We keep getting more and more proof that the Obama administration created a new policy that caused approximately 1,000 highly qualified air-traffic controller applicants to be rejected because they were white males.
Some of these applicants had gotten a college degree in air-traffic control.
Others had military flying experience.
All of them were highly qualified.
And they all got rejected because they were white males.
Liberals keep pretending that it never happened.
But it did happen.

Thank you for posting this.
Go after them. Outrage. Hypocrites. Scream about discrimination and then practice it FAR worse than anything they suffered. People who do that just for political power need to die.
Y’all haven’t figured it out yet have you?
That is what the modern Democrat party is all about
“Kill the white man”
That is their only party goal.
The most racist president ever.
Offer to hire them if they’re still qualified.
What proof do you need? Obama himself came out and stated the policy when he enacted it.
The vile SOB should be rotting in a cell At GITMO....
Does Obama have a Biden Golden Ticket?
