Röbynn Europe, a Black woman and former personal training manager at Equinox, was awarded $11.25 million after a jury found she was fired due to race and gender discrimination.
Between 2018 and 2019, she was terminated after being late 47 times over about 10 months. Equinox claimed it was an attendance issue, but Europe presented evidence of a hostile work environment, racist and sexist comments from colleagues, and inconsistent enforcement of rules for non-Black employees.
A federal jury in New York sided with her in May 2023, awarding $1.25 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. This is what accountability looks like! 👏🏾
🚨 DRIVING WHILE BLACK: Cop climbs into car and beats Black driver for asking to speak to a supervisor.
Craig Manning says he was racially targeted during a traffic stop.
He made a LEGAL left turn, got pulled over, and asked to speak to a supervisor before handing over his license or exiting the vehicle.
Dashcam footage shows an officer climbing into his car and punching him several times in the face and head. He was charged with traffic violations and resisting arrest.
He’s now planning to sue Suffolk County Police and the officers.
His attorneys say it was because he’s Black and note he had the camera installed out of fear of “driving while Black.”
Another case of police using fists on a Black driver who simply wanted basic rights.
How many more Black men have to get beaten on camera before these cops face real consequences?

🚨 HATE CRIME? Racist White man with AR-15 and body armor OPENS FIRE on Black family Reunion gathering after shouting slurs
In Leesburg, Lee County, Georgia, on Sunday, a family was having a gathering when Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer leaned out of a car and started hurling racial slurs at them.
Minutes later he returned on foot wearing body armor and carrying an AR-15-style rifle, then opened fire on the group.
The family says it was a clear racially motivated attack.
Kinzer was shot by a 62 year old Marine veteran who stated he wanted to protect roughly 20 children at the gathering.
Sheriff’s Office says it started as a verbal altercation, but witnesses confirm the racial slurs. More charges are expected.
Another white man geared up like he was going to war against a Black family.
