    And while the boundary can be somewhat subjective, I'd never fire someone just for having a dark, crude, or nihilistic sense of humour (which I enjoy). I'd never fire someone for having different political beliefs in so far as they don't lead them to harass my employees.
    I can understand firing someone for blatant things like that.

    However, what If the individual simply stated they disagree with BLM and think it's a hypocritical movement?

    Would It worsen things If said person was Black?

    Did you really say that to your boss though, or did you make it up?

    I wouldn't fire someone for that. But if, say, half a dozen employees decide to walk out because of it, then I'd probably have no choice.
