Apparently the state of Florida.

Despite (according to the FL Chamber if Commerce, CNN below), FL is now #1 in nation for black owned businesses, #2 for Hispanic owned businesses, and #3 for female owned, but the NAACP has issed a travel advisory for FL because the state of FL is racist something something…
“Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color.”

Yet the state of FL is so hostile to black people according to the NAACP, that the CEO of the NAACP lives in…..Florida! :lol:

Hmmm…I wonder if the Florida Chamber takes sides on this issue?

A quick search finds a Pew Poll showing FL is high but trails Maryland and Georgia. Most of the high ranking states are in the south.

And despite our low black population, WA ain’t far behind without imposing laws that threaten POC.

How would the Florida chamber fare with the other stats?

What laws does Florida have that threaten ‘POC’ that justify a travel advisory?

The Bellevue "Bike Karen" story falls apart. Shocker. But not a shocker to people who recognize that racism isn't hiding behind every bush in America.

Starbucks Fired Manager Because She Was White, Jury Awards Her $25 Million in Damages

……. The lawsuit concluded on Monday, five years after the high-profile arrests of two black men at the Starbucks store she managed in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia……

…… The lawsuit alleged that the company:

…..took steps to punish White employees who had not been involved in the arrests, but who worked in and around the city of Philadelphia, in an effort to convince the community that it had properly responded to the incident.

The lawsuit revealed that Phillips was instructed by the company to place a long-standing white male manager on administrative leave due to a race discrimination allegation. The accusation stemmed from complaints regarding wage disparities between non-white and white employees at the manager’s store. Phillips contested this decision, highlighting the manager’s lack of authority over wages and maintaining that she had never witnessed any discriminatory behavior from him. In contrast, Phillips pointed out that the black manager at the store where the arrests occurred faced no disciplinary action, despite one of their subordinates calling 911 after the two men refused to leave.

The two men involved in the incident reached a settlement with Starbucks, of which the details remain undisclosed. They also secured a symbolic $1 settlement from the city and a promise to establish a $200,000 program for young entrepreneurs. Nelson and Robinson believe that this resolution will contribute to the long-term change they hoped to see. No charges were filed after the arrests. The incident served as a major embarrassment for Starbucks, a company that has cultivated an image of progressive cultural virtue signaling…..

Apparently teacher exams in NYC. This is why NYC is going broke.
https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/nyc-bias- ... hers-rich/

I guesss the MCAT and state bar exams must be racist, too.

If they were hiring teachers based on a test that "did not assess general knowledge, teaching skills, or competency in content areas" or " predict competent job performance" and that whites had a pass rate of 90% while blacks/hispanics had a pass rate of 53/50% then NYC probably should be held accountable.

Do the MCAT and state bar exams not assess general knowledge, skills, or competency or predict competent job performance?

It was a STATE Basic Skills Test.

So a city that is financially strained, that’s hemorrhaging residents in part becauce of high taxes, should pay out 1.8 billion, 1/3 of which will go to trial attorneys? Who is suppose to pay for this? And these same city leaders who caved on this settlement will be the 1st to complain on how broke the city is, and that they need to raise taxes more and/or be bailed out by the state and/or fed.

Maybe the below will change with the recent SCOTUS decision..

This analysis showed that black and Latino examinees' mean MCAT scores are lower than white examinees', mirroring differences on other standardized admission tests and in the average undergraduate grades of medical school applicants.

It seems kind of goofy that the judge let the state off the hook if the test is biased.

Maybe fighting the suit would have cost the city even more money and they decided to cut their loses.

Did your ancestors speak up for blacks when only a tiny fraction were able to go to college much less apply for medical, law, etc. school? 200+ years of oppression and now we're butt hurt by attempts to give people opportunities that our ancestors got but denied to their ancestors. I don't like affirmative action and I think there's a better way to accomplish its goals but that doesn't mean they're not worthwhile goals.

How is test in math and English biased or racist? If a lower percent of black and brown than white and Asian pass doesn’t mean its racist. And apparently with the replacement test a lower percent of black and brown than white and Asian pass, but the discrepancy is only a little less..

The whites and Asians who didn’t pass and didn’t get any settlememt $$$ should file a class action for reverse discrimination.

I don’t need to to know thats what happenes whem you have lib donk attorneys, a lib donk judge(s), and lib donk city leaders. The taxpayers, in the largest municipal payout in the history of of the US, are an after thought..

Could you imagine if you were one of the ones who pased the test (white/Asian/black/Hispanic, doesn’t matter) and worked for 20 years, and people who failed the test was given for Free what you had to work 20 years for, in addition to being able to work another job. You would be furious. If you say you wouldn’t be, you be lying.

After all, being woke is trying hard not to be racist. So that means being woke is being racist.
