ABSTRACT
On September 16, 2000, the Guardian published a story titled “Black Women Win Payout for Soldier's Racial Abuse.”
Two black women who were subjected to a barrage of racial abuse at an army base have been awarded thousands of pounds in compensation by a judge. Sue Hunter and her sister Angie DeMeyer suffered racial chants of “nigger” and say that had guns pointed at them when they attended a dance at Oakington Barracks, Cambridgeshire, in August of 1995. The women say their ordeal came at the hands of soldiers of the first battalion of the Chesire regiments, based at the barracks, whose commander in chief is the Prince of Wales.
