One Mercedes-Benz Car dealership is being accused of racism – and the victim is literally hoping to get them to pay. Jeffrey Turner is suing an Indiana Mercedes-Benz location for subjecting him to a “hostile work environment” and firing him after he reported racist behavior, reported the Jacksonville Free Press.
A former sales manager at the dealership, Turner said the dealer’s owner Mike Raisor used the N-word “like, 6 or 7 times.” In a press release, his attorney said, “His race was a regular subject of unwelcome verbal harassment, being referred to as the ‘favorite n—-r … He was also a target for anger over unrelated racial issues.”

Jamarlin talks about the recent backlash against Lebron James for not speaking up for Joshua Wong and the violent Hong Kong protestors.
Turner said he was a top sales manager at the dealership, but was fired despite his quality performance once he reported the harassment. He is seeking compensatory damages
“I worked very long and hard to attain that position. I wasn’t about to quit,” Turner told WTHR. “Their mantra is the best or nothing, but at this particular moment, I don’t think they’re the best.”
