City Council members are pushing to make companies disclose the gender and racial composition of executive staffers and directors to help give women- and minority-run businesses a leg up on municipal contracts.

What if the minority or female owned and operated businesses don’t meet the same standard in quality and workmanship of the male Christian Caucasian owned and operated business? Oh yeah, that doesn’t matter. Forgive me for using common sense..../s

I’d like to know how much Red Chinese and other Communists money has been given to many member of the New York City Council? Sources say that a lot of Red Chinese money has flowed through Chinatown to pro-Peking local politicians.
The same for DeBlasio’s campaign. The Sandinistas don’t forget their American supporters. It is a short walk from the UN to DeBlasio’s friends and offices.
Also there should be an investigation into the Marxist Working Families Party (ACORN affiliate with lots of reds involved).
Singing, “Having a Party”!
Government sanctioned racism against white men.
Don’t worry - they are smart enough to put their wives as CEO. Many times a minority wife too.
Although the liberals have a “one drop” rule for a minority (just like the Nazis blood laws). How are liberals gonna prove other wise?
And just wait until “gay” becomes an affirmative action check box. How are liberals gonna to prove other wise?
Well, they may just ask you to .... umm, never mind.
Coordinate a dinner reception?
Describe the color Teal?
Be able to put together a stylish evening wear collection from TJ Max?
For Pete's sake - say it man!
EVERYBODY is a DBE — Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.
California changed the law years ago to where the lowest bidder gets the contract, except whenever a DBE comes close to the lowest bidder. Then the DBE steals the bid from the truly lowest bidder.
Overnight, every Contractor who didn’t have a Hispanic surname or a handicapped placard put their company in a womans name. Now everybody is either a Minority Owned Business, a Woman Owned Business, or a Disabled Owned Business. Everybody. There are no healthy white male “owned” businesses bidding on contracts with the State of California anymore.
Oh, their white European guys. They just aren’t stupid so they file as minority, disabled or women owned businesses.
The idiocy of government.
Under no circumstance will decisions be based on ability!
Is it any wonder the city is sliding back to the 70’s?
Such regulations are ludicrous.
The DoD put out contracts requiring that preference be given by major contractors to female/minority owned vendors in the 1980s or early ‘90s, instead of vendors who had a proven track record. ....Many fly-by-night vendors applied with documents showing a female as the owner, although it was really a male who ran the show. ....Those vendors made money but the contractors suffered from low quality products, late deliveries, etc. .....Affirmative Action doesn’t work!
There is a big push by blacks to remove white women from “preferred” status; blacks complain they grow up with plenty of advantages so don’t deserve the freebies.
As long as affirmative action is the law of the land the beneficiaries don’t merit equal treatment by the unprotected groups (mainly white & Asian men). If the government says these preferred groups are mentally disabled/genetically inferior in some way, who am I to question that?
