Is Obama our savior, our Messiah? Or is it just an Obama cult?

[quote name='thrustbucket']They literally have to have a mountain of evidence to fire them, meanwhile they have to put up with poor performance.[/quote]

Wow thrustbucket, you really need to STFU because you have no idea what it takes to win a discrimination lawsuit do you?

Google or wiki "McDonnel Douglas burden shifting paradigm" and then come and tell me about this mountain of evidence. No offense, but it's obvious you don't know jack shit about employment disc.

[quote name='thrustbucket']The PC atmosphere and laws in this country do a lot more to sustain racial tension than fight it.[/quote]

Yeah, and so does the USSC with decisions like Brown v. Bd. of Educ or Plessy v. Ferguson. Yep, they do more to sustain racial tension than fight it. There wouldn't be any racial tension at all if we still had slavery or seperate but equal laws would there!?

[quote name='daroga']What will the black women do?![/quote]

Or the white male democrat!? These are actually very good questions, and the contituency that is most fought over.
 
[quote name='numbier_wun']Black people are going to vote for Obama just because he's black. Women are going to vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. Although both of them would make terrible presidents. I'm not a Hucklebee or a McCain supporter either, though. Stephen Colbert should be president.[/quote]

Talking generalities...

In the primaries, older women are skewing towards Hilary in honor of women's solidarity, etc, etc

Younger women are skewing towards Obama because they are won over by his message of hope and change.
 
For me, I have no party affiliation. I'm still torn between Obama and McCain, leaning more towards Obama. He's having a hometown meeting at the school right down the street from my house on Saturday, so I got tickets for that. If I like what I see/hear, he's getting my vote.

If he ends up losing the nom to Hilary, I'm voting the other way.
 
[quote name='thrustbucket']And yes, in two cases they were outright told by their employer that they feared consequences if they didn't go with the minority (one was a fire department).

I have had two bosses from two separate jobs privately complain to me how much they feared hiring women and minorities. Not because they were racist, but how if they end up sucking how nearly impossible it is to fire them without being sued. They literally have to have a mountain of evidence to fire them, meanwhile they have to put up with poor performance. However, they laughed about how easy it is to fire a white male - you really need no good reason.[/quote]

Have they been sued before?
 
Probably not, even if they were, I think about 90% of discrimination trials result in defense verdicts.

They require showing an intent to discriminate on the basis of a protected class, which is VERY tough to prove by a preponderance of the evidence unless you have something in writing saying "I (insert adverse employment action here) Jill because she was a (insert protected class here)."

Hardly ANYONE is stupid enough to make evidence of that shit.
