You said it in your own words, possibly without even realizing it. Btw you still haven't addressed why business owner/manager Laquanda Jackson would rather hire Sara McKenzie rather than Shaneeka Jones.

Lol yeah right nice try. So your argument is that if person "A" purposely performs at less than their potential...that person "B" who does do what they are supposed to do and is successful has "privilege"? Are you serious? It's not privilege it's called earning what you have. There comes a point that you are what your record says you are.

Once again, you dodged the question. Why is it that even minority business owners seem to shy away from hiring other minorities? After all, aren't white people the only racists in this country? That's the only racism the media ever reports.

Maybe it is time for some soul searching instead of always trying to find someone else to blame when even people from your own community would rather hire an outsider.

Although something tells me that I could have Bill Gates business qualifications and if I started sending in resumes to various Cedar street businesses in Minneapolis that I might not be getting the deserved call back either.

If you read through it the disparity existed even in diverse neighborhoods.....which would imply even minority managers/owners prefer not to hire minorities all other things considered.....why is that? (I'll hang up and listen to your response).

I know I know.....rigged system....not rigged enough to prevent a person of color from getting free schooling solely due to their skin color, or by getting free schooling or even making millions of dollars playing a sport.......or singing.... acting..........or even starting up the right business.....but still rigged.

The most accurate thing you've said in awhile.....because the real privilege in this country is wealth privilege.....you got enough of it then white, black brown doesn't matter.

You just made the point for him. Ironic how this only because a huge deal once he became a R.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/man-charged-arson-connection-almeda-fire-southern-oregon/story%3fid=72960208 Whoa....this isn't helpful to the everything is Trump's fault kool-aid club. Antifa and it's supporters playbook is to wait for a protest/riot and then jump in to make it even worse. Looks like they are doing the same with the fires now.

My math is bad.....6% of an already small number is pretty small right?

Ahh yes, so Trump supporters = racist....BLM supporters that step over the line = they aren't with us.

You mean whatever doesn't fit the narrative. BLM has it made because the media has allowed them to only take ownership of "peaceful" protests. Anytime someone that is part of the movement does something stupid BLM is given a free pass simply by stating "they weren't with us". Meanwhile when a white person does something idiotic..................just another example of the ridiculous double standard that exists that the "narrative" refuses to acknowledge

Repeatedly touching kids in awkward and bordering on inappropriate affectionate manners while you are in a position of power is way different than sexual predators? You obviously aren't a prosecutor or criminal defense attorney.

At least those some people are all cool with us now since Obama apologized to them for being attacked.

Too bad there wasn't a water cannon there!

The Kentucky Derby on Saturday has the betting juices flowing. For this upcoming labor day weekend, will more black people be killed by white cops nationwide or will more black people be killed by other black people in Chicago alone?

That's a good start to the long weekend

The false negatives have the biggest error factor. If wearing a mask into a store and some (but not absolute) social distancing was the extent of it you wouldn't have the fight that you have now. I think most people can get on board with that even with the debate about how effective masks really are. Where the fight comes in is when an outdoor venue like the Grand Forks Speedway that can seat 5,000-6000 arbitrarily has their seating cut down from 3000 (half capacity) to 1500 because "not enough people were wearing masks" at an outdoor venue that was maybe 1/2 full. It's when instead of cutting down class sizes or spacing out the seats a bit....the class is cancelled all together. It's the hypocrisy of "protestors" being allowed to congregate in large numbers but churches and youth sports being banned from doing the same.

Yet another non answer.

You mean if you test positive there is a 60-70% chance you are actually positive? .....or if you text negative there is also a considerable chance you really aren't negative? If you want to participate in a war of attrition have at it, but for the vast majority of Americans it is unnecessary. Once again, what is acceptable? How long? With the understanding it will never disappear, 5 years from now if one kid gets Covid does his/her entire class lose 2 weeks of class/sports?

From the sound of it Oxbow has made educated decisions based on the information available and determined what is reasonable and isn't reasonable and chosen to live his life....so bad example there. He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming he does what he can to sanitize and wear the proper equipment at his job, but even so there is no way to eliminate the chance that he could pass something on to a patient. The fallacy of your testing argument is....I could be tested today at noon, catch Covid from the UPS driver handing me a package at 1pm....but my test results tomorrow would still come back negative. Too many people think that a negative test result somehow lasts until your next test, which it doesn't.

Surprise surprise, the media has been hesitant to report on this. Biden would drastically alter 401k plans because they are "unfair". https://www.rollcall.com/2020/08/24/biden-retirement-proposal-would-upend-traditional-401k-plans/

Which takes us back to the question that Redneck refuses to answer, what is acceptable? Because in your above scenario, if you are worried about your kid getting it and spreading it.....sign the kid up for online learning and don't let him/her participate in any extracurriculars....but don't dictate that same expectation on me. As for the husband at Simplot, double down on safety precautions and if you still don't feel adequately able to protect yourself then maybe a new job is needed. Even with everyone doing everything right, people will still get it in those situations so stop cancelling life in an effort to hit an unattainable (and constantly moving) goal.

#1 It's the personal responsibility of those that will come in contact with those that are vulnerable that can't protect themselves (like those in nursing homes). For those that aren't locked into a controlled setting, the personal responsibility falls onto the person that is vulnerable (but can make their own decisions to minimize their risk). #2 It was triggered by chicken littles like yourself that believe that just because you are too scared to partake in an activity that no one else should be able to either.
