    Biden has named a historic all-female senior White House press staff, with Four of the seven appointees women of color.

    Its going to be some fun watching this circus develop.

    It's "colour" everywhere in the world, except one country.
    Don't become Americanised :)

    On topic (although this has nothing to do with BLM), I think it's posturing and pampering to the wokies - but it's not a big deal.

    Sanders is an outright racist, with not a hint of subtlety. Her previous statements also make her a hypocrite for serving a white person.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Some where saying this is historic because they are all female but Trump already had an all female team doing the same job so it is just a sad attempt to make Joe look like a progressive leftist when he is anything but.

    You sure about the all women thing...I've never seen a woman with a jaw like number 6, could just be a bad angle shot though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 472 ✭✭Kraftwerk


    According to his vice president he's a racist and a sex pest. So those women are either really lucky or really unlucky.

    It’s great that we’re at a point in history where we can eradicate one form of discrimination by swapping it out for another.

    Wha’? Like, it does seem a bit box-ticking but why will it be a circus?

    Trumpers triggered I see.

    A highly competent and experienced press team.

    The Trump administration would know nothing about that.

    Its just the beginning .
    The faces of the economic team President-elect Joe Biden unveiled publicly Tuesday included an African American woman, a man born in Nigeria, an Indian American woman and just one white man.

    The response from Asian American, Black and Latino Democrats: It's not enough !

    Again, why does that mean it will be a circus? What do you mean? I’m genuinely asking. Will they not do their jobs well?

    Do you have any evidence they are unqualified for their current roles?

    I do not believe these people were selected based on qualifications and experience.
    Its wokery identity politics, picking people because of their race and gender.

    Because its not gender diverse, a key attribute democrats have been preaching , just not practising

    It would be called sexist and proof of the patriarchy by a certain section of society.

    Sure maybe Joe is just trying to wind up the woman hating racists.

    Certainly seems to be working.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    The meta discussion is starting I see.
    Not a discussion of the topic but instead a discussion of the discussion.

    Also you got the word "racists" in there for no reason, well done.

    Out of 29 people named so far by Biden as part of his administration ,18 are female .
    11 of the 29 are people of colour.

    Non whites are disproportionally represented, only 13.5% of the US population is black.

    You're correct.

    Biden stated explicitly during the debates that he would only consider women when selecting a vice-president.

    He, his administration, and the movement behind them are explicitly misandrist.

    Every woman he appoints - whether the best candidate or not - bears the badge of tokenism.

    What are their qualifications? Are there any members that don’t have a PR or communications background?

    Kate Bedingfield, who served on the campaign as deputy campaign manager and communications director, will serve as White House communications director.
    Her deputy will be Pili Tobar, former press secretary for the immigrant rights group America’s Voice, who worked on the campaign as communications director for coalitions.

    Jen Psaki, who served as White House communications director during President Barack Obama’s administration, will become White House press secretary.

    Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as a Biden senior adviser before becoming the first Black chief of staff for a vice presidential nominee, will serve as principal deputy press secretary.

    Ashley Etienne, who was senior adviser for strategic planning, will serve as Harris’ communications director.

    Symone Sanders, who worked as senior adviser to Biden during the campaign, will serve as senior adviser and spokeswoman for Harris.

    Elizabeth Alexander, who served as Biden’s press secretary when he was vice president, will serve as communications director for incoming first lady Jill Biden.

    Genius idea. They can throw the vagina card out any time they **** up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,380 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    The problem with picking people based on arbitrary attributes like race/gender/sexual orientation instead of merit, is that your choices will never be good enough. There will always be lots of people complaining that they/their group are not being represented.

    "Oh you have 9 women, but no transwomen in your press team? How transphobic!"
    "Oh now you have 9 women and a transwoman, but no non-binary persons in your press team? How bigoted!"
    etc etc..

    You have started a thread lamenting the make up of Bidens administration but comparisons with the current administration is not up for debate? :pac:

    Fúcking hell, so I will take as you had no problem with Trumps "team"?

    Another related story in the news this week
    The Nasdaq stock exchange wants its listed companies to diversify their boards of directors — or explain why they can't.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nasdaq-corporate-board-diversity-rule/
    The second largest exchange in the world has asked the Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to impose a quota system on the boards of its listed companies. The new rule would mandate that corporate boards have a minimum of one woman director and one who is a minority or LGBTQ. Small companies and foreign companies could get by with two women. No mention of whether directors should know something about the business.

    Present some evidence that members of Trump's team were appointed solely because they were men, and someone might listen to you.

    Biden is on the record explicitly excluding the male half of the population from the vice-presidency.
