How much shareholders money is being wasted on these “diversity consultants”? Isn’t this the kind of wasteful spending major corporations need to rein in?
It’s a major industry in the PC gravy train.
Wachovia is a great example of a large corporation that has pissed away corporate fiscal responsibility and spent millions of dollars on diversity consultants and pet, liberal philanthropy. Wells Fargo has no idea what they have gotten themselves into.
>>>The white male is the target of the Left and it is against him every one else needs to be protected. He belongs to the only oppressor group in America. Its a very familiar script and a movie whose playbook never gets old.<<<
The white male now holds the same place that the Jew once held in the cultures of central and eastern Europe. There’s a reason why the left is so eagerly anticipating the day when the white male is tagged as a “minority” in this country.
Hannah Arendt was spot on when she stated that the Jews were tolerated as long as they served a purpose for the cultures of Europe (which was to act as ethnically international financial brokers for the warring little kingdoms on the continent). Once that usefulness was superceded by the creation of state-sponsored international law and diplomacy, it was only a matter of time until the underlying hatred and bigotry of the Europeans for their Jewish neighbors expressed itself as genocide.
White men - specifically, the WASP, immortalized as the Puritan and the Pilgrim - have supplied the cultural work ethic for the United States for hundreds of years. Add to that the Scotch-Irish, who have supplied the United States with a disproportionate number of its warriors, and the immigrants from Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, who supplied the United States with the workforce needed to create the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. We’re in the midst of one wave of emmigration, with industry moving overseas, and immigration, with non-Europeans moving here in record numbers.
Like the Jews of old - who are my ancestors, by the way - the usefulness of those European immigrants to the United States is now drawing to a close. We may not live to see genocide, and I really hope that I am wrong, but examples ranging from World War II to Rwanda to Yugoslavia keep pointing out that people whose identity resides first in their race and ethnicity often go to war against their neighbors. The United States used to have a way of dealing with that problem by teaching kids that American values like liberty, freedom, and individual rights are more important than skin color or where you came from, but those days are gone, too.
By this analysis, we’ll start to see small examples of persecution and oppression right now - as outlined in this article. We already see Obama getting almost 100 percent of the African-American vote, presumably based on skin color. I can tell you personally that many Native Alaskans also voted for Obama because of his skin color. Listen to the Rev. Wright. Or the Nation of Islam. Or La Raza. The next step is the creation of “the ghetto” based on race. This doesn’t have to be formal - just pressure the whites of California to move to Idaho and Montana, for instance, with aggressive rudeness, and then, to make sure, accuse those who move of being racist. Then, the genocide of those who remain when their minority status becomes sufficiently small and their power sufficiently weak.
If this is not a bleak forecast, I don’t know what is. As always, I prayerfully hope I am totally, insanely wrong about this.
...And Wachovia claims they have no choice but to spend millions on diversity programs because they fear a “B” or a “C” grade from NAACP...
...but Wachovia doesn’t mind a “BBB-minus” grade from S&P.
You are spot on with that analysis.
"Fred, I am a mature woman, and I don't have to put up with any of your sarcasm" she told me. That really cleared the air, taught me a valuable life lesson, and we became great friends. No lawsuit necessary.
“It was nine years ago and my gut still hurts when I think about it. I left that workplace a month after being acquitted, chucked my pension, and gave up twenty one years on the job. It had become a “hostile work environment” all right, but for me. Only one co-worker even said goodbye.”
Unbelievably wrong!
This is a lot like a woman who falsely accuses a man of rape but is never punished.
Thankfully, I am now retired, but while I worked as a civilian employee of the Department of the Army, I was forced to endure this same training. It was labeled Consideration of Others. When I pointed out that I was a minister’s child and my parents had taught me early on to do unto others as I would have them do unto me, my immediate supervisor informed me that the training was MANDATORY. In other words, either you attend the training or you will be written up for insubordination. We progressed from that to something known as POSH - actually Prevention of Sexual Harassment - which was not required until William Jefferson Clinton occupied and defiled the Oval Office. I strongly resented being subjected to these lunacies since I have never knowingly mistreated or harassed any person in my entire life, but if you want to keep your job with the government, you attend. It does not matter in the slightest if you find it offensive or insulting!

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
I found out while in the Navy that there are numerous ways to make the boss look bad without leaving any fingerprints. Also works with coworkers, too.
Had one feminazi at a company I worked for who liked to pull the harassment stuff. After one of the more popular male engineers left because of her, her team got tired of the bs and dealt with her. First, they arranged to get her promoted into a position they knew she couldn't handle. Then, the sabotage began - little things, all perfectly innocent to an outside observer - and to Ms. Feminazi, at first - and not traceable back to an individual. Suffice to say, deadlines slipped, and eventually she couldn't talk her way out of being canned.
The interesting thing about all this is that the team's women engineers were especially sneaky and crafty. It's not just men that get tired of this crap.
Do you mean the skin color of Arabs and Sub Saharan Africans?
That's where you find slave owners these days. In fact, that's who the rest of the world bought the slaves from.

Just modified it to be a little more descriptively correct.
I’m offended by this. Who can I complaint to, and will they pay me money?
You know, that one’s actually kind of funny. “White men can’t dance” is a “negative” stereotype I can deal with.
