A workplace that isn't hostile to people of color and evidence of the cause of dismissal
- Rebelgecko 6y agoShould companies publicly present their side of the story for every firing?
- arvindamirtaa 6y agoWhen they want to publicly claim credit for being a certain way but their actions point to another, it's up to them to clarify their position, and use whatever evidence to support their claim.

- machinelabo 6y agoThat's a good point. May be we need ways to have a common person without a huge media presence have a way to voice their concerns of racism. Since media cannot cover thousands of individual cases, there should be legal avenues without deep pockets for lawyer fees to sue companies for racist behavior. The court should look at this situation objectively and factually.
