Agree with you. However, whether or not there was plantation agriculture is not a factor in what landform is there. No doubt the plantation agriculture was centered further south. I have driven the actual land literally hundreds (maybe thousands) of times. Starkville nor Columbus proper is technically IN the region either, but there is a pretty strong argument for them being Blackbelt towns. I almost posted the same link you did to make the opposite point. Maybe we are quibbling over nothing.
I actually ran into this claim when perusing my company's shareholders elections. Some group made the exact same claim, and wanted a review of DEI practices. So I did as you suggested and Googled it. Took 2 minutes to see that 90% of the 300k was Amazon fulfillment centers staffing up. Shouldn't be surprising, who was hiring in 2020? And if you know anything about Amazon fulfillment centers, these numbers are not surprising at all. Just more conservative puke funnel in action.
My experience is I grew up in Jackson, moved to the Coast much later.
They mathematically can't do that. Sure, some few firms can commit to overpaying to get the "right" racial mix in their work force, but that just leaves everybody else looking for qualified candidates in a tougher position.
DEI allows white women to be hired. White women win again. Just pointing out that even Charlemagne knows what the research shows. It's pretty clear that it doesn't work well.
Cool story bro, hahaha, yea DEI is just hires at Amazon call centers based on your private study.
I recommend that we inspire Hugh to post some images that reflect our appreciation of the vast diversity of hot American women.
Bro, it was YOUR "cool story". Amazon was listed as one of the companies in their study, and their hires account for 90% of the hires stated as studied in the study.
LOL, BLackrock, Statestreet and Vanguard, ever heard of them ? ESG scores for every publicly traded company ?
In the positions I am familiar with, they absolutely could do that. Sure, the lower end of firms may have to take lesser candidates, but they still would be better off than taking unqualified internal hires. Besides, moot point, because nobody is doing it. Every single form could do it today and not be inhibited by other firms because they aren't doing it. But none of them do. Sure, could lead to bidding wars and an undesired situation where DEI workers make way more in the same role, but again that's a moot point.
This is either incredibly unintentionally racist, or just mindless repetition of talking points without critical thinking. You are saying qualified DEI candidates don't exist.
So?
You are ignorant of ESG social credit scores and their DEI component, and the vast influence of black rock, state street and vanguard on all publicly traded corporate hiring and board appointments or you are just flat out lying.
Hahahah, yes ESG and DEI are conspiracies Larry Fink and black rocks 10 trillion dollars in holdings are imaginary. Thanks for your contribution.I'm not ignorant, I just don't see the (imaginary) connection that you are seeing.
Sigh. Its not EDG or DEI that are contrived, it's your conspiracies that they drive....something. that investor money goes slightly to things investors are interested in investing in to maximize their gains? Whatever.
Since I am clearly one, I'll reply.
blackrock cancelled the esg etf because it was a failure. blackrock can swing their big dck around ceos but retail usually knows better which is why they are full steam ahead with the btc etf
That’s not at all what I said. I said there aren’t enough to go around for all the companies to hit their DEI goals. So companies hire/promote less qualified and under qualified candidates. Even if they were just trying to have hires match the population, that would still result in a shortage of qualified DEI candidates compared to demand because there are a disproportionate number of would’ve DEI candidates that theoretically could have been qualified but were stuck in terrible school districts or didn’t get in a position for whatever job in question for another reason. But lots of companies aren’t just aiming for that, but implicitly or explicitly targeting a greater than proportional share.
I hope so, but as I said, in my small sampling of corporate America, they aren't.
if this were true, then wouldnt it show up in compensation data?
Hmm, what would be the reasons that there would be less DEI candidates than the demographics say should exist?
If you get granular enough, I suspect it would. But I don't know of anybody that gets data with that much specificity. You'd have to have candidate qualifications for the must part to tell how they are being paid compared to similarly qualified people.
I'm sure there are lots of plausible reasons, but I think the two obvious ones that most reasonable people would agree on is a greater proportion of minorities in ****** schools and broken homes. And you don't fix that by discriminating against whites and Asians in professional school and employment. Ignoring how crazy it is that people commonly accept that the way to "fix" past discrimination by whites against black people is to discriminate against Asians now, and ignoring that it's immoral to discriminate against anybody just because they share the same skin color as somebody that did something wrong, all discrimination does is just create more racial strife. It just fails all practical and moral tests.
Iowa is 90% white. If you are in a district with 32.6% white folks, you are in the unicorn district.
My kids arent enrolled into a unicorn district, they are enrolled into an urban district. Its really that simple.
Ha! Talk about a diverse town- that place is wild. The town square area around the County Courthouse is an odd mix of small farm town stores like a cafe, lawfirms, and hair salon that are intermixed with stuff like an Indian restaurant, Acai Bowl, Equine Massage School, Pho eatery, etc.
First, let me say I am not trying to offend anyone this is just one Devil's opinion. Mrs. Morningstar is from Iowa with her family residing in a little small town called Guthrie Center. I had to spend three weeks up there this summer. I already hated Iowa folks from the Outback Bowl we were cheated out of a few years ago down in Tampa, but being amongst the people was awful. I have traveled the country pretty extensively and I will just say the hard part out loud Iowa sucks. Especially when it comes to how they look at southerners. Thank dad Mrs. Morningstar spent more time in Mississippi than she did in Iowa growing up so I call her a day walker. I have never met or been around a more arrogant group of people that really have nothing to be arrogant about. All I heard the entire time, and this was from people not her family, was how bad Mississippi is or how we are a bunch of toothless rednecks. Had it not been for the fact that I was trying to be nice I would have loved to put some of those yankees in their places. They just thought it was ok to say anything about the South in my presence like I was suppose to agree with them. I think many of them were waiting on me to get out the beechnut, and tell them about how my cousin married my sister. It was like they are oblivious to that fact they were being a-holes, or just flat out did not have an issue insulting the South. I told my Mrs. Morningstar that would be my one, and only, trip to that ********.
First, I love your schtick…
Um ok
This doesn't seem remotely true. If, as you claim, DEI candidates are in such demand that there are bidding wars, shouldn't we see at least some fields where DEI compensation exceeds white male compensation?
So, basically, systemic racism?
you surely dont fix it by demanding a perfect solution.
this is an incessant rightie claim that the evidence doesnt actually support.
Wrong. If, as you claim to believe, the only reason DEI candidates are "lesser" candidates is because they endured ****** schools and homes.....then are they really lesser? Doesn't that mean they are at least equal, in innate ability anyway?
How were things a decade ago? Obama was president, he was a two-term president, and there was less racial resentment and animosity and a more positive view of race relations from most Americans.

The same people that hate "DEI" now hated things back then too. Benghazi, Lois Lerner, IRS bolos, it's the same crap from the same propaganda outlets, the names just change.
There's some overlap. There's also a lot of research showing it doesn't work and it's divisive. Kendi and DeAngelo have made a fortune dividing America. I wish all the white people who support these diversity initiatives, especially the superwealthy, would just resign, be the quit in equity, and ask to be replaced by a member of an underrepresented minority group. I wish the superwealthy who talk about the importance of diversity and even mention white privilege would calculate the value of their white privilege that they've earned over their lifetimes and give it away to poor people instead of bothering us with diversity initiatives that cause more division than unity.
