DS> There is strength in diversity.

GD> There is strength in many things, but choosing someone based on the
GD> color of their skin is racist, not to mention dumb.


`That' was what `affirmative action' was about.


DS> I did not say that people should be chosen on the basis of their color
DS> or race, and on that I can agree with you.


Thats *exactly* what he said; because the bottom line is....if you hire
someone to fill a job who knows it well and is just what you're looking for...
if that person isn't from some special leftist `victim' class...you're gonna
get hollered at;maybe even sued!


If you cave to the `victim' class and hire a person who's color matches the
`victim' class's satisfaction but is dumb as a rock....you're stuck with a
dumb as a rock employee who will cost money in the long run.
What I do not agree with is


DS> not choosing someone based on their color or race -- nor with
DS> denigrating someone based on their color or race.  *THAT* is what is
DS> racist.


Whatever you do, for whatever well-meaning reason no matter how `well-meaning
it is...the left will bitch about it.


GD> Choice and selection should be based on merit. The best Man or Women
GD> for the job, regardless of race,


DS>If you read what I said above, you would see that I am in agreement with
DS>that.  But, along with that -- it is important to make certain that all
DS>people have an equal chance.


Translation: Hire the `right' one or else!


GD> There is no CEN Caucasian Entertainment Network.
GD> but there is a BET Black Entertainment Network.


There is also a `Black Lives Matter'...but no `White Lives Matters'. And if
one came into existence it would be derided as `racist'.


GD> There is no NAACP National Association for the Advancement of
GD> Caucasian People but there is a NAACP National Association for the
GD> Advancement of Colored People.


Good point.


DS>Probably that is because blacks and other people of color have needed
DS>such organizations to speak out for them when the white men who
DS>controled the power would not.


What the left likes to pretend not to remember; and is not reminded of often
enough; the KKK was mostly all *Southern democrats*.


GD> If either CEN or NAACP for white people existed, Van Jones would call

DS>Actually, white people do have their own catering organization, it is
DS>called the NRA.  Then there is also the KKK.


And with that, Shipp abandons all common sense.
