Job Description NLR NORTH LITTLE ROCK CITY OF NORTH LITTLE ROCK www.northlittlerock.ar.gov HYDRO OPERATOR: $18-$24 HR DOQ CLOSE 7/24/09 Assist maint @ Murrary Hydro Plant. req. on website Applications obtained: HR Dept. 3rd floor, 120 Main St., NLR, AR 72114 As an equal employment opportunity employer, The City of North Little Rock is seeking qualified black and female applicants.
The fecal matter is about to hit the fan.
I think EVERYONE should simply lie about their race. If NO caucasian claimed to be one, it might bring the system down. Just one of my many ideas for civil disobedience that we should have implemented 8 months ago.
Obviously the thing to do is say you’re black on the employment application. I think it might be iffier to say you’re female if you’re not, but you could try it and then sue them for the whole transgender discrimination thing, or maybe both.
Everyone send this to drudge
Black? I thought they liked African American? Is them using the word black racist?
It would appear that blacks also cannot be guilty of voter intimidation!
Or hate crimes mind you.
I was white until 1973. I became “latino” (and have been ever since) when I a returning Vietnam Vet could not get classes at a local JC because minorities ... especially Vietnam refugees .. were given priority for and were filling the classes
Tagline change
>>>Black? I thought they liked African American? Is them using the word black racist?<<<
Black and African American seem to be used more or less interchangebly these days.
I think the reason the ad read “black” instead of “African American” is that “African AMERICAN” would “discriminate” against illegal aliens.
I’m a Human Resources guy for my day job, was on the employment side (penance for something I must have done to someone somewhere at some time) for several years.
It’s funny that freepers don’t get the intense cynicism behind this kind of ad. But if you’re not in the biz, I guess it’s easy to see this the way it is being seen on this thread.
We want your application (you A-A females) so we can report out that the pool of minimally qualified applicants matches the demographics of the area in which the job is located. It’s called keeping the fed off of your a$$.
Like many government programs, folks working in those areas become expert at appearing to be in compliance while continuing business as usual.
Or any crimes for that matter.
Like “liberal” and “progressive”,
and term applied to people of a certain ideology or culture
comes to actually mean what it is referring to,
and becomes viewed as a negative.
The people of that ideology or culture then consider the term pejorative, and demand to be referred to as something else.
I am in complete agreement with you. And we should have started doing this years ago. If they want to play the race card, we need to see them their race card and raise them another. We’re all discrimination victims now, so we might as well take advantage of it.
“OR...I can make them prove that I don’t have any “black” blood.”
Check the application and see if it says Black or African American. If it says African American apply for the job and use that designation.
When you get the interview and they say you aren’t black, tell them you were born in Kenya and as such fit the African American designation.
Sit back and watch HR’s heads explode.
I just got off the phone with The City Of North Little Rock Human Resources Department. According to the woman on the phone, they are required to use that exact wording in every ad they place. It is required under a consent decree between the DOJ and North Little Rock dating back to the mid 1980’s. When I asked her why it was worded that way(when often the wording is that they are encouraging minorities to apply,etc)..she said the exact wording came from this decree.
She was very nice and offered to send me a copy of the decree, but I told her not to bother. She said that the job was open to all applicants. However it is obvious which applicants will get the job if you ask me. This is our quota system in action. Reverse discrimination.
Exactly....SPHR here.....hated working for the “gov’t” even in private biz...so got out of it. They are reflecting what gov’t intervention causes....
So, the federal government is “decreeing” the wording of an employment ad for a CITY in the STATE of Arkansas...
Folks, this is symptomatic of the problem in this country.
The cry of “no taxation without representation” was not about taxes, it was about local control and self-governance.
“When in the course of human events” time.
The most important thing about any job is to make sure you get the most qualified man or woman for it regardless of race, color or creed. Naturally information on every single job application should be thoroughly checked out before any decision is made to ensure honesty, reliability and trustworthiness.
Freepers practicing reflex victomology, on MY FR?
It is more common than you think ;)
