Why do some Conservatives want the right to discriminate???

most folks arent saying that.

nice strawman, though.

 

So again. You believe that it should be acceptable to discriminate against the people that you think should be discriminated against based upon NOTHING more than the color of their skin.

Do you understand what hypocrisy is?

 

LOL... Because, yes, it's exactly like that. It says a lot about the folks who populate BLMs these days. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

affirmative action to address centuries of persecution and discrimination, is not a bad thing
its ok to right a wrong.

or do you also reject Holocaust reperations?

 

Putting people into a position to compete with white candidates that may not have been looked at otherwise is not persecution of whites.

 

now you're just lying about my comments.

trying to fix a terrible wrong, is not discrimination.

 

So what happens if a particular person is hire over another? If they are identical in every way (highly unlikely) what happens if the person with light skin is hired over someone with dark skin?

 

It says about as much about BLM as white supremacists and Neo-Nazis favoring the GOP.

 

Of course not. Where did you get the idea I would?

 

do you believe that a white person and a black person can be equally qualified for a job?

 

sounds like you believe you should have the right to reject a qualified black job candidate, simply cause he is black.

correct me if i am wrong.

 

Seems to me, in a world without hiring discrimination, there would be a near even split between the two candidates assuming they are both exactly as qualified. As that’s not the case there needs to be effort to even the playing field.

People with ethnic or foreign sounding names on average have to send out 2.5 times as many applications than those with white sounding names to even get a callback.

 

You assume there was extreme and systemic discrimination. In those case where it can be proven, corrective measures were taken.

Your phrase of 'righting a wrong', means what? Forcing businesses to hire a particular person? There are already laws that address discrimination. If those laws aren't working, will more laws suddenly work?

We could get into the old adage of 'Thought Police', but unless discrimination can be proven, the idea of 'righting a wrong' sounds good on the surface, but holds no substance.

 

Ah... the desperate spread approach.... If I see some at the next fund raiser, Ill be sure to ask them to leave... But, I'm sure I won't. I can just turn on the nightly news and see this behavior from the BLMs folks.

 

Given that I have, personally, hired folks of every race, I vote yes. Now what? Basically undermines your entire premise...

 

I’m sure you won’t see them because they know their views are unpopular enough to stay quiet about it. They let their votes and dog whistles do the talking.

 

Having interviewed more than my share of people, there are more factors then the specifics of education, experience and background that go into selecting a candidate. Attitude is one, personal presentation another.

Does that mean those with unusual names are being discriminated against? It's an assumption, unless proven. And if proven, corrective (and usually monetary) actions are taken.

 

And if your actions represented the actions of all those who higher employees we wouldn’t see higher if disparities based on race, but we do, so yours don’t.

 

LOL.... you guys and your imaginary boogie men.... If you want to know who the real racists are, did by chance you see Nancy and Chucky wearing the Ashanti Royal neckwear with the leaders of the Black Congressional caucus??? LOL... Now that actually is racist.. But who's counting.

 

Yeah but your suggestion is like asking the Zimbabwean's to pay money to the Jews. They weren't responsible, much like most of America.

No one is equally qualified in anything.​

 

LOL.. At some point, you are going to realize just how vapid these comments of yours are, and one hopes be self aware enough to be embarrassed by them.

 

says nobody

 

how about customers?

do you believe you should have the right to reject a customer, just because he is black, or Gay, or Catholic?

 

But you are now harming people who have done no harm.

 

i disagree.
