W.E.I. How Matt Floca went from being ‘in charge of HVAC and toilets’ to leading the Kennedy Center

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

Prove that…. Still waiting…




A white person getting hired doesn’t mean it was because of race, favors happen all the time. Maybe trump just liked this guy.

Why does it have to be about his race?

You're exactly right.

A white person getting hired doesn't mean it was because of race.

A white person getting hired means that the white guy who hired him favors and likes whites over nonwhites.

Like you said, favors happen all the time.

 

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

Did you ever consider that they are more qualified?

No...of course you don't.

Because you're STUPID!

Are you saying that as a rule and without exception whites are more qualified than nonwhites?

 

[westwall]

Are you saying that as a rule and without exception whites are more qualified than nonwhites?

No, I am saying there are far more white people in this country so it stands to reason there are far more of them who are qualified for any particular job.

It's simple numbers.

 

[ThisIsMe]

White men have been the main people hired, promoted, admitted, and even elected because of their color and sex.

Prove that. Show me where anyone has said “I’m hiring people because they are white”. I’m sure it DOES happen on some places, but maybe it’s because white people make up a majority of the population?


Do you think 100% of black people should be in high paying careers?

You right-wing MAGAT white men

You know I’m not maga and you also have yet to prove my skin color. The more you assume, the more you look bigoted.

know this, and white men created the disingenuous argument you an the other racists are making 60 years ago, starting with the passage of the Civil Rights Act
Almost immediately after the act was passed, whites began to claim that unqualified blacks were getting things only because of their skin color an how unfair that
The first white backlash to Civil Rights was Reagan, but Reagan couldn't get the job done. White people have repeated that lie about unqualified blacks for the last 60 years. It is an example of the Goebbels big lie. You guys have repeated that lie so many times that you actually believe it's true. Whites like you have always ignored the 2.5 centuries of race-based preferences that whites have received. It is time the lying stopped, it's time the psychosis ended. Your comments are another example of why some blacks call whites devils.

So read the next paragraph and understand that your opinion is nothing more than a disingenuous bullshit white racist lie:

WHITE MEN ARE THE NUMBER ONE DEMOGRAPHIC GETTING HIRED BASED ON THEIR SKIN COLOR. WHITE MEN ARE 36 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION; THEY SHOULD NOT BE 70-80 PERCENT OF THE EMPLOYEES, OWNERS, CEOS, MANAGERS, OR ANYTHING ELSE ANYWHERE. BUT THEY ARE, AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF MF-ING MERIT.

White people are almost 60% of the population, not 36%,

 

[ThisIsMe]

You're exactly right.

A white person getting hired doesn't mean it was because of race.

A white person getting hired means that the white guy who hired him favors and likes whites over nonwhites.

Ok, prove that then.


You two keep saying this yet offer only assumption. You have no idea the reason had anything to do with their skin color.

Like you said, favors happen all the time.

They do, but that doesn’t mean they did the favor because of their whiteness. Could have been a family friend, maybe he likes his fishing stories, who knows.

As I said, whites don't say they are hiring someone because they are white, they just hire whites only, and because they don't say it, people like you try pretending that whites are not hiring whites only because of their race.

The reason why Biden said he wa appointing a black woman to the Supreme Court was that no black woman had ever been appointed. There have been many qualified black people over the years who have been passed over for white men. WHITE MEN are 36 percent of the population. WHITE MEN are 70-80 percent of the employees in nearly everything. White people, including women and children, are 60 percent of the population an 76 percent of the people in the workforce. White people are overrepresented relative to their population, and it is not because white people are always the best qualified. So you can just stop trying your dumb --- argument whereby you try using plausible deniability, because nobody white is saying out loud that they are hiring whites.

I have to agree with you on one thing...these days, if I were still running my company, I would probably not give an American black a job. You whine too much, you cause trouble in the company etc.

I would have no problem hiring a black from Africa. Especially Kenya, or Botswana. Well educated, good workers, wonderful people through and through.

But people like you? No way.

You're useless.

 

[jknowgood]

Everything. But this is how whites like you do things. You ignore unqualified whites getting hired and then try telling people race has nothing to do with it.

The white elites you support, think you're too stupid to get an ID. You have actually proven them right.

 

[struth]

White, entitled and incompetent is the norm in this administration, starting at the very top.

How Matt Floca went from being ‘in charge of HVAC and toilets’ to leading the Kennedy Center​

The new director of the Kennedy Center is a young, well-liked facilities manager who most recently was “in charge of HVAC and toilets” — as one former colleague put it — at the renowned performing arts institution.

Moments after the Kennedy Center board voted to rename the institution the “Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” Matt Floca was outside in the December cold directing the crew installing the letters of Trump’s name on the building’s facade.

Three months later, Floca has been unexpectedly thrust into a pivotal role at the nation’s preeminent arts institution as it prepares to undergo a renovation that will see it close for two years. He is well-liked by Trump, with whom he has bonded over a shared passion for building and construction, according to people familiar with the dynamic.

You mean he’s been the facilities manager of the Kennedy center? Now he got promoted?

Ok.

The white elites you support, think you're too stupid to get an ID. You have actually proven them right.

Nobody white thinks I am too stupid to get an ID except you MAGAT racists. I have every ID needed to vote. You MAGATS are demanding original birth certificates, and so you think, elderly whites, rural whites, white married women, white college students, and white military members serving overseas are too stupid to get IDS. You leave all these people out when you repeat that ignorant, tifling racist bullshit, white --.

Now, where is OKTexas so he can delete this off-topic garbage this ****** posted?

I could get a birth certificate within a week. Sorry you're too stupid to do that.

Ahhhh, DiAngelo-ism. They hired them because they were white but they didn’t know they were hiring them because they are white. Got it…. Has it ever occurred to you, she could be wrong?

The reason why Biden said he wa appointing a black woman to the Supreme Court was that no black woman had ever been appointed. There have been many qualified black people over the years who have been passed over for white men.

Biden hired Mrs Jackson for political points, that’s all. I’m not suggesting she’s not qualified but make no mistake, Biden hired her to score political points.

WHITE MEN are 36 percent of the population.

Fine, and black men are about 6% of the population. The averages are still the same

WHITE MEN are 70-80 percent of the employees in nearly everything. White people, including women and children, are 60 percent of the population an 76 percent of the people in the workforce. White people are overrepresented relative to their population, and it is not because white people are always the best qualified. So you can just stop trying your dumb --- argument whereby you try using plausible deniability, because nobody white is saying out loud that they are hiring whites.

Then how do you KNOW it’s because they are white? White people are the largest demographic in America.

Look, rather than argue endlessly about this. Tell us what you want? Do you want companies to replace white people with black people? Do you think black people should all have jobs paying $300,000+ per year? What is your solution?

You are wrong about everything you responded to. Plus you cannot read.

White men hire white men because of their race and just don't say it. Not that they hire whites, not knowing they are hiring whites.

Kitanje Jackson was more qualified than Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, and, I believe, had more time as a judge than Roberts had when he was nominated. Also, at the time of her nomination, she was more qualified than Thomas was when he was nominated by the first Bush. Politics had nothing to do with the appointment.

Sandra Day O'Connor was nominated because she was a woman. We didn't see you racists hollering about her qualifications or that she wa just a political pick. This is how white racism works. Then, when called on it, you want to deny it, or claim that it's not so just because whites didn't say anything about race when they did it.

When whites implemented the poll tax, they did not mention race, but they made blacks take those tests while white did not have to. White people like you would say the poll tax had nothing to do with race, even though it did. That's what you are trying to do here, but you see, we know the playbook.

Then you try denying that you are a MAGAT, even though you defend and excuse Trump. I am tired of you right-wingers and your prove-it game. When you guys are asked to prove things, you never do. So what you need to do is put down the alt-right trolling tactics, because nobody's going to play your game of prove it, then when you are shown proof, deny it, then ask for more poof. You have proven what you are by the opinions you have presented. Not once have you challenged the other racists but you constantly try to argue with me, a 65-year-old black man who has seen white racism his entire life, about how the things I see based on my years of experiencing it just cannot be so, according to a white person who is part of the group that practices that very behavior.

For 407 years, whites who practice racism have denied they were racists. That 1619 until this very second. You can stop thinking that just because you are white and say it's not racist, that it makes what you say the authoritative conclusion, white man.

 

[ThisIsMe]

You are wrong about everything you responded to. Plus you cannot read.

White men hire white men because of their race and just don't say it. Not that they hire whites, not knowing they are hiring whites.

And im saying, prove that. Just because you say it doesn’t make it so. You are assuming it’s because they are white, and not a myriad of other reasons.

Kitanje Jackson was more qualified than Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett, and, I believe, had more time as a judge than Roberts had when he was nominated. Also, at the time of her nomination, she was more qualified than Thomas was when he was nominated by the first Bush. Politics had nothing to do with the appointment.

I’m sure she’s plenty qualified, but she was appointed because of skin color. When Biden says the next Supreme Court justice will be a black woman, he is telling everyone he is focused on skin color. It was a political move. Blame Biden for giving America that impression.

Sandra Day O'Connor was nominated because she was a woman.

I was a child when she was nominated, so that was not something I was even aware of.

We didn't see you racists hollering about her qualifications or that she wa just a political pick

Show me anything I’ve ever said that is racist, I dare you. You can’t do it because you know it doesn’t exist.

. This is how white racism works. Then, when called on it, you want to deny it,

Yes, because 1) you’ve not shown me to be white, and 2) you’ve never shown any thing I’ve ever said that is racist.

Still waiting for evidence of both.

or claim that it's not so just because whites didn't say anything about race when they did it.

When whites implemented the poll tax, they did not mention race, but they made blacks take those tests while white did not have to. White people like you would say the poll tax had nothing to do with race, even though it did.

That was in the 60s……this is 2026.

That's what you are trying to do here, but you see, we know the playbook.

What am I trying to do? Have I ever even mentioned poll taxes?

Then you try denying that you are a MAGAT, even though you defend and excuse Trump.

That’s because I am not maga, read my posts, I’ve explained this. I don’t even like trump, I’ve criticized him plenty, my stances here are not FOR trump but AGAINST the left.

I am tired of you right-wingers and your prove-it game

That’s because you accuse them of racism, what, you think if you do that, they should just accept it because you said so?

. When you guys are asked to prove things, you never do.

What have I not proven? What have I said that you feel I haven’t posted an article to reinforce what it is I’m saying?

So what you need to do is put down the alt-right trolling tactics,

I don’t have alt right tactics, you may THINK I do, because you are prone to think that way, but I don’t .

because nobody's going to play your game of prove it, then when you are shown proof, deny it, then ask for more poof.

You have yet to show ANY proof. Your “proof” is “I said so so it’s true”. It doesn’t work that way.

You have proven what you are by the opinions you have presented.

Which are? What opinions have I presented that you think makes me racist? I’m really curious, because you think anything that disagrees with you is racist, because DiAngelo believes that people who deny racism….are racist. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.

Not once have you challenged the other racists

It’s not my job to police peoples opinions. They are free to be whoever they want to be, it’s not my place to be the forum monitor.

Yeah yeah, I know…DiAngelo tells you that if someone doesn’t take a side, that makes them a racist……

but you constantly try to argue with me, a 65-year-old black man who has seen white racism his entire life, about how the things I see based on my years of experiencing it just cannot be so, according to a white person who is part of the group that practices that very behavior.

I don’t argue with you about what you’ve seen over your life, I argue with you because you use words as a weapon, because you accuse everyone of things and then offer no proof, you just expect everyone to accept it because you say so.

For 407 years, whites who practice racism have denied they were racists.

Yeah, but not all white people are racist, that’s the thing. Sure, people who are racist will try to hide their racism, I’m sure that happens, but probably 90% of the people you accuse of racism are probably not racist at all.

That 1619 until this very second. You can stop thinking that just because you are white and say it's not racist, that it makes what you say the authoritative conclusion, white man.

I have no idea what a white person thinks, I can only tell you what I think and yes, I am the authority on what I think, not you.

 

[IM2]

I'm not going to continue arguing with white racists who want to deny any racism from whites today and the try making opposition to that racism into racism.

Trump hired an unqualified white man into a leadership position only because he is white. Period. Full stop. No matter how much white racists don't like seeing these words, that is exactly what happened.
