GM acknowledges shockingly racist incidents at Toledo plant

[RAB910]

Chicago — General Motors said it is urgently working to identify which of its employees turned a Toledo plant into a cesspool of racism. African American workers allege they were routinely disparaged, not only with the n-word but with nooses, swastikas and "whites only" signs on bathroom doors.

GM's admission comes after months of sidestepping claims from 11 workers.

Two federal lawsuits have been filed accusing GM of ignoring racial harassment. The suits claim that for at least two years, African Americans at the plant were called "boys" and "monkeys." They were also told to "go back to Africa where they belong."

"What's the big deal about nooses?" a white supervisor was quoted as saying during a meeting about racial tolerance. "There was never a black person who was lynched who didn't deserve it."

1. Hopefully that supervisor got fired!

But it doesn't surprise me. At G.M. people can transfer to other plants if their plant is downsizing and another plant needs people. So who knows who the people are that are doing this shit or where they came from?
