quote:

a strategy to wield City Hall as a tool for social justice


quote:

His administration and a team of advocacy groups spent the past year hosting discussions, conducting interviews and plotting data points to form a foundation for an "equity office" at City Hall.


quote:

that the unemployment rate for African Americans stood at 14 percent, compared to 5.5 percent for whites.


quote:

All that has been lost because the country clubs have been closed, and the corporate doors have been shut. And we haven't opened up, and (we) only let certain kinds of people in who are not really like everybody else. It is almost incalculable about what we have lost. And that is not just an issue of, 'Oh, we have not been fair,' it is that we lost."


quote:

would lay groundwork for each city department to assess its own disparities among racial, gender, sexual orientation and economic lines -- both within its own ranks and how it dispenses city services. That would then become a blueprint for new policies, new approaches.


GFD, can't this clown just go away. Maybe if certain ethnic groups would get an education and not live off the dole, their unemployment rate wouldn't be so high. I for one wouldn't let certain people in to my close circle. Effin Animals.

The left and the intelligentsia seem to operate under this assumption that outcomes of any kind, especially employment or hiring demographics, would be equal if they were allowed to arrange society a certain way.

Wait one Cotton Pickin second. I was told here that the vast majority of black people do not work and that they live off the government.

Come on, mayor. Just go ahead and pass a city reparations tax and be done with it. We know that's what you want to do.

This will end up changing absolutely nothing, because it is not intended to. It is nothing more than a white man telling black people the same old social justice bullshite in order to get their votes.

This problem cannot be solved by dividing people along racial lines and playing one against the other. It will take us (all) coming together for one common purpose. That will never happen as long as we let sociopathic politicians separate us while lining their own pockets. It is amazing to me how many intelligent people, both black and white, allow themselves to fall for the same old trick over and over again.

What does that statement about country clubs even mean??? Did the Landrieu family's favorite country club close?

Translation: racial quotas.

Want to fix unemployment in the black communities? Fix the epidemic of single-parent families in the black community.

I can see it now-



First; it starts with an internal city governance overhaul to increase diversity.

Second; the city starts pumping more money into the "disadvantaged" groups and locations.

Third; they start cutting services and funding to the non-minority areas, followed soon by cutting back on police presence.

Lastly; they threaten to take action against these "privileged" clubs/groups/businesses by way of fines, taxes, and cessation of public services (like water, sewer, trash, electrical services).



I'm actually a little surprised it took them this long to go down this route.
