Following an alleged racial incident at a branch of the $38billion State Employees' Credit Union, a former employee told alocal media outlet he was fired for no official reason.

Matt Anderson, who worked as a loan officer at North Carolina'slargest credit union for only a year, said he would appreciate itif people did not think he was a racist. Anderson also claimed heand his fiancé have received “threats of violence,” according toWNCN-TV in Raleigh.

Last week, SECU member Stacy Smith said she wasvery offended when she saw on Anderson's desk a black figurine witha steel shackle around its neck. However, the figurine depicts acharacter from “The Walking Dead,” a television series about apost-apocalypse world overrun by zombies.
