Obama’s EEOC: We’ll Sue You If You Don’t Hire Criminals
Newsmax ^ | Friday, 15 Feb 2013 10:52 AM | Jim Meyers

The Obama administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says it should be a federal crime to refuse to hire ex-convicts — and threatens to sue businesses that don’t employ criminals.

In April, the EEOC unveiled its “Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records,” which declares that “criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact based on race and national origin.”

The impetus for this “guidance” is that black men are nearly seven times more likely than white men to serve time in prison, and therefore refusals to hire convicts disproportionally impact blacks, according to a Wall Street Journal opinion piece by James Bovard, a libertarian author and lecturer whose books include “Freedom in Chains: The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen.” …

There you go messing up an entirely good thread with a fact-based solution.

Dang my butt anyway! Can’t help it....I’m old school.

Maybe black men should quit being criminals. You know, stop robbing stores. Stop selling drugs. Stop robbing homes. Stop murdering children... Really it ain't rocket science...

And IF there is some white guy forcing a black man to rob a liquor store - someone go to the local liberal newspaper with the facts and they'll run it on the front page.

This is only the first EEOC regulation. No doubt the next one will dictate that the convict hires be in high paying white collar or executive positions because hiring them in entry level jobs will be discrimination that disproportionately affects minorities.

They already do that.
YOU and I are the problem - in their minds.
All they continually do now is attempt to convince the rest of ‘us’ that You, I and our ‘ilk’ are the cause of THEIR problems so Robbery etc is OK as it is ‘pay back’ and WE are racist for imprisoning THEM.

When ‘they’ figure out ‘WE’ have been practicing Genocide for all these years abortions have not only been legal but encouraged, no matter what side ‘WE’ were on the AA’s will still blame ‘Whitey’.

Will hospitals and pharmaceutical companies have to hire people with drug convictions?

In a sane world this would produce laughter. In a world dominated by insane PC, this is taken seriously.

How will this effect restoration of a professional license lost for convictions? An RN who stole drugs, an MD who molested patients, etc? Will their licenses be restored?

No, they don't. They imply it's true - they write opinion pieces but NO the MSM doesn't write stories about black people being forced to commit crimes BY white people BECAUSE IT'S NOT HAPPENING. That's why there are no stories - NO FACTS - O names, NO pictures, NO dates etc. It's just NOT happening. Blacks commit crimes all on their own. No one is forcing them to be criminals.

I know someone with a felony drug conviction who just got hired. She’s doing fine now, but it took a lot of learning for her to figure it out, though. Some HR departments see it as a “red flag “ just if someone has been out of work for a year, no other reason. Now, how are they going to handle this?

Black women walk into Abortion clinics - on their own.

Black women don't have white people forcing them to have abortions. Blacks don't have white people walking in the clinic with them or holding a gun to their head to force an abortion. Black women get abortions because they want to - period. White women get abortions without the help of blacks, black force etc.. because they want to... Everyone has to 'get real' here - and take responsibility.

But...

Liberals DO their best to made abortion free... and easy... and guiltless. Conservatives don't.

The same people who back 'gun control' also back easy abortion. Those people are liberals - the same people who elected Obama.

= = = = = = = = = = = = =
When I say “WE” I am being generic...WE as in Whites will be to blame...when the SHTF and I am afraid it will, it will just be another ‘thing’ we did to them.

I realize it is a problem which they have created and backed —and you are using logic - but logic is one of the first ‘victims’.

To add to your ‘the same people’ etc, the same people that don’t want abortions, on the whole, are against wholesale welfare so, as in everthing else, actions have consequences whether they be right or wrong, good or bad.
