I trust the black power gesture (raised fist) will be dealt with the same way, right? In the name of equality. Or, let me guess, is that black privilege?

SDG&E claims they did a thorough investigation/other interviews and based on that they fired him.

I'd like to see that other "evidence" because otherwise this is completely insane.



It looks like Mr. Cafferty got set up. I agree this is nuts. The guy that originally posted the picture, deleted his Twitter account. This is all wrong. I hope he gets his job back, or a better one.

Yeah, I saw that the guy who recorded it is regretful and deleted his whole account.

There isn't enough context here. Did the two have words? And what in the world could have been found in the company's investigation that made termination the route to go?

That’s the missing piece. What did the company investigation find? I see no way they can take any action on the photo.

When meme is reality. Hopefully this is an indirect blessing and he gets a better job than before, because this is just foul. Really foul. I know because it’s a meme actual white supremacists use it but since 99% of the public uses it as well it’s always better to assume 1 trillion time out of 10 that the person using it has no ill intentions. Hell black people use it all the time it’s an American thing not a racial thing at all.

Maybe the guy that got fired should show these photos to his former boss. Then hand him a towel to wipe the egg off his face.
