Texaco’s decision to punish four executives caught on tape belittling African Americans shows that the company is serious about ending discrimination, this according to the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Civil rights leaders halted a nationwide boycott of Texaco after the oil giant pledged to give women and minorities better treatment and settled a $176 million race discrimination suit. Jackson, who helped lead the boycott, said the executives cost the company a lot of money.
