Bass Pro Shop?????

[Bgscott]

After a weeks worth of Dog hunters vs. Still hunters, fella's it ultimately turns the pit of my stomach to see that the upper manage that represent Bass Pro Shop would stoop to the level in which they did. They didn't say which Louisiana store was founded in violation of such shameful disregard. But as we know we only have 2 stores in Louisiana with possible future store that is supposed to be located in New Orleans. Do your own math.
Knowing that these types of things still exist, it's such ashame that folks still can't find common ground in society. You think that currency $$$ would put a silence to these types of happening. Meaning the major corporations like the Bass Pro's in the world would be pro-diversity and wouldn't this affect their cash flow. But as of today it looks like they aren't - Which means I will not be spending my money with Bass Pro anymore. Go an google Bass Pro EEOC Violation.

Really.......Have you researched all of the reports and evidence? Looks to me like someone is trying to make an easy buck. This has already been discussed in the lounge. I think you should look at some of the comments on there and do some research before you make comments like this.

What happen to innocent until proven guilty ? Just cause someone acusses them does not mean they made a violation. Think I will reserve judgement till all the facts are out.

IMO, i think it's a bit early to say if there is any wrong doing. This will take some time to sort out looks like. And BG it's not only Louisiana, it's a few more states as well.

Seriously??? If thats all it takes then you can do just that. But I guess your point is your a better person than the rest of us...or are we to join your "Mock" boycott??? I need more information and will also say i would be surprised if this actually stays in place!! I will say this here as I did the lounge....I don't care what color shape or style the floor staff come in...As long as they are knowledgeable and clear ENGLISH speaking!!! No peirced tongues mumbling etc...I never took it from my kids and absolutely will not buy from a company that becomes overly political

Affirmitive Action = a black eye on the american job market (pun intended).

Yeah....lets hire an unqualified minority just for the color of his skin/his religion/or whatever and let the qualified white dude find something else. Don't even get me started. This subject pisses me off to the inth degree. Especially when you've personally witness scumbags coming to an interview just to get a sheet of paper signed that they were there so that they can stay on un-employment.

There shouldn't even be this EEOC bullsh!t......it should be whoever is qualified for the job gets it, end of story.

I haven't bought anything at BPS since before they opened in LA. They seem to be doing alright without me.

[DOUGMCGEEFTD]

I read the article and I personally don't think bass pro should have to prove there innocence . I think eeoc or accuser should have to prove their guilt. At same time if they did a 4 yr investigation and are now filing suit something is probably not right. Guess only time will tell

No....I meant those who choose to live off the government via unemployment and welfare are scumbags. It just so happens that most, not all, are minorities in this state. That scumbag comment also can be quantified if you were to look at the penal demographic statistics. It may be different in LA.

Fellas, I know the intent BG posted on the subject, and why he would be upset. Life is full of lessons if you are willing to educate yourself and learn. I think back to the time of childhood , when I was about 9 years old fishing from the bank from what is now called Pier 90. I met another 9 year old fella,( black kid), who was serious about bass fishing, and we became friends for life. We went on trips across this nation and the south when we got out of school. I remember Jay and me checking into a cabin just south of Zwolle, La. for a few days of fishing over 40 years ago, and when the owners found out I had a black fellow with me, they kicked us out and burned the sheets that were on the beds. I could recount many incidents we encountered back then, some pretty serious...we just wanted to fish. Ya have to be able to put yourself into another person's shoes to realize the issues they have dealt with. I've been there, done it, and I kinda understand.

Lightfoot.....Please read MY statement prior to this one and understand that you are impressed with BG's view and accusing me (whom you do NOT know) of prejudice. Let me help you out with MY view!!!!

I will accept help from anyone that is willing to assist me in a professional manner! They must have the knowledge to enlighten me on a product, its location, or its equivilent. This is the guideline for qualified. You would NOT want me doing your open heart surgery...even though I read the book right???? So your view is that they are guilty because minorities do NOT want the job at its pay scale ORRRRRRRRR are not qualified to tell you about the latest and greatest shimano g loomis etc....I promise from your statements You my friend are more prejudice than most on here...You want to talk minority....I AM HAlf NATIVE AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and the whites were brought over....Before you see reparations...I want all my land back
Now again....I have seen many businesses that will NOT hire my white azz and the law can't help me

Again, sooooooo Bass Pro is guilty???? Because the Guy in Zwolle burnt the sheets....The INTENT to discriminate must be proven!!!!! I know there aren't alot of African American people who want to work in Bass Pro....Most who are in to the outdoors have better paying jobs than working there...That being said...I have seen several minorities working in BPS's here and there...

[lakebouef5]

Didn't say anything about Bass Pro Shop's problems....I said I can understand why some folks are suspicious of something like this happening. It's kind of a tough subject to discuss because there are so many super intelligent people who know everything already.

[BasinDawg]

Understood I was merely asking for clarity
