Thanks @TonyLBlackwell
Well at least there are still some decent people out there. And some of them employed the racist man who slapped a baby calling the child ” a nigger baby.” After the news broke that one of their employees was an unapologetic racist, these decent people did what had to be done and fired Joe Rickey Hundley.
CNN Reports;
An Idaho man accused of uttering a racial slur and slapping a crying 19-month-old boy on a Delta Air Lines flight is now
out of a job.
Joe Rickey Hundley of Hayden, Idaho, was charged with assaulting a minor in the February 8 incident. His company, which initially suspended him, said Sunday that Hundley no longer has his job.
“Reports of the recent behavior of one of our business unit executives while on personal travel are offensive and disturbing,” said a statement from AGC Aerospace & Defense. “We have taken this matter very seriously and worked diligently to examine it since learning of the matter on Friday afternoon.
“As of Sunday, the executive is no longer employed with the company.”
AGC Aerospace & Defense supplies technology and other services to the military and businesses.
Affidavit: Slap with an open hand
According to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta last week:
The boy’s mother, Jessica Bennett, 33, of Minnesota and her son were seated in row 28, seat B, on Delta Flight 721 that originated in Minneapolis.
As the plane began its descent into Atlanta, the boy began to cry because of the altitude change and his mother tried to soothe him.
Then Hundley, who was seated next to the mother and son, allegedly told her to “shut that (‘N word’) baby up.”
Chris, you and your family were so far ahead of your time in race relations. Some of the best times I had in high school was spending the night at your house on Friday nights and eating German pancakes on Saturday mornings. Your family, including Grandma Steele treated me like FAMILY. This man and people like him have truly missed the mark. We rose above his level light years ago, my friend!
He should be ashamed of himself in the eyes of God. Also, criminal charges should be imposed.

It doesn't surprise me that this former executive used the "n-word." What amazes me is that he slapped a toddler in the face and his lawyer states that "he's not a racist!" It's 2013 and people of color are still subjected to unmerited hate. Will it ever end?
