Sounds to me like the Trump Administration knows how to throw away a losing hand. Not all investigations result in charges being filed.
No. It's because Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap won his suit that ensures the Dems will have access to information from the commission. Don't forget that the GOP blocked information from Dem members of the Voter Fraud Commission. http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/24/politics/matthew-dunlap-voter-fraud-commission/index.html
Sounds like these guys try to stack the deck in their favor. Sounds similiar to a complaint by Republicans on the Russia Investigation. Would it not be best to have a non-partisan or balanced group of people in these investigations who use long established rules that all parties must adhere to?
I am referring to an post in Elite Trader highlighting this compliant. Something about a grand jury being stacked, I think. Will look for the post and see if a source is sited.
Ya, an anonymous witness in a tabloid claims that 11 out of 20 jurors are black which is surprising for an area that is 60% black. Do you need more evidence that right wingers are racists?
Ok, let’s talk about racism. I just skimmed an article in Wikipedia.org on it. Part of it said rasism is the belief that one’s race is superior to another race. My belief is that the physical differences between the race are based on an evolutionary advantage related to different climates, terrain, and other conditions. Thus in general terms each race has its own advantages. Is someone were to say “I am superior to you because my skin can tolerate sun better than yours can,” that person, by this definition would be considered a racist. But does this matter? Let’s talk about descrimination: “I will not go out with you because you have light skin.” Is it not the descrimator’s perogative to be able to choose who they go out with? How about descrimination in employment? “I do not want you on my team because you do not run fast enough.” Is it not the obligation of the coach to ensure the best possible players are on the team? Is it not fair for employers to make hiring decisions based on competency in order to fulfill their obligations the the owners of the business? Are there general characteristics or tendencies that give a particular race a disadvantage in certain situations? If so, what are they? If it is determined there are significant disparities berween the races, resulting in less opportunities for the affected race, what should the obligations of society be to ensure the affected race not be descriminated against? Should employer and business owners rights be considered?
But that's not what's happening. How can employers determine competency based on names? Are Emily and Greg More Employable than Lakisha and Jamal? A Field Experiment on Labor Market Discrimination Marianne Bertrand, Sendhil Mullainathan NBER Working Paper No. 9873 Issued in July 2003 NBER Program(s):Labor Studies We perform a field experiment to measure racial discrimination in the labor market. We respond with fictitious resumes to help-wanted ads in Boston and Chicago newspapers. To manipulate perception of race, each resume is assigned either a very African American sounding name or a very White sounding name. The results show significant discrimination against African-American names: White names receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. We also find that race affects the benefits of a better resume. For White names, a higher quality resume elicits 30 percent more callbacks whereas for African Americans, it elicits a far smaller increase. Applicants living in better neighborhoods receive more callbacks but, interestingly, this effect does not differ by race. The amount of discrimination is uniform across occupations and industries. Federal contractors and employers who list Equal Opportunity Employer' in their ad discriminate as much as other employers. We find little evidence that our results are driven by employers inferring something other than race, such as social class, from the names. These results suggest that racial discrimination is still a prominent feature of the labor market. http://www.nber.org/papers/w9873
Based on the assumption this survey represents what is really happening, what would the best course of action be?
