— Pfizer sets race-based hiring goals in the name of fighting ‘systemic racism,’ ‘gender equity challenges’ Shareholder suggests non-minority applicants who have been denied a job or a promotion should sue – Tyler O’Neil
(COMMENT: In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Firestone Stores hired me for part-time work in 1971 and for full-time work in 1970 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 for part-time work because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

CHRISTIAN POST
— What the parable of the forgiven debt says about reparations – Nathan Cherry
(COMMENT: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who promote reparations, that is, who promote Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, who promote patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.christianpost.com/news/what-the-parable-of-the-forgiven-debt-says-about-reparations.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biblically, there is nothing just or fair about making people that never had slaves pay restitution for the crimes and sins of people many generations ago. Such an idea violates numerous biblical principles.)

— There’s A Reason DC Democrats Are Always Winning, Even When They Lose. When it matters, Republicans look around and say, ‘Oh no we can’t do that, we’d lose a man. The Democrats would take seats.’ – Christopher Bedford
(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I should write a book about RINO activists, RINO candidates, RINO elected officials, RINO party leaders, RINO political consultants, RINO major donors, RINO fundraisers, RINO campaign managers, RINO etc. who have made it the most clear that they are anti-conservative, that is, that they are anti-Republican. Most commonly, they reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform and b) focus on destroying Republicans like me who support the aforesaid planks.)

(COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform calls for equal opportunity, that is, for no race or gender based preference giving. From what I see, ever-increasingly, RINO Republican Party leaders in Illinois who reject that plank get rid of White Republican Precinct Committeemen a) who do not attribute “White Privilege” for whatever successes that they have had in life and b) who are conservative, Trump supporters, male, older, non-veteran, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Feds rule that physical strength test discriminates against female truck drivers
