  • continuing violation theory did not save untimely claims when letters and complaints showed that plaintiff had earlier complained about discrimination
  • “[A] plaintiff must do more th[a]n simply challenge the truthfulness of the defendant’s explanation. Rather, he must offer some evidence that discrimination was the defendant’s actual motivation.”
  • “The burden of proof on a plaintiff in an employment discrimination case is the same for claims under Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983.”
