Black agenda

The black community's inability to get out of its own way is what makes it the black community. Until the black community starts focusing on the roots of its problems instead of pretending there is white boogeyman behind all its woes, it will remain the black community.
Racism is bad, public health crisis.
Also, here is a bunch of racially based agenda items.
Giving the poster's name and the scardies ITT, I'll definitely find an article somewhere on this.
"emphasizing diversity on corporate boards and increasing minority business participation in public contracts. "
We see this all the time in projects in Maryland. Minority participation requirements. I've witnessed first hand how costly and stupid these laws are. Many times we will ignore state projects in Maryland because of them, as they are sometime impossible to meet. Not only that, you're expected at bid time to prove the minority participation, which only compounds the difficulty in preparing those bids.
For example. A few years back we were going to bid on an additional to a school in Frederick. Smaller job, about $2.5 million, but it had a participation requirement that we found suspiciously high. So we didn't bid on it, but knew a number of firms that did. They threw out the lowest 2 bidders because neither of them hit the goal, and paid over $150,000 more on the contract to the third bidder because he did hit the goal. I remember thinking how many computers and text books $150,000 could buy minority communities in Maryland.
Not scared of the black community. I am grateful for it being so misguided. That is the bulk of an entire group of people consisting of tens of millions not competing with me or my family for jobs, status, etc., because they can't get out of their own way. Natural selection at work.
My brother lived in Baltimore during the riots a couple of years ago. A lot of the burned out businesses were owned by people of color. Most, if not all, had no ability to rebuild.
Why doesn't the owner' wife open an LLC, do the bidding and sub it to his company? that's what my clients do.
And then they blame redlining for people and companies not wanting to invest/rebuild in those areas that repeatedly get ravaged by criminals and "insurrectionists". Who in their right mind would want to invest money in those communities?
The requirements set forth in Maryland make it a difficult task. We're a woman owned business, we can't qualify for it in Maryland. President Obama couldn't have qualified for it.
Not to mention getting Contractor Licenses numbers under a new LLC.
Correct, and in practicality, what it really is, is a way to funnel Govt money to politically aligned stakeholders who in turn kick a percentage to the elected official in campaign money or just outright scams. In a city that is predominantly African American, this kind of grift is legendary.
And the cities never get any better. Brilliant. Why Trump pardoned any blacks is beyond belief. Never helps, they are just replaced with more lawless minorities.
When my wife was a Oil/Gas broker, she used to run contracts through LC Greenwood (ex Steeler) who set up a minority owned Oil/Gas business. He would take a couple pennies per MCF and did quite well for something that he knew nothing about.. Many of the larger industrial end users loved it as it took care of their minority purchasing in one transaction.
