The Obama Administration sued Dollar General for using background checks on job applications because it’s racist. It’s now unlawful to discriminate against applicants who have committed a crime.
The Obama administration is suing Dollar General and a BMW facility in South Carolina for the alleged unfair use of criminal background checks for job applicants, months after warning companies about how such screenings can discriminate against African Americas.
The suits were filed June 11 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which last year issued new guidelines that cautioned against rejecting minority applicants who have committed a crime and recommended businesses eliminate policies that “exclude people from employment based on a criminal record.”
The suits have re-ignited concerns over such issues as potential federal overreach, the overlap of state and federal law and companies losing their rights to protect customers, workers and assets while trying to adhere to fair hiring practices.

That is one mean looking bitch.
That is one worthless looking subhuman.
“The Obama administration is suing Dollar General and a BMW facility in South Carolina for the alleged unfair use of criminal background checks for job applicants, months after warning companies about how such screenings can discriminate against African Americas.”
In other words, it’s assumed most black applicants have felony convictions so there’s no reason to check.
What a low opinion this “Just Us” department has of the people they claim to be helping.
Instead of government spending so much money and time on educating the people on their “rights” to welfare, food stamps, cheap housing, etc., they should simply point out that criminal behavior, no matter how petty, will follow them for the rest of their lives.
Dollar General has a very small profit margin (yes they really expect to make a profit) so they must trust those who work for them. Who would leave a burglar in charge of the cash register?
The point of this exercise:
Punish companies 1.) that are not unionized, and 2.) in the South.
I copied your whole post because it is so true it needed to be said again. I watch TV news, both Fox and CNN, and read news and study other subjects all day. I am a multitask person.
Every day I read/see exactly what you wrote and every day it's a new restriction or destruction of our rights in every facet of our life. When I wake up, I wonder what right will be trampled on today.
I am the embodiment of every single attribute Hussein hates and I don't use the hate word very often but it fits here.
Plus, I'm older and he “hates” older people as we are merely taking up space. Well, I don't just take up space, I write prepper articles so people can prepare and he “hates” that, too.
There are some Freepers who like me, so I'm sure he “hates” them, too, for supporting what I do.
Golly, gee, Hussein doesn't like me - a pox on Hussein, I don't care.
So the solution is to make gun ownership a requirement of the job and if they can't pass that background check, they don't get hired.
Simple.
Beautiful, Fu#@*&g Beautiful!
And hospitals would no longer be able to do checks. Which is a violation in and of itself. I call BS.
The Republicrats are enabling this monstrous moron and his army of goons!
Just what the hell are these timid terds doing in Washington? What is their responsibility to insure this nation doesn’t tank?
Must not be enough General Dollars in Obama neighbor-hoods, for the obamanites to walk to and steal from.
So it's OK to reject non-minority applicants who have committed a crime?
This is a direct result from the WOD. A very high percentage of young blacks have a criminal record from minor drug offenses...
So instead of changing the way we deal with minor drug offenses, the administration changes the way businesses protect their assets, customers, and profits...
Also I might add lot's and lot's of potential lawsuits from bottom feeding slime...
As a SC resident I see this as a deliberate FU to my state.
I’m watching this trainwreck of a society and I am in awe.
***Good place to bump this thread. I read things every day now that I honestly thought I would never see in my lifetime.
This is deliberate targeting by a racist administration against businesses in South Carolina. The courts ought to laugh at the lunacy.
I’m wondering what happens if I graciously skip the background check in the interest of diversity, and one of my new hires commits the same crime he committed before on a customer or another employee.
The victim then sues me because if I had done a simple background check, I would have seen the person’s prior arrest record.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Time for states to call out their state guards to ride shotgun. Any federal fascist that attempts to interfere in state commerce is arrested and charged with treason.
Pray for America to revolt.
