PHILADELPHIA - Three
black police officers who said
they were assigned to desk jobs
for growing beards have filed a
lawsuit, claiming the dispute
was symptomatic of pervasive
racism in their station house.
I he men said they are
among 10 black officers in the
same division who filed com-
plaints with the U.S. Equal Em-
ployment Opportunities
Commission, the federal agency
that investigates discrimination
claims.

Earl Otari Hutchinson of
the National Alliance for Posi-
tive Action said eBay has not
responded to fax and e-mail
complaints from his group
about listings that include a
racial slur.
"When African-Americans
look at this and say it's offen-
sive, why is there no re-
sponse?" said Hutchinson,
president of the Inglewood,
Calif.-based racial and social
justice public advocacy group.
"It just shows there's contempt
for the wishes and desires of
African-Americans."
eBay spokesman Kevin
Pursglove said he's unaware of
the alliance's efforts to reach
the company. eBay removes
listings using words in ways
that are "abusive or offensive
or degrading or in any way dis-
paraging," Pursglove said.
