and whether I was an employee or not, it still doesn’t change the fact that a “private attorneys general” could, under DISPARATE IMPACT theory alone, pursue and prevail on claims that William Morris is violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, New York City Human Rights Laws and additional antidiscrimination statutes prohibiting discrimination in employment on the basis of race…

Since disparate impact theory was restored through the 1991 Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is clear with my case that our nation’s majority conservative judiciary has been successful at weakening this theory once again. In 2009, one Republican appointed Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia stated in Ricci v. DeStefano, that disparate impact was quite possibly “unconstitutional” and constituted disparate treatment against whites. My case clearly proves otherwise, which is why — consciously and/or unconsciously — all of the finders of fact that have been involved in my case, have tried so hard to ignore the pyramid of historical and statistical evidence demonstrating William Morris’ intentional violations of the Civil Rights Act  predating, as well as occurring during, my employment. Of course William Morris and Loeb & Loeb LLP could play their games of ignorance and pretend that this evidence was never mentioned and/or is irrelevant to the overall claims that I have raised in this case (e.g. which include violations of antitrust law and conspiracy to interfere with human rights of people of African descent), but the same cannot be said for the finder of fact challenging the institutionally racist practices, policies and procedures of William Morris, given that s/he is presumed to be “impartial,” “neutral,” “independent,” “ethical,” “objective” etc., has a duty to “administer justice without respect to persons” and “faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon [a federal judge] under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” It has been 50 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed and 23 years since it was last amended. It is clear that this law must be strengthened in order to eradicate structural and institutionalized forms of racism that still persist throughout the American workplace.

If you are African American (or a person of color) who applied to William Morris’ Agent Trainee program in New York of Beverly Hills between 2000 and present, and was rejected,  please contact me at humanrights.areamust@gmail.com. Also, if you were hired and feel you were discriminated against because of your race, color and/or national origin, contact me as well and share your story.
