      XPost: alt.politics.democrat, alt.politics.democrats.senate, alt.crime       XPost: alt.society.revolution       From: rmcboone@naacp.org              A leaked email from a member of President Barack Obama’s White       House transition team in 2008 reveals that if you’re white and       not disabled, you are not diverse enough for the Obama       administration.              The email released by WikiLeaks is from October 6, 2010 and is       sent from Michael Froman to Obama. Froman was then at Citigroup       and a member of Obama’s transition team. He has served as U.S       Trade Representative since 2013. The subject line of the email       was “Diversity.”              Froman wrote: “Barack — Following up on your conversations with       John over the weekend, attached are two documents: — A list of       African American, Latino and Asian American candidates, divided       between Cabinet/Deputy and Under/Assistant/Deputy Assistant       Secretary levels, as well as lists of senior Native Americans,       Arab/Muslim Americans and Disabled Americans. We have longer       lists, but these are candidates whose names have been       recommended by a number of sources for senior level jobs in a       potential Administration.”              The transition team member also wrote, “A list of women,       similarly divided between candidates for Cabinet/Deputy and       other senior level positions.”              The Daily Caller has previously reported on an exclusive       document provided by hacker Guccifer 2.0 which showed the Obama       transition team in October 2015 labeled political appointees by       race and gender.              Below is the key they would use. Missing are “white” and “male,”       which were clearly not prioritized by the Obama transition team.              Screenshot/ Guccifer 2.0 leak       http://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Screen-Shot-       2016-10-07-at-1.57.46-PM-1.png              http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/20/leaked-email-diversity-to-       obama-admin-means-no-whites/                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
