Oatcakes 07/04/20 9:15:20 AM #51:	SJWFaqs posted... No. Comments made in private should be off limits from repercussions. I don't feel like we should be attempting to legislate and regulate private thought. There's no law that says people HAVE to like everybody. Obviously things like recorded thoughts will result in a backlash (see: Hulk Hogan/Bubba The Love Sponge situation) and while the backlash may be justified it was still his private thoughts, even though they were recorded and later released to the public. You appear to be confusing the law with a business choosing to fire people they don't believe represent the company in a good light. They are two completely separate things. --- F.C.

SJWFaqs 07/04/20 9:17:30 AM #53:	1NfamousACE_2 posted... On April 25, 2014, TMZ Sports released a recording of a conversation between Sterling and his mistress, V. Stiviano (born Mara Vanessa Perez, also known as Monica Gallegos, Vanessa Perez, and Maria Valdez).[45][46] In the recording from September 2013, a man confirmed to be Sterling was irritated over a photo Stiviano had posted on Instagram, in which she posed with Basketball Hall of Fame player Magic Johnson.[47][48] Sterling told Stiviano: "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people", and, "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want", but "the little I ask you is ... not to bring them to my games". And? Again it's a PRIVATE conversation that was recorded and later released. Was there backlash? Sure. Was it justified? Probably. Did he deserve to lose what he did for it? Obviously society thought he did. <cite>SJWFaqs posted [p:941657116] in How do you...

Tenlaar 07/04/20 9:30:39 AM #66:	On one hand, I fully understand a company not wanting to be associated with somebody who is drawing attention to themselves and racist beliefs they hold. On the other hand, a lot of people want it taken entirely too far, and it makes me wary of it from the start. When somebody goes viral for doing some dumb racist shit there aren't only people calling for them to get fired from their current job, there are people who want them to be fired from their job and kicked out of their home and denied work in the future and just full on ostracized for life. I don't believe that anybody in this country should have to live in poverty so I damn sure can't support weaponizing it out of a desire for drastic social punishment. <cite>Tenlaar posted [p:941657426] in How do you...

joe40001 07/04/20 9:50:42 AM #78:	It depends what you mean by "racist". "Actively want to commit violence against another race because of a belief they are inferior" is one kind of racist. "By virtue of being white you can't help but benefit from white privilege and as such you are participating in institutional racism" is another kind of racist. The first one is probably going to negatively impact how well you can do at work. Which is basically my threshold for when somebody can be justifiably fired. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:941657868] in How do you...

Clearly your baseline is you don't want people to suffer in poverty, yet the question is how much are you willing to forgive for people to avoid being ground under the gears of the US capitalism machine? Granted your initial argument does go into fantastical people who want others to actually be destitute for being racist, something I probably should have asked you to back up from the start. By and large, what people really want out of racists is for them to not be in positions of power and influence. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:941657930] in How do you...

InfinityMonster 07/04/20 10:07:31 AM #84:	emblem boy posted... I'm strongly for separating work punishment from personal life. In cases where it's not clear or when the person has no real hiring power over people, I'm not for firing people. Leave the firing for rare situations where the person has some type of high position or power that can actually impact other people This tbh. People, especially white people, underestimate just how many people have racist beliefs. If it's some really racist shit, then yeah, get rid of them. But if it's just stereotypes and whatnot, or things coming off jokes or memes, I can't condone someone losing a job, especially with the way shit is in the country, unless they're in a real position to impact people. Because a lot of people would be out of jobs. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" <cite>InfinityMonster posted [p:941658348] in How do you...

Teenman 07/04/20 10:51:29 AM #100:	The problem with firing people over racism is the definition keeps changing. Firing someone 10 years ago for racism would have been fine. Now, Im not so sure. People are labeled racists and bigots for having different views. At this point, we are just creating angry people that feel ostracized. This will just cause more racism and eventually someone or multiple someones are going to start shooting up workplaces. --- "I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do...."
