WREG Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There are shocking allegations of racial discrimination in a Memphis cotton warehouse.
Two men filed charges against the Atkinson Cotton Warehouse.
They’re accusing their former supervisor of calling them “monkeys” and telling them the water fountain and microwave were for white people only.
He said after months of racist comments and feeling powerless, he decided to use his phone as a weapon to fight back.
He recorded his attempt to drink water from a water fountain in the warehouse office.
“Hey!” says the supervisor in the recording.
“What?” asked Harris.
“I need to put a sign here that says `white people only.”
Harris also recorded his attempt to use the microwave.
“I am going to use the microwave,” said Harris in the recording.
“Hell no!” said the supervisor.
“Why can’t I use the microwave, man?”
“Because you are not white.”
“Put your sign on the wall then, because I am feeling to drink it,” said Harris. “What would they do when they catch me drinking your water?”
“That`s when we hang you,” said the supervisor.

And here is the company's response:
The owner of the cotton gin said he had no comment, but did say he outsources the management at that warehouse.
How can you have "no comment"? What, just because you outsource the management you have nothing to say about naked racism?
No comment = Approval.
"Post racial" society my ass.
