heads up: her discrimination suit she filed most certainly claims discrimination for being white
?Had an African-American journalist said the same thing, it wouldn?t have generated the same quote-outcry-unquote,? her attorney, Sam Cordes, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Monday after the suit was filed. ?What she said was benign at best. President Obama has said similar things.?
The lawsuit claims that WTAE-TV, an affiliate of Hearst Television, violated the Civil Rights Act when it fired Bell. She wants her job reinstated and to be compensated for backpay and attorney fees.
?Had Ms. Bell written the same comments about white criminal suspects or had her race not been white, Defendant would not have fired her, much less disciplined her,? the suit claims.
