Someone once spoke of a dream that his children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

As we all know too well, there are some racists among us who work very hard to ensure that day never arrives.

In the US, as designed, laws are about individuals. You can not be held accountable for the actions of others unless it can be proved you coerced or otherwise may be partly responsible for their actions. And you do not have rights because of a group you belong to. You have INDIVIDUAL rights.

It means that unless they are throwing out what this country is based on, you cannot decide any single case based on a larger picture. Either there is evidence that a particular applicant was discriminated against, or there isn’t. Anything beyond that is wealth redistribution.

It is that black and white. (no pun intended)

"...Implicit Association Test to test racial stereotypes."

Were there any tests to test for "qualifications" or is that forbidden?

Fascinating Case!

Iowa now might have more Hispanics than African-Americans. The fact that Hispanic immigration, legal and illegal, is costing African-Americans their treasured places on the Affirmative Action scam list and on the Welfare line may dawn on them soon.

NEWSFLASH! Once their beloved Democratic Party started getting more votes from the Latinos than from them, it stands to reason that the Latinos are going to get more of those gubmint goodies. Hello!

This touches upon the most fundamental principles of our Constitution and why the anti-discrimination rulings of the 60's were wrong and all EEOC rulings have been in violation of our Constitution.

A private company/corporation is exactly what it says--PRIVATE. The government, both local and federal, should have absolutely no say in who they hire, what criteria they use for hiring, or who the choose to serve and what criteria they use to make that decision.

That is the essence of freedom and anti-discrimination laws are the essence of state bondage and slavery.

Call me a racist if you wish, the state has absolutely no business telling an employer who they can or must hire or why.

Instead, their lawyers argue that managers subconsciously favored whites across state government, leaving blacks at a disadvantage in decisions over who got interviewed, hired and promoted.

So, now the thought police are going to punish eveyrone for what is allegedly sub-consciously thought, instead of what is consciously done?

Novel approach. In all instances where a Black applicant is not hired, discrimination has occurred.

It’s tough to get a job when you don’t go looking for one. Homey doesn’t want to work. It’s ‘’acting white’’ and Homey don’t play that.

That someone is now considered a Tom.

This is just another imaginary offense fabricated by greedy lawyers trolling for another big series of class action settlements.

Apparently they feel they didn’t steal enough from the economy with their outrageous tobacco lawsuits.

Black America, keep suing over jobs that for which you did not get hired!

(It serves to distract you from the fact that your children are being slaughtered by design in abortion mills.)

I’ve got a question for some of you lawyers out there.

How is that a new “legal theory” can be rejected again and again by the courts. The one court accepts it, and all of a sudden it is a binding precedent?

How come the rejections weren’t taken as “binding precedents”? Is the law a one way ratchet for socialism, race-hatred, and Satan?

Less than 3% of the Iowan population is black, they’re not really underrepresented relative to that in the state workforce.

"Yes, I can clearly see you are a racist.
And don't try to deny it - it won't work."

Wow. It’s like reading science fiction. People have used the term “thought police” for decades as a metaphor. Apparently someone wants to do this for real.

God help us.
