cathyhancock52 Unbelievable....

Don’t be so fast to believe these type stories any more

May find out that is was the black workers that set it up like most of these reports lately

Jussie said this is fake.

Jussie Smollet at it again... sighhhh.

WTF is wrong with my city?!? Weren't we part of the Underground Railroad? I am ashamed

Not good!

Is this another Smollet job CNN?

Everyone knows it wasn't a white guy that did that. You know it too n

That’s absolutely disgraceful! Racism have no place in this world, UPS needs to take action and cleanup & Fire their racist workers

You guys will never learn.😂😂😂

Channeling JussieSmollett

“CNN President Jeff Zucker has no black direct reports. There are no black Executive Producers at CNN. There are no black Vice Presidents on the news side at CNN. There are no black Senior Vice Presidents on the news side at CNN”

The article said they discharge 2 employees over it so Hopefully they will loose pay and maybe even there jobs. That should not be tolerated at all ! People of all races need to be kinder in this world. It’s not anyone’s fault what color we’re all born! God created us all equal!

Was it 2 Nigerian men

I am baffled at these ignorant people who do things like this. Who are the parents? I suppose they are equally ignorant and have no desire to allow their kids to learn about the world and it’s reality.

Not again

My dad said “when did Jussie get a job at UPS?”

Really in ohio? 😐

Shut up that’s not true. Someone at CNN is drunk and tweeting for the company. Manager manager. Someone check this out.

Enormously sad! The company either supported it or did not institutionalize it. Either way it and the workers who did this are guilty.

Not real....

And yet No Russian Collusion Can you believe it?

When the demand for racism outweighs supply. You get CNN

Flavor of the week 👀 will it be another ❌ How many fake stories CNN reported on this year ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

I've heard UPS is a crappy company to work for. I'm not surprised.

All racism is bad yet not surprised didn’t run Jussie Smollett fake hoax scam with as much vigor as this story since they are a propaganda arm of a Liberal politics. That story didn’t fit the agenda.

Jesus

I'm old and broken. I made $30 an hour. 24 1/2 years later I'm now a piece of s***.

UPS can lie to EEOC, OSHA and an Iowa federal judge. I'm white and powerless.

UPS management is a bunch of liars. Like dozens and are you aware that a big corporation like them can lie to the EEOC and I'm just f***e*?

I used to work in Maumee and was afraid because of the racism I have experienced there. Racist bastards.

STFVergonhaNacional

You think between Jussie Smollett and being sued 275 million dollars for being FAKE News you idiits would've learned by now.

geez...if news reports about racism weren't reported anymore...I'd be a very happy person.

Crisis actor

Was the name of the called Jussie by some chance?

Ok so did any of this REALLY happen by racists or is this the sequel to Jussie Smolett's fiction?

Out of order 🚫 is a massive company but there’s no place for it but the atmosphere in America now has changed so you got to know & live with the times & try to make a change.

Didn’t CNN just get sued for $275 million dollars for defamation? Seems odd to run this story

Uhh huh. This is about as believable as Jussie paying his friends to beat his useless ass. But you liberals democrats progressives will eat this crap up until you find it to be another hoax and then move onto the next story. freedom funny conservatives

Ms Corrupt2016 celebrated by celebrities-felt belong to exclusive tear of functioning:justice didn't check if $145,000,000 from Russians in HRC closet. POTUS justice reform only sucsessful in implementation if applied equally- no matter of gender, race or connections BREAKING

What is wrong with people? It’s stunning how many bad people are out there!

Have you not learned your lesson? And you wonder why youre ratings are tanking? JessieSmollett FakeNews

Oh CNN please oh please tell me you fact checked this lol last thing you and the other fake news outlets need is another faux story lol

It looks like CNN and the Democrats are attacking Ohio again. When will the stop! What do they have against Ohio?!

UPS_HeIper
