      From: Johnny@invalid.net              By Nikolas Lanum       Published February 13, 2023              This is a good example of a democrat keeping racism alive in this       country.              Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg focused on racial disparities       in construction during a Monday conference, claiming that construction       sites are not employing local workers in minority communities and       outsourcing to White people.              During the National Association of Counties Conference, Buttigieg urged       those in attendance to work with their contractors and community       colleges to build a workforce that reflects the community.              "We have heard way too many stories from generations past of       infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of       color, that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the       hard hats on that project, doing the good paying jobs, don't look like       they came from anywhere near the neighborhood," Buttigieg said.              Continued:              https://www.foxnews.com/media/buttigieg-white-construction-worke       s-taking-jobs-communities-color              He is speaking of generations ago, that problem was solved in the early       seventies when labor unions were required to take in as many new black       members as white members.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
