Check out this only in New York subway story -- a white rider in the Bronx says he suffered from racial discrimination after two black token clerks wrote Black Power on a dry erase board.
From 1010 Wins:
Anthony Sutherland, 33, who is white, says the workers, who were black, refused to serve him. He says he was standing at the token booth at the Nereid station on the 1 and 2 subway lines for nearly ten minutes.
Sutherland says he approached the booth at 8am Friday morning and noticed "Black Power!" written on a dry-erase board behind the ticket agents.
After he asked them to erase the sign because -he says- it offended him, they mocked and mimicked him and laughed.
Sutherland, however snapped some pictures of the offending sign.
And after telling a supervisor that he had proof, the supervisor promised "action" would be taken.
What else is there to say?
