It Pays to be Black: Man awarded $137 million for being called Bad Words at Work

Tesla has been ordered by a federal court in California to pay almost $137m in damages to a Black former employee who said he endured racial abuse while working at a factory in Fremont.

Owen Diaz, a former contracted elevator operator who worked at the plant between 2015 and 2016, alleged he was harassed and faced “daily racial epithets” including the “N-word”. He also said employees drew swastikas and left racist graffiti and drawings around the plant.

On Monday, a jury in San Francisco sided with Diaz, who was awarded $6.9m in damages for emotional distress and $130m in punitive damages, according to Diaz’s attorney, Lawrence A Organ.

“It took four long years to get to this point,” Diaz told the New York Times. “It’s like a big weight has been pulled off my shoulders.”

Organ, of the California Civil Rights Law Group, said: “It’s a great thing when one of the richest corporations in America has to have a reckoning of the abhorrent conditions at its factory for Black people.”

Diaz’s lawsuit claimed that supervisors failed to stop the racial abuse.

“Tesla’s progressive image was a façade papering over its regressive, demeaning treatment of African American employees,” the lawsuit stated.

Shame on all those White Supremacists liberals in silicon valley who tormented this elevator operator with black skin. It always seems like it's the tolerant crowd that is least tolerant, doesn't it?

I've noticed the hypocrisy of the tolerant ones. You know, the "my body, my choice." Or the, "we hate those who hate," nonsense. So, yea, the fact that racists White liberals would call black people bad words and have an anti-White anti-racist worldview isn't ironic.

Can you believe that they even called the man with black skin the "n word" daily to his face? Yea, I find it hard to believe, too, but the jury didn't. I wonder what the demographic breakdown of the jury was. I'm guessing a diverse mix of White feminists, homosexuals and black people.

It's unfortunate that in 2021 we still have to judge people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character. If we had all just adopted the dream of that plagiarist, this nightmare filled with bad words and racial recognition would be a thing of the past. 

Luckily for this elevator operator with black skin, the weight of those bad words have been lifted off of his shoulders after four long years. Just think, if he hadn't been born with black skin, he would have never been called bad words by colorblind racists liberals, and thus he would have never been a multi-millionaire.

How do you think he feels about being called those bad words now? I can see him driving down the road in his brand new Cadillac, with the windows down and some beats thumping, and a big cigar hanging out of his mouth. His face is full of joy and he's never felt prouder to have black skin. He even has a pretty White woman in the front seat who only calls him bad words during sexual role play. 

It's hard to be mad at anyone for gaming the system. I wasn't there, but the idea that a bunch of anti-white anti-racist liberals would call this elevator operator with black skin the "n word" on a daily basis is just preposterous. But in the same breath, if you have black skin and can make $137 million by pretending to traumatized by some liberals calling you bad words, then why not? Especially if you have a race hustler (like his lawyer) for an attorney.

It really does pay to be black in America.

You know what they say: don't hate the player, hate the game.
