    OF COURSE there are! That's why I said that you would - at least in certain circumstances - sacrifice in quality of a job candidate in order to achieve diversity targets, because in many circumstances the minority candidate would be the superior candidate. However, there will be obviously be times where the white person is the superior candidate, and in pursuit of fulfilling a diversity target, you would pick the minority person.

    And Biden hasn’t said “no whites”. So I’m certain when a candidate for a job is superior and also white, they will get the job.

    So now you define "qualifications" in terms of race. Why am I not surprised?

    The best way to say this was he planned on helping Small business owners.

    That's it! No reason to separate them by race or gender which is what keeps the divisiveness going. Just a president helping all small business owners PERIOD. Why is that so hard to understand?

    You’re clearly not approaching this conversation with any honest intent. See you around.

    Exactly putting race in there only divides us more. MLK was not about getting African Americans more he was about treating everyone the same regardless of color. Why do lefties always see color, it's the opposite of what the real movement leaders wanted. Why do white lefties single out African Americans? Oh yea that's right divide divide divide.

    As if using that word 'equal' changes the race-bias lens that Biden is looking through as a President? I sure wish Trump were given such leeway(hint: He wasn't). The focus on race by democrats(even linking it to the coronavirus) will lead to that resentment continuing to bubble up for a time but then they know that too, it's the only way to win elections. It's not like they actually have good ideas.

    Sure. The goal of equal representation doesn’t guarantee equal representation.

    Goals guide our actions. They’re something to strive for.

    You should find it intriguing that they banned TPUSA and WalkAway. Both of those campaigns were focused HEAVILY and nearly exclusively in wooing young minorities to the Republican Party. The Democrats will not tolerate that. They claim that Republicans are white supremacists and then ban them when they openly woo minority voters. The censorship is for the purposes of enforcing the white supremacist narrative. I can totally see that the censorship of black conservatives will be coming in the very near future. It should be readily apparent to most people that the Democrats want and need racial division for their own political power and now that they control everything they will work overtime to stoke those divisions. In the meantime, the class divisions will continue to grow.

    Biden to focus on Covid relief for small businesses in Wednesday speech

    As a 76 year old with 4 of the conditions that can be exacerbated by COVID I would settle for a vaccination. Doesn't look like that will happen any time soon. I can't even make an appointment.

    I think he does. Government, whose responsibility is to treat people equally, engage in "fairness" instead which is the opposite of equality. The term is pretty straightforward. It means everybody should be treated the same by government.

    Nice try. White BUSINESS OWNERS in the same or worse situation would also be included.

    Nothing against you, but this topic is growing quite tiresome. I think I’m going to take my leave. Catch you in another thread.

    Just admit that white men are excluded. It shouldn't be difficult!
