Employee Sues Paint Company After He Deems The Name Of The Paint To Be Racist According to recent reports, Clinton Tucker, a man in New Jersey, is suing Benjamin Moore, his former employer on the grounds that some of the brown paint tones the company has been selling are discriminatory. Tucker claims that he was fired after he continued to complain about Tucker Chocolate and Clinton Brown to the management team. Despite repeated complaints and protestations to BM management about these appallingly racial color names, no action was ever taken by Benjamin Moore to change the names of these colors, the lawsuit reads. According to Tucker, he was one of the people to help bring the Williamsburg Collection to market, and that collection contained one of the colors in question. The colors remain on Benjamin Moores website. Capturing the 1798 color requested by St. George Tucker for his home facing Courthouse Green, this deep brown is classic and understated, the site reads, clearly demonstrating the real origin of the name dates back to Colonial Williamsburg. Being a black man named Clinton Tucker, the plaintiff found this to be racially offensive, the suit reads, despite this fact. In addition, BM has a color called Clinton Brown. A BM employee pointed this out to the plaintiff and thought it was funny. Now, Tucker also claims that he believes he was denied opportunities to advance within the company because of his race, and is seeking damages for discrimination and a hostile work environment. What do you think? Is Tucker taking coincidences and using them in an attempt to get damages from the company?
