P.C. gone too far? Oregon Bakery Fires Employees For Denying Black Woman Service After Closing

PORTLAND, Ore. — Two employees of a bakery in Portland, Oregon were fired earlier this month for denying a black woman service because the business had closed.

The bakery's statement says that even though it does not consider the employees to be racist and that they were following the business's protocol of closing at 9 p.m., they were fired because "sometimes impact outweighs intent." The bakery also says in the statement that the way the employees went about denying the woman service, "lacked sensitivity and understanding of the racial implications at work."

 

 In one statement, "Back To Eden Bakery" says that according to its own surveillance video, a black woman named "Lillian", who is well known in the area as a "professional equity activist", entered at 9:06 p.m., after the bakery's closing time. Employees had also turned off the "Open" sign, but several customers (all white) who had already ordered were still inside. Two other white women who went to the bakery two minutes before "Lillian", and were also informed that the business was closed for the night.

 In one statement, the bakery admitted that the employees did not necessarily do anything wrong, "this is more about how a black woman was made to feel" at the business.

 

 

Oh boy..this should be fun. That company is getting sued to hell. Of course the lady made a huge obnoxious deal about it, but even she's since deleted her FB video. (Probably due to being embarrassed..but who knows )

Also - What the fuck is this?!

 

The bakery has also volunteered to participate in Portland's second "Reparations Happy Hour", a black-only event in which whites donate money, and the hosting business hands out $10 bills to all "black, brown, and minority ethnicities" who walk into the business.

i'm very anti-raicst, and even i think the employees should not have been fired. if the woman was white, this wouldn't be an issue, and they would still have their jobs.

ok, what's the problem?

Gross. And Oregon is an at will employment state so I wouldn't be so sure anything comes of the firings.

Nope.

 

Employers can fire you without cause, especially in a Right To Work state.

 

You should know this, more than anybody.

They can't fire you by discrimination, which this is.

So the employees were fired because of their race?

Nope there is no discrimination here.

 

Please list the type of discrimination occurring here. Remember....YOU YOURSELF have said that political affiliation and belief, in either direction.........is NOT PROTECTED.

And it has nothing to do with the employer's race, either.

 

The employer saying that making a black person not feel bad can be associated with a POLITICAL, CULTURAL ideology.............and the employees have to abide by their employer.

[jehurey 3,227]

lol ghost edit's his quote to re-affirm that he's running away from me.

 

Thanks for the heads up.......although I figured that out already by all the OTHER posts you ran away from. LOL

Wow. 0-2. Lol. Who said it had anything to do with the employers race?

 

*remembers to ignore the clueless Jerry again

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he run's away again.

 

Employee's race.  LOL I love how you are trying to claim victory over the smallest of things.

 

The EmployeR can employ a "we treat black people with respect" policy............or a "we treat fat people really nice" policy, or ANYTHING they want.  Its based on their own personal ideology.

 

...........and the employees HAVE TO abide by it, or they can get fired.

 

Period. Go run away now. LOL Ghosts's OWN arguments from a few months ago have bit him in the ass.

I would assume not, but that deductive reasoning doesn't really work considering it doesn't hold up against the counter-point that the situation wouldn't have happened if they were.
