Discrimination Called Diversity as It Attacks Affirmative Action

First was the watering down accomplished by the corporate avoidance term "diversity."  Title VII and state regulations address the real crime, discrimination.  Diversity or not is a symptom or part of discrimination.  Diversity sounds more corporate, pleasant.  Changing the term from discrimination to diversity is a subtle but, strong distancing by employers from the real crime addressed in Title VII.

Dismantling Affirmative Action is part of the current era post reconstruction of the Civil Rights Movement of the 50's and 60's. 
It is undo the corrections implemented as a result of the movement.  Affirmative Action addressed the oppression of that times set-a-sides quota’s percentages.  At that time they were one hundred to zero percent.  Affirmative Action in its heydays percentages were no more than ninety six to four percent.  If the four percent is discriminatory towards the ninety six percent, then the ninety six percent is twenty four times more discriminatory towards the four percent.  The attacks on Affirmative Action and Voting Rights are for the strengthening of Jim Crow, which in truth has never left.

We are returning to the one hundred to zero percent quotas prior to Affirmative Action. Such return is very visible in the workplace today when it comes to African Americans.  The excuse that it is hard to find qualified African American candidates is widely used.  Yet there is never a question of finding qualified White candidates.  It is assumed they are qualified. This is an age-old stereotype.  African Americans are also kept out of the workplace by the use of the term diversity.  Other minorities, especially those not present during the movement are hired while there is a void of African Americans in the workplace.  There is a hiring of those from countries outside the US and of other brown people of the world. Yet with the use of the term diversity, there is assumed no discrimination. 

The quotas for the hiring African Americans have for the most part returned to zero in the workplace today.  It was done slowing beginning with the riddance of discrimination as we have sat back and let it happen. 1860’s fighting to end slavery, 1960’s fighting to end the economic slavery of poor job, 2060” fighting to end….To Be Continued.
