Another case of the race card recklessly being pulled. If you took the two candidates and compared their resume's side by side it wouldn't even be a contest on who would get the job. But because Motley is black and Collins is white, the decision to hire Collins certainly must mean racism was involved.

What's interesting is no one lists a single qualification outside divesity. Comments like this ''We have a diverse city, but aside from a few token members, that diversity is not reflected among the chief decision-makers around town." Racism is being practiced here all right, by the NAACP and the black and hispanic lawmakers who suggest that someone be hired simply for the color of their skin. That is racism by definition.

SUMMARY: 91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of America’s own oil and gas. 86% of House Democrats have historically voted against.

Based on the article, agreed. The fact that Motley might have been qualified doesn't entitle him to the job over a MORE qualified applicant, unless there's a court order in place attempting to correct some sort of pervasive discrimination. That doesn't seem to be the case.
