Unfairly terminated

Pros

I was terminated with any reason to why I was terminated and then I was told that my jackknife will be on my Dac report. It wasn’t a jackknife because I wasn’t stuck. And I was turning around at distribution center. An also I never refuse and drug test . I didn’t get a ticket. I wasn’t drunk driving. Not that would destroy my career . These people or evil and vindictive and races. They 4 white drivers that had more serious accidents then me and their still there. I believe my black skin is an irritation to these people. Get my brother and sister. Your next!

Cons

My black that is against me
