    About this ebook

    Sourced from official court records, with these true stories, author James Rodney unmask ways Federal Judges legalize overt racial harassment with favorable rulings to blatantly bigoted corporate defenses such as “They only called him nigger a few times,” i.e., Watson et al v. CEVA Logistics, chapter three.

    In Corporate America & The N-Word the author provides a detailed analysis of eight federal cases, beginning with the facts as alleged by plaintiffs; followed with defenses proffered by corporations e.g., Whirlpool, and issues of law decided by the court. His “...narrative voice is very familiar and easy to follow.” (Lisa B. Outskirts Press)

    Two mass workplace shootings are discussed in chapter nine: Lockheed Martin from 2003 and Hartford Distributors Inc., of 2010. Both were preceded with claims of racial harassment, allegedly ignored by the employers. Fourteen co-workers were murdered and ten wounded. “I recall putting my kindle down out of deep sadness and anger... It absolutely touches on something deep and dark...it's a necessary read.”(N. Rodriguez)

    James Rodney concludes his book with chapter ten “A call to Advocacy.” Premised upon “making tolerance of discrimination more costly than eliminating it,” he directly challenges four groups of Americans:

    To the “Youth of America,” launch a “stop pimping me” social media campaign. Target athletes and entertainers “making it rain” off your money but not speaking up on your behalf.

    To “Progressive White Americans,” stop allowing bigots to define your culture and thus degrade Americas’ moral standing around the world. Expose and oppose racist for who they truly are.

    To “Conservative Working Class White Americans,” love your family more than you hate others. Vote against politicians with sly appeals to racial pride who govern against your interest.

    To “Political leaders,” James Rodney offers fifteen concrete changes in employment discrimination law to “make tolerance of discrimination more costly than eliminating it.”

    James Rodney

    “That's what I want you to do” is how James Rodney describes the moment his life's mission became clear one 2:00am morning while riding down alone in the office elevator. A seasoned technology sales executive and the only African American among six salespersons, he was his employers' top producer for multiple years. He once generated 73% of all revenue within his particular branch. Although the company had been in business for two decades prior his hiring four years earlier; its single largest sale was approximately $500,000. During his first year the author closed a $10 million sale; followed by $15 and $6 million in sales, rapidly growing his territory to nearly $40 million. Although the most experienced, James Rodney had the lowest base salary. In one particular year, despite achieving 417% of quota - equating to $15 million in sales - he continued to not receive a raise. While in contrast, even though all the Caucasian salespersons combined had sold less than $8 million cumulatively, they received raises, including those who didn't make quota. Epiphany - “...a situation in which an enlightening realization allows a problem or situation to be understood from a new and deeper perspective” - Wikipedia. The author, who eventually filed an employment discrimination complaint recalls that night leaving his office; “I was in the elevator thinking it's sad that most people facing these circumstances lose in court - if they ever get that far - because they don't know how to document their experiences or timely file a complaint. I said out loud,” “too bad they don't have someone to teach them...” Before those words could settle within the confined ether of the elevator “...I heard myself say, you can do that; you can teach them. You can teach them became “that's what I want you to do,” and “purposefulness consumed me in a way that can only be described as a spiritual epiphany. I knew at that very moment I had been called to become an Employee Rights Advocate! ” In the process of researching employment discrimination lawsuits to support his claims, the author stumbled upon case after case of modern overt racial hostilities so sickening he felt compelled to unmask ways he believed American Corporations and our Federal Judiciary were facilitating racial harassment. Thus the inspiration for Corporate America & The N-Word. The author earned his Bachelors of Liberal Arts from American University in Washington DC where he also studied extensively in the School of Public Affairs' Department of Justice, Law & Society and the School of International Service. In 2006 the author was awarded an Advance Certificate in Employment Law from the Institute of Applied Management and Law. He is also a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
