Man Claims Beyonce & Tina Knowles Discriminated Against Him, Because He's Black
THAT sigh of relief Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, breathed last week may have been premature. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Herman Kahn threw out former business associate Greg Walker's lawsuit seeking $1.5 million from their House of Dereon fashion line, but Walker vows to appeal. "I'll never give up, because I know I'm right," he told Page Six. The judge ruled that Walker's oral agreement - giving him a 10 percent commission for setting up the $15 million deal that created the company - wasn't worth the paper it wasn't printed on. "The judge was star-struck," Walker said. And the Knowleses are subconsciously racist, he added. "I believe if I was white, I would have been paid."

How can you be racist against your own race?

Technically verbal agreements are binding if there is an offer and an accepance. HOWEVER trying to prove it is very difficult.
Although I know that anyone can be racist against any race, even their own, I think it has little to do with that & more to do with the lack of a signed agreement.
And it is completely possible that the judge was star-struck, but really, cmon.....

Hence the quirkiness of the legal system. Technically it is binding, but if you cannot prove it then there is no way to uphold it.
I had this arguement with my Torts professor during a 3 day lecture period...she was ready to hit me with the book
