Bank of America fires employee after racist Facebook rant causes complaints
Don’t you hate when you get screenshot? Christine Mcmullen Lindgren, a former employee of Bank of America in Atlanta, Georgia probably feels that way today.
Less than 24 hours after an expletive-laced rant was published to her Facebook page, Bank of America says they fired her over the “unacceptable post.”

“I hate face book for this reason you f—ing n—-rs,” she wrote. “F—ing n—-rs go back to Africa get over your pity party you created this hatred and you own kind that brought you r great great parents over here.”
–Bank of America accused of better maintained, marketed foreclosures in white neighborhoods
She went on to complain about having to “pay for” welfare for families that African-Americans “can’t afford.”
When Facebook users noticed she was listed as a Bank of America employee, thousands publicly directed their comments and complaints to the company’s social media pages.
