SONY BMG AXES BLACKS ONLY: Label found to have discriminated in layoffs.
(January 10, 2007)
Sony BMG, which is home to artists like Beyonce and Christina Aguilera, was recently found to have discriminated against its Black employees in its Manhattan office during layoffs in 2004.
The company went through a merger and restructuring in the summer of 2004 and the New York office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) found the company guilty of discrimination against its Black employees. The EEOC found that the six Blacks in its Manhattan office were issued pink slips, but none of their white counterparts. The only black worker that remained was a mail clerk. Of the six Blacks fired, three accepted severance packages and three were asked to leave "involuntarily." None of eight whites and one Asian at the office were given the ax.
This ruling gives former field marketing rep Tamieka Blair, 32, the right to sue Sony BMG, saying she "was the victim of race discrimination."
Blair, who introduced new releases to Long Island music stores, told The New York Post she loved her $31,000-a-year job. She went on to explain that she initially accepted her layoff after a boss told her "it was just a numbers game." But once the workers who were fired compared notes with each other, "we realized it was all the black people," she said.
Sony BMG maintains that it based its layoff decisions on job performance, but the EEOC said the company had "no documented procedure for determining who the best players were," and "lacked performance standards."
Ms. Blair, via lawyer Mitchell Carlinsky, will file suit this week in Brooklyn federal court holding the company accountable.

This brings me to mind of Michael's Demo Speech against Sony! It proves that Micahel was right all along and here is the proof because they were found GUILTY!!!
What pisses me off more is when fans have the audacity to say that there is no conspiracy and Michael was just having a tantrum over the sales of Invincilbe. THat's right theses same "fans" accuse him of playing the "race card"
Now the proof is in the pudding about Sony BMG and now I am awaiting the artist signed to this label of HATE reactions. It's a prime example of how racism is still existant even in the coporate world of the MACHINE!
I could go on and on but I am SO MAD
hnoyoudidnt
This is what makes my :8-26-03respect: for Michael grows deeper because he stood up and called these racist :censored out long time ago and like my English Professor once said, "A genius is never appreciated in their time because they are ahead of their time. They are always shunned because the world is not thinking of the the future; they are only concerned with now."
Michael told about this way before 2004 and what did Murdock's crew do?
They use the likes of Wendy Murphy, Flo the Gossip HO Anthony and Toure among others; who don't represent a third of the black community to voice out on FOX news, VH1, Court TV and other media outlets be it radio or television even the internet to say "oh he is crying racism or this man don't know what he is talking about. "Oh I wouldn't go there oh he is just saying that because the album sucked." - Toure
"Oh if this was the Michael 10 15 20 years ago then people would take him seriously" -Wendy Murphy
He has issues with Sony and his album sales because he is no longer the King Of Pop" - The baldheaded biatch that was former Editor of Vibe Magazine (she's always on VH1 doing commentary now life must be ROUGH as her edges)
"The black community thinks he is a joke" - Toure
I'm sorry you all but I feel vindicated knowing that the TRUTH among their hate and :bs is coming to light!
This I feel should be spreaded amongst you all so you can see the big picture and who really are the jokes and fools. Because what pisses me off is these idiots think they truly are speaking for me and others in the black community. When in all honesty they just made an :censored of themselves!
Man I need to calm down but oooooooohhnoyoudidnt
