No, it isn't You've bizarrely misinterpreted a discussion of "What is a good reason to fire people" as a discussion of "Should bosses have the POWER to fire people" That power is and always has been near-absolute
And even more weirdly, mistaken a case of a system that is usually unjust for once responding to public pressure towards justice, for an instance of new injustice.
If a bigot loses a job, justice (ie lives of poor/marginalized) is unaffected. If public pressure promotes such actions, justice remains unaffected Given history & nature of US sys racism, if racial justice is seen as partisan, Dem > Rep, social justice is affected, negatively.
But "justice" apparently IS affected if a bigot KEEPS their job, right? YOU apparently think so, otherwise you wouldn't be burrowing so hard down this rabbit hole to nowhere. (this is also bullshit because the bigot losing the job would ease up on the marginalized AROUND them.)
Bipartisan, superficially race-neutral policies undergird systemic racism. Not the opinions/tweets of individuals You may have little regard for principles of free speech and due process. But the inevitable backlash to this liberal thoughtlessness will have you rethinking things
Um...getting rid of bigots in the workplace is not "superficial". It's actual concrete action. (Superficial race-neutral" politics would be praising themselves for diversity...while letting the bigotry continue unabated. Dude you can't even get your cliches right.)
Speaking of which if you're so "concerned" about the"the principals of free speech" in regards to "systematic racism" then maybe spend more time speaking out against this, then whether two-bit entertainers lose their jobs because of hateful shit they say.https://www.wonkette.com/state-lawmakers-out-to-cancel-culture-1619-project-in-schools …
The left historians who are critical of 1619 (James McPherson and others) are right in their criticisms of 1619. What's unique to 1619 isn't history, it's liberal identity politics ideology. I'm assuming however you insist there are only two sides to 1619?
In case you'd like to ride yourself of there-are-only-two-sides brain & learn what's wrong with 1619 from people who did the major work in contextualizing the centrality of slavery to american history:https://www.wsws.org/en/topics/event/1619 …
Get Fred Hampton's name out of your fucking handle
Christ you're the guy who tried to tell me LBJ was less racist than Joe Biden because the 1994 crime bill was the most racist thing that ever happened in history Who the fuck are you to tell me about American history
I cannot believe this guy is back arguing with you after you demolished him in that LBJ thread.
