The question is, are they able to admit it when they're shown to be wrong?

Very nice that 3 white coworkers supported him and an all white jury ruled in his favor. Times change slowly.

Good for Mr. Watts, as this should never be tolerated in the work place or anywhere for that matter. That company should fire the management involved in this situation, for it looks like they were hoping it would blow over and they stood by the more senior employee, instead of doing what's right, once exposed.

Hats off for the gentleman taking it to court and taking it all the way.....that's not easy. Congrats.

The left exploits racism when it suits them, and then they ignore it when it's one of their own.

Case in point, President #046. A disgusting racist pile of human garbage - the second most racist president in U.S. history. Naturally, the left ignores it.

Oh right, there was that time Biden called Jews "shylocks". That was really bad. :(
 
So people, we have a story here about a guy who complained about racial slurs and was fired for it, and yet a white jury all ruled in favor of Watts.
This should be a feel good story that shows that there are decent people in the world but instead we get these kinds of reactions:

I was surprised by redbeers post. I don't offen agree with him. The others can't handle the truth or simply don't want to admit it. I agree it was refreshing he was treated justly by an all white jury.

Have to wonder what is going on in the minds of those who can't read a story about a black man, especially one where there was very obvious racism, and yet got justice from a white jury when they react with such petulant replies.
My bet: they didn't even read the story, they saw the thread title and without even knowing what this thread is about they went bananas.

Mad Libs only like to feel good at the expense of others. You don't care about the particular case; you just like any story that seems to suggest that racism is endemic. But you can't admit what fools the Libs were to credence Jussie Smollett, and how he played you for fools.

I didn't read the story because I considered the source.
