BLOOMBERG LP RAP VIDEO INSULTS BLACK EMPLOYEES
by Davey D

This has been a strange week.. thats all I can. Here in NY Mayor Mike Bloomberg's firm Bloomberg LP decided to do a rap video for their employees last week. It was supposedly part of a taping to help the process of management team building. The sessions were held in London... According to the story, several top Bloomberg executives took on the rap personas of MC Matty Matt, MC Bang Bang and MC Uncle Tom. None of the employees in the video were African American..

The rap personas that were depicted in the video along with the names incensed a number of Black employees who felt like this latest scenario was highly insulting and that the managers were trying to make fun of Black culture. When they complained about the video they were dismissed by the human resource department with remarks like; 'It's no big deal-Aren't their white rappers too'
