Daily Mail: Benjamin Moore sued for racial discrimination after paint company 'named brown hues after black employee' (Let's see, a high-end national paint company with umpteen awards that employs thousands of people and was formed in New York and is now based in New Jersey is secretly run by cabal of unreconstructed Southerners who have nothing better to do than torment poor Clinton Tucker with racist paint shades?)

Benjamin Moore sued for racial discrimination after paint company 'named brown hues after black employee'




Clinton Tucker worked for the company's website in New Jersey starting in 2011

He says he was fired for repeatedly complaining about their paint colors Clinton Brown and Tucker Chocolate

A black New Jersey man is suing his former employer Benjamin Moore for discrimination after he says the paint company named two brown paint tones after him.

Clinton Tucker's suit claims he was given the boot in March after he repeatedly complained about the colors Tucker Chocolate and Clinton Brown.

Tucker alleges one of the colors was a part of the company's Williamsburg Collection, a project he helped market. . . .

The suit notes that Benjamin Moore also has a paint color called Confederate Red 'offensively described by Benjamin [Moore] as a "timeless and enduring classic."' . . .
