Tesla segregated Black workers into separate areas that its employees referred to as “porch monkey stations,” “the dark side,” “the slave ship” and “the plantation,” the lawsuit alleges.
Only Black workers had to scrub floors on their hands and knees, and they were relegated to the Fremont, Calif., factory’s most difficult physical jobs, the suit states.

This is terrible, if true.
But, some of this sounds suspicious. Noose imagery has been associated with too many hoaxes lately. "Slave ship" and "the plantation," sound suspect to me as well. This is all stuff that some Black people imagine White people are thinking. But even racist white people don't like to talk about slavery and lynching unless they are hardcore neonazi types.
