with the left tagging everyone who disagrees with their policies a racist,and pulling the race card every time someone disagrees with a left wing minority have they unintentionally rendered the word racist meaningless ??? has anyone on this board ever been called racist for something that has nothing to with racism ?? if so please explain why you were labelled a racist and by whom ...
Years ago I had a young man working for me. His job was to be my assistant. I was building a large industrial machine and he was supposed to be helping me pin and bolt 1000 pound steel plates together about 20 feet off the floor. He went down for more bolts and eventually, I noticed that he hadn't come back.
I moved to where I could look around the shop and there he was, lying on a work bench, asleep.
I heaved a 3 pound hammer over his head and into a stock rack behind him. The noise woke him up and he started swearing at me; calling me a racist cracker. I fired him on the spot.
A couple days later, the owner calls me and says the NAACP is on the line, and would I talk to them.
The guy on the phone asks me if I fired the guy because he was black.
I replied, "No I fired him because he was a lazy bastard."
After I had explained what happened, the man apologized for taking up my time.
Was I racist? After all, I have never fired a white man for sleeping on the job.
