MARSHALL, Mich. (WLNS)– A brewery in Marshall fired one of its employees for what many are calling a racist Snapchat post.

It took less than a day for Dark Hose Brewing Company to fire one of its employees after a screenshot of his post hit the web.

A former classmate posted the screenshot on Facebook on Friday morning. That post has since been shared over 17,000 times.

The man used a racial slur referring to hunting black people in the photo. Hours after his classmate posted the screenshot online, Dark Horse responded on their own Facebook page, calling the photo repulsive and saying they were “appalled” that one of their employees would make that kind of post. They also added that he no longer works for the restaurant.

In a statement to the Detroit Free Press, the man in the photo said he didn’t think his post should’ve gotten him fired because the post wasn’t work-related. He also posted a response on his own Facebook page, apologizing to anyone he offended with the photo’s caption. He said he doesn’t have any intentions of harming anyone of any race.

We reached out to the man in the photo and the restaurant today for comment, but did not get a response.
