    Don't even start with that "shouldn't they just hire the most qualified person available for every position" BS. Women and people of color are available to fill EVERY "most qualified" staffing opportunity available. Period.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1069626517590876162 …

    To all potential 2020 presidential candidates. I am looking at who you hire early on. From campaign manager on down. If I don't see genuine diversity from Day 1, I'm going to let you know right now that I will be putting you on blast. Just know that now.

        This may be true but it's all up to the voters. I'll never vote for someone for any reason other than they're the most qualified to me. No matter what color they are.

        i think I see where you are going but threatening people unless they capitulate to identity politics isn't the only answer. AOC is kicking ass and taking names. She is the most qualified. She can hire whomever she wants without being bullied by anyone.

        of course you're right. We're talking about administrative positions- there plenty of smart ambitious people of any any gender/race to fill them up. Why not make sure to have a few more people from disadvantages communities who lack representation.

        So you are advocating only offering the jobs to minority candidates, then.

        They will hire people who will get them to tech executives and big donors point blank the winner is always the one with the bigger purse not the one with great moral values if it was the case Bernie would have been the democratic nominee

        If a candidate hires men who look like Shaun King, is that maintaining diversity?
