so should that police officer who joked about only killing black people keep his job too?

not equating what they said but when you represent any sort of organization it is within their rights to let you go if you aren't able to understand what is it isn't acceptable to put out there.

It is a pretty hilarious thing for a cop to say in that situation...

That cop should most definitely keep his job. Everyone knows Goddamn well what he meant. Unless you're a ****ing robot you're going to talk like a ****ing human. I don't even think it was a joke but an annoyed half-serious sarcastic jab actually rooted in some self-critical truth. I'd sooner give him a promotion.

And Frown, who ****ing cares if she's the face of the company?

I might be one of the only self-confessed racists on this forum but it's probably impossible to come up with a criticism of white people that's not pretty much true. And why would any white person care? We're on a 500 year winning streak. We're unassailable.

They're the ones who buy most L'Oreal products. Can't piss 'em off. Also, no company can be seen to be condoning racism. What about a campaign by white people to have her fired if she had not been? That coulda turned real ugly real fast. You don't just mouth off like that when you're in a position of trust. It's just ****ing stupid. And ****ing stupid people deserve to be fired.

That would not have happened. Check the hashtag I posted. The people crying the most about the sacking are very strange white people.

@occult

i mean i know your whole gimmick is to have whacky zany opinions on everything but just so we're clear in why this makes sense i'll explain

in the case of L'oreal by keeping someone who has clearly said controversial things on social media they run the risk of detering a portion of their clientele from buying their product and establishing a reputation for allowing racism so long as it's coming from a minority. as a business why would you want to run that risk? not doing anything about it will undoubtly make it seem like they don't have issues with what she said.

and dont give me any bs about how this is what's wrong with capitalism or how businesses are corrupted and in for themselves or w/e else because the bottom line is businesses are started in order to turn a profit, and L'oreal are more concerned with turning profit than they are allowing their employees to say outlandish **** on social media.

unfortunately in the 21st century bc of social media any dummy with a twitter account can start a hashtag so now a vocal minority thinks its ok to say racist things about white people i guess.

personally idc what she thinks, but as a face of a company you need the common sense to understand that you represent them in every aspect with your actions.

The PR board who made a very basic and well-precedented response to this kind of thing.
