Trump's moves on RACE

[Mac1958]

My biggest disappointment with Barack Obama was the fact that no American President has ever been better-equipped to firmly address America's profound racial issues, and he essentially voted "present" instead of tackling them head on.

Biden? Uh, no.

On the other hand, and this is not easy for me to say, Donald Trump does find himself in a position to address race. Why that is, is a separate issue. But the way he's handling it -- decrees that just summarily wipe away any number of issues centering around race -- is a mistake. Instead, he could be carefully explaining WHY he believes that initiatives like DEI are not in America's best interests, and neither are they in the best interest of those they purport to be "helping". Isn't that the point of all this?

The opportunity is right there, waiting for him. But he's not taking it. Obviously he personally doesn't have the capacity to communicate these things contemporaneously, but that's not necessarily needed. He can do it in a speech that is carefully written for him (as long as he sticks to the words, of course). Get the ideas out into society, get Americans to talk to each other about it. But it has to start with Trump.

Instead, they're just going to cram this stuff down the country's throat, with no explanations, no discussion, no communication. It's a terribly wasted opportunity.

Trump understands that you're never going to solve a problem by screwing one group in favor of another.

Systemic-racism in any form causes more racism. Affirmative-action is a prime example.

Government shouldn't be in the business of propping up one race, and showing favoritism, while screwing everyone else.

Maybe one day you'll understand this.

Vichy Mac, who has spent the last eight years whining about race is now suddenly concerned about race.

Trump won by appealing to racists like you, Mac. He's not going to fail to feed them the red meat.

It’s too late. Don’t try to convince voters now.

Racial and gender preferences are toxic enablers of what we just observed in LA...

Merit standard is "racist" only to those who eat, drink, live, and sleep thinking about their own BIGOTRY.

Silly to blame the fire on DEI but having a woman captain of the fire or police department is most likely not a merit based hire.

The best MAN for the job.

I think even most women agree. They certainly voted that way

Why are they not needed? Why do you think whites don't need to be bent over and made to be inclusive? Do you see the threads the MAGAts start anytime something goes wrong? A wing falls off a Boeing and it's because of DEI. It's that attitude right here why they need to have their head bent. You're trying to fix ignorance or pretend it doesn't exist when the answer is just to force it into submission.

DEI as a mandate is dead. But hiring managers need to realize that most people hire people who look like them.

Hire a black ceo guess what happens?

The newly signed executive orders to end “illegal discrimination” and restore “merit to government service” were so sweeping and aggressive that even conservative activists — ones who had been waging a multipronged attack to end diversity initiatives in the private and public sectors — were shocked by their scope and intensity.
And in a move that scholars underscored as a historic turning point, Trump revoked an executive order signed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 directing federal contractors to take “affirmative action” to end discrimination at their firms, a landmark policy viewed as a major step in the federal government’s effort to foster racial equality. In 1985, the Reagan administration tried to replace the order, but backed off after widespread backlash from business leaders and members of Congress.
“The equal employment principles embodied in EO 11246 have stood the test of time and remained in place through both Democratic and Republican administrations,” the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s three Democratic members wrote in a joint statement. Rescinding it removes “a source of protection against discrimination for the millions of Americans working for companies that receive federal dollars. We should be standing up for working Americans, not weakening their civil rights.”

Ending discrimination as in the practice of not hiring the black person because they are black.

DEI sounds good, but it was really designed to weaken our institutions.

It was tailor-made for a communist takeover.

The goal of the left has always been to screw everything up and create a vacuum of leadership that radicals could take advantage of.

"America's profound race issues".........
That is your's and the rest of the demented LEFT's BULLSHIT NARRATIVE!!!!!!!!
Most Americans do NOT deal with racial strife IN REALITY.
You fucking shit stirring agitprop junkies DO NOT get to declare your bullshit as GOSPEL.
GTFOH!!!!!!!!

Obama had an opportunity to set a good example. Problem is Obama was a fake who was put in office to tear down America from within,

What he did was create racism where it never existed.

He's the one who started all of the hatred for cops in America.

He literally caused the deaths of blacks by making them paranoid.

My brother left being the vp of hr for a Fortune 500 after finding his DEI replacement.

And his replacement is all about diversity. Ignores all the other more important things. It’s diversity, diversity, diversity.

Which leads me to believe HR departments are a waste of a companies money. Labor relations, negotiations, hiring, benefits, etc.

My brother said “that place is going to fall apart without me”

I said, no it isn’t. Because none of those projects you work on have anything to do with making or selling the product. Or delivering it. Or invoicing or collecting. Lol. He gets mad and tells me how he deals with the unions in Mexico, Brazil, etc.

DEI is something you do when all other projects are done.

When a slow decline is happening, we tend to take a certain point of it as an earmark and then question it from there.

Oh stop! I defended DEI because I saw it makes sense. But now I see the negatives and too many women and blacks voted against it.

Elections have consequences

I know what you dumb MAGAts do. I don't need it explained by a moron like yourself. When a company is doing great that's because of the stewardship of the CEO and when it's in decline that's because of the Black or Mexican or Lesbian in the mail room. Makes total MAGAt sense.
