According to the New York Post, the lawsuit against CNN claims that the Atlanta-based company is "rife with racism" and "bigoted remarks."
“It’s hard to manage black people” and “Who would be worth more: black slaves from times past, or new slaves?" are just some of the statements alleged in the complaint, filed by former CNN executive assistant Celeslie Henley and Ernest Colbert Jr., a former manager at the affiliated Turner Broadcasting System.
Henley and Colbert Jr. , represented by attorney Daniel Meachum, also cite wage discrimination, claiming that they were both paid less than white counterparts.
CNN representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
