For those who whine about about not being allowed to call blacks N...when was the last time a white was harassed at work by being called a cracker and threatened with lynching at work?

Lockheed to Pay $2.5 Million In Racial Discrimination Case

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission yesterday announced its largest-ever settlement for an individual racial discrimination case -- $2.5 million -- against Lockheed Martin of Bethesda.
Lockheed agreed to pay Charles Daniels, a black aviation electrician who said he was subjected to racial epithets and threatened with bodily harm by white employees while repairing military aircraft.
Daniels, 45, "was the target of persistent verbal abuse by coworkers and a supervisor whose racial slurs and offensive language included calling him the N-word, and saying, 'We should do to blacks what Hitler did to the Jews,' and if the South had won then this would be a better country," the EEOC said in a statement. "Daniels was also subjected to multiple physical threats, such as lynching and other death threats after he reported the harassment."
The alleged harassment took place while Daniels worked at Lockheed plants in Florida, Washington state and Hawaii.
The EEOC said Lockheed "failed to discipline the harassers and instead allowed the discrimination against Daniels to continue unabated during his two-year tenure even though the company was aware of the unlawful conduct."
EEOC attorneys said that a Lockheed human resources director said that she investigated Daniels's complaints and confirmed that racial comments were made. But the director dismissed them, saying, "Boys will be boys."

Daniels said his problems at Lockheed started in 1999 during a stint in Jacksonville, Fla. Daniels, the only African American in a small unit of workers, said he was among the highest skilled and best paid electricians on the job.
One day, he said, a white co-worker from South Carolina said he was disgruntled because protesters forced the state to remove the Confederate battle flag from the state capitol. He said the country would have been better off had the South won the Civil War. A second co-worker responded that African Americans should have been exterminated, the way Adolf Hitler dealt with Jews.
When he and his co-workers moved to another job site at Whidbey Island, Wash., the co-workers threatened Daniels after learning that he complained about their behavior, he said. "They told me they knew some people in the Aryan Brotherhood and they could make me disappear," he said.

When that happens in a major black firm then we can say that whites have it as bad as blacks. I hope it never happens to them though.

For those who dont know Lockheed is like a huge company with government funding up th kazoo and military contracts. Its not like a little 2 bit mom and pop shop.

Edit: cut down because ppl on LW cant read.
