Texaco Fire

If I was fired for saying *******?

There is an old black gentleman that I am friends with the workplace. When we opportunity we tend to discuss policy and racisim. One day, during one of our conversations on racism, and while we were headed clock and leave, I mentioned an event that occurred at Texaco headquarters years ago. Many blacks and Hispanics are passed on the promotion by less qualified whites in the company. One day, a senior recorded a meeting where racial slurs were used. I then gave my friend a sample of the garbage that was said. I told him they were saying shit like, we can not be promoted ********. Someone has heard this complaint and I was fired. My black friend was not offended because of the context of the word. I did not say something hateful to a person, we were just having a conversation about racism. This country will never move forward and progress if we do not talk about these things .... by the way I am white.

Of course not! It's funny how they can themselves call the N word, but nobody can ... and if you're not a white rapper. Why not make a word illegal for everyone ...
