Reality Check for November 2012

A guy who worked at Republic Steel for 10 years until it closed in 1983 recalls that the best line he ever heard there was uttered when a worse than useless young black kid was being reprimanded for the last time.

The black youth objected to the shop foreman, you’re firing me because I’m black!

The boss said No, we hired you because you are black. We’re firing you because you’re useless!
