INDIVISIBLE DUPAGE, ELMHURST ALLIANCE FOR RACIAL JUSTICE, TEAM ILLINOIS FOR EQUITY & REFORM
— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Retirement of the Majority Rally! (DIERSEN: What do the following have to say about this: a) the leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Organization; b) Republican candidates on November 3, 2020 ballots in DuPage County; and c) the leaders of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have presented themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican?)
https://www.facebook.com/events/307850140389512/
(FROM THE POSTING: The Retirement of the Majority Rally will be on 7/14/2020 live at Facebook and at 9:00AM at the North East corner of County Farm Rd. & Manchester Rd. in Wheaton. Parking will be at 421 N. County Farm Rd. We will be gathering at the corner just across the parking lot from where the county board will meet. Sign up here for up to date information https://actionnetwork.org/events/the-retirement-of-the-majority-rally-catch-22-before-2022/ For a map go to bit.ly/7-14Map. Current Hosts: Indivisible DuPage, Naper Youth for BLM, Elmhurst Alliance for Racial Reform, Lombard Allies for Racial Justice, TIER, Carol Stream Community Activists, and Hinsdale for BLM. These groups will celebrate the end of the one party rule in DuPage County. We are educating the community about 22 state policy initiatives that could be done in the next legislative session that would stop killing BIPOC when they are signed into law. (A more succinct document is coming but they are here bit.ly/Legislative-Options.) Peter DiCianni needs to be held accountable and this protest will ensure that the public will not look away. The reality is that we live in a one party county that has lost the social contract required to govern. This event will celebrate the retirement of their majority rule over the second largest county in the state, which we predict will be by the end of this year. This event will be an authentic BIPOC activist fair directed at young people organized with and by young people. There will be a large community art build, with speakers ranging from youth activists to candidates and educators. We will be directing public commenters to the board, during the entire meeting.

There will be celebration cupcakes and music to mark the retirement! There will be a march as well.

Choose 7/14 https://dupagecounty-ktgfp.formstack.com/forms/publiccomment Here are our demands. 1. There should be a clearly defined method for censuring elected officials in DuPage County. Not having one is unacceptable. 2. Peter DiCianni should be censured for his actions in the many videos and in his written words. If he isn’t it will be clear public accountability of elected officials is gone. 3. Peter DiCianni should be removed from chairing the Health and Human Services Board for his unacceptable behavior. If he isn’t, it will be clear they don’t have acceptable standards. 4. He has violated the ethics Agreement he swore an oath to. He should be removed. A vote needs to be taken, even if it is in the court of public opinion.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville’s fireworks are being shot off from the south side of town and the debut of The Naperville Salute has been postponed until 2021, but there is one Fourth of July event planned to bring patriotism to the downtown Saturday. Safe DuPage, an organization formed by Naperville City Council member Kevin Coyne, is hosting “Celebrating Naperville’s Heroes: 4th of July” at 9:30 a.m. at the base of the Millennium Carillon in Moser Tower at Rotary Hill, 455 Aurora Ave. Coyne said the event will include music and speakers in a socially distanced format with all attendees asked to wear masks and follow U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Attendees also are asked to wear red, white and blue and to bring an American flag to wave. The purpose of the gathering, Coyne said, is to celebrate American independence and local safety. Speakers are set to include veterans, community leaders and elected officials. “We thought it’d be nice for an assortment of reasons to kick off the Fourth of July with a nice, patriotic-themed event that recognizes our public safety officers in Naperville who have done such a great job for so long,” Coyne said.)

The person said the league is working collaboratively with players to recognize victims of systemic racism throughout the season in a variety of ways. The person spoke to the AP on Thursday on condition of anonymity because discussions between the league and the NFL Players Association are ongoing. Additional plans include the use of educational programs and storytelling about the victims and their families similar to the league’s PSA on Botham Jean released in January and the Super Bowl commercial on Corey Jones featuring his cousin, former NFL star Anquan Boldin.)

CORNELL SUN
— Cornell Alum Discusses Lack of Racial Diversity in Finance Industry – Maia Lee (DIERSEN: What if the financial industry adopted GAO’s up-or-out policy for its employees who are White and/or male? For example, the financial industry could get rid of its employees who are White and/or male who are not earning at least a) $250,000/year by age 25, b) $500,000/year by age 30, c) $1,000,000/year by age 35, d) $5,000,000/year by age 40, e) $10,000,000/year by age 45, f) $50,000,000/year by age 50, g) etc.)
https://cornellsun.com/2020/07/02/cornell-alum-discusses-lack-of-racial-diversity-in-finance-industry/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A 2017 trend report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that only 28 percent of professional positions in financial services were held by minorities. Upward mobility is another problem: Black and Latino employees make up 4 percent or less of executive and senior level employees of the largest U.S. banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. A lack of representation for minorities can be attributed to several factors such as on-campus recruitment and unresolved prejudices. The GAO’s 2017 trend report found unconscious biases in promotions, a reluctance to recruit from more than a handful of elite universities and lack of leadership commitment to diversity as the main barriers to increasing diversity in the finance industry. Another possible explanation is that the industry places an especially heavy emphasis on networking as a part of the recruiting process. This can be disadvantageous for people of color through stereotyping during mentorship and having far less access to social networks. Graves said this becomes a self-perpetuating cycle in which a “lack of diversity breeds more lack of diversity.” She also noted that the perception of the finance industry as a “stodgy industry for older white guys” can deter young college students — especially those from underrepresented minority backgrounds — from applying to positions in financial services in the first place. Graves compared this image with major tech companies like Google and Facebook, which brand themselves as “cool, diverse and socially conscious” workplaces, suggesting that large finance firms may benefit from a remarketing strategy.)

— Liberals Are Creating A Nation Of Spoiled Brats – Derek Hunter (DIERSEN: What did you do when you were young? I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; and delivered mail 1966-1969. I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970. I bought a 1958 Chevy BelAir in 1964, a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, and a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2020/07/02/liberals-are-creating-a-nation-of-spoiled-brats-n2571733
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It starts, “It’s not the police who need to be retrained, it’s the public. We have grown into a mouthy, cell phone-wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of ‘it’s the other person’s fault,’ ‘you owe me.’ A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowledge or concern for civil society and personal responsibility.” We can argue whether or not police need more training – I don’t personally view it as a bad idea – but the rest is spot on. It’s the America liberals have created: a bunch of self-entitled brats used to getting whatever they want and unable to deal with not being coddled. We’ve seen it for a while now, mostly on college campuses but occasionally boiling over off campus into things like “Occupy Wall Street.” They’re the unemployed and otherwise unemployable who are angry about the results of the bad choices they made – majoring in bisexual polar bear studies or some other worthless field of study that only qualifies you to teach that worthless skill to other suckers dumb enough to major in it, for example – and unqualified to do anything. Their rooms back home are likely covered with participation ribbons, driveways likely filled by the family Prius coated with “I’m the proud parent of a spectacular student” bumper stickers, and fridges overrun with tofu. In other words, these people were created. Bad parenting has consequences.)

NEW YORK POST
— The agenda of Black Lives Matter is far different from the slogan – Mike Gonzalez and Andrew Olivastro (DIERSEN: To promote BLM is to shout that you hate individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://nypost.com/2020/07/01/the-agenda-of-black-lives-matter-is-far-different-from-the-slogan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many see the slogan Black Lives Matter as a plea to ­secure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans, especially historically wronged African Americans. They add the BLM hashtag to their social-media profiles, carry BLM signs at protests and make financial donations. Tragically, when they do donate, they are likely to bankroll a number of radical organizations, founded by committed Marxists whose goals aren’t to make the American Dream a reality for everyone — but to transform America completely. This might be unknown to some of the world’s best-known companies, which have jumped on the BLM bandwagon. Brands like Airbnb and Spanx have promised direct donations. True, others like Nike and Netflix have shrewdly channeled their donations elsewhere, like the NAACP and other organizations that have led the struggle for civil rights for decades. These companies are likely aware of BLM’s ­extreme agenda and recoil from bankrolling destructive ideas. But it requires sleuthing to learn this. Companies that don’t do this hard work are providing air cover for a destructive movement and compelling their employees, shareowners and customers to endorse the same. Just ask BLM leaders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi. In a revealing 2015 interview, Cullors said, “Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists.” That same year, Tometi was hobnobbing with Venezuela’s Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro, of whose regime she wrote: “In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world.” Millions of Venezuelans suffering under Maduro’s murderous misrule presumably couldn’t be reached for comment. Visit the Black Lives Matter Web site, and the first frame you get is a large crowd with fists raised and the slogan “Now We Transform.” Read the list of demands, and you get a sense of how deep a transformation they seek. One proclaims: “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear-family-structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another.”)

DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, discrimination in past is blamed for the problems that minorities have today. Did your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents, or any of the rest of your ancestors discriminate against minorities? Mine did not. But nevertheless, my Democrat superiors in federal government made me pay the price of Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, and Inclusion. None of my ancestors attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My great grandparents were farmers in Grant Park and Crete. My grandparents on my father’s side operated a hardware store in Crete. My grandparents on my mother’s side operated a farm in Grant Park. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. After my father died, my mother worked in a dental office in Crete. What if AA, Diversity, and Inclusion were only for those whose parents did not have a college degree?

https://fordauthority.com/2020/06/u-s-ford-social-media-advertising-to-shut-down-for-30-days-as-boycotts-continue/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In recent days, more and more large companies are boycotting Facebook as part of a growing protest that claims the social media platform hasn’t done enough to prevent the spread of hate speech. . .A civil rights coalition that includes the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the NAACP launched the #StopHateforProfit campaign last week, calling on major corporations to put a pause on advertising on Facebook. Their reasoning is the social media giant’s “repeated failure to meaningfully address the vast proliferation of hate on its platforms.”)
