For the Dec 6 blogger who said “it is a fact that african americans historically have lower credit scores”, I say shame on you. While I can appreciate the sentiment behind your comment, I encourage you to not paint everyone with the same brush. That would be stereotyping which is just as bad as discrimination, in my opinion.

I too enjoyed the overview of the various cases and conclude that obviously the enforcement of Discrimination Laws is a threat to America’s National Security.
The reality is, we must respect the fact that the largest and oldest institution in America is the “Institution of Racism”. Conscious has nothing to do with America’s Institution of Racism. Sadly, it is far bigger than the government, church, and American Family. America was founded on the principles of Racism and it is vital to it’s foundation of Freedom with the Democracy to hate and Kill in the spirit of Free Enterprise. All proud Americans must never forget the old proverb “If you live by the sword, you will die by the same sword”. I’m a Black and Proud American, a true veteran of the Civil Rights Movement who will never get caught up in the “Illusion of Inclusion”. In 2010 Jim Crow is alive and well in America, from the Out House to the White House and the many victims of Discrimination are hopeless.
God Bless all those who are Discriminated in America too!!

Thank you for your information/articles on descrimination.. Discrimination is alive and well. The biggest and most unreported type of discrimination is age, gender, and race discrimination. Each time a oerson applies for a job on the internet one category you have to fill out is your birth date. Although, illegal people are being sceened for age, race, gender and God knows what else before they get an opportunity to leveragee their skills and qualifications st an interview. It is sad but true. It will be denied. So, to level the playing field all of this iinformatoin should be removed from the internet application process and anyones ability to discriminate against anyone because of age race or gender.would be eliminated. On another note, Another discrimination tool that is being used is using credit score as a way to determine one’s credibility. Low credit scores are a sign of the times due to loss of emplpyment. And, it is a fact that african americans historically have loweer credit scores. This is just another tool for discrimination. Something needs to be done to commuicate that a low credit score does not necessarily determin a person’s credibility. The establishment has put very tool in the toolbox to find a way to discriminate against people . All, in the name of keeping people down, When will they understand “together we stand, divided we fall” as a country. It is in the best interest of all, the powerful and the powerless for a decent standard of liiving makes life better for all.

Just wondering if contracted or consulting workers who experience discrimination have a leg to stand on if let go for no reason, even though their supposed contract was not over?

Another great article for consideration. It is always sad when you find individuals who are punished through removal or harassment for doing the right thing and speaking up when they witness discrimation or unfair practice. Yes, there are those who try to take advantage of EEO claims to excuse bad behavior, but for the most part, there are many more cases that are certainly justified. Age, race, ethnicity… how many of us can say that we are not diverse or do not have diversity in our own families. What makes someone think that birth has made them better than someone else? It is time to stop the foolishness and just give everyone the same chance to contribute to being the shining stars that make our country great.

As I read these stories/cases my first impulse was “what the” And then I kind of laughed at the sheer stupidity and apparent lack of concern for individuals. I see that it is not only race or color but more and more age, mental and retaliation related incidents.

I think the current administration needs to provide oversight to EEOC complaints with the poor ecomomy, certain people think they should be the only ones working and create hostile enviroments for people of color especially and black women to be specfic.

I really enjoyed the brief overview of the different cases and rulings. I recently got let go and also felt it was retaliation for speaking up against unfair work policies as well as gender discrimination. However, I’m not really sure how to prove that..but I’m comforted that others are getting their just due through the EEOC.
