| CURRENT EVENTS The assassination attempt on Trump. #2.

[ElephantStomp]

Blacks are 20 percent of the Secret Service, so I agree that they are overrepresented compared to making up 12-13 percent of the population. Whites are 59 percent, just below their 61 percent national composition. Hispanics at 13 percent lag their 17 percent national composition. Asians/Native Americans balance it out for the most part.

So, tell us how hiring practices should change? Aim for fewer black, more hispanic, hold the line on whites? When you talk out of your ass you define yourself. You don't know, you just assume because of your echo chamber.

If USSS just hired the most competent applicants, race/sex be damned, would that be okay with you? If I had a protective detail, that's what I'd want.

Hire nothing but white folks you know because they make up a majority of the country’s population….better? Fuck man you people would argue with a stump if it didn’t walk in line with you

 

[ElephantStomp]

So race is more important than experience, ability or education?

Yes, that’s exactly what I said. Jesus hell man, there is minimum qualifications for the damn job, nowhere did I say “let’s forget the fucking minimum qualifications”

 

[ElephantStomp]

Striving for diversity is building incompetence into an organization. Hire the best for whatever job. When you push for diversity, hire for DEI it is actively seeking less than.

Not if everybody has the same damn qualifications it doesn’t do anything…..

@ElephantStomp

You say, "assume." And there are the facts, right there. You are judged based on what you write.

I don't know you?

It's like telling someone to read a book, and then telling them they don't know anything about the book after they read the book.

Do you realize you’re double counting? Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. You can be white and Hispanic (many Mexicans and Puerto Ricans) or black and Hispanic (many Cubans and from the Dominican Republic).

I agree with you that it should just be the best candidate, regardless of demographic.

Great then you now know why I consider you a righty, your book was on display for me to read, you know “judged on what you write”

Right after you change your name to “I’mARightyButLikeToPretendI’mInTheMiddle”

I understand the difference commonalities, but they are tracked to identify and measure goals in the black/white/Hispanic buckets.

So, we are back to your reading comprehension?

Interviewed hundreds over my career and I never found any 2 that were exactly equal in skills or experience. This is a weak argument at best.

Qualifications are equal. Didn’t say anything about skills or experience. The qualifications for each agent are the same

 

[Rsedge72]

Typical “lefties” assume that blacks and Hispanics are stupid.

You must really get off on being condescending

Never would have guessed that "being condescending" as being a "trigger" for you, TP.

Typical “lefties” assume that blacks and Hispanics are stupid.

Actually they assume that Hispanics are all brown skinned migrants primarily employed in construction or agriculture.

There is one thing you know. If you don't by now, you are a dumbass.

I am a smart ass. Sarcastic as often as possible.

You are self-admitted humanist. You believe in collectivism where the "machine" runs all.

While that doesn't move "my meter," in the least bit, it's worth noting one thing.

Anyone that disagrees with one subject is automatically a "righty." That's due to this feeling that "individualism" is always "right-wing."

I can throw barbs back and forth with you all day. All this goes to demonstrate how "un-serious" you take things around and this nation.

I’ve been called worse by much better people, so your thinking I’m a dumbass makes no never mind to me. Just like my thinking you’re a condescending prick makes no never mind to you.

No, you’re wrong. What makes you a righty is when you agree with 99% of what the fuck they do. This really isn’t hard to grasp, not sure what the problem you’re having with it. You said yourself about reading what people write and knowing them, so reading all the opinions you’ve given me about every damn subject has led me to this thought about you.

“Un-serious” that’s rich even for you. I don’t things serious because I disagree with you….got it.

 

[PurlJam]

Well, guess it's time for a new hire.
