That’s funny because everyone thriving in metro Detroit. All the CEOs, VPs, hiring managers, bosses, owners, etc... are all white.
Not just in Detroit....all over America as well.
The "poor, maligned" white MALE population represents 31% of the total population in America yet holds nearly 80% of executive positions in the workforce, and the vast majority of positions of power in politics.
You lefties like to whine about that, and institute policies to push back on that.
It doesn't actually do shit against those in power of course.
It falls on the white middle class and white poor.
And when we point out that that is bullshit, you dismiss our real issues, because we are white.
And you wonder why we are pissed off.
You are starting to get it. The rich fuck with you too. Just because they are white doesn't mean they'll ever make you a CEO. That job is slated for their kids.
No one thinks that because the CEO's are white, that they will do shit for us. That is a delusion of the Left.
It's just a coincidence those rich people are all mostly white.
It is irrelevant that those people are white. They made their decisions with no regard for that. They don't care. I don't care. YOu liberals are the only ones that care about the race of the CEOs.
And they use race to divide you and the blacks.
It is not the CEO's that divide whites and blacks. It is liberals, rich and poor, that keep telling the blacks that the Evul REpublicans are out to get them.
They convince you it's blacks who are ruining white America when rich white men are 95% of the executive board room.
They are not convincing me of anything. YOu have this fantasy about what you think that I think, that you made up out of nothing.
That should tell you something. The system is rigged and the rich people (who just happen to be white) are keeping the system rigged and you seem to defend them because you feel that you benefit from this favoritism and you don't want things to change so that blacks and women get a fair chance to reach such levels.
I have no problem with blacks and women having upward mobility. That is you not having a clue about me or mine.
If you ever see me say something that makes you think that, you need to ask me to clarify it for you, because you totally and completely misunderstood me.
I guess AA doesn't benefit a white guy like you but it is a step in the right direction for the rest of America, which is really really diverse.
Odd that. NOt benefiting is not a big deal. If something does "not benefit me" I don't care about it.
Why are you justifying something that is just "not a benefit" to me?
It sounds like you are trying to implicitly admit that AA is at my expense.
But that contradicts the standard liberal position that discrimination for blacks is not discrimination against whites.
Which is obviously absurd of course.
Kudos for you if you are admitting that though.
And no. I am done paying for the crimes of other people's ancestors. I will not support AA and it's ilk.
I want equal and fair treatment. I cannot afford to be discriminated against, nor do I want that for my child.
No reason why the executive boardrooms are so so white and male dominated unless an unfair bias is at play.
Nice assumption. Of course there are plenty of other possible reasons.
You are probably like women. Women don't seem to give a shit about affirmative action until they realize they are the ones who benefit most from it. If you benefitted from AA then I bet you'd be all for it. But you aren't so you're not.
I generally dont' like to brag about what I would do in hypothetical circumstances.
It is easy to talk shit about what one would do, in the comfort of your living room, on a lap top.
In the same vein, it is equally wrong for you to cast aspersions on me, based on your assumptions what I would do in hypothetical circumstances.
Me and mine are discriminated against by AA, and it's associated programs and practices NOW.
I am not "all for it", because it is morally wrong, and it is wrong at our expense.
I know this is liberal college bullshit to you but this is what white male CEO's are doing because they realize in a country as diverse as ours, there is something wrong when 95% of the CEO's are white.
1. Your Appeal to Authority is noted and dismissed as a Logical Fallacy and thus an invalid argument.
2. Link to defend that number.
3. An unequal outcome is not proof of bias or discrimination, no matter how many times you assert that it is.
You can't explain it. And if you can, the reasons are problems that need to be corrected.
That sort of depends on the reasons.
No it's not because women put their family first
The fact that women, generally speaking, are far more likely to put far more emphasis on their family or personal life than their career, is certainly a large part of it.
and no it's not because blacks aren't smart enough.
Oh, you deny that the Education Gap exists?
These CEO's realize that a diverse country is not going to put up with the white privilege that is going on.
1. Your Appeal to Authority is noted and dismissed.
2. That fact that they might fear the political power of minorities is not an argument that it is right.
White male bias.
Repeating your assumptions, over and over again, is not a supporting argument.
So like half of the fortune 500 ceo's have signed the diversity pledge.
Your Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Authority and Appeal to Popularity is noted and rejected
They better or the diverse consumers won't buy their shit. That's about the only power we have anymore. Put pressure on their bottom line. Then maybe they'll act responsibily and fairly. And when they do it, you white poor men can cry all you want. You had your chance to climb the corporate latter. In fact most of the guys at the top are white men so quit your complaining.
HOW CAN YOU ACT ON THE PLEDGE?
The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ aims to rally the business community to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace by working collectively across organizations and sectors. It outlines a specific set of actions the undersigned companies will take to cultivate a trusting environment where all ideas are welcomed and employees feel comfortable and empowered to discuss diversity and inclusion.
- I will check my own biases and take meaningful action to understand and mitigate them.
- I will initiate meaningful, complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations with my friends and colleagues.
- I will ask myself, “Do my actions and words reflect the value of inclusion?”
- I will move outside my comfort zone to learn about the experiences and perspectives of others.
- I will share my insights related to what I have learned.
All the signatories serve as leaders of their companies and have committed to implementing the following pledge within their workplaces. Where companies have already implemented one or several of the commitments, the undersigned commit to support other companies in doing the same.
The persistent inequities across our country underscore our urgent, national need to address and alleviate racial, ethnic and other tensions and to promote diversity within our communities. As leaders of some of America’s largest corporations, we manage thousands of employees and play a critical role in ensuring that inclusion is core to our workplace culture and that our businesses are representative of the communities we serve. Moreover, we know that diversity is good for the economy; it improves corporate performance, drives growth and enhances employee engagement.
Simply put, organizations with diverse teams perform better.
1. Please support your premise that diverse teams perform better.
2. What is currently causing the tension in our society is the assumption being pushed by you libs, that any unequal outcome, must be caused by discrimination by evul white men. That is what is tearing this nation apart.
