Blacks Harass Other Blacks for Acting White – School Disctrict Pays $150,000 to Settle Lawsuit

Dolan Media Newswire:  “Two Williamsburg County students and members of their family have reached a $150,000 settlement in what may be the first Title VI lawsuit based on claims of intra-racial discrimination in South Carolina public schools. . . . The two students each received $50,000, and two family members who filed the suits on their behalf received $25,000 apiece. . . .  Title VI prohibits allowing a racially hostile educational environment in schools and programs receiving federal financial assistance and provides for a private cause of action for violations. . . .  [The younger student] claimed she suffered emotional trauma because she was subjected to racial and sexual slurs at . . . elementary school . . . Despite complaints, school administrative staff and district officials allowed the abuse to ‘ecalate to the point where [she] was physically threatened, assaulted and battered,’ the suit alleged.  ‘You have a culture where to act like you want to do well in school is considered acting white.  And that is part of why we’re saying that it was racial, even though the students were all of the same race because they weren’t acting how the others thought they should be acting as members of that race’ . . . .”

Party Crashers: A trail of accusations leads to Tareq and Michaele Salahi

Washington Post:  “Before they gained international notoriety by walking into the White House without an invitation, Tareq and Michaele Salahi were well known inside courthouses all around the capital area. A review of court records shows that more than 30 lawsuits in Virginia and Maryland have been filed against one or both of the Salahis, or a company they ran, since 2004.  Some cases are pending, and some were settled out of court.  Many times the judges ordered the couple to pay their bills but they haven’t yet.  In rare cases, the Salahis won. 

The picture that emerges from court documents and interviews with detectives, sheriff’s deputies and two dozen people who say they were bilked is that the Salahis created for themselves a fantastic world of champagne bubbles and fashion, famous friends and jet-setting good times, when, in fact, the reality was far different.”
