white, elitist liberals are full of hatred, bigotry, and think they are better than others. They have no tolerance, and yet have a tolerance sticker on their vehicle, while preaching diversity and tolerance.

So long as their kind can live in their elitist , white neighborhoods they will keep shouting their crap. Put them in a normal working class area, and these people will melt down.

American companies must be able to conduct business without diversity training and endless class action suites by minorities. More federal regulations that need to be scrapped for corporate success. They are fed victim BS their entire life, believe it and think winning a CAS is hitting the lottery

re: diversity training.

A friend, just retired, was told not to ever use the phrase “Flip Chart” in his briefings to a Fortune 100 board.

“Flip” might offend the Filipinos, of which there were none on the board.
