Wow Daimler… Really? “No place for n—ers here” ? Daimler Trucks North America Being Investigated Over Discrimination Claims This place definitely seems like a terrible work environment for people of color . According to KGW reports : A investigation into Daimler Trucks North America has expanded after four more employees opened civil rights complaints against the Portland-based company. Nine Daimler employees from its North Portland facility have now filed complaints, in addition to the commissioner’s complaint filed by Brad Avakian, according to Charlie Burr, spokesman for the Bureau of Labor and Industries. The new complaints include allegations of discrimination based on age, race and ethnicity, including racial epithets and failure of management. They also include retaliation for voicing concerns, which can include firing, being moved to a different job or getting passed over for a promotion. Among the complainants is a Native American employee who “may have been forced to leave his position because of working conditions at the North Portland facility,” Burr said. According to his complaint, the Native American employee said he was harassed and pressured by his team leader to do extra work or work outside his job description because of his race. The team leader was also accused of pushing the employee against the hood of a truck, challenging him to a fight. That employee said he felt he had no choice but to resign. Another black employee said he was called racist names and challenged to fights, told to take heated conversations “to the boat ramp,” and given a drug test when he reported the incidents. Avakian’s commissioners complaint was filed September 25, on behalf of five employees who claimed to have been called racist names including “ni**er,” “boy,” “Toby” and “buckwheat.” One of those African-American employees also alleged that a white Daimler coworker threatened him with a noose and said he would drag the employee behind his car. On September 18, an African-American woman filed a similar complaint, alleging she was discriminated against based on her race, age and religion. The woman was allegedly called derogatory names in German and, after working at the company for a year, a sign was placed on her chair that read “no place for ni**ers here.” She blamed Daimler’s “pro-German culture” on creating a hostile work environment for minorities. SMH. This is just terrible. Of course Daimler Trucks has released a statement claiming it doesn’t tolerate discrimination and trains employees to avoid it. But it sounds like some folks need more than training because clearly some violations have occurred. Taina Sohlman / Shutterstock.com

Was it really that fawking serious lady?!?! Mom Rips Out Daughter’s Hair For Not Being Able To Count A Pennsylvania, woman is in custody after authorities say she became so irate that her 6-year-old couldn’t count to 12 that she ripped a chunk of hair from her scalp. WPXI reports: A beaver county mother is facing charges after authorities said she abused her daughter by violently pulling her hair. According to the complaint, officers were first alerted to the case on Aug. 31 when hospital officials reported they were treating a 6-year-old for an injury to her head. The complaint said the injury was described as a separation of the victim’s scalp from her skull, also known as traction. This caused a void between the skull and scalp that filled with blood. “The doctors told us there was a separation of the victim from her skull,” Conway police Officer Mike Priolo said. Doctors who treated the girl told police her injuries were most consistent with violent hair pulling, as well as an impact to her left ear. Once officers interviewed the girl’s mother, identified as Brittany Ruck, the complaint states she admitted to pulling her daughter’s hair to get her attention. The complaint said the child told police that her mother wanted her to count to 12, but she couldn’t. “The little girl told us she could only count to 10 because she had 10 fingers, but she couldn’t count any higher. That’s when the mother grabbed her by her hair,” Priolo said. According to the complaint, the girl told police that on a separate occasion, her mother pulled her across the floor into a corner by a hair. “It’s just sad because she didn’t do anything wrong and she had to bear the brunt of pain,” Priolo said. Channel 11 News had learned Ruck has three children, and they’ve been placed with other family members. SMH…@ the mom previously pulling the daughter across the floor by her hair, she clearly has a history of abuse. What do YOU think about this story BOSSIP fam????
Aren’t Masika and Hazel supposed to be friends?? Masika Kalysha Denies Dating Yung Berg Love & Hip Hop Hollywood is off and running with enough love triangles to make your head spin ! One of the stars, Masika Kalysha was involved in major relationship drama this season and she’s spilling all the details on her love life in a new interview… Via S2S Magazine reports: Instead of being upset with her romantic rival, “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star Masika Kalysha tried to get her cast mate Nikki Mudarris to consider that Mally Mal had lied to both women. When that didn’t work, she concluded that Nikki and Mally belong together. “I just don’t understand why women come for the other woman, when obviously it’s the man that’s sitting there and lying,” Masika told Power 106 radio in L.A. When “LHHH” fans were introduced to Masika, she seemed to be in a healthy relationship with Mally, but it turns out, he was on a break from an on-again, off-again relationship with Nikki. “I had never heard of this girl, didn’t know who she was from Monday to Sunday,” Masika said about Nikki. When the two first met, things didn’t go well and Masika ended up throwing a drink on Nikki. Instead of meeting one on one or surrounded by women who had nothing to do with the love triangle, Masika said she hoped she and Nikki could have an honest conversation with Mally. However, when confronted, Masika said Mally lied about the nature of their relationship, telling Nikki that it was Masika who pursued him. “I met this clown, Mally, around Christmas time…I just wasn’t interested. I ran into him again at the W,” explained Masika, who said Mally pursued her. “My premise of even talking to him at the time was musically.” While Masika insists she had no knowledge of Mally and Nikki’s relationship, Nikki seemingly just wanted to make sure she was deemed the main chick. That’s exactly what Mally did and Masika promptly exited the relationship with her head held high. “Clearly, she’s stupid and she can’t hear,” said Masika about Nikki. “There’s silicon in her ears.” Now that things are over between Masika and Mally, there have been rumors that she’s dating co-star Yung Berg now, and she recently addressed the gossip: Do you think Masika has moved onto Yung Berg for just fanning the flames for the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ cameras? Hit the flip for more of Berg and his new alleged boo next…
