DON'T TOUCH ME, NIGGER

Here's the story that inspired this thread -

Two African American care home employees have accused their bosses of stopping them working with a white patient as he refused to be cared for by black people.

Shiawassee County Medical Care Facility, in Corunna, Michigan, allegedly told them that they could not work with the patient, according to TV5.

Nursing assistant Andrea Butler said: '[I've] never, ever been treated like this before. It hurts, it really hurts, especially because I'm there to take care of them.'

Nurse Tonya Battle has spoken out about the case. She was told by staff at Hurley medical Centre she couldn't care for a newborn at the request of the baby's white parents.

She said: ‘It's outrageous that a medical facility would grant this request, especially on the heels of the battle against Hurley Medical Centre case, that there was a public outcry that a patient's request based on race would be granted.’

‘In my legal opinion, a patient can not request somebody to not work with them based on race. This is clearly illegal under federal law, I believe it's illegal under state law as well.’


I'm curious to know if this is legal. I think patients have a right to these requests.
