Former and current black CNN employees on Tuesday filed a class action lawsuit against Atlanta-based CNN, Turner Broadcasting and New York based parent company Time Warner for racial discrimination.
“As a result of the current discrimination lawsuit filed on behalf of DeWayne Walker vs. CNN, Time Warner & Turner, we have uncovered stories involving abuse of power, nepotism, revenge, retaliation and discrimination” said Daniel Meachum said in a press release.
The press release provided a photo of DeWayne Walker, a CNN producer who sued CNN individually in January for $50 million for racial discrimination and retaliation for filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He accused CNN of not promoting him over 13 years because he is black, skipped over frequently for promotions in favor of white employees.
According to his LinkedIn page, Walker is an integrated marketing manager at CNN.
Walker is not actually a plaintiff in this particular case but is a client of Meachum’s and his individual lawsuit is still active. Celeslie Henley, a former executive administrative assistant at CNN, and Ernest Colbert, a senior manager at TBS, are the only named plaintiffs though Meachum said 20 to 30 other unnamed current and former Turner employees helped him out with information about their experiences.
The 40-page lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in the Northern District of Georgia, said blacks – especially black males – are discriminated against in evaluations, compensation and promotions. It says based on data provided by Turner, blacks are terminated at a higher rate than whites and promoted at a significantly slower rate. And the lawsuit said written and unwritten policies and practices for performing evaluations and promotions discriminate against blacks.

Very good indeed!
I believe it, nobody is more racist than the left.
Is James Earl Jones a member of the class action?
LOL—CNN- who loves calling every republican a racist is being hit with charges of racial discrimination.
Wonderful!! If you live by the liberal sword, so shall you die.
MyGYN needs to move there and sue the bastards.
I imagine they expect them to come to work on time, act respectfully and respectably and use proper pronunciation.
So, yeah, raciss...
We can now write with impunity about the racism of the MSM.
Racist newsmedia oranization CNN!
I thought everyone knew CNN is a racist organization - it is propaganda wing of the Rat party. Cannot be any more racist than that.
AA AA trumps merit
No no no... CNN is very liberal. They like black people, really they do. Remember Bernie Shaw? Then again, they did cover a lot of stories about white celebrities wanting to move to the ‘great white north’ instead of the ‘deep dark south’. Maybe they are racist.
That, in itself, proves nothing. You'd have to ask "Why is that? Is it barely possible their work was not of the expected quality?"
And were some of these evaluations also done by blacks in CNN management?

The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion
says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature...”
