Largest U.S. Newspaper Company Sued for Discriminating Against White People

Isn't it funny how the Democratic Party is so quick to condemn "white supremacists" and call everything "racist"? In contrast, they are the ones who are actually dividing America further with their race-based agenda. 

The largest newspaper company in the country, Gannett, is being sued for allegedly discriminating toward white employees in efforts to diversify its offices. 

Last week, the proposed class action was filed in a Virginia federal court by five current and former Gannett employees who say they were fired or overlooked for promotions to make room for less-qualified women and minorities. 

The company's "Reverse Race Discrimination Policy" has led non-minority employees to miss out on opportunities such as bonuses, awards, and promotions for Gannett to meet their diversity requirements. 

"Gannett executed their reverse race discrimination policy with a callous indifference towards civil rights laws or the welfare of the workers, and prospective workers, whose lives would be upended by it," the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit.

According to the plaintiffs, a 2020 policy announcement led the company to cite goals of having its newsrooms reflect the demographics of the communities they cover by 2025.

In 2020, Gannett promised to "expand the number of journalists focused on issues related to race and identity, social justice and equality," according to USA Today— one of their hundreds of local media outlets across the U.S.

Starbucks, Target, and Progressive Insurance are among the companies that have gone out of their way to discriminate against white people and publicly advertise that they are seeking minority employees to join their team. 

These companies have also faced lawsuits that challenge their diversity programs. 

According to the Daily Signal, Steven Bradley, former sports editor for the New York-based Chronicle and one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, previously sued the company in April in state court for allegedly firing him because he is white. However, it is unclear the status of that case. 

The plaintiffs are seeking Gannett to be required to eliminate the 2020 policy, along with lost pay and benefits and other money damages.
