Not to get it started too early but I'm heading out for a few days to spend time with friends and family and none of that includes time for political discourse. So whatever you believe politically, whatever you rooted for, and despite how much of the next 5 days you spend on here arguing with others about the same things.... very genuinely- may you and your families have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving. Enjoy the football and food comas.

Ask a poor white kid from the trailer park about his white privilege. There are no jobs in those parts of the country. Meanwhile a person of color who lives in a big metro area can walk a quarter mile in any direction and gather 100s of applications. Many looking to hire a POC. Many of those businesses owned by a POC. You live in fantasy land. You are a thoroughbred progressive. The one thread I believe started by mooney had polling. Less blacks and latinos as a % think they are wronged compared to white liberals chanting those people are wronged. It says it all. You are white knighting. But hey dont listen to the very people you are pretending to try and help. That would be stupid.

When all the liberals went into hiding for days after they got their asses kicked and were getting a good cry in, I was thinking maybe they just left and I would be denied seeing the full on melt down on this site. Slowly but surely though, they have been coming through and now it's full meltdown mode+. Keep it coming ladies.

I can’t think of anyone that has been wrong more that you. These board owners must pay you to spam your Lib BS.

Agreed, that was some really simplified & silly math. Costs of shipping, labor and overhead don't change, not to mention that you just don't 2X wholesale to get retail. That was a weak part of the presentation but there was still enough good info in the video that I thought it was worth sharing.

I want DD to win the superbowl with the Vikes so John Mara will feel further humiliation. That’s where I’m at.

It's amusing to watch them. I mean, c'mon. You think this all happened NOW after the election because Biden? No way. This was the Trump effect, all day, every day. No way this "deal" gets done if this wasn't an election year.

Bucky.

Only one? Still hard to bench Monty - assuming he plays, I'd rank them: Monty Tracy Bucky Dowdle

You guys know he isn't president yet, right? And that Biden spearheaded negotiations?

I'll take it. Happy Thanksgiving!

Well said. Likewise. Good to remember that we are all Americans, and on the same side, even if we argue about everything. And since I am on call for the holiday and cannot attend my normal festivities as a result, I might very well be here on Thanksgiving, continuing to argue. Or I'll skip it and enjoy watching football in an empty, quiet house.

Speaking of Neckar, my brother got me a Nascar experience at any of the available tracks in the country. 8 minutes behind the wheel of of one of the cars! I've got to figure a race to see and a track I want to go to, I'm thinking of Homestead.

That was classic Obama politics -- "if they don't agree with me, they must not understand, so I need to educate them better." The Left will never learn...

Of course you do. You WANT to believe that is not what DEI is about. That may NOT be what DEI is about in the classroom setting but in the real world, trust me when I say, that is absolutely how it is applied. Especially to tech companies. I have mentioned this experience many times in the past. You want me to really blow your fuckingg mind? It was not just that she told me she was not hiring people that look like you. She pointed at her face, and pointed at her skin. Just to drive home the fact of what she was saying. Then I had to reject all the white male candidates that were good fits. So there was NO mistake as to what just happened. Is that graphic enough? Did she also need to call me a cracker asss cracker in order for you to believe (she did not but that would have at least made me laugh) Sue them? You think in the era of DEI/Metoo/Believeallwomen a straight white male is going to be able to win a lawsuit on something that comes down to he said/she said over a zoom call? I just sucked it up like a big boy and moved on to the next contract that turned out to be even more lucrative for me. You can believe what you want because it makes you feel better inside. Just know. You are wrong. I AM in the weeds and I am telling you the practical application of DEI ends up as a form of racisim that they are so comfortable with, saying something like that to me was not even viewed as out of the norm or even a problem. Just policy. It was not JUST them. It is usually not said in the same way I gave an example of. It is usually done like this. I submit people for the hiring manager to review and then they just reject all the white males. Then after that happens 2-3 times you just do not waste your time anymore trying to even submit them. THAT way they do not have to come right out and saaaaaay they are being racist. It is on YOU to make that assumption. Plausible deniability. Think I am full of shitt? Don't believe me? I encourage you to look into how DEI is used in practical application. I HOPE you look into it more. The more people that see this is BS the better. I hope you talk to some white male corporate recruiters and ask them to tell you the stories they have about DEI. How it is used. Because I 100 percent stand by what I have said. It was a lived experience. Not just something someone is making up for shitts and giggles to make you feel bad about DEI. DEI is racism rebranded under the cover of a cool little acronym. The shitt of it is that even if it is killed off NOW, it will creep back into society as soon as democrats regain power in 4-8 years. New name, same management. Something like EID. They will change it just enough to be different but not enough that people who are looking for it can't find it

Jesus Christ you're stupid, that's EXACTLY what DEI is about.

You have rich privilege, not white privilege, which has not existed for our entire lifetime. Its patently absurd to the rest of us. And your BS about a color blind merit based society.... you've abandoned that long ago. That's OUR North Star on race relations, our goal, not yours and never has been,

It’s really as simple as this. The majority of Americans despise it, and their voices vouldn’t have been any clearer in the recent election. DEI is DEAD. And America will be far better off without all that racist nonsense. Maybe we can now realize MLK’s dream - to judge people not by the color of their skin, but the content of their character.

Nope. It is my claim that there is inherent societal discrimination against minorities, and that programs like Affirmative Action and DEI fight back against it in a very small way. It doesn’t provide true equal opportunity but it helps a little.

DEI is just another name for affirmative action. And it’s not going away. It will be back because both companies and society in general like the look of a racially inclusive society. There’s backlash right now against the idea but that won’t last.

The same thing he just did. You don’t know why he invaded? Wow. Just wow. Ignorant.

I am not The fock they do.

Lock beat out DeVito in preseason and was/is ahead of him on the depth chart. Lock gets bonus money if he plays a certain number of games. Giants don't want to pay Lock so he's not starting. The Giants are cheap bastards and a horrible loser franchise.
