Ex-Mayor (R) Accused of Racism: 'Whites Should Stay With Whites'

A one-time mayor of Amityville, Long Island, faces a laundry list of allegations, including pressuring employees into consuming drugs, and racism, according to a lawsuit.

Republican Peter Imbert, who served as the town’s mayor for 16 years, is the head of RCI Industries, an insurance firm. His conduct while running the company is the basis for the suit, reported the New York Post.

The New York State Division of Human Rights complaint, filed by maintenance worked Ralph Guarino, accuses Imbert of forcing Guarino to carry out menial tasks, including cleaning up after his boss' guinea pigs, dogs, and tending to his marijuana plants, among other things.

Guarino said Imbert “summoned” him to his home daily to “play pool and get stoned,” watch bikini-clad teens swim in the pool, and ordered him to shoot geese on his property.
