Racism Complaint Filed Against Tech Giant Apple! Victim Claims He Was Told Black Employees Dont Reach Management Read The Document Detailing His AllegationsPosted on May 29, 2014 @ 3:19AM
A shocking claim of racial discrimination has been filed against technology giant Apple and RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the document where the employee alleges that he was a denied a promotion based on the color of his skin.
Four-year Apple employee Andrew Dupree, 31, has come forward exclusively to Radar with the shocking allegations, claiming that despite bringing his accusations of racism all the way to Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, he was ignored. Now, he has taken legal action.
Dupree filed a complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations and Radar has learned it is now being investigated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Lashing out at the worldwide company founded by Steve Jobs, Dupree told Radar why he filed the complaint and is going public with his charges, despite still being employed by an Apple retail store.
I was not given a job, despite being told that I was going to be given a transfer, because of one managers racism, he said about what he allegedly faced. I blew the horn as loud as humanly possible and they did nothing. I want the focus to be on Tim Cook, Apple and their failure to address the racism in the company. Racism that they knew about.

If you are not well known and you say something like this, if it's satire you need to say so because without satire you sound like a racist troll. Even people who are pretty well known get misunderstood and should probably indicate something is satire.
So you might very well get hidden, and if so, if you aren't a racist troll, make sure you indicate something is satire in some way next time.

This article was probably written by a Samsung stooge.

And I don't know why it's considered 'shocking '
