Stacy Swimp Called "Boy" During Right-To-Work Scuffle



In Michigan this past week. Politics 365 reports: "That day, [Stacy] Swimp was the only Black person in the bunch.  He took the brunt of some racially tinged words: 'You are a token!' 'How much they paying you, Boy!' 'Martin L. King would spit in your face!' 'You are a shame to your race!' 'How does it feel to be rich?!' Swimp says the words were biting. He says he was later accosted in the parking lot at the end of the day by others but he stood his ground and escaped without further incident."

The article continues about the conservative advocate: "'Of the Right to Work law, Swimp says they 'will empower the employees, protecting their 1st Amendment right to dissent from financially supporting a union they do not wish to be a part of,' adding 'Moreover, they will no longer be forced to finance political campaigns they might not necessarily be in agreement with. The best part is that they can exercise their freedom of expression, of choice, without being subject to the historically vicious backlash of a hostile work environment, from either the employer or union retaliation."
