17 White City Employees Sue Flint, Michigan for Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment
2019-10-23
[Townhall] The City of Flint Michigan is in the news yet again for potentially questionable city management after 10 men and seven women filed a lawsuit on October 17 alleging that the City of Flint, colice chief Timothy Johnson, and city human resources Manager Makini Jackson displayed "a pattern of discrimination and harassment" according to ABC 12 News.

via ABC 12 News:
Throughout the 24-page document, Attorney Dean Yeotis laid out claims of reverse discrimination, citing multiple times when one of the 17 was the most qualified for a higher position, but was never given the opportunity.

Instead, the lawsuit claimed, some were demoted and others were passed up. Each time, it said, the person who received the position was an African American, who in most instances, either didn't have the qualifications, scored lower them one of the 17 on the promotion exam, or in one case, the person was "hired off the street."

The female police officers also claimed sexual harassment at the hands of Deputy Chief Devon Bernritter and Sgt. Tyrone Booth.

Indeed, the lawsuit posted below contains various alleged examples of grotesque subjugation and sexual harassment from high ranking police officers. Several of the plaintiffs claim that these public employees demanded oral sex from female staffers in order to receive promotions. After refusing, the plaintiffs allege they were punished by being demoted and transferred.

#5   No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.


Blame SCOTUS for rewriting the 14th Amendment without Article V process.

#4  Pendulum swung too far the other way? That's the problem with using identity politics to create divisions.

No such thing as reverse discrimination. There is only discrimination. Call it what it is.

#2  Ummm... colice chief Timothy Johnson ?

Sounds about right in this case, but I do think the reporter wanted to write police. Or copice at least.

#1  Well knock me over with a feather. Affirmative action results in discrimination and facilitates incompetence and reverse racism. Who could've guessed it?
