“...Bostic’s appointment “is an historic step forward that is long overdue. In its century of existence, the Fed’s ranks have lacked the kind of diversity — of race, gender, background and ideas — that reflects the wide spectrum of Americans’ experiences and economic realities.”

WTH does any of that have to do with his job?

What does being black and gay have to do with his job responsibilities?

Re: “Sex and race are of primary importance to the Democrats.”

I disagree.

The only important thing to Democrats is unconditional loyalty to their political agenda.

If you violate that loyalty, they will destroy you.

I do not really care what his color is, as long as he does a good job. He could be rooster dink pink for all I care.

If Trump picked him, I am sure he is highly competent and very skillful.

The fact that he happens to be a black American doesn’t matter m uch to mew one way or the other. What matters to me and millions of other Americans is that Bostick is a good American.

This guy has to have some connection to Soetoro/Reggie Love/Franklin Raines somewhere along the way.

Now why would you want to bring up a minor detail like that for someone who could submit a multi-page vita, where the first page was an 8” X 10” photo of him with his gay lover.

Democrats have a dream, that one day we’ll live in a nation where people will not be judged by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin.

Trump didn't pick him. Fed bank presidents are not presidential appointees.

He never has worked for a BANK.

He was an economist for the Atlanta Fed for five or six years.

the Fed's ranks have lacked the kind of diversity — of race, gender, background and ideas — that reflects the wide spectrum of Americans' experiences and economic realities.

Because we are never to assume anyone's background or experience or talents or attitudes or ideas might be different based on their race, except when we can assume that someone has a different background or experience or talents or attitudes or ideas based on their race. Ahem.
