During a performance of her song Coal Miner's Daughter in The Coliseum, Richmond, Virginia, USA, Loretta Lynn turns to a black security guard, Ceasar Gaiters, Jr., asks him to stand in a spotlight, and says, "If you people don't know what coal looks like, here is somebody who knows what coal is all about." Then she adds, "Black is beautiful, ain't it honey." Lynn's comments draw a laugh from the audience. In 1987, Gaiters will bring a diversity action against Lynn, claiming that after the concert, he became the butt of jokes and derision which led him to drinking and caused him to become sexually impotent. He will allege that her conduct constituted the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress under Virginia law.
