    Several years back, Seattle banned criminal background checks on people prior to making a job offer. I think Michigan, or a city in Michigan, did the same years ago. They found that there was actually MORE "discrimination" against minorities who had no issues in their past because removing the ability to do the background check meant that recruiters paid closer attention to people's names. The implication being that DeSean would no longer even get a sniff at an interview. So, the law meant to help minorities actually ended up doing them even more harm.

    It’s the same here in Oregon. Also illegal for a property owner to do criminal checks for prospective renters.

    It would suck to live in an apartment or duplex now. You’d have no warning anymore to the pedo moving in next to you.

    In the same breath, IPhone users will soon have their photos scanned for signs of child abuse, pornography, etc. No opt out. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the cloud or in your phone. But I’m sure they will only be scanning for that.

    The guilty are innocent. And the innocent are suspects. 2021 man.

    What do people think they gain from diversity? Like why is it such a goal?

    Diversity Divides. Fuck Diversity.

    Unity is where it's at. Bring people together.

    Sorta like learned that in Kindergarten.

    The Throbber is totally fine with folks celebrating their heritage/tradition - Irish, you do you getting fucked up beyond belief at St. Paddy's. Buy me some Guiness. Natives, you want to play shitty no-defense basketball, let's run. Blacks folk - Kwanza/Juneteenth - cool. Pass me some ribs and shit.


    But there's that point in the Venn diagram where we're all Americans. If you want your xxxxx-American status to NOT intersect there, GET THE FUCK OUT.

    Otherwise, let's play some smear the queer in that area and celebrate the greatest goddamned country on the planet.
