Can the governor’s wife sit on the board at these companies?

That’s how Hillary Clinton got the gig at Walmart while Bill was still in Arkansas.

Race requirements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing new about that. I have dealt with it for years.

As a subcontractor on government construction projects I am often told how many of the right kind of minorities I must have on the job. Cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul have their own Department of Civil Rights and they can be real pain in the ash to a white business owner like me.

Will not withstand SCOTUS. It is clearly institutionalized racism. That is unconstitutional.

And there is precedent.

A reminder to never move to Ill Annoy.

When will you people learn? What's allowed to stand in one state will eventually spread to the other 49. Guaranteed.

I think Hubert Humphrey was the one who said if the 1964 civil rights act ever required a “quota” he would eat his hat. I guess he ate it a long time ago methaphorically.

Obviously the backers of that bill are a bunch of right wing homophobes, and need to be called out as such. And what about Muslims?

What percentage of African blood would the “African American” need to be the token?

What if you were black as the ace of spades, but were Jamaican or Haitian? They are not African Americans.

Well, aren’t they discriminating against the rest of the victims? I mean, why are they not demanding there be at least one lesbian, one gay, one transgender, one bi-sexual, one gender-queer, one illegal alien, etc., etc.?

I'm surprised they didn't require a liberal democrat.

Hitler allowed private companies to trade provided they carried out the diktats of the state, for the good of the state as defined by the state.

What Illinois has done is classical fascism.

Basically any company that locates to a bright blue state DESERVES whatever treatment it gets.

Hard to feel sorry for any victims, they could have listened to our side, rather than trust their Harvard MBAs when they said crap like “Don’t move to Texas, they’re just a bunch of gun-toting yahoos”.

They picked a side, and now they must PAY THE PRICE.

...and if any of you corporate execs are lurking here (maybe your loser brother or someone like him told you about this site), rest assured, THIS IS NOT THE END. Consider trusting us on this - we may well be deplorable, but we DO UNDERSTAND leftists, and we can PROMISE YOU that they will never, ever, stop. You need to GET OUT NOW, or soon they will trap you right where you are, as they’re now doing in NYC to restaurant owners, who need to reduce staffing because of the $15 minimum wage - they literally need to get their layoffs APPROVED by the city now.

Remember when whites bought and were sold into the idea that ‘race doesn’t matter’?

Valerie Jarrett must be ecstatic. More opportunities for big checks for doing nothing. She just made around $500 K on the Lyft IPO.

That law is wrong, illegal, and unconstitutional, and therefore invalid and not binding.

Guaranteed to move more corporations out of the hellhole named Illinois.
