I don't think it is appropriate for any US government agency to promote a Marxist organization.

My suggestion is to put your energy in positive directions. Why waste your time and energy over this?

That's where my question lies. I'm debating whether or not to report it, and that's why I'm asking for insight... to make sure I'm not over reacting. I'm very on edge lately and have quit watching the news as it just makes me more and more angry every day and it's just not good for my psyche. Thanks for your input.

I agree with you, but I wouldn’t be too surprised to find that the person writing the letter has already been reprimanded by his or her boss. To me it's as inappropriate as ending an EEOC litter with “Make America Great Again” or “Hail to the Chief” or whatever. It’s not the right place.

It has NOTHING to do with the quality of each human being.

If the person who wrote the letter is a Federal civilian employee, a reprimand wouldn't be worth the paper it was printed on.

In an email promulgating the resolution as an attachment, the following email is sent out to all staff, civilian and military.

"Subject: EEOC Resolution

Team
The events of recent days reinforce the imperative that we must treat each other with respect, fairly and without biases. Without that, we tear the very fabric that ties us together and the richness gained from the diversity of all people, leveraging the value of different thought, background, culture, lifestyles, and more. For your awareness, I have attached a copy of the resolution from the EEOC issued this this week.

We are stronger together and the CIO team benefits greatly from each team mate.

Black Lives Matter!

XXXXXX XXXXXXX
Assistant Commander XXXX"

I was fine with the content of the email until the last line before the signature. Is this appropriate to add into an email like a slogan promoting the value of the lives of only part of the staff? It was in the resolution that was sent out - and that's fine, it's EEOC's job to make these resolutions. But is is appropriate for a supervisor to put it into his email in this format?

Thank you for your insight.

White Lives Matter, Yellow Lives Matter, Red Lives Matter, Brown Lives Matter, Blue Lives Matter i.e., ALL lives matter. No one has a monopoly on their life mattering more than another's. More blacks are killed by blacks than by police but nobody cares. More whites are killed by police than blacks but nobody cares. This entire BLM movement is little more than an excuse to riot, loot, burn and steal. Recognize it for what it REALLY is.

Real Federal employee here with four decades in the system, not a poster with a political agenda.

The feds practice racism with impunity, yes as hard as it to belive it is truth. When measured against qualifications required and population in the workforce.

Whites are consistently underhired along with Asians while Blacks are over hired.

This racism is acceptable for some reason and actively encouraged. It does vary from one agency to another.

Yes. There is no "white privilege" in the Federal Government employment system for white men. White men are the most discriminated against group of people when it comes to hiring and promoting Federal employees. Although, white women are protected by the ridiculous affirmative action laws.

But you're ok with a dictatorial organization?

It’s sad that it’s just, ONLY Black Lives Matter but it also sad that it’s just a hand full of them that’s controlling everything & certain people are bowing down to them. What a shame!

This is so far from reality and so aptly demonstrates the REAL problem, I'm not even going to try and explain or correct this fake protestation...because it would be a complete waste of time.
