Not only affirmative action with quotas, but the directive also says all city employees must take "implicit bias training". I guess that means they teach white people they are racist even if they aren't.

I looked up implicit bias training and ended up wthis

It's must be white AA b.c that's negro land since the days of Christ.

No, it's for blacks.

There's Affirmative Action, Employment Equity, Black Economic Empowerment and racial quotas for national sports for blacks.

Also, there are different grade thresholds to get into schools, university and for advanced degrees based on race. Whites need the highest grade, second Indians and Asians, third Coloureds/Khoi-San/Bushmen/ and Mixed race, and a lot lower are for Black Africans.

Being from America, you'd most likely be classified as 'Coloured' and not Black African.

With BEE for instance, the government wants employment by race in a business with over 50 employees and government departments to correspond to racial percentages. So if the Coloured population is 9 percent, if there are 100 vacancies only 9 positions may be awarded to them, irrespective of merit, experience or who is best suited to the job.

Also foreign business who want to invest locally are forced to give a percentage of their shares to blacks for free which has seen foreign investment obviously decrease.

The last 25 years has seen de-industrialisation of 40 %.

a minimum of 9, you can employ 100% black people if you like but you must have at least 9

If their racial percentage is 9 % of the population, then the maximum amount that may be employed of that race in a government department/army/police or larger business is 9 %.

Also, only businesses with black partners who own 51 % of the business may be awarded government contracts.

Why can't the most qualified person, regardless of race or gender get the job? Why this need to push unqualified people into positions based on their race or gender? Equality? Sounds like they want special treatment.

Your making way to much sense for the pea brained scum on the left.

In 2020 the minimum requirements for a City of Chicago publicly bid contract are 25% MBE and 5% WBE, regardless of the size of the contract.

I’d estimate 80% - 90% of the MBEs, DBEs, and WBEs are sham fronts for white-owned businesses or complete pass-through firms.

Lol, incompetence has always been rewarded. Do you think the best people make it to the top in government or those with the best connections?

Lewis Hamilton the half black/half white Formula One driver is now supporting BLM and is establishing a 'diversity division' in F1

He's complaining of racism but has been helped from the beginning of his racing and F1 career.

Because some incompetent people succeed doesn't mean we should encourage it ...Besides being unfair it's terrible for the country.

I can't argue that black men don't want to work, but Jordan Kilganon disagrees with your first statement.

Which is the bigger issue for the country? Incompetent people making to the top in politics or Jaqweesha making it to a senior position at the DMV?

One is genuinely terrible for the country, the other is an announce.

It goes completely against a free-market system and meritocracy and reduces competitiveness.

By not having the best, most qualified, most suitable, experienced person etc it brings the level down.

A person is then chosen not because they are the best candidate but rather because they fulfil a state quota.

All those points you made equally apply to the current 2 party model of politics in the US.

Trump and Biden is the level it's been brought down to. 2 men no man would trust to be left alone in a room with their teenage daughters for even 5 minutes.
