today marks the 3 yr. anniversary of Me Against Iniquity!

I just got a notification from WordPress wishing me a Happy Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been three years already!! I never wanted to be a “blogger,” but I started this blog to bring awareness about my racial discrimination case against the oldest talent agency in Hollywood [William Morris Endeavor Entertainment], as well as shed light on the blatant corruption taking place within our nation’s inherently racist judicial system. With thousands of visitors from more than 105 countries, I can honestly say that this blog has exceeded my expectations. I look forward to seeing this blog continue to grow! Hope you are learning as much as I am! x

how sound are William Morris’ employment decisions, if the Agent Trainee they promoted to book urban contemporary acts in or around the time i submitted my resume, quit less than six months after being promoted to Agent? either way, he and the company were violating the Talent Agencies Act because he was not “licensed” to book artists before he was promoted to Agent.

She couldn’t and didn’t want to “mentor” and/or “promote” me because I was a threat to her monopolistic control over representing African American entertainers in urban contemporary music and the company had been engaging in an intentional pattern and practice of excluding qualified African Americans from being hired and/or promoted to higher status, higher paying jobs (e.g. Agent, Agent Trainee) since 1898 and still had zero African American Agents, Coordinators or Agent Trainees when I began employment in the New York office, September 2008. (“inexorable zero”) As a matter of law, this statistic alone can create “an inference” of racial discrimination, and can support [in addition to the extensive sociological jurisprudence cited] my claims that I entered into an insidiously discriminatory work environment or that many of the allegedly “negative” evaluations I received were due to the explicit and/or implicit racial biases of the evaluator. I was more qualified than majority, if not all, of my similarly situated white/”Jewish” counterparts that were hired into the Agent Trainee program during my employment, and I was more than qualified to have been hired as a music Agent. Based on my qualifications and relevant work experience, this would have happened had I been white and/or “Jewish.” No matter how well I got along with people or how nice some people may have appeared to be, racism was embedded into the culture of the company, and it didn’t help that the company was founded and over-represented by a group of people who falsely believe that they are “God’s chosen people” and walk around like their own shit doesn’t stink. [The original Jews are not European and/or white — something I did not know while working at the company.] This also did not help my chances of advancing [From 2000 to 2010, white/”Jewish Agent Trainees in the New York office had a reported 10 percent rate of promotion to Agent while African American Agent Trainees had a zero percent rate of promotion. Also, in the first decade of the 21st century, only one African American was hired to work as an Agent in the New York office (e.g., Mamie Baron, the first African American literary Agent in the department’s then 58 year history). When I began employment, there were 50 Agents employed. One was Asian, and the rest were white/ “Jewish. This is not accidental or “due to chance.” The company is highly conscious of race.]

When I began this case nearly four years ago, Michael P. Zweig and Christian Carbone of Loeb & Loeb LLP argued that my employment discrimination claims were “wholly without merit, legally and factually,” yet, they have not refuted the pyramid of historical, statistical, circumstantial, anecdotal, smoking gun, documentary and other forms of evidence supporting all of the claims that I have raised not only against William Morris, Loeb & Loeb LLP, Michael P. Zweig and Christian Carbone, but P. Kevin Castel, the American Arbitration Association, Timothy K. Lewis, Schnader LLP, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and others that are involved in this sinister conspiracy to interfere with the human rights of people of African descent, or in the alternative, conspiracy to maintain global white/”Jewish” supremacy (racism). Through fraud, William Morris has won another racial discrimination case in the federal court while evidence of intentional systemic disparate treatment have been ignored by the finders of fact, been awarded $43,707.60 due to my alleged “bad faith” conduct and received a filing injunction against me to prevent me from suing those who have conspired to ensure that I would be deprived of my full constitutional and statutory rights under the color of law! AmeriKKKan justice at its finest. America cannot survive too much longer under these conditions. No country could. President Obama and Congress need to step in immediately and rectify this issue. P. Kevin Castel needs to be impeached. Extreme disciplinary and monetary sanctions need to be imposed against William Morris, Loeb & Loeb LLP, Michael P. Zweig and Christian Carbone, including default judgment, disbarment and $250 million.

“Such subjective decision-making processes, are particularly susceptible to being influenced not by overt bigotry and hatred, but rather by unexamined assumptions about others that the decisionmaker may not even be aware of — hence the difficulty of ferreting out discrimination as a motivating factor.”
