4. What are her hiring practices?

How does she treat her employees when she hires them?

Does she discriminate or show bias to her workforce?

Does she have a history of mistreatment of her employees?


The N Bomb is not an indicator of racism. It is an indicator that one is capable of verbally denigrating and dehumanizing people based upon the color of their skin.

Example -

Robert Byrd was a bigot and a racist - once. For all I know - he privately may have remained a bigot all of his life. However, whether it was political expedience or heartfelt -

His policies and votes in the latter part of his political career were decidedly NOT racist.

So is she a bigot or a racist? I'm reading things at DU where she deliberately humiliated a black male employee in a public forum - comparing him to a black chalkboard.

This could have caused insecurity to his personal economy. If it did - if it was like a duck and talks like it then - she's a racist.
