SJWism continues its screeching trip right off the rails..
Quote:
Two employees of a bakery in Portland, Oregon were fired earlier this month for denying a black woman service because the business had closed.
"Back To Eden Bakery" released several public apologies and statements following the incident, before letting the employees go. In one Facebook post, the bakery's co-owner wrote, "We are doing business in a gentrified neighborhood in a racist city within a racist state of a racist country.”

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 the statement "Back To Eden" says the employees were fired because the woman and the "clamoring public" demanded they be fired.
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.
I disagree with the firing, I think their reasoning is absurd, but it's their business, and Oregon is an at will state, and the owners can fire for any stupid reason they want.
If the employees were any good at their job, they'll get new ones quickly.
So tired of this stuff happening. What about the two white ladies beforehand who were also denied service ?
They probably went to a business that was open....

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.
There are certain procedures like closing registers and calculating the totals for the day that once started are a real hassle to reverse and redo. It is also probably true that after a certain time management won't authorize overtime pay.
The idea of the disposable employee is alive and well in Oregon.
As far as Lillian is concerned, local activist can often translate to local trouble maker. Lastly this reparations thing that is mentioned at the end of the article is racist event since it is blacks only.
Oh geez, white people. Stop it! Black people would never be this stupid.
"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."
Seriously? LMAO!! Only in Portland! Sometimes nice becomes gross if it's taken too far. This is too far and it's gross.
If it were two black women that were denied service and then some white woman walked in afterward and received service because she was white what do you call that?
