The road department worker claims he's been subjected to discrimination for nearly a decade.

A county road department worker has filed a lawsuit alleging he was subjected to repeated verbal abuse, retaliation and was denied promotions because of his race.

It was around that time he says racist harassment began, when co-workers continually called him the n-word and “compared him to primates,” according to the suit, which was filed last week. He also filed a complaint in Superior Court in 2018 alleging disparate treatment based on race, hostile work environment based on race and retaliation, but that matter was dismissed after he reached an unspecified agreement with the county, according to the new suit.

While Butts was qualified to take on the post in a permanent capacity, and was recommended by his supervisor, the county violated Civil Service Commission rules and advertised for someone to fill the job, according to Butts. The paperwork the county had submitted to the commission indicated that Butts had been named “permanent acting road supervisor,” a post that doesn’t exist under the county’s collective bargaining agreement, according to the suit, and was not what his supervisor had submitted.

I am with you as a white woman feeling similar abuse in a progressive and unfair climate/ KEEP MOVING FORWARD, eventually it will pay off.

Put all of the evidence together, hire a team of lawyers, call activist loud mouth attorney Ben Crump and sue for millions! Everybody wins, the bill will just fall on the sheepish tax payers! They LOVE IT!

How many times did that same employee call his co-workers white cracker or honky?
