Racist Emails In The Secret Service
WASHINGTON (AP) - New evidence filed in a case alleging racial discrimination in the Secret Service suggests plaintiff Reginald Moore has sent offensive e-mails of his own.
The court documents include e-mails containing a joke about a black woman hitting her daughter and a picture of a wedding reception at a White Castle hamburger restaurant.
The Secret Service is declining to talk about the recent filings.
This is the latest twist in an 8-year-old racial discrimination case against the Secret Service. A group of black employees says the agency has passed over black agents for promotion. They say white colleagues and supervisors regularly use a racial epithet to refer to criminal suspects and black leaders of other countries. The lawsuit claims the Secret Service has always had a discriminatory culture - a claim the agency has consistently denied.
Last month an employee found a noose in 1 of the Secret Service's training centers.
