Black women's book club win $11m discrimination lawsuit against train company after they were kicked off a Napa wine tour for 'laughing too loudly'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3547267/Black-women-s-book-club-win-11m-discrimination-lawsuit-against-train-company-kicked-Napa-wine-tour-laughing-loudly.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3547267/Black-women-s-book-club-win-11m-discrimination-lawsuit-against-train-company-kicked-Napa-wine-tour-laughing-loudly.html)
A group of women who filed a $11million racial discrimination complaint after being removed from a train during a wine tour have reached a settlement.
The 11-strong party, which included 10 African-Americans, were ordered off the Napa Valley vintage trip last August after other passengers allegedly complained they were being too loud.
They filed a lawsuit asking for $1m each after claiming they were humiliated and discriminated against by staff who told them several times to lower their voices.
Their lawyer yesterday revealed they have come to an 'amicable settlement' six months after filing the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in northern California.

Waukeen McCoy, who did not disclose the terms of the settlement, said: 'We hope that other businesses learn from this case and implement diversity and sensitivity training for employees.'
Train company officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
The women, who are members of a book club called Sisters on the Reading Edge, boarded the train in Napa on August 22.

Holy shit, a $1,000,000 plus for that. Sends a bad message to anyone in the service industry.
-
Had it been a group of white lasses they would have had the case thrown out and probably heavily fined.
-
Ridiculous...

muscatels gonna muscatel

So having been mildly incovenienced and upset is emotional pain equal to 1 million dollars?

I guess those snow beasts learned an expensive message didn't they?

X1000, you have no idea how fucking ridiculously loud and obnoxious they are. What a joke this is, how the hell did they agree to settle

Segregated wine tours... that's the ticket.
-
I dont understand how they can claim the tour company was discriminatory, if they had been they wouldn't have been on the train in the first place.
-
They went after $11m, they didn't get $11m.
But even if they got $11 it shows the white guilt that runs too many US institutions. There needs to be an acceptance that some races of people work harder, contribute more, and follow the rules better than others.

Don't worry... the coming economic collapse and preceding civil/race war will sort a lot of this stuff out.
Buy ammo now while it's still cheap and available.

Where I live in LA will be fine. You can't siphon gas from a Tesla, no sneaker stores, and too many hills for the lazy bastards to climb up.

Los Angeles or Louisiana?
After they pillage and burn down own neighborhoods first, then they move to the nicer areas.

DAMN!
Almost makes you wish you were a blackie!
Talk about easy money (million dollars just for chuckin', jivin', tootin' and hollerin'!!!) complaining about discrimination all the time!

im going to guess that booking for wine tours by blacks
will be at a record high

I wonder if that single white woman in the group gets anything?... probably not.

Los Angeles.
The only blacks I see on the westside are the occasional waiter, cop, or aggressive bum in Santa Monica.

And imagine if us regular folks would complain on a thing like that.
We wouldnt get one single cent! :D

So, no concern for Inglehood and Compton kneegrows that live 5-15 miles Southeast of you? The entire LA area is going to be a zoo full of anrgy primates when the shit hits the fan.

Always a concern. The more time I live in the US the more I think they should give blacks a couple of their own states for a few years, then let them back in once the real world order has been imprinted on everyone's minds.

their lawyers will take more of that money. Keesha will get $50K when it's all done after taxes. Enough to get longer finder nails and a new weave.

Exactly. Is a cultural thing. The train company should have known there would be a bunch of hootin and hollerin. The amount seems very excessive but in today's white guilt world the liberal courts must protect their pets.

Pretty sure there are no taxes paid on lawsuits.
