so much brownshirt rhetoric and logic here. guess what, if everybody just ignores the growing racism and how emboldened bigots are these days, the problem will only get worse.
if people are so proud of their racist opinion, why not share it with the public? i mean, that's "free speech" as well, right? it's about time the closet racists stop making this excuse for one side only...

Letting people exercise free speech that offends you isn't docile it's fundamental to a democratic society


this guy below pretty much said what i was going to say in response, but at the same time i do see the importance of personal privacy as a blockade.

these guys on closed groups will go ape shit if anyone reports to fb, they know they cant have these things go public. that in itself makes it even more of a issue imo.

fender aka Heinrich von Kristallnacht, descendent of Joseph and banality of evil is advocating censorship of free speech as usual.

Relaying what these people said in a closed group to the public is perfectly fine and I encourage the OP to do so. Nice attempt at a strawman, dear.

Probably not a good idea. If union workers understand one thing, it's unity. They will protect each other and blacklist someone they don't think belongs.


Some guy using the word nigger on a facebook group doesn't seem to be a unifying act. There could easily be black plumbers looking at that shit.

to be 100% honest i'm not sure how to go about any of it, i was legit considering getting a hold of some type of lawyer but it just seems like such a drastic step, and like some real heavy things could come of it.

but at the same time, is it one of those deals you gotta just do what you thinks right... i've brought this up with another guy at my shop that follows same pages, and he thinks i'm just being a bitch about it, and this is just the way the trade is, which made me even more pissed lol...


I think you're being overdramatic.... why would you get a lawyer? Just call the overt shit out(like saying nigger boy) on these pages.

Sounds like you'd be pretty easy to identify and dox. Wish you luck in your endeavours.

I'm not claiming it's a unifying act. I'm saying that they will band together to protect each other if found out, and will blacklist the whistleblower.

I'm not suggesting he does anything beyond calling the stuff out in the facebook post. He doesn't have to be a dick about it, just calmly explain his viewpoint.
