| Publisher Description: Screwed by Former Governor and Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is a true story of a life of proverty, prayer, determination, and racism. After enduring three years of employment discrimination at Albion Correctional Facility Vera Richardson was screwed by Eliot Spitzer and the American judiciary system. Richardson Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VII (employment discrimination) case was dismissed and she was denied a jury trial. The dismissal of Richardson's case was based Eliot Spitzer's perjured summary judgment motion and seven perjured declarations filed with it in a district federal court. Spitzer filed the perjured declaration in order to cover up the blatant hostile work environment, discrimination and retaliation that Richardson and other African-Americans Correctional Officers suffered while working at Albion. Racism not only still exists in America, it is rampant. This fact contradicts our refined politically correct sensibilities. We truly want to believe that everybody has an equal opportunity to become successful. We are willing to concede that some ethnic and racial groups have a harder time than others. And though we shake our heads at the unfairness, we are comforted by the belief that with the right amount of ingenuity, resolve, and luck, the potential of reaching success is equally accessible to all. Many Americans have to believe this but it is not TRUE. Discussing racism in American employment practices should not deem one an unreliable idealistic liberal, a racist, or a race-card playing cry baby. America can no longer afford to silence these discussions. We cannot afford to muffle the truth because racism has gotten worst since this nation elected its first African-American president Barack Hussein Obama. Even the most powerful man in the world has been subjected to what can only be described as racism. The October 1, 2013 government shutdown by the Republicans in the House of Representatives after passing Resolution 328 on September 30, 2013, is an example of racism at the least and/or a conspiracy to destroy and/or impeach President Obama. Resolution 328 took away the previous ability for any member to bring a clean resolution to the floor under House Rule 22. Resolution 328 is proof that after the Republicans shutdown the government their plans included keeping it shut down while labeling the shutdown Obama and Reid's verbally and on twitter. During the GOP government shutdown Speaker Boehner repeatedly requested a "conversation." Richardson agree with Boehner that this country needs a conversation but not the conversation he wanted to start. The Republicans' actions towards President Obama present this nation with the perfect opportunity to have an overdue conversation on race, race relations, and racism. This book and the direct evidence in it allow Americans and readers around the world the opportunity to not only have a conversation on race but it also allows them to decide and render a verdict on an employment discrimination case. Additionally the book will allow readers to decide based on the evidence and previous Supreme Court's rulings if the Court should have reviewed and remanded Richardson's case back to the district court Lastly, this book presents a case that President Obama can use to support using an Executive Order like he did for Ledbetter and women to amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Amending the Civil Rights Act again would prevent one judge from having the absolute power to grant summary judgment motions that dismiss Title VII cases. More importantly amending the Act again will make both the 13th and 14th amendments and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended a reality for protection and redress for all victimized Americans. |
