The former employee alleges 'anti-racism' policies at American Express fostered 'tremendous animosity'
...
A former American Express employee filed a class-action complaint .. alleging that the credit card company exhibited "callous indifference" to civil rights law by terminating him because he is White and spoke out against its "racially discriminatory" policies.
Brian Netzel, who worked a decade for Amex until he was terminated in 2020 .. he sued the company on behalf of himself and potentially thousands of other similarly situated employees
...
The lawsuit alleges that amid the racial tensions roiling the U.S. in 2020, Amex implemented "anti-racism" policies throughout its corporate structure that "gave preferential treatment to individuals for being Black and unambiguously signaled to White employees that their race was an impediment to getting ahead in the company."
Netzel said such policies fostered a workplace rife with "a tremendous amount of animosity" in which White employees were unfairly punished or passed over for promotions, while some Black employees were promoted merely to meet racial quotas and employees were encouraged to "root out in McCarthy-era fashion people who didn't agree with this overall philosophy."
...
CEO Stephen Squeri reportedly engaged in "what amounted to an emotional tirade against police, against systemic racism in the U.S. and within American Express."
"He made it clear that you needed to fight this with him, or you needed to find another place to work," Netzel said of Squeri...
...
The lawsuit's claims echo previous allegations of discrimination Amex has faced. In 2021, five current and former employees told FOX Business on condition of anonymity that the company engaged in "reverse discrimination" against White employees, barring them from promotions and steeping the workplace in the tenets of critical race theory. Amex categorically denied the accusations at the time.

Zero tolerance for this BS. Pay the fine and fire the racist #s
LOVE that DIVERSITY!!!!!
I predict it will be a big payout and SCOTUS (including Roberts) will uphold it. Roberts sides with us on Affirmative Action, race baiting, guns, and religion. He goes against us on government overreach and abortion.
This trickle of lawsuits needs to become a deluge. The CRT/DEI racism now being pushed in companies is a direct violation of rights, going back to the 1965 Act. My CEO has said somethings that are dangerously close to what this guy said.
btt
There should be a class action suit against casting directors for TV ads since there are virtually no caucasians in them anymore.
I personally know another company that needs the same lawsuit.
Only minorities, including the majority “women” minority, are promoted.
What a dweeb. Scratch a tolerant liberal, find a ruthless tyrant.
At least FOX capitalizes “White”.
Good
decent summary on Roberts
The old Karl Malden ads for Amex would no doubt enrage him.
Well, at least we know where Justin Trudeau’s eyebrows are!
*SMIRK*
most companies have been hiring mostly indians for 20 yrs.
when you’re in a group call of 30-60 people and you’re the only non-indian... it’s pretty obvious.
plenty of financial and IT companies would fair poorly if their demographics were compared to the country. that being... having 70% white employees.
All for it.
Now if only we’d see CLASS-ACTION lawsuits of tons of white people standingnup together against these virtue-signaling tyrants.
“no person” Statutorily and Constitutionally
MEANS JUST THAT NO PERSON
It doesn’t mean “affirmative action” It doesn’t mean “diversity” It certainly doesn’t mean QUOTAS
It means NO PERSON WHITE ASIAN JEWISH shall be discriminated against
NO F EXCEPTIONS
Sue the Bastards It’s NEVER their jobs promotions or admissions that are at risk
He’s making/stealing $20 million a year and doesn’t want the gravy train to stop.
Didn’t he dissent on the “Good Cause” CCW case?
Just cancelled my card
