DUmmy gets into trouble for saying the "N" word at work (sorta)

[FunkyZero]

I had to chuckle a little since one of their go-to's is always "YT is just madz because he can't say ni**** anymore".
Sorry to inform them, but I wouldn't call someone that regardless. It's just funny to me how their over-reactions to everything has come full circle on them.

I was reported to HR for using the word Negro in a perfectly appropriate context

Let me elaborate. Was chatting with a co-worker in the small cafeteria/breakroom yesterday when I was refilling my coffee. He and I are both baseball fans, and were discussing the baseball playoffs and he referenced his visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Told him I hadn’t been to Cooperstown yet, but I had visited the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City a few years ago. Just idle chatter and then went back to my desk.

Within an hour, received an e-mail from someone in HR requesting my presence later in her office later in the afternoon. Was absolutely floored when she informed me that a co-worker had overheard me use the word Negro and felt that was completely inappropriate. Obviously I explained the context, and the HR woman either didn’t quite understand or sympathized with the complaining associate, and immediately scheduled a meeting with both my boss and the head of HR for tomorrow (which is now today.)

Now I think this is making a mountain out of a molehill. And don’t think my boss nor the HR director (who is a personal friend) will do anything more than laugh off this innocent statement of fact that I made.

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Freekin hilarious man. I hope DUmmy gets suspended for not being more sensitive to the ears of the snowflakes whom they created

has the official name of the Kansas City museum.

Hey, DUmmy... it doesn't matter. You should know the rules by now.
And why are you mad that you can't say that other N-Word? Sounds like a dog whistle to me

I hope they're not too stupid to understand that.

Oh dear DUmmy...  yes, these fragile beings you have created really are that stupid.

Prog got entangled by the Victimology Progs fostered?

The rhetorical equivalent of hearing that a terrorist blew his own legs off while making a bomb.

This genuinely brightens my day. Thanks for bringing it over.

Hi-5

With any luck, tcfrogs' HR is true-Blue guilty-especially-if-proven-innocent Progs!

In my dreams many DU-grade Progs will get disciplined or canned for saying aloud the full name of the NAACP or "United Negro College Fund"!

If they can't get it fired for that they should try a random drug test. 

Sounds to me like they are taking any opportunity to eliminate the DUmmies employment.

So if the word Negro is out, what do we call them? Chocolate Americans?

This is the world you idiots created so deal with it.
