    FOURTH CIRCUIT: Employers May Not “Take Adverse Employment Actions … Based on [Employees’] Race or Gender to Implement” “Diversity and Inclusion” Programs.

    Hit The Racist Bastards Right In The Pocket Book

    Upheld 'a damages award of "about $4 million"':

    'After a week-long trial, a North Carolina jury found that Novant Health, Inc. terminated David Duvall because of his race, sex, or both, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition to the finding of liability, the jury awarded Duvall punitive damages.'

    According to the racists at Novant Health, Duvall was the 'wrong' race or sex.

    'Duvall, a white man, began working for Novant Health in 2013, when Executive Vice President and Chief Consumer Officer Jesse Cureton, a black man, hired him as Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications. Based in North Carolina, Duvall reported directly to Cureton and held the same position throughout his employment with Novant Health. Evidence presented at trial demonstrated that Duvall performed exceptionally in his role, receiving strong performance reviews and gaining national recognition for himself and the marketing program he developed for Novant Health.'

    Then, he was abruptly fired. No documented problems or criticisms of his performance, ever.

    'Immediately after firing Duvall, Novant Health elevated two of Duvall's deputies, a white woman and a black woman, to take over his duties. It then later hired another black woman to permanently replace Duvall.'

    Duvall, looking at all this, believed that they fired him simply because he is a White Male and they wanted to replace him to hit 'diversity' targets. So 'Duvall sued his former employer under Title VII and North Carolina state law in federal district court.'

    'Duvall was fired in the middle of a widescale D&I initiative at Novant Health, which sought to "embed diversity and inclusion throughout" the company, and to ensure that its overall workforce, including its leadership, "reflected the communities it served."

    Novant Health got out of the $10M that the jury awarded in punitive damages on top of the $4M because it was not proven to the 4th circuits satisfaction that Novant knew that their actions were illegal.

    Please discuss.

    Good! If I have to get major surgery later in life then I really want the most qualified surgeon, not the one that got in on freebies and diversity (also because of all this DEI crap I will most likely ignorantly assume they are DEI pick and request someone else), If we had a merit based system i would not have these concerns.

    These days involuntary diversity is proving to be more of a weakness than an alleged strength.
