    Tough week in the Eleventh Circuit for black nurses claiming hostile work environments.

    In two separate cases, decided without dissent, Judges Jill Pryor (Obama), Newsom (Trump), Grant (Trump), Branch (Trump), Brasher (Trump), and Dist. Judge Winsor (Trump) sent plaintiffs claiming racial discrimination and hostile work environments packing without relief after their co-workers and supervisors made comments such as calling black patients “crack heads” and “welfare queens”, saying that Michelle Obama looks like a monkey, (see Yelling v. St Vincent’s Health) and that “blacks are lazy, and don’t like to work.” (see Harris v. Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade).

    Check out Basher’s concurrence in Yelling if you want to see what’s coming.

    For what it’s worth, I think the judges got the law right. But can you imagine being black and having to work in the conditions these people experienced? Of course their performance suffered! Who could live like that day after day?
