    Guess what, screaming racists, fascists at people you disagree with (a la Obama and his supporters) is playing the race card,
    mistreating people for being white or Christian or business owners or republicans or well off is systemic discrimination.
    The lame attempt to conflate the issues is noted.

    Gosh. Maybe someday a White Male Christian will break out of his oppression and make a few dollars in the business world. I know it's
    a long shot - but maybe ... just maybe.

    Jews have been oppressed, persecuted against and discriminated throughout their entire history. Jews has been extremely successful throughout their entire history.

    This bogus "if someone is successful, he/she can't possibly be the victim of discrimination" gibberish is absurd.

    Thank you. The last time I asked someone to spell out an acronym, they were very snarky about it.

    Great thread! Really showing the true colors of most liberal posters HATE for the white race on here. Lots of racist lefties on here that fly under the guise of "social justice warrior". Truly a sad group of people. Have no fear! Whites will tire of the accepted new norm of white bashing being perfectly OK. They are the majority race in the country after all. Keep pissing them off! I can't wait to see how this turns out for the minorities.

    Lots of very emotional "men". So funny to see....and a bit cringeworthy to be completely honest.

    No, it doesn’t say that.
    But I think anyone who can think logically understands that if the city is going through the formal minority certification process then those certificates will be used for something important.
    Don’t you think?

    I have, many times. You're welcome to view all of my posts, but I'm sick of repeating the same facts and adding the same links as proof. When the righties on this forum start proving their wild claims without having to be constantly asked to do so, maybe I'll revisit that notion.

    Well, not really. The certs may very well be used for something but you can't just claim they are used to go to front of the line for job bids without any actual proof.

    It doesn’t matter.
    The policy is nothing but a legal discrimination against white males. I linked to the city’s site to demonstrate how this is done out in the open.

    I know, now you will start laying out your talking points about unfair practices of the past, but in all reality you just support white males, who themselves never wronged anyone, being denied opportunities for no other reason but their race.
    Racism is a good word that describes such policies. ;)

    Wow, that's quite a chip on the shoulder.

    I don't hate any ethnic group. It sure sounds like you do, though.

    Please stop speaking for white people. I'm white, and your opinions are far from mine, and I suspect far from most white people's opinions. That was a nasty little rant, in my opinion.

    Jeez, I lived in this area for 10 years now and know how Chicago works.
    City of Chicago literally uses bidders race and gender to determine who and how much they’ll pay the contractor.
    So, yeah, if you are a white male who was born to immigrants who never enslaved anyone and had nothing to do with Jim Crow laws, you will be put at disadvantage for no other reason but your gender and race.

    CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR VETERAN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (VBE):
    This program discriminates against non-veterans. Does this upset you?

    BUSINESSES OWNED AND OPERATED BY PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ENHANCEMENT:
    This program discriminates against people with no disability. Does this upset you?

    MENTOR PROTEGE EXPANSION:
    This program discriminates against people whose business doesn't mentor anyone. Does this upset you?

    CITY-BASED LOCAL BID PREFERENCE EXPANSION:
    This program discriminates against businesses that don't employ city residents. Does this bother you?

    EX-OFFENDER APPRENTICE UTILIZATION FUTURE BID INCENTIVE ORDINANCE:
    This program discriminates against businesses that don't higher ex-offenders. Does this bother you?

    VETERAN-OWNED BID INCENTIVES:
    Another program that discriminates against businesses that aren't owned by veterans. Does this bother you?

    Why is it there are certain programs you're ok with and some you're not? Hmmmmmm

    Wah wah freakin' wah.

    FFS, white men have been ruling the world for thousands of years. They were the only people allowed to vote when our country was founded, and until recent decades, they were the only people elected to powerful positions in government or promoted to high ranks in the military and in corporate America. They've had preferential consideration in jobs, housing, education, and even medical care.

    Calm the eff down, scootch over, and let others take a stab at it. Y'all can always say "I told you so" if we fail.

    Really? You made the fifth post in this thread -- where you made you complaint about whining. I have reviewed your subsequent posts and have not seen any factual refutation of the OP. If I missed it, you have my apologies in advance. But if you could kindly direct me to the post in which you substantively refuted the claims made in the OP... as you claimed you have done. Thank you.

    They don't have any FACTUAL refutation. That's why @Daniel Light can only post memes in response. Do you really expect FACTS from the left? They don't really deal in factual information, just race baiting and lies.
