Racism in the work place

Worker Finds 'Lynched' Coke Bottle in Auto Plant; Sues Toyota for Racism

The article I Chose to do can be found on the Ethnic News Watch data base. The article is called "Worker Finds 'Lynched' Coke Bottle in Auto Plant; Sues Toyota for Racism" and it is about what it says. Its about a Black worker who has delt with racism his who career at toyota. since he has been there he has delt with people drawing swastikas and people calling him the N - word and being told to go back to Africa. I chose this article becuase it is similar to the Jenna 6 case that we discused in class. I also chose this becuase we had to get one aricle off Ethnic News Watch and the database didn't seem to get me much to work with at the time I tried to use it.
This article relates to the jenna 6 material we discused in class. That was about a black kid sitting under a tree that only whites normally sat at. After he sat there, there was nuses hung at the tree. This was done to send the black students a message. After this fights broke out between blacks and whites and some of the black students were jailed. The article about the coke bottle is similar becuase the Lynched coke bottle was put up to send James Callier a message. His co - workers wanted to make him feel unwelcome. They sent messages to scare him, similar to the jenna 6 case.
In my Opinion, I think that Mr. Callier was right in sueing the company. They should never had the right to let that activity go on in the work place. He should not have had to leave the company. Everyone else should have been fired for being racist and doing things that are not work related in the work place. Im sure toyota would not want to be known for being racist.
