'Angry Black Woman' Phrase Costs City of Atlanta $45,000 In Discrimination Settlement.

The phrase “Angry Black Woman” has been used time and time again in reference to women of color who are outspoken and opinionated.

Often times, the woman who gets labeled as such isn’t “angry” at all and coincidentally, you’ll never hear used in reference to a woman of any other race besides Black.

That being said… an Atlanta City supervisor who uttered the racially-charged phrase has now cost the City and its taxpayers a ton of dough.

Details below…

According to Atlanta’s Fox5 News,  a Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport supervisor allegedly called a female employee an “angry black woman” and the exchanged was witnessed by several co-workers.

“He routinely called her an angry black woman on the 

job when she challenged him on legitimate issues,” 

said Atlanta City Council member Michael Bond.

The woman filed a workplace discrimination lawsuit after being insulted with the term over and over again and now the City of Atlanta has agreed to settled the suit but cutting a check for $45,000.

The woman’s job evaluations had been called exemplary and the unnamed airport supervisor, who is white by the way, left city employment while the investigation was underway.

The female subordinate who filed the suit is also no longer employed at the airport, however FOX 5′s Morse Diggs reports that she has accepted a job at a different department in the city.

I absolutely HATE the term "Angry Black Woman." That is just another way to disregard legitimate issues we have. An old white boss of mine tried that once. I read him and told him if he EVER said that to me again, he would  be facing a lawsuit. I never heard that term uttered out of his mouth again.

Lol...I don't! and Thank you for paying attention.

My dad is (obvi) a black man - no issues there. I've dated God's rainbow & more than half have been black men ranging from lite brites to super dark. It just so happens that my fiance is the one who fit all my needs and he so happens to be PRican.

My issue is with hoodrat behavior. I'm not interested in responding to anyone who says "hey ma/shawtie/mami/flaca". I don't respond to ppl honking their horns at me. And I don't accept a random dude grabbing my arm as an "intro". I was raised to respect myself and expect a man to treat me with respect as well. As conceited as it sounds, I bring a lot to the relationship table besides a pretty face, so I expect that he do the same as well, and it starts with how he conducts himself.

And with the exception of passing construction sites or when I've been in other countries where the likelihood of running into black men is pretty low, the main race of men that exhibits this behavior has been black guys.

So, I'm not understanding why some of the men are getting butthurt on here. If you don't exhibit this behavior, then this doesn't apply to you and you're not a hoodrat.

Sometimes well most of the time I feel like black women are part of this club like a mean girls clique and I can't get in no matter how many hoops I jump through. Catty, superficial, loud, rude, and extremely jealous. Like they don't applaud other black women for doing well or anyone who may be exceeding their own accomplishments or lack thereof. I attribute this to where I live. I don't experience it as much when I'm away from here.

I have to admit..Sometimes I hate going to lines with black female cashiers. Most of the time I don't get a hello or anything. I got to drag a hello out of them. We don't have to have a conversation but at least greet me. It's so rude.
