m&t bank racism

M&T Bank

A lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan in February accused one of the nation’s largest banks, M&T Bank, of racial discrimination and even had secret tapings to back its claims. The lawsuit was filed by the Fair Housing Justice Center in New York that is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. From 2012 to 2014, the Fair Housing Justice Center sent actors of different racial backgrounds to the bank to see if they would qualify for a mortgage. Black, Latino and Asian homebuyers were frequently denied mortgages, although they presented better incomes and credit scores than the white actors. Many of the interactions were secretly taped. The lawsuit also claims that the bank was caught encouraging homebuyers to move to certain neighborhoods based on their race and, in many instances, urging Black homebuyers to avoid moving into neighborhoods that were predominantly white.

Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfiger

Rumor had it that the famed designer did an interview with The Oprah Winfrey Show, revealing that if he’d known that blacks were wearing his clothes, he would have never designed them. Soon after, the designer’s representatives sent out notices trying to put an end to the myth, stating that he’d never been on Oprah’s show and that the accusations were false and defamatory. But proponents of the accusations continued to boycott Hilfiger and his designs – even after his visit to Oprah to clear up the rumors. Join the converstation!

Cristal Champagne

When Jay Z speaks, the world listens. This was the case in 2006 when Mr. Carter accused the luxury brand of being racist due to comments made by Cristal managing director Fredric Rouzaud. Rouzaud inferred that Cristal’s association with the flashy hip-hop lifestyle could be detrimental to the brand. Jigga responded, telling the Associated Press that he viewed the comments as “racist” and will “no longer support any of their products.” Join the conversation!

fox news racism

Fox News

Too many complaints against Fox News to list them here. The news station has been under fire for allowing journalist to say all manner of terrible things against Black Lives Matter while at the same time their journalist toot and spread vicious lies of the former US president, Donald Trump. Two black employees sued Judith Slater, the company’s comptroller, for racial harassment, and the network for ignoring their claims of discrimination. Fox News, Faith Faith, Fox News, Fox Business — boycott! Fox clearly doesn’t care about black people. Watch your sports and news on another TV station. Join the conversation!
