Obama campaign office staff lacks racial diversity, may violate civil rights law
The Daily Caller ^ | May 6, 2012 | Neil Munro

Civil rights lawyers told The Daily Caller that President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign managers may have violated employment law by hiring an overwhelmingly white office staff for his campaign headquarters in Chicago.

That skewed workforce is starkly visible in an April photo released by Obama’s Chicago office, which shows roughly 100 of the office’s staff.

Only two of the people in the photo, far in the back, are clearly African-American, far below their 13 percent of the national population, and their 33-percent representation in Chicago.

“Were I the general counsel of an employer in Chicago with the workforce in the picture … I would be concerned,” said Charles Shanor, a law professor at Emory University and the former general counsel at the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.

“The workforce is overwhelmingly made up of young white males [and is] a demographic profile that could raise red flags under both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act,” he told TheDC.

I was looking at that pic a few days ago and I thought the males looked particularly effeminate

This one is so obvious that it’s textbook. BHO loves having the enemy oppressors (white males) serving him. It’s racist alright, just not the kind libs think it is. It’s against whites, and this is BHO’s way of subjugating them.

If you hire more queers, can you hire less Blacks?

As long as they are black lesbians, it’s ready to go.

US companies can! In China. And India. Here? The problem is not just forced minority hiring -- I think Obamacare was the final straw that made Atlas shrug.

Make them live up to their own standards.

Diversity - decorating their surroundings with skin coloring - is the central ideal in Leftist Utopia. Anyone who does not have their enviornment decorated with correct skin is “racist.” The Tea Party was depicted as racist because there were too many white people at the rallies. By his own standard of non-racism, Obama is a racist.

That's the point. LIBERTY is that you can...associate, voluntarily with whom you want. Those overwhelmingly white males are probably the best qualified campaigners they can find, for example.

However, Obama and the Left are NOT about Liberty, they are about social engineering (so long as everyone else are the ones getting engineered).

Good luck on Chicago-Democrat-Machine-Civil-Rights bureaucrats doing anything about this....

Since modern day liberalism involves the desire for government to take care of women and children, liberal males most certainly are less masculine.

Probably a lot of those 98 or so non-black faces in the campaign staff pool are white hispanics.

So, the Diversifier-in-Chief will undoubtedly be off the hook.

(The straight lines just keep coming and coming, don't they).

That’s a great chart. I’d like to get at the statistics underneath it and see how I might slice and dice it.
