WASHINGTON, May 9 (UPI) -- Supervisors in the U.S. Secret Service exchanged e-mails with racist jokes, some of them sexual, a document filed in federal court Friday said.

“The government’s delay follows a pattern of the Secret Service stonewalling plaintiffs and ignoring court orders, depriving African-American agents of the fundamental evidence of race discrimination that is key to their claims,” he said.

Not this crap AGAIN!

I know a black Prez will stop that.

That was in 2000. Anyone who has read through a new HR manual for just about any company nowadays knows that any questionable email is cause for severe discipline and likely termination. Even a chain letter can get you in deep trouble, let alone a joke.

Liberals have eliminated humor from the workplace.

There was this Black, an Italian and a Jew............/sarc

Seriously, can someone explain to me how passing jokes is discrimination? How were they discriminated against? Did they lose their job, was a white person hired rather than them, was their pay lower??? I mean really, I am so sick of this PC crap I can’t stand it anymore.

One of the first rules in modern day computing … never, never, never, ever send anything in an email that you wouldn’t want the whole world to know. Never, never, never say anything online that you wouldn’t the whole world to know and enjoy.

After Rev Wright exposed blacks for the grifters they are, none should ever win a discrimination lawsuit again.

Even if the charges of racism are true, there is a difference between an organization being racist and people in an organization being racist. I don’t believe the Secret Service, as an organization, is racist in its policies or behavior.

Leftist no longer need to wait for their panties to bunch up. There is a company that makes them pre-bunched, just for liberals. I think it is an e-e-e-vil conservative company.
