Immediately contact your supervisor or Human Resources and file a complaint for harassment and discrimination. That type of behavior is not allowable in the workplace. It is also creating a hostile work environment for you.
Ensure you have the proper documentation and any witnesses. If this type of behavior could be validated it would be immediate termination under my Company policy.

I'm so sorry this has happend ! You need to report this to your immediate supervisor. Tell him/her that you really need to keep this job but you can not work under these circumstances. Maybe an investigator could be put into position so that you can have proof of what is happening to you...just in case you have to go to court. Don't be afraid and by all means let the supervisor know that you were advised that it is his/her duty to do something about this situation.
On the other hand, you know that education is the key to success right? So, if you're not in school I want you to start thinking about what you "like to do", find a major and GO FOR IT! You can not work a dead end job all of your life nor do you have time to DREAM about better ones.
Whatever you do, please don't blame an entire race for the actions of a bunch of worthless idiots. Be Safe and You are in My Prayers!

Go to the Human Relations Mgr or Personnel manager if you have one at this factory. Tell them that you want to improve your self and need assistance in getting some experience (Education if possible or a trade school or program from your State.)
Look a little ahead to the future to get yourself out of that factory and equip yourself with some training from what ever sources you can get ASAP.

First I'd go to Human Resources and report the problems, have them documented with a copy for you file at work and a file for you. Talk to a Public Defender and have that documented, then contact your nearest NAACP and tell them about this. Yes, you're white, but they want the trash taken out too.
Go online to www.NAACP.org. I think they might take this seriously on your behalf.

Get a tape recorder and record the name calling, harrassment and especially the threats. Then take a copy to your boss, if nothing is done get in touch with the police and legal aid. If your boss refuses to do anything you can sue the company and your boss personally.
