So in the year 2022 everyone know you don't do things like this. UNLESS you're a hard core racist, and one could logically conclude that the parties involved in this act are frustrated and feeling impotent in one manner or another.
I don't think a strategy of waiting for them to all die out is going to be effective because they apparently just continue to spawn more racist who then carry on where the 1800s left off - youngsters like Dylann Roof, Payton Gendron, etc. who have never lived in a world like the one they long for, where whites have absolute lawful dominion over everyone of the black race, or so they believed.
Man finds noose at his work site in RedmondBy Jake Chapman, KIRO 7 NewsJuly 21, 2022 at 7:53 pm PDTREDMOND, Wash. — BNBuilders confirms with KIRO 7 that three individuals were terminated recently for their alleged involvement in an incident at a construction site in Redmond, where a noose was found with a Black carpenter’s name on it. A company spokesperson also stated this was an ongoing investigation and they were still working with Redmond police on the matter. Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime.Jim Gleason, the PNW Regional Council supervisor of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, confirmed with KIRO that he knows some of those involved are members of the Northwest Carpenters Union. He says he’s embarrassed and mad about the entire matter.“That I think the members are a lot more aware and members that are not involved in this s*** will be more active to report now and verify discrimination and harassment on job sites,” Gleason said.Gleason says the Carpenters Union conducts extensive diversity training with their apprentices and carpenters to ensure an inclusive work environment.“We spend a lot of time training our members to recognize that our industry is changing. It’s diversified now,” Gleason said.Gleason says he agrees with the punishment by BNBuilders, but activists like Eddie Rye Jr. say incidents like this show something more.“We have a serious problem. There’s a shortage of workers, but yet we still have this discrimination. And we have to do something to remedy that,” Rye said.He believes more needs to be done for those responsible.“As far as I’m concerned, there has to be some charges brought. And there also has to be transparency We need to know who the people that perpetrated this are,” Rye said.The investigation isn’t over, according to Gleason and BNBuilders. Gleason hopes everyone can continue to learn and grow from the matter.“But it is not what a union carpenter is. We are respectful of others. Especially with the apprenticeship side is sensitivity. So, I guess I was disappointed in those members,” Gleason said.
