mryounggun;9071807 said:At a certain point, shouldn't self-preservation come before your hatred? Like you posted this one FB, where people know you and where you work. You KNOW there is a really good chance this will make it back to your employer. Just be racist in the privacy of your own home.
Unless you don't care about your job and shit like that. In which case...fuck it!

Bank of America don't give a fuck about you, they care about what affects the bottom line, she could of so she had to go. Bottom line, the people who made the decision for her to go probably echo her feelings.
"It's cool to hate niggers, just don't do it in public"

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution — which published screenshots of the since-deleted post — Christine McMullen Lindgren's outburst called on "f***ing n***ers" to "go back to Africa get over your pity party you created this hatred and your own kind that brought your great great [grandparents] over here and sold them."

The post — in which Lindgren also told black people to "do something with your lives" rather than "collect welfare" — prompted a social media firestorm.
A number of users messaged Bank of America, asking the company if it shared its employee's values.
"Does Christine McMullen Lindgren really work for you?" one person wrote, according to the Journal-Constitution. "If she is one of your employees, are you going to take action against her?"
"I hope this company's values do not align with Christine's," another woman wrote.
Bank of America said the employee had been fired by 1 p.m. Thursday.
In a statement to the Journal-Constitution, Bank of America senior vice president and communications manager Andy Aldridge confirmed Lindgren was indeed an employee, but that she "no longer works for Bank of America."
He also called her comments "reprehensible and unacceptable."
This is far from the first time an employee's social media persona has influenced their employment status. Almost three years have passed since Justine Sacco's job-losing-but-not-career-ending tweet about AIDS in Africa, which spurred a larger tweetstorm and sparked a national conversation about the perils of personal and work life overlap.
Of course, punishment for racism on the job is not always equal, either: While Lindgren and Sacco got sacked, others folks — like this Mobile, Alabama, teacher who administered a racist test to her students last week — just get administrative leave.
