that wasnt my point. Once again, my point is I dont believe people should be punished at work, for shyt they do at home.
I dont think Donald Sterling should have lost his team either. I UNDERSTAND Y HE DID. 100% UNDERSTAND WHY. fukk DONALD STERLING. But I dont think it's right in context to what this country is SUPPOSEDLY about.
Im not okay with people being recorded and being punished for what they say in bed with their chick. Im not okay with somebody digging up some shyt I did three years ago on my page on my own time, and using it against me AT WORK today. That sets a precedent where im not FREE to speak and do as I wish. Thats my point.
Im not defending Zahra's actions. Shes a c*nt. But there is a fundamental issue here. I dont like this trend in the country.
If she did it while she was under the employ of WWE, obviously fire her. Thats conduct unbecoming. But if she said this shyt 3 years ago. Before she was in developmental. Have her apologize and move on.
fukk Zahra once again. But as a real nikka, I still have to stand by what I feel is right.
I get that you are black, and that you don't support their actions (no need to further clarify)
You are speaking about individual freedoms being stripped due to past actions (and thoughts). Her actions are wildly different than Donald Sterling And Hulk Hogan because they both offered public apologies for times they were recorded without their consent...she (still) hasn't... and she was the one who willfully posted the comments and the Nazi imagery. There is a big difference between getting baited into saying something (like Sterling) and willfully posting that you like all Disney Princesses EXCEPT Tiana (the black one) and then reaffirming those comments with smileys...there is a big difference between speaking off the cuff about who your daughter is having sex with (while being SECRETLY filmed) and posting swastikas on an instagram
The difference between our work and hers is that they are "public figures". You or I aren't representing a company on television each week. They need to be more scrupulous than our employers because of the nature of the work. Just like your employer wouldn't "fire you" for gaining 20 lbs, where a modeling agency may drop a model for that same reason. You can't compare the regulations in your industry to that of "entertainers" because they do a completely different type of work.
The main point is that we also don't know if she was fired for the imagery, or refusing to remove/apologize for the imagery. WWE has not issued an "official" statement and neither has she. We don't know if they gave her the chance to apologize and she said "nope" because she would rather be famous for being notorious than to apologize and still end up in the WWE abyss.
long and short of it
You said: My main point is that people shouldn't be fired for what they do at home
Counter: once you put things online, you are no longer "doing them at home" you are building a very public image of who you are and what you believe in (especially for entertainers and sometimes what you do in the past catches up to you.
