— Shipping delays mounting as USPS struggles with ‘historic’ holiday volume. – LAUREN ZUMBACH (DIERSEN: Because of complaints about slow delivery of Christmas mail in 1965, the Democrats who ran the Post Office got a budget increase that resulted in the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office hiring me in November of 1966. They could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. I worked a) part-time while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and b) full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968 and 1969. They outrageously succeeded in forcing me to resign in September of 1969 by falsely claiming that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available to work all Mondays, all Fridays, all Saturdays, all Sundays, all holidays, and all days that NIU was not in session. My Democrat Park Forest Post Office supervisor made it clear that he strongly disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, conservative, Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German American, union member, non-poor, college student, draft avoider, Crete resident since 1948, owner of a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, then a 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and then a 1969 Dodge Charger SE, and my ancestors had been in America since 1844.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— How 2020 ruptured the link between the office and home. We’ve been cut loose from commuting for 10 months.

I took classes in downtown Chicago 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 and my wife took classes in the Loop 1978-1986. In 1984, we paid a big premium for the lot that we had our built on in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the Wheaton train station. In 1978 we paid a big premium for a home in Wheaton because we could walk to/from the College Avenue train station. In 1974 and 1976, I paid premiums for condos in downtown Chicago because I could walk to/from work and classes. In 1972, I bought a new town home in University Park in part because it was a relatively easy commute to my job in Harvey.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Other Republican lawmakers still hope to contest the results at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, when federal law requires Congress to count and certify the results of each state’s electoral vote. Rep. Mo Brooks (R., Ala.) said he would press ahead with a plan to object to votes in multiple states. It takes one member of the House and one senator to formally object and force votes in both chambers. Majorities in the House and Senate have to agree for the challenge to be successful, an extremely unlikely prospect given that Democrats control the House, but the effort could set the stage for a final public fight over the tally. I can either fight for honest and accurate elections, or I can join the surrender caucus,” Mr. Brooks said in an interview on Tuesday. “I prefer to fight for honest and fair and accurate elections that are the underpinning of any republic.”)

GAO, GAO constructively argued that I was a policy maker, and therefore, that GAO could terminate me because I opposed GAO’s policies of political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, and up-or-out.

https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/court-report-no-qualified-immunity-for-terminations-due-to-political-affiliation.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the allegations in the complaint, only the township assessor and the chief deputy assessors had the authority and responsibility to make or provide input into policy decisions. The plaintiffs alleged that they merely applied computer programs and fulfilled technical requirements in performing their job duties of assessing property, thereby exercising, at most, professional discretion. In reviewing the applicable state law and a prior court decision, there was no legal basis for concluding that the plaintiffs had a legal obligation or right to make policy. The appellate court determined that the law was well-established within the 7th Circuit that public servants employed in non-policymaking positions cannot be subjected to termination or other adverse employment actions based on their political affiliation. . .Professional Pointer: While the defendant will have an opportunity to avoid trial by presenting sufficient evidence that the deputy assessor plaintiffs were in fact involved in policymaking, this decision highlights the limitations on termination of government employees due to political interests. Although elected officials are, to some degree, represented by their subordinate employees and may worry that their image and effectiveness could be undermined by employees who prefer a different candidate or political party, termination of such employees must be based on job performance or other factors unrelated to politics. Generally, only those who are intimately involved in making policy can be required to be politically aligned with the elected official.)

— Trump loyalist Michael Pack plots final purge at federal media agency before Biden takes office – Brian Schwartz (DIERSEN: I worked for GAO in its Chicago office 1980-1997. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 always made it clear to those who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997 which GAO Chicago office employees they wanted to get rid of. Those employees were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The following frustrated efforts by the Democrats who ran GAO and its Chicago Office 1980-1997 to waste my career and to get rid of me: I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: There were 274 journalists in jail on Dec. 1—the most since the Committee to Project Journalists began its troubling annual census in 1992. The New York-based advocacy group said that in 2020, authoritarian governments took advantage both of the global pandemic and of the example provided by President Donald Trump, whose assault on an independent press and labeling of unwelcome facts as “fake news” reversed a long U.S. legacy of promoting free expression abroad. “The record number of journalists imprisoned around the world is President Trump’s press freedom legacy,” CPJ executive director Joel Simon said in a statement. The group called on President-elect Joesph Biden to “work as part of a global coalition to bring the number down.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: This comes after Silicon Valley companies intervened in the election on behalf of Joe Biden. In addition to Twitter and Facebook both burying the New York Post’s reporting on the Biden family’s financial ties to Ukraine and China, Google also suppressed conservative news sources. Six months before the election, following a major change to its core search algorithm, clicks and impressions to Breitbart News from Google searches for “Joe Biden,” dropped to zero and stayed there through election day. Prior to Google’s update, clicks and impressions from the search term saw a normal pattern of activity.)

— MARCH 3, 2016 FLASHBACK: Storage Units, Now With Space to Cook, Relax and Entertain Traditional industrial park-style storage facilities are giving way to customized spaces with kitchens, reclaimed wood and stylish seating areas. – Candace Jackson (DIERSEN: I am in the process of buying the 20X40 unit that served as Mr. Garrison’s indoor basketball court.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/storage-units-now-with-space-to-cook-relax-and-entertain-1457026958
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Shane Garrison, a 46-year-old executive at a commercial real-estate company, purchased a 3,000-square-foot storage unit in Iron Gate Motor Condos in Naperville, Ill., last May, spending roughly $400,000 to buy and build out the three-story space. He added an indoor basketball court, kitchen, car lift, two bathrooms and arcade games. Mr. Garrison also worked with an architect to design his place with a 30-foot-high reclaimed barn wood wall, polished concrete floors and an iron staircase. There is even a deck for outdoor grilling. The idea was to build a place where his wife and their 7-year-old and 5-year-old children could hang out with him while he tinkered with his​cars, a diverse collection he rotates through the space that includes a 1978 Porsche 930 and a Chevrolet Chevelle. “If you’re a car guy, you’d like somewhere to put them, and then you think about that and your family,” he says. “You don’t want it to be binary where you’re just there and the kids are at home.” For others, it’s more about creating the ultimate man cave. “While everyone checks their egos at the door, these guys really one up each other as far as finishing out their man caves,” says Mark Karolich, a Naperville, Ill. accountant who keeps four of his Porsches in his Iron Gate unit. Purchased for $134,000 and finished for another $50,000 to $60,000, it includes a reclaimed wood wall, a mural of the Breckenridge Gate, a kitchenette and a stone-tile bathroom. Tom Burgess, the developer of Iron Gate, says he opened the facility in 2014 and is currently constructing the fifth of 12 planned buildings. Prices for raw spaces start at $129,000, and go up to about $450,000.)

https://dailycaller.com/2020/12/10/mike-lee-senate-republicans-big-tech-section-230-censorship/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee emerged as a leading voice against Big Tech by introducing a bill to hold platforms accountable for viewpoint censorship and supporting a separate bill to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Lee introduced the Promoting Responsibility Over Moderation In the Social Media Environment Act (S.4975) Tuesday in the Senate. The bill — colloquially called the PROMISE Act — would require social media platforms to disclose their content moderation policies to users and would be barred from moderating certain types of content, according to a press release. “The billionaires who own our nation’s Big Tech companies have every right to be partisan political actors,” Lee said in a statement. “What they don’t have a right to do is make promises to consumers that they will provide unbiased platforms and then discriminate against conservatives on those same platforms.” Republican lawmakers have expressed concern that Big Tech companies like Twitter, Facebook and Google are using their online platforms to blacklist or censor conservative viewpoints.)

How strongly do Biden voters want Biden to use the federal government to get rid of those who voted for Trump in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, in your county, in Illinois, and in America? 269 voted for Biden in my precinct while only 157 voted for Trump. 39,530 voted for Biden in Milton Township while only 26,080 voted for Trump. 281,222 voted for Biden in DuPage County while only 193,611 voted for Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: 2. How does bias creep in? In any number of ways: People making a program can introduce biases, or the algorithms can “learn” bad behavior from training data before launch or from users afterward, causing results to warp over time. Software engineers can inadvertently discriminate against people. Facebook was embarrassed in 2015 when some Native Americans were blocked from signing up for accounts because their names — including Lance Browneyes and Dana Lone Hill — were judged fake. And Amazon.com Inc. ran into problems when an AI system it was testing to screen job applicants “taught” itself to weed out women. In other cases, algorithms may have been trained on too narrow a slice of reality.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “THIS is what division and fear looks like. We are ALL God’s children. This rhetoric is disgusting and offensive,” Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Nov. 14 tweet in reference to a 2016 sermon by The Rev. Raphael Warnock in which he said that “American needs to repent for its worship of whiteness.” . . . Warnock told worshippers that America needed to repent for glorifying whiteness and celebrity, and ignoring Trump’s often-harsh remarks until the Access Hollywood tape was released. He also criticized Georgia for refusing to expand Medicaid and increase the minimum wage. . . He then added, in reference to the 2016 presidential election: “No matter what happens next month, the more than a third of the nation that would go along with this is reason to be afraid. America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness on full display this season.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— RICKETTS & GOP RUMBLINGS; CABELLO SEEKS RECOUNT – Shia Kapos
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2020/12/07/ricketts-gop-rumblings-madigan-backs-black-agenda-sandoval-dies-of-covid-cabello-seeks-recount-491077
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Todd Ricketts isn’t ruling out a run for governor, according to a source close to the Cubs co-owner. The revelation follows Tim Schneider’s announcement over the weekend that he is stepping down as state party chairman, prompting chatter that Ricketts, who is also chairman of the Republican National Committee’s finance committee, may be a possible — though unlikely — replacement. “Todd thinks Tim did a great job as state chair. As Todd is continuing as RNC Finance chairman, he will not be a candidate for state chair,” the source said, which leaves Ricketts’ options open for a statewide run. Schneider’s exit has prompted a flurry of interest — and name-dropping — about who might replace him, including: retiring Congressman John Shimkus, state Central Committeewomen Jan Weber or Barbara Viviano; Will County GOP Chairman George Pearson, a Black man with military, business and political experience; and Lake County Republican Party Chairman Mark Shaw, who also serves as state-party co-chairman. Schneider announced his exit during a virtual meeting of the Republican State Central Committee on Saturday. It caught some folks by surprise. But conservatives in the group pounced, wanting to name Shaw chairman. He wasn’t able to get enough votes and party leaders instead decided to make it an open search. Shaw is still expected to apply, though some in the Republican Party are concerned about his track record in Lake County. Democrats ousted GOP incumbents for state’s attorney and coroner last month, and they retained circuit court clerk and recorder seats. Democrats on the County Board also upped their majority from 12-9 to 15-6. The Tribune’s Rick Pearson describes Shaw as “a controversial figure” in GOP politics, for his shoot-from-the-hip tweets. Statewide, meanwhile, Republicans saw two big wins Nov. 3 with the defeat of Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s graduated income tax plan and stopping Supreme Court Justice Thomas Kilbride, a Democrat, from being retained. Now the party looks to capitalize on those victories and ramp up fundraising. It’s treating the hunt for a new chairman the way a company would conduct a CEO search. “We’ve pulled ourselves out of a dip and want to go into growth mode,” said one GOP source. The challenge the next chairman has isn’t any different than what Schneider has faced: managing the views of downstate Republicans vs. those in the northern part of the state. . .CABELLO seeks recount after loss: “State Rep. John Cabello is seeking a recount after the Republican’s narrow defeat to local attorney Dave Vella in the Nov. 3 election. Final election results in the race for the 68th District seat in the Illinois House of Representatives put Democratic challenger Vella 239 votes ahead after 53,301 were cast in Rockford and Winnebago County combined. Cabello on Friday filed paperwork with the Rockford Board of Elections asking for a recount in 10 Rockford precincts located inside six different wards,” by Rockford Register Star’s Jeff Kolkey.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— A dogfight rocks the top of the Illinois GOP. And there’s more at stake than the chairmanship. – GREG HINZ
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/dogfight-rocks-top-illinois-gop
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to party sources, Schneider, a former Cook County commissioner who was first made chairman by then-Gov. Bruce Rauner six years ago, has become tired of the unpaid job and particularly of clashes with central committee conservatives. He apparently wants to move on to private pursuits. At the weekend meeting, committee members went into closed executive session for more than three and a half hours, sources say, with conservative leader Mark Shaw, the Lake County chairman, coming within “one vote, maybe two” of winning the state post. Instead, a committee of two people from each side will try to work things out in coming weeks. How they will do that is not clear. Shaw didn’t return a phone call, and exactly what he would do differently than Schneider is not clear. But his style and that of his allies is reminiscent of how then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives almost toppled Rauner in the 2018 GOP primary with an in-your-face campaign during which she sharply underlined differences on abortion, gun rights, immigration and other matters. Revisiting that comes as the national GOP has been mostly mute over Trump’s unfounded claims that the election was “rigged” and must be overturned by Republican lawmakers. Notably among those castigating Trump for that and other stances is the only Republican congressman to represent part of the Chicago suburbs, Channahon’s Adam Kinzinger. Many in the party believe he’s trying to position himself to run for higher office—against Gov. J.B. Pritzker, or perhaps Sen. Tammy Duckworth, both up for re-election in 2022—and wants to build up some chits in what overall is a blue state. I suspect Kinzinger will keep a close eye on the chairmanship battle, the outcome of which could ease or complicate any effort by him to move up. The irony is that this battle—Shaw also ran for chairman two years ago—comes at a time when Republicans have some opportunity. Not only are Democrats divided over Madigan, but they just lost an Illinois Supreme Court seat and Pritzker faces only bad and worse fiscal choices in the wake of the defeat of his graduated income tax. Conservatives probably will argue the better path to success is not to rely on the business establishment, but to rev up their base. Perhaps. Meantime, we’ll see how nasty this fight gets. If it’s half as nasty as Trump’s exit plan, it will be a beaut.)

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— FIGHT OVER THE NEXT IL GOP CHAIRMAN REVS UP
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2020/12/fight-over-who-the-next-il-gop-chairman-revs-up.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So with all this to boast about, the Illinois Republican Party once again is at a crossroads: Do they follow the establishment elite, so-called “Pat Brady” path, or do they choose the path their conservative activist base has been begging for? According to the IL GOP’s press release, Schneider is stepping down after six years because he’s ready to do so. It appears he may be planning to stay around until a committee of four State Central Committee members he’s appointed find a replacement. Those committee members line up on two sides of the battle lines: Mike Bigger (18th CD) and long-time Jim Durkin staffer Judy Diekelman (2nd CD) on the “Pat Brady” party side and Char Foss-Eggeman (9th CD) and Fred Floreth (13th CD) more on the conservative base side. The former “Pat Brady” side of the equation line up with GOP powerhouses that endorsed and promoted John Kasich in the 2016 presidential bid and tend to promote “moderate” social views, Democrat tolerance and political career preservation. The conservative base has endured year after year of the Pat Brady mindset mocking them, telling them to get out of the party and take with them their conservative social views. Illinois Review will be working on getting responses from names we’ve heard are in the mix to succeed Schneider – including State Central Committeeman Mark Shaw, Mike Bigger on one side and names from the conservative side, including former State Rep. Jeanne Ives, former GOP IL Senate candidate Tom McCallagh, Cubs owner Todd Ricketts and businessman Gary Rabine.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/books/2020/12/01/ijeoma-oluo-mediocre-book-white-male-america/6466188002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Oluo isn’t insinuating all white men are mediocre: “What I’m saying is that white male mediocrity is a baseline, the dominant narrative, and that everything in our society is centered around preserving white male power regardless of while male skill or talent.” Slavery and backlash to the Great Migration; the takeover of indigenous lands and genocide of Native Americans; modern-day politics across the political spectrum; higher education’s racist roots and continuing struggle to deal with racism; and her own experiences with internet trolls, including the endangerment of her son, are just some of the examples the author of USA TODAY best-seller “So You Want to Talk About Race” (2018) invokes in the well-researched, yet highly personal, tome that shines a spotlight on modern-day racism and white supremacy.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/12/04/jobs-near-me-chronic-unemployment-stigma-even-during-pandemic/3804962001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Historically, the long-term unemployed have a much tougher time finding jobs than those sidelined for shorter spells. Skills erode over time, the theory goes, and extended unemployment may carry a stigma. That means a large group of Americans may have less income and spending power for years, even after the pandemic and its short-term economic effects are over.)

ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— ILGOP Chairman Announces Transition to New Leadership for the 2022 Cycle
https://mailchi.mp/6080dbbda8e7/icymi-pritzker-admin-mia-while-over-20-of-lasalle-veterans-home-residents-die-of-covid-4669652
(FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT: At today’s ILGOP State Central Committee meeting, Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider announced that he would begin a transition out of his role as head of the state party and appoint a new committee within the ILGOP State Central Committee tasked with creating a process for selecting a new Chairman in the weeks to come. Schneider has released the following statement: “It has been the honor of a lifetime to lead this party for the past six years. The Illinois Republican Party is an important force for change in a state that so desperately needs it. During my tenure, the ILGOP has stood for reform – term limits, fair maps, and the end to the rampant corruption plaguing our state. And we were united around our conservative values of smaller government, lower taxes, and personal responsibility. In the 2020 election cycle, the Illinois Republican Party played important roles in defeating Pritzker’s progressive income tax hike, defending congressional target Congressman Rodney Davis, kicking Madigan’s favorite judge Tom Kilbride off the state Supreme Court, electing David Overstreet to the state Supreme Court, and netting a seat in the Illinois House. The Illinois Republican Party concludes the cycle more united, stronger, and well positioned to defeat the Pritzker-Madigan agenda in 2021. I believe the ILGOP is in a great position to take this momentum and regain the Governor’s mansion, win a US Senate seat, win majority control of the Supreme Court for the first time, and put up a strong fight in other races up and down the ballot in 2022. So, after the successes in 2020 and with plenty of time to gear up for the next election, I have decided it’s the right time to begin the transition to a new Chairman early next year. The entire State Central Committee is committed to an open and transparent process to select the best person for the job.” Chairman Schneider was unanimously elected Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party in May 2014. Schneider was re-elected to a second four-year term in May 2018. The term concludes in May 2022. Chairman Schneider has selected the following State Central Committee members to serve on a committee that will recommend a process and timeline for choosing a successor Chairman at the party’s next meeting on January 9, 2021. Mike Bigger – 18th Congressional District (Chairman) Char Foss-Eggemann – 9th Congressional District Fred Floreth – 13th Congressional District Judy Diekelman – 2nd Congressional District Schneider will serve as Chairman until the full State Central Committee chooses a successor Chairman.)

— Tim Schneider to Step Down as Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/tim-schneider-to-step-down-as-chairman-of-the-illinois-republican-party/2387428/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tim Schneider has announced that he is stepping down from his role as chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, saying he believes “it is a good time” to leave the position he has occupied for the last six years. Schneider says the success of the Republican Party in the 2020 election cycle allowed him to step aside, and that the transition process to find the next leader of the party is currently ongoing. “After six-plus years and a very successful cycle, and with the Illinois GOP positioned well, I believe it’s a good time for me to transition out,” he said in a statement to NBC 5’s Mary Ann Ahern. Schneider says that the average length of a state chairmanship in the party lasts for less than two years. According to the Illinois GOP’s website, Schneider was unanimously selected as the party’s chairman in 2014, with an emphasis on “value for tax dollars, a quality education for our kids (and) term limits on career politicians.” Before being picked as the Republican party chairman, Schneider served as a Cook County board commissioner in the 15th District, a position he held from 2006 to 2018.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Illinois Republican Party Chairman Tim Schneider says he’ll step down amid hard-liner push to replace him – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-illinois-republican-chairman-tim-schneider-to-resign-20201205-wmwfzltx7zgzfirasawxaiytyy-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sources said Schneider, who embraced President Donald Trump’s reelection and weathered the controversial years of Rauner’s tenure, was facing opposition from more conservative hard-liners within the state GOP hierarchy. The sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting, said a push was made to name Lake County GOP Chairman Mark Shaw to replace Schneider as chairman during Saturday’s meeting, but those efforts fell short. Two years ago, Lake Forest’s Shaw sought to challenge Schneider for the party’s chairmanship. But in a compromise brokered by Rauner, Shaw backed off and accepted the newly created title of party co-chairman for “conservative and grassroots outreach.” At the time, Rauner, who was seeking reelection, fell out of favor with party conservatives over his support of legislation that expanded abortion and LGBTQ rights. Those positions almost cost him renomination after narrowly defeating former state Rep. Jeanne Ives of Wheaton in the GOP primary. Shaw has been a controversial figure. In September, his county GOP organization touted a Republican fundraiser on Facebook, saying, “An invigorated Republican electorate enjoyed a beautiful fundraiser … ‘without fear and without masks!’” The posting included a video of the indoor and outdoor event, which featured few people wearing masks despite guidelines dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Two weeks after the 2017 Las Vegas massacre of concertgoers that killed 58 people and wounded hundreds of others, Shaw’s county GOP organization held a fundraiser where at least a dozen firearms were raffled off. Shaw said some of the money raised at the event would be donated to Las Vegas first responders. With immediate support for Shaw lacking among top Republicans on Saturday, the party leaders agreed to form a search committee, which will present its recommendations for a new chairman on Jan. 9. Schneider’s term was to run through May 2022. “I believe the ILGOP is in a great position to take this momentum (of 2020) and regain the governor’s mansion, win a U.S. Senate seat, win majority control of the Supreme Court for the first time, and put up a strong fight in other races up and down the ballot in 2022,” Schneider said.)

— Facebook to rank anti-black hate speech over anti-white comments – Ebony Bowden (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrats promote hatred against Republicans. Ever increasingly, Democrats call Republicans White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. To call someone a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, or bigot in America today is like calling someone a Jew in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s.)
https://nypost.com/2020/12/04/facebooks-hate-speech-algorithm-to-prioritize-anti-black-comments/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Facebook has updated its hate speech algorithm, reversing years of neutrality to prioritize anti-black comments while making anti-white slurs the lowest priority. The tech giant’s new system for detecting hate speech, known internally as the WoW Project, will automatically delete hateful language directed at the LGBTQ community, Jews, Muslims and African Americans — which has been dubbed by Facebook engineers as the “worst of the worst,” the Washington Post reported. The company will now begin scoring hate speech and offensive posts, and remarks about “men,” “whites” and “Americans” will be marked “low sensitivity,” the report said.)
