If its the same number 3 it is totally irrelevant. DUCY?

Why?


Because though worded poorly, the examples make clear it is referring to rights granted to people based on their status as an employee, not rights otherwise granted to people who happen to be employees.



3 - exercised a right that the law gives to employees. Examples: (a) Filing a claim for worker compensation. (b) Filing a court complaint against the employer.

The law give anyone, including employees the right to vote.

One can not be fired for voting.

You may feel free to continue to show what an asshole you are.

I am enjoying it.

What they are designed to do is end one set of racist conditions. perhaps they are racist in their wording or their implementation.

I can live with it.



I have a question with the comment that has been highlighted.

Is this an admission that selective racism is OK?

You're kidding right? You might want to look up the definition of "baseless"

Just a hunch, but I think the civil jury might go a bit higher than that...

Not my fault you dont know how to read legalese. It is referring only to rights granted as a result of being an employee. period.

And your post is prima facie evidence of who the asshole is.

Of course it is. That is the only possible justification for what is discriminatory on its face.

Does it settle the fact we have a bunch of old white men screaming racism?

Because apparently white men have faced a lifetime of discrimination by the black oppressors.



You are aware that these "old white men" aren't going to change their collective, or individual minds simply because the government legislates it, right?

Most legislation that we presently have and the way it's written inspires resistance to the very subject matter its intended to address. No one, white, black or any pigment likes to be forced to accept anything.

You know what changes my mind about a man (gender neutral)? He does, his actions, ability and the legacy that he himself inspires. Kind of like Martain Luther King Junior said, judge a man on his character, not the color of his skin(paraphrased).

I don't know the answer for this racist thing for other men, I can only speak for myself. I work with any man or woman that can fit the bill. It's obvious that the present laws do as much to promote strife as they do to combat it. So we need to collectively put much more thought into the psychology of this issue, from all sides.

I suggest we work and consider other methods to inspire social balance, what I see now in society is the same thing I see on these boards with regard to the wingers, neither side is after a harmonious conclusion, they seek the upper hand or the ability to determine the social and power-broker answers that others must accept.

This can't be a political issue if we really want it to addressed at it's core, it has to be an issue of compassion and conscience on all sides; give and take must be experienced by all sides involved. Until then it's just an issue for the politicians to use in order to gain voter support. And considering it's a useful tool for them, do any of you really think they want to solve the problem?

Thanks for you answer Willbeurdaddy, but I would really like DG to answer for himself, if he would.

If you would fire someone or not hire them due to their political affiliations I have no doubt that you would discriminate based upon race.

What if they mentioned the NAACP? God forbid.


You are a hypocrite. Who obviously cannot stand to be around anyone that might possibly question your views....why else for the firing?

it makes you look rather weak and pathetic.
