Greg Goldsmith, an African-American elevator maintenance worker in Birmingham, Alabama, filed an EEOC charge against his employer, Bagby Elevator Co. Inc. Goldsmith alleged that his supervisor, Ron Farley, regularly referred to African-Americans in insulting and racist language. Goldsmith testified that Farley told a white employee, "Them niggers are crazy. Some of the dumbest niggers I have ever seen.'' At a store with an African-American employee, Farley told the store clerk, "Look, I bought me a slave.'' When Goldsmith complained, he was told to accept it.
