I havent read this thread from back to front etc. But the one thing that worries me is racism being misused. I might not have worded that correctly.
Last Thursday two scaffold wagons illegally parked in our yard blocking in our work vehicles. We have a building site of 90 odd flats being built opposite our yard.
I waited over an hour waiting for the scaffolders to come back from going to the cafe. I politely asked them if someone had given them permission to use our yard. (Sometimes we do )Which no one had , I was meet with abuse , foul language, and threatened to kick my head in, they said I had a threatening walk !!, so they gave me dogs shit.
Lucky another workmate of mine was in the yard and saw and heard every thing.
As they were driving out they said they would be complaining to my boss because I used racist language, which I hadnt.
I was shocked that after being threatened with violence, verbal abuse that they would than accuse me of being a racist.
All I did was ask if they had been given permission to use our car park, and they throw the racist card.
It really saddens me that people would do that. My work has backed me 100% as it's all on cctv and it's clear if I had said anything like that it would gave kicked of because they were being so nasty.
Even now I am still shocked and angry by what happened. I might be alot of things but I am not a racist.
All of this because they were illegally parked in our yard blocking in all our work vehicles.
Sorry you’ve had a crappy experience but how is this related to the thread about BLM protests in the United States?
