Xerox Memo to ALL Managers - the start of affirmative action

Xerox Corporation ^ | May 2, 1968 | Joseph C. Wilson and C. Peter McColough

[Ouderkirk]

This was the beginning of the end of Xerox, Kodak and many others.

Remember, the Board of Directors approved it before it was sent.

[Brian Griffin]

If the wrong people are placed on top, many more people will wind up on the bottom.

[Regulator]

Not just the end of Xerox and Kodak, the end of Rochester.

It’s a parody of its former self now with the dumbthug “government” there that ghettoized the entire core of the city.

[ansel12]

AT&T was doing the same thing, I remember the corporate motor homes that would pull up to college campuses and openly not want to talk to whites.

Before people learned to keep their intentions hidden the Texas Employment Office would openly tell you that this or that job was looking for non-whites only.

JFK signed the first Affirmative Action Bill in 1961.

[dfwgator]

The end of America.

In his own words, LBJ said he was going to make sure "the Negroes vote Democrat for the next hundred years".

Was just going to ask .... how’d that work out, for these Rochester companies?

Thx.

[ABStrauss]

What a damned shame!

Rochester was such a dynamic industrial city that had many large manufactories, including General Motors. I spent considerable time there selling my companies manufactured products to those busy comp0anes.

Get rid of Biden-Obama axis as I don’t think our nation will last through the next 10 months. Forget the Constitution. Democrat Nazis have used it for toilet paper, and it can do the test of us little good.

Trump will indeed have much to do to reverse what the criminal Biden and Obama pledged to do: change America from the awful mess that the wokeists have done back to what it was during Reagan and Trump administrations.

The danger is that during the remaining months of the idiot Biden term our enemies may take out a few metropolitan areas.

Vote Trump like your life depends on it!

Well they didn’t hire “The great Negro of the time” as Brandon puts it.

You've got me beat. I'm just a black lesbian.

Here's the tell: this letter was written under some duress. To be fair, I will say as a Southerner that we waited far too long, and waited wrongly, to abolish slavery and racism generally. As a Jew, I am one of a people eliminated for hundreds of years from the guilds of Europe, and repeatedly expelled (six times from Paris!) And robbed.

I believe Jefferson was right when he sought to abolish slavery. I believe that all men are men, and that these United States, North and South, exhibited Jefferson's own cowardice, complicity, and hypocrisy. We as Jews are used to it; we rise fast and hard. Many blacks do, too, even in half a generation.

Let's raise ALL men and women to love math, engineering, invention, and capitalism. Let's let little black kids know that Jews and whites are not the "enemy," and that they, too, can rise to powerful positions at places like Xerox... If they have not yet been destroyed by vote grifters like today's Democrats.

Let's raise ALL men and women to love Republican ideals of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, and eschew the sort of racist hate and duplicity now, just as then, engendered by Democrats.

Well then, GIBSMEDAT, plebian.

Xerox laying off 3,000 more. The downtown Xerox bldg is no longer owned by Xerox and is mostly a ghost town.

Webster, a suburb of Rochester no longer is the thriving Xerox community it once was. Many bedroom communities are now DSS dependent. The big employers in Rochester NY are now Big Pharma, Big Medical, Big Retail of course, Government.

Such a shame, but, not surprising.

Thx.

They cheered it, in 2008.

And here we are today....

Our other choice, designated loser John McCain

[MinorityRepublican]

Recruiting minorities is good. It's important. But DEI is bad. Because we're in a situation where we have somebody like Claudine Gay who is checking all the boxes when she became the President of Havard.

But it's obvious that we have to correct our historical wrongs. But DEI is obviously not the way to do it
