Alexander Morris sued a Michigan hospital and two staff members who, according to the Four Tops singer, didn’t believe him when he said he was a member of the legendary Motown group and ordered a psychological evaluation.

Morris said that he was racially profiled and/or profiled due to a perceived mental disability after arriving at the emergency room. He was taken off of oxygen and a white security guard told him to “sit his Black ass down” at one point, according to the lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court and reviewed by TheWrap.

In April 2023, Morris was transported to Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital’s ER in an ambulance as he faced difficulty breathing and chest pain, according to the suit.

      Yes a lot of white people do hate black people. I don’t know why, they’re just disgusting racists. This story is absolutely awful and after a 30 year career in nursing I am sad to say these things happen far more often to black patients. It is wrong and it is evil.
