The Young Turks, the progressive news and media company, has been sued by a former employee who alleged he was subjected to discriminatory treatment and ultimately fired because he is black.
Andrew Jones, a black journalist who worked for TYT Network for six months in 2017, alleged that he was held to a different standard than white colleagues. Jones claimed he was fired after he refused to sign a severance agreement under which he would agree to not sue TYT Network for racial discrimination.
Joness lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and punitive damages of at least $75,000, plus attorneys fees and litigation costs. He says he suffered economic injury in the form of lost wages and a harmed reputation as well as considerable emotional distress, according to the lawsuit.

Another libtard falls on his own sword.
The original “Young Turks” also turned out to be a disaster for Turkey: perpetrating genocide against Armenian and Assyrian Christians and losing a catastrophic war. It is not an auspicious name.
I hear “Young Turks” and all I can think of is that crappy Rod Stewart song.

I thought it was David Bowie?
Bowie did “Young Americans”.
I stand corrected.
Well, “Young Americans” is a better song, so I’ll just go with that.
