requires bias training for state employees.

This heifer doesn't realize the backlash this is going to cause. I don't know the percentage of black employees in Wisconsin state government presently but with a statewide percentage of 14 there's a lot of employees that aren't going to take lightly her politics being forced on them after what they have seen her do over the last several months.

quote:

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is declaring racism a public health crisis and pursuing initiatives to "eradicate and prevent discrimination and racial inequity" -- including making all state employees undergo "implicit bias training," her office announced Wednesday.


“Implicit, unconscious bias exists within each of us, and as public servants we have a duty to understand how our bias can impact the lives of others,” the Democrat said in a statement. “I am committed to leading by example and making sure state government is a model for equality, understanding, and fairness.”

"We have a lot of work to do to eradicate the systemic racism that Black Americans have faced for generations," Whitmer said at a news conference updating the public on the COVID-19 pandemic. "That’s going to take time."

If we all have bias because we can’t do anything about it, how is training going to change it? Because if training could help it, how would people know that you didn’t already have the training? It is flawed logic.

I know many Whites who only watch media that does not show what is really going on, so not sure you are right.

I bet Michigan state employees will soon have training to point out that it is wrong to comment on a woman's saggy pooch gut when they wear a tight dress.

Someone needs to train her on how to be a governor.

I went back and added a couple of words. Thanks. In 2010 it was about 22%. More blacks hold government jobs in Wis. than private sector jobs.

Thank you, Gov. Whitmer, for helping steer even more of the undecideds towards Trump and the pubs.

Everybodyjust wants to defund the police and stop systematic racism...

But yet No one seems to offer changes to FBI statistics that say the number one killer in the USA is young black males from 16 to 26 years old.

Racism is white people's fault, but lack of parenting is not the parents fault and definitely not due to government assistance but rather blames drugs and lack of education...

I am confused by Michigan Governor and then you bring up Wisconsin? What is the correlation there or is it an error?

If racism is a public health crisis then this mental illness is a national security crisis, and it's time to occupy.
