Keeping Racism alive

Oh look, Obamas portrait artist is having a show in Brooklyn. https://patch.com/new-york/prospectheig ... n=7868215f

Oh look, see what Kehinda Wiley painted and is on display at the North Carolina Museum of Art

Its so hip. Its such a statement. Reminds me of https://www.tmz.com/2017/05/30/kathy-gr ... r-shields/

For the record Wiley is a fudge packer. He hangs with other packers. The wealthy deranged pay his freight. Some of them pack fudge as well.
The self loathing gravite to death like a fly to poop in the pasture. Their degeneracy is not limited internally. And only outwardly by the flow of money.

You know it's fact that deranged fools that say shit like "fudge packer" are secretly closeted gays. It's true. Embrace it man - go get your rainbow flag.

Kehinda's painting was so nice
until I looked again and saw
what she was grabbing in her
hand. Terrible.

It's considered "Art." And if we all didn't have to pay for it, they would actually be looking for a real job.

New MLB hiring practices.

By Brittany Ghiroli 4h ago 65
Major League Baseball has made modifications to the Selig Rule aimed at addressing internal club promotions, The Athletic has learned. The memo, sent to teams in October, was discussed as part of larger industry issues at the general managers meetings last week in Carlsbad, Calif.

The changes are effective immediately and are made to enhance diversity in future leadership of the sport. The modifications require several stipulations.

*Any club making an internal promotion for a senior baseball operations position must provide the Commissioner’s Office with a succession plan for all of the club’s senior baseball operations positions. That plan requires the club to include diverse individuals for future leadership positions.

*In the event of a non-diverse internal promotion, it’s the Commissioner’s expectation that a diverse individual will be promoted, or hired, to a vacancy created by the promotion.

*A club must provide the Commissioner’s Office with notice of the internal promotion and the rationale for not conducting an external or internal interview process.

The Rockies, for example, in promoting Bill Schmidt from interim to permanent GM, remained in compliance with the new modifications by filling his previous job with a person of color — Danny Montgomery, who was promoted to vice president and assistant GM of scouting.

The Selig Rule, created by former Commissioner Bud Selig in 1999, requires teams to consider minorities when filling vacancies for manager, general manager, assistant general manager, scouting director and minor league director. The thought process was that by forcing a more diverse picking pool, hiring numbers would improve. But from 2010-17, the number of minorities in control of a club’s baseball operations department increased only once.

In 2011, four general managers were diverse hires. Ten years later that number is still at four, with MLB clubs getting a 2021 racial hiring grade — done yearly by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) — for president of baseball ops/GMs of a C-minus, (13.3 percent). That’s the same grade as last year.

One of those four people of color who is a president of baseball operations or GM, White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams, revealed his disappointment with the league’s lack of progress in front office diversity in a story published by The Athletic on Monday morning.

MLB teams received a B+ for racial hiring for senior administration, professional administration, and team managers, but a C+ for vice presidents, a C- for general managers and a D+ for C-suite executives, which refers to executive-level managers, such as chief financial officers, chief operating officers, and chief information officers. Chief executive officers are included in the CEO/Presidents category, where MLB teams received an F, the same grade they were given in the owners category.

For gender hiring, MLB clubs also got an F for CEO/presidents, vice presidents and C-suite employees. According to Tides, there were 86 women holding team executive vice president, senior vice president and vice president positions on MLB teams, representing just 22 percent. (That figure is up from 17.2 in 2011.) Team gender hiring in senior administration — which includes directors, managers, asst. GMs, senior managers, general counsel, legal counsel, senior advisors, and assistant VPs — was graded as C-, with women in 28.5 percent of those positions, down 0.3 from 2020.

The new additions to the Selig Rule were made to help balance internal promotions and avoid forcing clubs to interview external, diverse candidates when they’ve already selected someone for the job. Many felt those “token interviews” undercut the original spirit of the Selig Rule. By stipulating that clubs must explain internal promotions, fill diversely and provide a specific, diverse roadmap for the future, it places the onus on clubs to have a sufficient number of diverse employees in its pipeline.

Michael Hill, senior vice president of baseball operations for MLB, has recently assumed oversight of baseball operations diversity functions, including the Diversity Pipeline Program. That program, headed up by Tyrone Brooks, was created to help to identify, develop, and grow the pool of qualified minority and female candidates for on-field and baseball operations positions.

This lunatic suggest that the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana need to change their names too. LOL

[Walla Walla Dawg II]

I'm surprised the State of Oklahoma hasn't been asked to change it's name.

What does word Oklahoma mean?
red people
Oklahoma is a Choctaw Indian word that means “red people.” It is derived from the words for people (okla) and red (humma).

BETTER YET, THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM NEEDS TO CHANGE IT'S NAME TO:
The Washington Oklahomans.

[ddraig]

I'm waiting for San Diego, San Francisco, San Antonio, Sacramento, El Paso, and Los Angeles to change their names due to cultural appropriation. Then there is Syracuse, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Squaw Valley, California.

Cori Bush took break from dancing outside the Capitol to make a unifying statement that should finally bring us all together:

U.S. Rep. Cori Bush (D-Uranus) has claimed on social media that white supremacists shot at protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, but the city's police chief said he was unaware of any such incident.

For the record, I consider the term "fudge-packer" to have more than one meaning. Although it is generally considered a derisive term, it also excludes certain others who are gainfully employed in the fudge-packing industry. It must be very painful for these victims to know they are the butt of so many coarse jokes.

It is yet another sad example of systemic fudge-packing in this country, which as we all know by now, is racially-based at its root cause.
