Ghanaian Man Sues Luis Vuitton after the Manager Told Him That “Black people are slaves”

According to the Mirror UK, the manager of Luxury store Luis Vuitton allegedly called President Barack Obamaa "muppet" and said America would be better off with "Miss Piggy" as its president because "Muslim people…don't eat pork". Koffi told reporters that he was humiliated by the "black slaves" slur while working at the store in Central London. Details of the allegations emerged in paper which according to the Mirror, will be presented to a Central London Employment Tribunal on the 18th of July. Koffi is suing Louis Vuitton for racist discrimination and harassment, claiming the manager's tone was cold and serious as he made the comments during a discussion on the origins of the English language with him and three members of staff in December. "During this discussion, my manager quite randomly stated that 'black people are slaves and eat dirt off the floor'. This comment was grossly offensive and extremely humiliating. His reference to slavery in this day and age with regards to black people is quite frankly revolting." Koffi said. He says he recorded the comments on tape after his manager's "racist conduct". Koffi also claims that the manager "went on a rant about black people and other races and religions. He jumped from subject to subject, making comments about other races and religions. He made comments about Barack Obama. All of his comments were derogatory and a clear illustration of his prejudices towards other races and religions." Koffi said he told the manager he was offended by the comment, and the manager apologized and claimed it was a joke. The manager who had been let go following a disciplinary proceeding, previously questioned his nationality, asking "where are you originally from?" Louis Vuitton has accepted that racist comments were made but defends the claims on the basis that the company had taken all steps to prevent the comment. A spokesperson said the brand has zero-tolerance policy to harassment of any kind. Source:DK

Bunny has always had his doubts about Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it.
