Black Employees At NYC TGI Friday’s Claim They Were Replaced With Light-Skinned Workers

By Ruth Manuel-Logan

 

A group of African-American workers at a Manhattan TGI Friday’s restaurant filed a class-action discrimination suit when they were allegedly replaced by lighter-skinned employees after the eatery moved to a new location, states the New York Daily News.

The lawsuit was filed on Thursday at the Bronx Supreme Court. According to reports, the group of black workers let their feelings be known to the higher-ups about the blatantly racist move, but one manager in particular reportedly informed one of the plaintiffs that his preference was to employ a Hispanic staff because of their diligent work ethic.

“It was their opinion that black people were lazy,” Lisa Baker, 48, a waitress, who spoke to the newspaper, said. “We weren’t even given a chance.”

Cops Publicly Execute #AntonioZambranoMontes after he put his Hands Up

Pasco, WA — A man was publicly executed by Pasco police Tuesday as dozens of witnesses, including children, watched in horror.

A cell phone video uploaded to Facebook Wednesday shows several officers chasing down the fleeing man, who had his hands in the air, and then firing multiple rounds at him.

Police have not yet released the man’s identity.

The stop occurred after the man was acting erratically by the roadway. Officers were responding to a complaint that the man threw a rock at a passing vehicle.

According to the Tri-city Herald, Police tried to shock him with a Taser, but it had little effect on him, said Ben Patrick, who was just yards away in the grocery store parking lot with his family when the shooting happened.

“The guy was trying to pull the Taser (prongs) out of his arm,” a witness said.

The man allegedly ran towards officers who immediately began firing at him. After being shot at the first time, the man took off running, with his hands in the air. The second video shows him trying to surrender to police when multiple shots are fired at him, killing him.
