— Reporters Should Press Presidential Candidate Bill De Blasio On ‘Toxic Whiteness’ New York City is being sued for discriminating against white educators under Bill de Blasio’s watch. Will the white mayor defend this discrimination? – David Marcus (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who a) promote patronage, b) promote political affiliation discrimination, c) promote reverse discrimination, d) promote age discrimination, and/or e) promote retaliation for opposing the aforesaid. I would focus on those who paint/painted themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have/had lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. The aforesaid completely agree with, if not orchestrated, all the adverse actions that the Post Office, IRS, GAO, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, Illinois Center Right Coalition, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and TAPROOT Republicans took against me. Many of the aforesaid also promote religious discrimination and national origin discrimination.)

Previously, they had a) given me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, c) not promoted me beyond GS-13, d) gotten rid of my mentor in 1987, e) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $19,568 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.)
