Democrats Pay Black Staffers 30% Less

African-American staffers on Democratic campaigns were paid 70 cents for each dollar their white counterparts made. For Hispanic staffers in Democratic campaigns, the figure was 68 cents on the dollar.

Political operative Michael Gomez Daly worked on two congressional campaigns in 2012 with similar budgets. On one campaign, Daly, who describes himself as “a very light-skinned Hispanic,” was brought in as a field director, primarily for his skills as a Latino operative who could reach out to the Hispanic community. On the second campaign, where they did not know he was Hispanic, “I just came in as ‘Michael Daly,’ instead of ‘that Latino operative,’” he said. “Right off the bat they offered me twice the amount for the same job.”

These racists need to be picketed by Al, Jesse, and the gang. No justice, no peace!

So, they work cheaper.
Big deal.
Who is forcing them to take the jobs?

Losers. Once again they blame whitey. There is no hope for these morons...I can’t wait until all stupid people are replaced by robots. Which, is essentially, what these idiots are.

“There’s a presumption that white voters won’t like to see a black press secretary, or that white voters won’t want to see an African-American or Latino political director,” Simmons said.

Incidental to my travels I saw a couple of young, masked sh##heads at a busy corner in a nearby city tonight (I have a social life, imagine), pissing and moaning about how ones humanity isn’t based on skin color — but they wouldn’t bring up skin color if they really believed that. Racist Anonymous larvae.

Thanks grundle.
