Rights Leaders Condemn ‘Boy’ Ruling
(AJC) — Civil rights leaders are denouncing an Atlanta appeals court ruling that testimony about a white supervisor calling a black employee “boy” cannot be used as evidence of race discrimination. In a motion filed last week, eleven civil rights pioneers asked the court to reconsider its finding that a plant manager’s alleged use of the word “boy” was “conversational” and amounted to “ambiguous stray remarks” that were not made in the context of employment decisions. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the comments did not show racial animosity.
