Hi. My name is Marcus Washington and for the last two years, I have embarked on an unthinkable solo journey of challenging the legitimacy of institutional racism in Hollywood (and American society) — as an attempt to ultimately understand “race” and the crippling effect the system of global white supremacy has had on the rest of the world.

According to Merriam-Webster, the word iniquity means “gross injustice” or a “wicked act or thing.” I first heard the word in Lauryn Hill’s song “Mystery of Iniquity” — off her MTV Unplugged project released in 2002. Although I always connected with the music and Hill’s message, I am embarrassed to say that it took me a decade to look up the word’s meaning. When I finally did, a light bulb went off in my head because it perfectly described the copious volumes of evidence I was uncovered which demonstrated that one of Hollywood’s largest talent agencies, formerly known as the William Morris Agency, had been engaging in a “pattern and practice” of intentional discrimination against qualified African Americans and people of color since it was founded in 1898 [114 years!], while violating anti-discrimination and antitrust laws without any court interference or regulations.

Currently, the case is before the Second Circuit appealing the erroneous decision of Judge P. Kevin Castel, who compelled this landmark civil and human rights case into arbitration after ignoring my argument, omitting pertinent facts and misapplying the law. Additionally, I am appealing the erroneous decisions of the Second Circuit which have falsely stated that the Court didn’t have jurisdiction to hear my appeal and that my appeal was denied as “moot” after demonstrating that there was a strong national interest that this case remain in the Court. As litigation possibly heads to the Supreme Court for consideration, this blog will be used to keep the world abreast of the case’s latest developments, as well share with you the knowledge that I’m receiving along the way.
