Now the MSM is going to run with this and make it all about the "racist South" even though this is just low class stuff. Call me when this happens in the BAC breakroom in Charlotte, then we have a real problem.

Cotton factory supervisor caught on tape telling black workers he'd 'HANG' them if they drank from 'whites-only' water fountain


Did you mean to leave this part out of the thread title? ?

Amazing, an actual bigot.

Maybe if we weren't bombarded by "happy meal toys cater to white kids" stories, we'd could all hone in on the real and rare examples of legitimate racism like this shitbag.

Is there any possibility the supervisor was saying everything he said in a joking manner?

Not that it would make what he said OK, but might make it a little more understandable how someone one could possibly think saying anything like that was a good idea.

How long before the death penalty is proposed for "racist thoughts" or beliefs?

I imagine a lot of us have encountered those awkward white people who say outrageously bigoted shite for laughs while simultaneously thinking he's going to endear himself to black folks for being so open about it.

This guy could be in that camp. Either way, he's an idiot.

As someone who once worked closely with the cotton industry I can say... that is the oldest, most common joke in the book. Brought up by blacks or whites, in front of both blacks and whites, many times.

Don't mix colors with whites in warm water and especially for first time cleaning.

Or maybe he doesn't like blacks, and meant it. Big deal.

They still have cotton factories? I thought all our clothes were made in China.
