Prom Night in Mississippi

What does that have to do with racial preferences and quotas? If someone is qualified for a job, he shouldn't be discriminated against because of his race, sex, ethnic background, or religion. That doesn't mean we need to penalize better qualified candidates like the New Haven firefighters because they happen to be the wrong race.

It is a fact that people are still passed up for jobs due to race and/or gender. This is why we need quotas.

Yep, perpetuate the divisions in society so long as we have quotas then everything is aaawwwwwright!

In other words, we need to discriminate in order to stop discrimination. Where does religious discrimination figure into your calculus? :confused: Anyway, why do we need quotas if discrimination is against the law? If someone has a case, let him take it to a jury and prove it, or file a complaint with the EEOC. Better yet, if he's really talented, let him walk and apply to a progressive company that values his skill set so he can contribute to the success of a firm that values him for who he is and not because his race or gender looks good on an EEOC compliance report. The only real loser will be the company that didn't hire him/her.

Well the sad fact is these things are needed to protect people from racist jerks. There will always be racism so should always be things in place to protect people from it:(

It is not that simple and you know it. Racist will not admit they passed someone over due to their race and will just come up with some B.S. Excuse Duh. :doh

Yep, once again, let's perpetuate the divisions in society and we'll all be SO much happier! Who needs progress anyways when we can sit and stagnate in a cesspool of political correctness, fairness, and equality?

I didn't say it was simple, but that's why we have courts and regulatory agencies with people paid to investigate allegations like these. If there's discrimination going on, make them do their ****ing jobs and investigate. Honestly, though, why would anyone want to work for a racist? :confused: I'm a white male, and I don't even want to work for one. If the boss is a racist, what else does that say about his values and ability to be fair in any matter?

Do you have any proof this is still happening in 2009?

You said it is a fact.

Where did you get this fact?

What? Doesn't black folk being poor and living in ghettos qualify as facts that racism is alive and well?!?!


:lol:

Anything that has "happened" to black people is their own fault.

They have the same opportunities as anyone else, they just chose not to take advantage of them.

I never hired a black person in my business. I had 3 positions to fill and the ones that did come in to fill out applications couldn't do that correctly.

I needed somebody that had a little bit of intelligence and a little common sense as well.

One answered the question, "Do you speak a second language?" The girl answered Yes, English. I wonder what she thought her first language was.

I did not chose to not hire them because of their race but their lack of skills, and no government was going to tell me to hire an employee that would not be able to do the job correctly.

Shame on you! Not falling in line with the narrative! You know damn well that whitey oppressed blacks, and continues to do so to this day!!! :lol:

Let us add to that the fact that I am Jewish so I am really the cause of all the problems in the black community, at least that is what they say.

I wish it was just as unaccaptable for a white person to act like a black person as it is for a black to act like a white.

NOW I UNDERSTAND your stance. As a Jew, your people have come from being the undisputed all-time go to scapegoat of history to owning half the world. :lolL

I always tell blacks, mexicans, and other who complain about hardships to get talk to a Jew about hardships and see how fast they get a potch on the head.

Yes 5000 years compared to 300, no contest.

I am in Mexico now and I think people have the wrong idea about Mexicans.

The US has all the losers that couldn't make it here.

There are no doctors or lawyers going across the border, just the ones that can't do anything for themselves. I say good riddence, however any of them that ask me about it I reply, why would you want to be a criminal first of all and after everything you still end up with the same amount of money. They leave their families thinking they can send money back with no knowledge of how they are going to do it. I think it is more valuable to be with the family then just send money to them, if he does.

Another thing I have seen here is that there are no poor people in the US. Poor is not having a roof on the house or a floor, except for dirt.

The poor in the US have computers and big screens.

I asked my neice, when she told me she didn't have a computer, if she could go to an internet cafe to talk to me. She said "What is that?" so that says to me that everybody, or most people have their own computers and internet connections. Not poor at all.

Are you kidding me? You deny racism still exist in the work force? I come from the World of Hard Knock Lives. GET REAL! :roll:

What 'racism' do you see in the workplace? Does your boss pay you less because you're a minority? Do you not get jobs because similarly or under-qualified people of a different race than you get the position?

The bottom line is people like YOU perpetuate racism by believing it still exists. Racism is a shriveled old husk of what it once was, and we need to just let go of it because no one can move forward when we have people like you clinging to baggage like that.

What aboput my quote "Anything that has "happened" to black people is their own fault." leads you to beleive I am racist?

It is a fact that black peeps are still overlooked for jobs based on their skin color. It is a fact that some women still make less than males for doing same jobs. If you do not "get" this? You are lost. :roll:

A "University Study" or a grab bag of statistics does not make this a fact. I'd say even in the South racism is dead or dying because lots of black people have jobs and lots of white people don't. Or maybe that's just lazy white people...or generous white people...giving those poor, downtrodden blacks the jobs so they can get by. :lol:


And A woman getting paid less is sexism not racism.
