Being anti-racist isn’t political, it’s called being a human being with common decency. This doesn’t surprise me considering Taco Bell’s parent company made some hefty contributions to Trump’s campaign in the past and this year.

Just googled and I'm not surprised  .these corporations lowkey don't support the movement if they are going as far as firing people for wearing BLM mask

That’s fair—the info you shared—but it doesn’t matter at the end of the day because BLM is not a political movement. Civil Rights isn’t a political movement; it’s a humanitarian movement. If the employee wore a mask that said Trump 2020 or Biden 2020 that’s understandable, but this scenario puts Taco Bell in the same hotseat as Starbucks over their dress code policy controversy that surfaced last week.

While I agree with that, is there any info that Taco Bell itself did not allow BLM in the dress code policy? Because to me, it seems to be the manager themselves who enforced this. Taco Bell HR may not even know the full reason this person is fired.

I will agree we do need more information and hopefully we get the full story soon, but a lot of times corporate establishes the dress code policies in place for a lot of these companies. They’re basically uniforms and not wearing the proper pieces can be enough to send someone home, or if management claims that they were wearing something “offensive,” which I feel like what happened here was the manager just didn’t like the mask and took extreme measures with their employee.

Well hopefully Taco Bell responds to this - with it going viral and all. The company I work for is allowing us to wear BLM and hopefully more companies follow suit 👍🏻

Not sure if this is what you guys were talking about but on the second slide of that post it shows how his mask didn't violate the Taco Bell mask policy :selena:
