Three federal lawsuits have been filed over the actions of a Waggaman shipyard supervisor who swung a hangman's noose at a group of black laborers who had been discussing the removal of Confederate monuments in New Orleans.

The incident, which was captured on cellphone video, prompted the firing of the supervisor, Edward Collins, who according to the lawsuits had a history of bullying African-American workers assigned to shipbuilding jobs at Archer Daniels Midland.

Colin McBean, an Archer Daniels spokesman, said the company terminated Collins earlier this year and ordered its employees to undergo ethics and sensitivity training.

"ADM has zero tolerance for hate, racism and discrimination and does not stand for the kind of behavior alleged in this complaint," McBean said in an email. "Consistent with our policies, upon learning of this incident we immediately investigated and promptly took action."

But the lawsuits, filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, accuse the agricultural processing company of allowing Collins to remain on the job for weeks following the controversy including after more than a dozen black employees signed a petition demanding an investigation.

One of the lawsuits says Archer Daniels Midland not only failed to discipline Collins but "asked him to return to finish a particular shipbuilding contract" after the noose incident.

"We as African-Americans are shocked that this form of racism still exists and especially in our work environment," the petition says.


Pretty crazy seeing such in your face blatant racism like that. You'd think with more people these days being woke there'd be more sense and decency.

Pretty much the only scenario where this isn't a "fair, next" is if he was teaching employees how to lasso.

So.... fair, next.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

I'm not following the context for this....

What kind of person wakes up in the morning and goes "I'mma gonna go wave this noose around at my black employees!"

How did they even get to that position. Did he bring the noose to work? Did he find it on the floor and like do it instantly?

What happened?

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

what if that supervisor had dependants? this situation probably only added another generation of racism to that family.

why can't PoC just give in and accept the dehumanization as intended? so not fair.

Bruh...that's even more pathetic.

You truly are unhinged.


What's pathetic is you not scrolling 2 posts below the one that triggered your colon.

the usuals have already lurked and moved on since there isn't anything to argue against without looking horrible.

There was a video this time. I was thinking someone would try defending it before looking at the video, but in a rare turn of events it seems like people read the article.
