No problemo! We’ll find another investment bank to spend our money with when we IPO.

Fiduciary responsibility is so over-rated. They have more important things to do.

How can one person be diverse? Do they have to be multiracial? Is a racial requirement even legal?

Shouldn’t they also be properly fighting Climate Change and funding abortion too, Goldman Suchs?

Goldman Suchs must be purely skin deep racists.

Hi....My name is Avery. I’m a female, black and I’m a lesbian. If that’s not good enough, I can go bi or even go for transvestite.

In the current climate, “Straight, White Male” would now be considered diverse.

This is how socialism works. Government and companies working together to tyrannize the people. What’s not passed in law is simply implemented through corporate policy.

Keeps the big boys on top and no one can climb upwards. Middle class disappears.

Yea, if there’s one thing International Bankers should do at this moment, its piss white people off even more. Worked out so well in the last 138 pograms.

The civil rights law allowed Goldman to join a country club

He is being reminded of that fact to insure he doesn’t get kicked out and have to play tennis on municipal courts

And when all the major investment banks go down the same path (and they will be pressured into it), then what?

Yep. That's the whole idea. A large middle class isn't compatible with socialist tyranny.

And the social order managers are entitled to more because they are the managers. If you go along with them, you might get more crumbs from their table and be appointed, say, a school teacher rather than a custodian.

Boards of directors usually have ten or more members. So at least one of them must be a Native American. Remember, being 1/1024 Native American is all you need.

This message was brought to you by Senator Elizabeth “Cherokee” Warren.

It's more accurate to call that "National Socialism", or Fascism, a partnership between the Elites of Big Government and Big Corporate to solidify their ability to rule.

That’s a real possibility. The Left plays the long game while we on the Right are happy with something like a temporary tax cut.

It’s been a cost of doing business for decades now. Big Law firms have to provide their diversity numbers to be considered by many of the larger, lucrative clients.

Diversity=non-white male.

An all black or all female or all gay board would not be challenged, but rather celebrated as progress. Come on, white guys. Stand up and kick some ass again. What the heck has happened?

Goldman Sachs is just a branch of the government now.
