Back before I could afford the much lighter commercial winter hunting gear I made do with .mil surplus.

Muklucks and Micky Mouse Boots....West German Jack Boots for fall hunting and relic hunting.

I still have a pair of .mil Mucklucks and WG Jack Boots.

Let ANYONE excel who is outstanding and hard working simply because they merit it as among the best

Isn't that what made America great to begin with?

all your doing is advocating a meritocracy Anton

I certainly do, but simple reality is that we don't have it. People often operate on biases.

If your name sounds black you have a lower chance of getting a job everything else being equal.

This was proven in studies many times over.

This EO was signed yesterday and was just now published on Whitehouse.gov.

Administration to use CIVIL RIGHTS laws to GO AFTER private companies and organizations who continue using Affirmative Action.

On 21 January, President Trump has signed an executive order rescinding Lyndon Johnson's EO 11246, which established affirmative action, and banning all federal contractors and publicly-funded universities from practicing race-based discrimination. They will also be investigating publicly traded corporations, foundations, and universities for compliance.

From the EO:

Illegal DEI and DEIA policies not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws, they also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system. Hardworking Americans who deserve a shot at the American Dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned, or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex.

"Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to protect the civil rights of all Americans and to promote individual initiative, excellence, and hard work. I therefore order all executive departments and agencies (agencies) to terminate all discriminatory and illegal preferences, mandates, policies, programs, activities, guidance, regulations, enforcement actions, consent orders, and requirements. I further order all agencies to enforce our longstanding civil-rights laws and to combat illegal private-sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities."

(b) The Federal contracting process shall be streamlined to enhance speed and efficiency, reduce costs, and require Federal contractors and subcontractors to comply with our civil-rights laws. Accordingly:

(i) Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965 (Equal Employment Opportunity), is hereby revoked. For 90 days from the date of this order, Federal contractors may continue to comply with the regulatory scheme in effect on January 20, 2025.

(ii) The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within the Department of Labor shall immediately cease:

(A) Promoting “diversity”;
(B) Holding Federal contractors and subcontractors responsible for taking “affirmative action”; and
(C) Allowing or encouraging Federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in workforce balancing based on race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin.

Good…Merit based it is, and it's been a long time in coming!

So no more “minority-owned” or “women-owned” set aside federal contracts?

I hope so, those cost taxpayers more than open competition AND often result in subpar performance in addition to paying more.

That and it will eliminate shady contractors hiding under their wife's name no matter their skin color. There's a bunch of them in my AO.

Another unconstitutional and racist EO. The government cannot stop companies from practicing affirmative action within their PRIVATE COMPANIES.

You are nothing but a lying weasel. As usual you are spouting right wing lies.

 

[busybee01]

No. They will hire the best person for the job...not because you're a gay black jewish woman in a wheel chair.

There is no evidence that they are not hiring the best people for the job. Trump robots like you have no clue what you are talking about.

true, and as that has been the case since the dawn of mankind i would not expect any government , denomination , organization or group to change that

Executive Order 11246, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on September 24, 1965, established non-discriminatory hiring practices for U.S. government contractors, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It also requires these contractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunities.

This is laughable since it contradicts itself in the same paragraph

No discrimination based on race UNLESS its for the purpose of enacting affirmative action racial descriminstion

What a joke

Dad had some USAF Bunny boots that were pretty cool. They were white, and you pumped them up to about 4 psi.

Shitting in the woods has been since the dawn of mankind, it's not an argument for anything.

I know that when by grandparents came over to Ellis Island, the first thing they wanted to know was where you were going, and how you intended to support yourself.

“Donald Trump has a long history of racism, from excusing the actions of Nazis to promoting the racist birther conspiracy theory. Trump also surrounds himself with racist advisers like Stephen Miller, who is currently formulating the administration’s harsh immigration policy.

Trump continued this approach in the first few days of his second presidency by issuing a series of executive orders meant to undo past actions by the U.S. government to address the harmful effects of racism.

Trump and his fellow Republicans have for years attacked programs meant to counter racism and encourage diversity, attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. They have falsely claimed that these programs prioritize mediocrity over qualified individuals and decision making. But in reality, the anti-DEI crusade has been a smokescreen for rolling back civil rights.”

Is this what Trump voters were voting for – a hateful, racist agenda intent on setting back Civil Rights more than half a century; if so, Trump voters are as wrong and reprehensible as Trump and his racist allies.

GOOD!

End of story.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The very idea of filtering people by race for college admissions to assure a minority group is "well represented" is actually racist itself.

Affirmative Action is the most RACIST law ever to be foisted on the US. The only people who still support it are racist bigots like yourself.

Do not despair. This might just be the push needed to move civil rights protections beyond the reach of the kind of meddling we see today. After all, it was the Dred Scott decision—one of the most hateful rulings in our history—that ultimately led to the ratification of the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing citizenship and equal protection under the law.

And as history shows, hatefulness and resistance often spark progress. Civil rights advancements have often been unintended consequences of those seeking to undermine them. This moment, God willing, could be no different

Possibly. Im2stupid has so many.

 

[BackAgain]

Adam_Clayton_Joke is exactly that. A racist shit talker and a joke.

Citing to the Daily Kos is evidence enough. That shit rag isn’t worth its own electrons.

And when we get rid of DEI horsecrap, we further the goal of making America fully colorblind.

**** DEI. Let’s get back to hiring on the merits.

Morons like Adam_Clayton don’t believe that blacks can compete simply on the basis of merit. And t implant the truth. Adam_Clayton likes to call out faux racism, but engages in real racism at all times. Much like IQ2.
