WASHINGTON -- A former field director is accusing the Florida Republican Party of racial discrimination in a federal lawsuit.

Nadia Naffe also named the Republican National Committee and Bush-Cheney '04 in the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in Tampa.

Naffe says she was fired from her job, which she held from August 2003 to April of this year, after she complained about being assigned to work with black organizations, events and issues. Naffe, 25, of Tampa, was the only black field director at the time. She said she was told, "You understand your people."

After refusing the assignments, Naffe said she was called insubordinate and "not a team player." The lawsuit says she contacted the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and was soon after fired.

1. "You understand your people."

I hope she truely understands who she was working for and this is not just about money.

2. No better for her

She should have understood what her place was going to be from jump street. Any black person who joins the Republicans should know they are going to be used as tokens.

3. She should subpeona J.C. Watts to back up her claim. Another token black

kicked to the curb after getting uppity with "the man".

5. Speaking of JC Watts

He said once,

"Black people have as much business voting Republican as chickens do voting for Colonel Sanders."
