YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOfficer Cleon Brown is suing his department for racial discrimination. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why he actually has a case. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Michigan police officer Cleon Brown is suing his chief and the city after a chain of events that began when he took a genetic test through Ancestry.com in December and was surprised to learn he could trace 18 percent of his DNA to regions in Africa.
Brown was also surprised by how his fellow officers in the Hastings Police Department reacted to the news.
He said the police chief called him “Kunte,” after the character in Alex Haley’s novel “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” while other officers whispered “Black lives matter” when they walked past, according to MLive.com.
Even the mayor, who has since retired, made cracks, according to Brown’s attorney, Karie Boylan, who has filed a lawsuit on Brown’s behalf.”
