What exactly does “protected class” mean?

In the corporate "tolerance" film I watched (at Ernst & Young) a member of a protected class could not easily be fired - there would have to be a dossier constructed and all sorts of legal hoops to jump through to prevent civil lawsuits or government scrutiny.

The film explicitly stated that a heterosexual, Christian, white male was not protected and could be fired easily and with no legal complications.

That what I understand protected class to mean. I don't know anybody else's definition.

“Protected class” is a legal term. A defined-by-law group that receives special protection or treatment. The key is “defined by law”. Merely being a minority of some sort or other is not the same as being part of a protected class.

Al is concerned about SYG laws getting credibility. ...

Hard to argue against them when your homies are attacking white people...

No I truly don't because these people are really misinformed, or as Rush and others call them, the "low information voters." Actually, two couples are our closest friends and we love them dearly.

One couple are really very secular and might attend Temple once or twice a year but are registered Republicans.

He loathes Obama, she "likes his policies and thinks he's good for America!

The other couple belong to a Conservative Temple (like Joe Lieberman) but both are sold out on liberal political policies, yet live their lives like conservative Christians!

Of course you do!

I didn't emphasize "friends" other than to distinguish their heritage rather than their actual faith.

With all the heart of the once-Grand Wizard condemning lynchings, I’m sure.

Hey Dullton: what would be your reaction if productive citizens (not neutered ‘by the book or he goes free’ LEO’s) started ‘patrolling’ their neighborhoods for your worthless ilk?

Sharpton has sown his wind, and is about the reap his whirlwind. It’s beyond his control, and vague words like “kids attacking ...those from another race” are a pathetic effort to falsely position himself on the right side of events.

Wait until the black-on-white knockout game turns around to white-on-black, and prepare for his true feelings on the matter.

Al Sharpton Condemns 'Knockout' Attacks

OMG!!!

First time in my entire life I have experience Al Sharpie condemn criminal behavior that is virtually exclusive to feral young and not so young blacks, always in packs...

Yes I know they can't be all totally black. There might be one sociopath white perp among the many dozens of senseless attacks.

If Sharpton actually condemned ANYTHING coming out of the feral youth in the African American community, that’s positive progress.

As opposed to negative progress?

Exactly. Al and Jessie are not even known with the new generation.

Go ahead and bloviate and condemn all you want Al. Your peeps don’t have a clue who you are and could care less.

Good Grief.

You would know far better than I.
I meant no offense. Just being a little facetious.

Throwing yourself & your significant other into the mix I'm sure it certainly makes for quite the eclectic mash up.

Most of what is called ‘progress’ today is negative. At least IMO.

MPR said it was too dangerous to talk about because it stereotypes young black men.

I think Sharpton is only talking about it because Greta is. She’s competition.

I am a Jew who has been fired. I have friends who are Jewish who have been fired. Seems we are not that well protected.
