I don't think so. Either party can run whoever they want. KH is at a serious disadvantage. Just because your stuck with a psychopath, don't come crying.

If you think about it Will, I never did. You came to that conclusion all by yourself. See how strong it is?An enlighten person such as your self didn't catch it.


Now DeSon and James want to sell their house. Statistically speaking, which one will be offered more for the same house? Why?

So the boss has two job applications. One submitted by DeShon Williams and the other by James Smith. The two are similar, but not exactly the same. Both are qualified.

Statistically speaking, in 2024, one of these people is much more likely to get an interview. Study after study shows this to be true.

Even if both are interviewed, the boss is far more likely, all things being somewhat equal, to hire the applicant who looks like them, and shares his/her cultural background.

DeShon might be the best at the actual job, but because of racial and cultural differences many employers may not take the time to find out.

In this case, DEI training helps an employer discover their own bias and actually find the best person for the job, may it be James, or DeShon. No quota, just a recognition that bias often plays a disproportional role in the hiring process and teaches strategies to over come it.

Its not racial because we all have bias. A black executive can benefit as well.

It's actually a simple question. Clearly this is an enlightened group who have internalized the teachings of Dr. King. Now that you have achieved this milestone, rising above our collective racist past, how has it effected your behavior towards others?

How does one take the words and turn them into action?

JS - I know who Malcolm was. MLK and X had the same goals but not the same methods. X scared white people way more than MLK, but in the end, we shot them both.

On a final note, two wrongs do not make a right. However, sometimes a past wrong, needs to be righted. Our religion teaches "forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." I think the people we sh*t on will forgive us - ya just gotta suck it up and ask.

We love JB, but democrats aren't in a cult. The policy is more important than the the man.

Locker room talk.
Did you notice at the convention last night, Mellon Head still wont even kiss him. Awkward.

So true. Drilling platforms, well heads and oil tankers have existed since the dawn of time. Thank God for the critters.


I will add that fossil fuels are but one source of energy. Based on our over consumption, we should move away from them when possible. As time goes by, it will happen.

You're fine with it as long as the lens is white. The KKK sh*t wont fly anymore so you get creative. It's cool

Tell us how racism isn't your cup of tea.
Easy to say, but please share with us what you do to improve the lives of non-whites citizens in this country.

Because its only a "brand" in your head.

Yeah because e the months long underwater well head head broke in the gulf releasing millions of barrels into the gulf was really nothing.

Sounds awful. Make the Exxon Valdez look like spilled milk.

Frank...thanks for your service. No clue how you put up with it, but you are right to hang in there.

Terrible days is a perspective I share but likely for different reasons. A leader understands that it's better if we can find ways too coexist peacefully rather than promoting the notion that one group has no right to exist. (---your words)

Be a leader.

But not you HR. You are not on the school board. Maybe you should run?
