    Default Being a White Supremacist Grounds for Firing

    Being a White Supremacist Grounds for Firing


    After white nationalists descended upon Charlottesville, Virginia, a Twitter account with the handle @YesYoureRacist began soliciting the identities of rally goers based on photographs. “If you recognize any of the Nazis marching in #Charlottesville, send me their names/profiles and I'll make them famous,” the account tweeted. And by famous, the user of course meant infamous.

    The strategy of exposing the faces of rally attendees to hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter worked, and many were identified. By Sunday, one of those whose name and place of residence had been revealed had reportedly been fired from his job at Top Dog, hot dog restaurant in Berkeley, California, according to Berkleyside. (A call to Top Dog went unanswered.)

    The strategy that ultimately got Cole White, the man who lost his job after being identified via social media, fired directed a mix of public shaming and economic pressure not at him, per se, but toward his employer. It took only a few hours for internet users to come up with an identification, where he was from, and where he worked and then to start calling on Top Dog to let him go. That’s certainly not a brand new tactic, but it’s a variety of vigilantism to which social media is particularly well suited, finding and disseminating information and amplifying calls to action far beyond what would be possible within a single geographic community. After the news broke that White had been fired, many who had participated tweeted delighted responses. ”Awesome! We must shame them into oblivion,” wrote one user.

    It's not merely that Cole White lost his job. The website GoDaddy has bounced the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer off its servers, and the University of Nevada, Reno, has released a statement condemning racism and white supremacy after it became clear that one of its students had participated in the rally. All of these cases indicate that there is real pushback against the trend that my colleague Matt Thompson described over the weekend: that white supremacists feel increasingly comfortable expressing their views in public fora. This is certainly true, but apparently they can't do so with impunity: The hoods may be off, but the torchbearers may not have jobs to come back to on Monday. The efforts to push employers to fire the offending employees are an example of how the public—but, importantly, not the government—can strengthen the norms against these ideas, attach a stigma to them, and try to move society away from them.

    Of course, the consequence of this dynamic is that taboo political ideas of all stripes can lead to workplace sanctions. While many on the political left are now lauding firings as a way to hold white supremacists accountable, it’s also worth remembering that pressuring employers to sever ties based on political activities, or social and racial beliefs, has historically been targeted in the other direction. McCarthyism involved reporting Communists and Communist sympathizers and pushing them out of the workforce, and Hollywood in particular. And as Walter Greason, a historian and professor at Monmouth University said in an interview, “Historically it's more dangerous as an employee to be associated with racial justice and the NAACP, than it was to be affiliated with the KKK.”

    More recently, the dynamics have shifted somewhat with the advent of the internet. Perhaps most memorably, there’s the incident of a public-relations professional who made a racist joke about AIDS while boarding a flight to South Africa. While in the air, the tweet went viral, leading outraged internet users to not just ridicule her, but to direct attention at her employer as well. Countless onlookers waited for her to land and learn of her dismissal. While the offense at the root of these firings is different, the viral and Google-able nature of the internet means that the consequences of such terminations are long-lasting: Not only does a person lose his or her job, but the entire incident will forever be tied to their name for all to see.

    Before I retired I personally fired people and wrote in their report that they were fired for being racists.
    I have no problem with this.
    No employer should.

    Anyone who supports affirmative action is a confessed white-male-hating racist and sexist and should be fired.
    Reckless drivers are a bigger threat to you than all other criminals put together!

    THE BIG LIE - Blacks and whites are different physically but identical mentally!

    The greatest friend of racism and bigotry is tacit approval through silence.


    It is time for the racists at the alt white rallies to all be identified and meet the consequences of their actions.
    Out a racist today!

    If you worked for me you would be fired immediately for espousing white supremacy and racism...

    i'm sure you morons would have no problem with gun owners being fired as well, or smokers, and for those that hate the military, fire all veterans. at some point, we can allow the groups of pit bull haters to start petitioning all employers to fire pit bull owners for being closet dog fight supporters. we can then proceed to get all motorcycle riders fired and use the excuse of stupidity, since cycles are so dangerous and they are probably gang members anyway.......

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    The international hotel chain that I worked for had no problem terminating an employee for expressing racism toward guests and other employees.
    It was written into their permanent employee record, and I was glad to do so.

    I loathe the neo-nazis,but they have a right to free speech ( which is not the same as hate speech -hate speech is targeted at a group to generate violence)..So now we are at the Stalinesque purging phase..

    see, now expressing it towards the guests of your employer besmirches and denigrates the reputation of the company. THIS kind of firing i'm cool with. People at a large protest/rally/gathering/klan meeting where there was nothing about any company involved getting fired is just blatant bullying by the supposedly anti racist hypocrites.

    Hate speech within the work environment is grounds for termination in most of corporate America...

    I support that 100%...
    So should you.

    THOUGHT CRIME
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
