I can also add that in any interviews where I was the candidate the subject was never was included. I do not believe I was unique in the above experiences. |
What difference would that really make in an "at will" state. Once they show up for work they can be terminated for any reason at all, so again, what difference would that actually make? None.

Great Idea.

How to stop racism

How do YOU define racism?
The definition of racism is perhaps the biggest problem. See all the suggestions this thread has generated about "how to end racism"...without anyone defining the term? I believe that most people our age (I'm thinking typical Villager...55+ YOA) has a similar idea about what constitutes racism. (I won't go into my/our hoary out-of-touch thoughts.) However, we are completely out of step with modern thinking about racism...thus, all the responses to this thread's title/question are also out of step.
Recent academic work/theories, university-level classes, and federally-funded training for government employees hold that racism is structural, systemic, and institutional. I won't turn this into a never-to-be-read tome, but, the bottom line is...if you are white, you are racist; you exhibit racism by your very being and existence. Math, science, forgiveness, logic, reasoning (and many other characteristics) are all artifacts of racist thinking, a racist culture and a racist system. Now, try responding to this thread with the above ideas (that are being taught to our grandchildren and current federal employees) as back drop to the thread's title. |
Based on your economic status and the net present value of the benefits that have accrued to you over your lifetime because of slavery, as determined by an actuary, you should assume a liability of the stated amount and then start paying it down, like a mortgage - or have it passed on as part of your estate.

My grandparents came here just over a hundred years ago after being serfs in Russia. So in others words some people think that people who have never been slaves should be given payments from people who were grandchildren of people who were basically slaves themselves. |

Kind of reminds me what professional orchestra member's auditions are like where I live. They're behind a wall so no bias from the employers. All about how the musician plays.

You mean you want to throw out the Affirmative Action Program??? Nice try. |

They used to do that when hiring for orchestras ... i.e. simply listen to a recording or whatever of the music being played by the applicant. That was recently deemed racist by the enlightened and now it requires showing your face, so to speak, so that the hiring decision can then proceed. ... |

I have worked as a consultant in many government agencies and I can tell you it’s a mediocre-cracy. One guy told me he had no idea how he got hired for the job he was in. All day he wandered around looking for someone to show him something. But he showed up for every meeting

Morgan Freeman wants to hear from ordinary people in Black Lives Matter campaign – HITC "Hollywood star Morgan Freeman wants to hear from ordinary people in a social media campaign to support Black Lives Matter. The death of George Floyd on May 25th has sparked the biggest wave of protests we’ve seen in a generation. Not only have demonstrations been seen across the US but the wider world has followed suit to send the message that black lives matter. And while thousands of people on the street is a hugely inspiring sight, you can’t find anyone much better to spread the Black Lives Matter message than God himself. Or least God in the Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty films. That’s right, Morgan Freeman has joined the Black Lives Matter movement and the Hollywood star wants to hear from you as part of his social media campaign." |
