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?
