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

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.

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.

Los Angeles.

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