Fort Worth Employee Claims Racial Discrimination in Lawsuit--"We freed y'all,"
A black city employee in Fort Worth claims he was cheated out of promotions, stereotyped, and subjected to racial slurs, including one in which another employee told him, “We freed y'all.”
The allegations come in a civil rights lawsuit filed in Tarrant County District Court last week by an employee of the city parks department, Darrenn Foreman. See the lawsuit here.
In February, the lawsuit claims another employee “in response to a directive to perform a task, resisted and said, 'We freed ya’ll.’”
City spokesman Bill Begley said the city generally does not comment on pending lawsuits.
