the sort.
