Persecution fo Africans n the Cotton industry

Two African-American workers at a cotton gin in Memphis, Tenn. have filed federal discrimination charges against a white supervisor who threatened to hang them for drinking from a “white people only” water fountain. And it’s all on tape.

The employees, Antonio Harris and Marrio Mangrum, told news station WREG that their head supervisor at Atkinson Cotton Warehouse called them “monkeys” and directed them to “think like a white man.”

“He pulled his pants down in front of us and told us to kiss his white tail,” said Harris.

After hearing racist comments for months, Harris decided to record his supervisor with his cell phone as he tried to drink from the the warehouse water fountain and use the microwave. When Harris tried to use the microwave, his supervisor yelled at him on tape. “Hell no,” he says in the recording, before explaining that Harris can’t use it because “you’re not white.”

Later in the same recording, Harris drinks from a water fountain his supervisor also declared off limits for non-whites, and then asks the supervisor “[w]hat they do when they catch me drinking your water?” The supervisor responds “[t]hat’s when we hang you.”
