Before I put my 2 weeks notice in...I was employed by an Apartment Management company. I was there during the selling and new ownership of the property. I stayed around and they raised me to Assistant Property Manager and were going to hire a leasing agent for me. Well, the only resume that was received was of a very nice and professional black lady. I was for her being hired...however, they didn't want to hire her due to the fact she was black. They told me that they were worried that it would hurt their potential leasing and bother the current residents if there was a black girl in the office. They did hire her...but then soon after she got fired. Due to this comment and other incidents with this company--is there anything I can do to maybe bring this to someones attention?? Nevertheless, they accused me of being racist after telling them to hire her!!! Which that was humiliating enough---My husband is Spanish and my best friend in the whole world is black. What can I do???

You could get an investigative news team from the local T.V, stations on it, Otherwise since they did hire her , might not be to much you can do.

since you were not harmed, you cannot bring a complaint.
but you can tell the black girl about the comments, and she could file an EEO complaint with the EEOC. And I think it's a good idea for her to do so. it doesn't cost anything and could make a small change in the world (they would know they could not get by with it). They you could witness or testify for her.
