Chuck Schumer Desperate To Make Dem Hill Staff Less White
The Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | February 28, 2017 | Rachel Stoltzfoos

Minority groups have pressured Democrats on this matter for years with little results, and some are now threatening to cut off funds if they don’t see real progress, reports Politico Playbook. A 2015 report found 93 percent of Hill staffers are white, and only one top Democrat staffer was black, although about a quarter of the party’s vote comes from black people. Other studies show a similar disparity, to the consternation of these minority groups and lobbyists, who believe Hill staff should reflect the diversity of the population they represent.

Gee....I wonder what those diehard, hip White liberals will think about being fired in the name of Diversity? Will it wake them up?

Sucks to be them.

That was creepy. Some old, white guy no one has ever heard about sitting in the dark with some other white people who were sitting in the dark. Creepy creepy. They need to pay their light bill.

Even with the best picture screw-up, the Oscars excitement meter rating hovered somewhere between a high of paint drying and a low of grass growing… this was determined with less than 5-minutes viewing time.

Sacrifices on the altar of diversity. It’s what victim/identity politics demand of white people. Because somebody at some time, some place owned some slaves.

Look Dems. You believe in race and gender is a social construct that you can be whatever you say you are

So just have your white males reidentify as Gay or female or black or Hispanic or Asian or whatever your flavor chart demands

In fact Chucky Schumer why don’t you identify from the male to a female Muslim. You could be the first female Muslim member of Congress. You’d look good covering your face

Yes, but most Liberals imagine that espousing Liberal ideas insulates them from having to do atonement. It is always up to someone less enlightened to be sacrificed on the altar of Diversity—never them.

Perhaps they’ll nominate Al Sharpton as co-chair. That ought to do it.

Understand, but the overwhelming realization is that when it is one’s turn in the barrel, it sucks to be that one. :0)

The reality of Democrats in Congress, wearing white again and not hiring blacks staff members.

“translation: Less competent”

How do you get less competent with democrats? That is like taking the logrythm of zero.

Though in actuality, for once (with demonrats) it has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with greed.

Hey Chuckie. Whites are about 16% of the population world wide. There are over 200 countries most of which are less white. Name one less white country that less white people are desperate to immigrate to...name just one

He should just take a walk one night from the Capitol and go to the other side of the Anacostia and he’ll find all the help he needs.

I’m curious if the Republicans have more blacks on staff than Democrats.

“minority groups and lobbyists, who believe Hill staff should reflect the diversity of the population they represent.”

I agree. The Dims need to adopt the same quotas and affirmative action hires they’ve tired to push on the rest of us.
