Black House staffer files lawsuit alleging hostile work environment and discrimination (democrat Rep.)

A Black staffer for Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) has sued her employer, saying her supervisor made a comment about lynching to her and that reporting the problem resulted in race-based retaliation against her.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Patrice Campbell, who serves as a constituent services representative, said her supervisor Karyn Davidman “created an intolerable hostile work environment” against Campbell because of her race.

According to Campbell’s lawsuit, at the beginning of March, Davidman was telling a story about constituents using lanyards to keep face masks around their necks and followed it by telling Campbell, “You are going to have to get a rope and put it around your neck.” Campbell, who is the only Black staffer in Schneider’s office, said her comments were an inappropriate reference to lynching, and Davidman responded that the “rope” was in fact a “lanyard” for masks.

On a staff video call the next day, Davidman instructed Campbell to turn her camera on while she “laughed hysterically” and recounted the story, according to the lawsuit. Campbell said Davidman then called her after the video conference to continue mocking her, saying “You should have seen your face when I told that story!”

She was offended by her boss, who happens to be named Karyn.

Dems can’t allow any whistle-blowers on the plantation. They will find a way to retaliate.

Maybe Patrice will realize now that white leftists don’t give a s**t about black people other than to use them in their pursuit of power, but then again probably not.

Either that is a crappy haircut or a crappy hairpiece.

I can’t decide.

Strange that the party affiliation of the Congresscritter at issue is not in the headline. It is not in the sub-headline. It is not in the caption underneath the lead photo. It is almost as if they don’t want to mention that it is a Democrat.

—”How many Black Women were ever lynched?”

This was the first to pop up?

Between 1880 and 1930, close to 200 women were murdered by lynch mobs in the American South, according to historian Crystal Feimster.
