So discrimmination can only happen when the majority population keeps the minority population from getting a job???

so when affirmative action prevents a majority population from getting a job instead of a minority population..based purely on their race..it is ok...right.

The only fair way to hire would be strictly on qualification and placing a bid on how much you were willing to accept to do the job.

That's why I Faxed Obama with that idea and the idea to abolish the obsolete Min. Wage. The Corps could get good, qualified labor at a cheaper rate. Mo' money fo' da' Man!

We had to have A.A. because people were NOT being hired based on qualifications.

I don't dispute that.
As it is now, the Employer states the job, description, rate of pay, and benis.

To make it even more fair, Meet the qualifications. Delete what the salary would be and benis. Then, allow sealed bidding. Whoever gives the Employer the best deal, hire 'em. If they are willing to work for less than Min. Wage, let 'em. Supplement the income with your Social Programs.

Win, win.

You must be joking!

No freaking way! That's the way it was a long time ago and we had people working for pennys a day (and starving to death while doing so)and chaining kids to machines in factories. NO FREAKING WAY! That would turn our country into a hell on Earth. I dont think you really believe this

No, seriously. This is the suggestion I Faxed on Thursday.
And I even signed my real name with real contact info and all.

Mr President

I humbly suggest abolish the minimum wage scale. In these hard economic times, I believe it to be obsolete.
Supply and demand. More unemployed and fewer jobs.
Adding 12 to 20 million new legal residents, all competing for jobs along with the millions of unemployed Americans, should be given the opportunity to bid, how much they would be willing to accept as as a wage on the jobs they seek. The lowest bid, matching the qualifications, should be awarded to that person.
Being Bi-lingual should be mandatory in the workplace, at least when working with the public.

Your servant,

Im speechless.I really amFor your sake, I just hope you are meaning that in a satirical sense.

Read my lips.
I sent it Fax on Thursday.

Can you make up for past bad behavior by using bad behavior today?? You say that in order to rectify past racism you need to be racist aginst people now..that doesn't make sense..

I know ,and I believe you ,and I can appreciate the sarcastic sense of humor. And its certainly is your right to do that.I dont think you meant that idea seriously. You seem to mean it as a statement and I can appreciate that.

No Sir,
I meant it as it is written. No sarcasm, at least I hope they don't read it that way.
You see, all this time I've been bucking the Liberal system. Trying to input what I feel, is in the best interests of the American and Legal Immigrant.
Now, I will act in my own interest.
As I explained to Fanta, I am a business man and also a disabled vet. When I hire Part-Time hourly people, it cost an arm and a leg just to get them hired. I want more bang for my buck, just like a Major Corporations.
As it is now, I am forced to pay a Min Scale. This plan would put more in my pocket and more into the pockets of the Big Boys.
I am moving back to the border in a couple weeks.
I not only will restart a bus. there, I rented a couple buildings in Mexico and will open 2 Hamburger joints there. I will also, legally, purchase, name brand cigarettes and resell them through my Pay-Pal Account. Just checking to see how much shipping will be from Mexico.
Like I said before, if we're gonna' get Liberal, let's not do it half-a$$ed.

I am curious if you thought Obama was racist when you voted for him, Nogames? If you think his policies are racist is it a stretch to think you believe he is?

So should there be affirmative action groups for blonde women, or short men, or people with big ears, or body piercings?? When you have people, you will always have some type of discrimmination, or preferences...tell me how giving someone a job because they fit a particular gender or race group provides equal oppertunities for those more then able to perform the job, but don't get it because they were in the wrong category for that job??

Any system based on race or putting one race over another is by its nature, racist. Even if it is done for the best reasons.Hiring should be done based purely on ability, not to fit a particular race or gender category.

Nope and thats why we have affirmative action To gradually bring an end to discrimination in the workplace.
