Generally....the most stupid thing that a small business can do....is simply hire someone for a responsible job involving money and the cash register....without checking the guy’s background. Course, no one in the EEOC has ever run a business...so they wouldn't understand that.

What it's really all about is driving any business that is not a member of the big-government/big-corporate criminal complex out of business, especially if that business provides employment to the welfare class, who should be collecting government checks so they are beholden to the feral government.

Crony-capitalists don't care if the pie gets smaller. They just want the whole pie.

It’s not. But we have to do it.

Just one more issue ripe for exploiting by the next Republican candidate for President. If we can find one with a spine.

There has been no republicans with a spine since they bred the boneless, all white meat chicken.

In looking for a job the past nine months I have applied to well over 100 financial institutions, and just about every one said I would have to agree to a background check in ordered to be considered for a job with them...

Is this a joke? What job doesn't include a criminal background check?

Some of their employees steal the merchandise.

What if “The Minority” applicants are not a true minority in the employer’s workforce, that location, that area?

Just wondering what a “bump” and a “BTTT” actually do? I’ve seen them used in threads, but forgot to ask the posters.

Wouldn’t a job requiring a high school diploma, or college degree, also tend to “disproportionally” discriminate against minorities, who receive those credentials at lower rates than whites?

Pray for America to Wake Up

There's no one left to pray. They have all quit believing.

I wonder why.....

"I think it’s much more racist to imply that African Americans are all criminals."

Yeah...I'm sure African-American Charleze Theron bristles at the implication that she's a criminal.

Oh wait...you meant blacks! My bad...must've misunderstood.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Praying might motivate some people to do something. Most prayer winds up waiting for God/Jesus to intervene. Those praying wind up waiting and waiting .....

Don't just pray.....do something.

Just hire white people, your odds of getting good non criminal workers are better.

I could apply to DG (49yrs in NYC Mad Ave & 22 yrs in my own Farm Business) and keep the criminal out. They won’t allow CCW here in PA, so it’s a moot point. I encouraged all my 604 employees over 22yrs, to legally carry.

Any other suggestions?
