That is such BS...corporations are just like schools ...they weight to minorities and women in hiring or their Human Resource Nazis will excoriate them and turn traitor and leave to be a professional testifier for the class action lawyer extortionist legions
I attended my oldest daughter’s graduation yesterday at a fairly conservative school here in Nashville ...David Lipscomb University..
A small school ...around 900 grads
The grads were around 25% black and other minorities...especially for grad teaching and social service degrees (yes they break it down beyond just BA and BBA and BS)..and Lipscomb is very expensive for a Southern school (30-40K full ride)...which told me a bit about who must pay full rides and who don’t...looked like a lot don’t pay full ticket...I felt a bit taken to be honest....we got zip anything..even though my daughter is half Brasilian and they advertise grants for latinos..her uber Saxon last name killed it
The crowd was decidedly lower to middle-middle class unlike say Ole Miss in the 70s when I went when the crowd would have been a bit more genteel and dressy...and subdued. There were a few Belle Meade-Brentwood types but not many.
Blacks are loud at graduations.. at least there they were.(and I mean Beatles at the airport 1964 loud)..and whites get louder as it goes on. Quite a change from the 70s when I matriculated...and applause was held till the end
One thing disturbed me was the race lecture we got at this as I said “conservative” school from the speaker..Michael F Adams..University of Georgia..
Do people never tire of trying to make whites act guilty and preen about how morally superior they are now?
Anyhow...it’s a new world.
And I don’t cotton to it much. You kids enjoy and don’t blame me. It’s been like sticking my thumb in the dike for 4 decades now.
One very funny thing did happen....an older lady got her Nursing degree and as she walked..a very loud.. very very Hillbilly twang voice rang form the rafters....shouting...”That’s My Wife Ya’ll”...the whole place broke up...even the chancellor and speaker were guffaawing..my Wife got teary....now that was a cool moment
btw...I hire blacks...can’t afford anymore employees right now...my black landscaper beat any Mexercan I’ve dealt with..fwiw
My heartiest congratualtions on your daughter’s graduation!
I know you are one very proud daddy!
I wish her all of the best in the future.
It appears she’s taking after her daddy in the success department.
I’m not surprised. ;o)
I'd have made a scene, shouted him down, yelled "bullshit" and "That's RACIST" if he'd been lecturing me on that topic. I don't take it like a good white victim anymore. You wanna lecture me? Prepare for feedback!
They might have needed to eject me, but I'm just not gonna sit there and take that bullshit ever again. It's SO OVER.
