Voltaire Posted February 20 Posted February 20 So Washington DC is getting flooded with wastewater from a broken pipeline. Well that sucks. I wonder how that happened. One theory is that they fired everybody that knew how to make informed decisions about how to properly repair/install wastewater lines because they were the wrong skin color and replaced them with DEI hires. Here's DC Water's manager David Gaddis explaining the resume priorities he looks for when hiring top executives for his organization. https://x.com/i/status/2023982241768976615 1 Quote

How much of a head does a person have to be to make a story about a 60-year old pipe breaking into a hate-fest against black people? Quote

Its not a hatefest against black people. Competent black people are great. Its a hatefest against DEI. Quote

This post makes even less sense than the last one. I just pointed out that the DC Water manager who brags about hiring / firing people based on race rather than competence has had a major wastewater pipe break on him. Its been a longstanding problem and highlights why skin color should not be used in any hiring decision making. He hired for color rather than ability and it bit him in the ass. 1 Quote

He wasn’t in charge 60 years ago when they put in a pipe that failed before its time (and was scheduled to be replaced this summer anyway). That’s why this is so mind-blowingly stupid. The ASSUMPTION here is that black people are incompetent and that’s why this happened. Just like the dead Nazi Kirk said about black pilots. You tw4ts also didn’t even touch this story until Trump started attacking Wes Moore. Then all the right-wing media decided to make this about race for no reason. GTFO of my city with your anti-DEI nonsense. 1 Quote

No. I never implied that black people are incompetent, as there is plenty of evidence of fine ones everywhere, across most every field, doing admirable work. I do, absolutely, imply that DEI hires are incompetent. I'll have to see what Charlie Kirk said about black pilots, you probably misinterpreted that too having a track record of doing exactly that with this thread. Quote

Maybe to you, “DEI hires’ doesn’t seem racist. But it is. Notice it is NEVER used by fans of the term to describe a white man. And I guarantee you every single day there are many people hired specifically for their whiteness. For most of US history, being a white man was a prerequisite for just about everything. Quote

For most of our history, being a white man was a prerequisite for just about everything. Anyone getting hired for being white is also a form of DEI, but those numbers likely hoover around negligible. I presume there are groypers out there, running small businesses, where everyone 'happens to be' white. And then we bring up nonsense that hasn't been true for 60 years nor have the vast majority of us experienced in our lifetimes. Everything should be merit based and people treated based on who they are and how they behave. Competence can fall on any color. Similarly, there are a$$holes and and there are saints distributed in every racial group as well. Quote

That is 100% not racist and you have proven to be beyond hope of seeing it for some reason. When DC Water prioritized race over merit and competence, they put their whole community in jeopardy. Unfortunately not everyone in that community is a leftoid that doesn't mind that their local river is full of sh*t and ecoli 10000x safe limits if it promotes equity, but they got outvoted. Quote

When it is known that the standards have been lowered significantly for these people based on race or gender, and yet remain high for these other people based on race or gender, it is not racism to see someone from the first group and wonder if they are under-qualified or not.
