Black Detroit man wins a racial discrimination lawsuit against his job and gets a $99,000 settlement. He walks into TCF Bank to deposit the checks, three cheques from his former employer. The tellers look at him, decide it’s fake, and straight-up call the police.
Four cops show up and grill this Air Force vet for over an hour like he’s running a scam. He shows proof, calls his lawyer, still no dice. So he closes his account on the spot, walks to Chase down the street, and the checks clear in 12 hours.
Then he does what any real one would do: sues the BANK for discrimination too. They settled out of court. Twice in a row.
You can’t make this up.
@todivinefire I think it's genuinely difficult for people always represented to understand the impact of feeling representation.
When I talk about the impact of knowing dark skinned WOC had on me, an adoptee who grew up in a 96% white town, white people act like I'm speaking an alien language
I remember that backlash & people asking those reporters if they’d ever been to the offices of Jet, Ebony, BET, etc and the credulous looks on reporters faces who had never heard of those companies. It just reinforces we HAVE to KNOW THEM but they don’t even bother to KNOW US 🤷🏾♀️
@LASHYBILLS Not gone lie.. as someone who’s working on a building project…hearing that them white folks tried to get off with a fake survey really gets under my skin. That’s why knowing things for yourself is so important.. imagine not knowing any better and taking it at face value.
@Sadmethod It's quite simple gay men dont like women and gay women dont like men. Now mind you business. Mfs always the furthest away from their own business minding someone else's. It's giving weird and obsessed
With Love💙💙💙
@PastorTrey05 She nailed it… I never wanted to be a pilot but I have wanted to be GM of a basketball team, I feel like that’s one I can use my DEI card for.
