Williams College (Massachusetts)

Our expectation is that the successful candidate will excel at working in a community that is broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. We are especially interested in individuals who have experience with diverse populations who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of athletic opportunities at Williams. Candidates from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Job Opening?

Assistant Coach of NORDIC SKIING.

You understand that nordic skiing is a TYPE of skiing that was developed in Scandinavia, right?  It doesn't mean skiing done exclusively by Nordic people.  And you don't have to be German to train German Shepherds.  Or Swedish to cook Swedish meatballs.  Or Finnish to sit in a sauna.  Or a French hairstylist to give someone a French Braid.  Surely this concept is not that difficult for you to grasp?
LOL
You never disappoint.
Neither do you. Bart gently pointed out the racist presumptions you made in finding standard HR EEO job posting buzzwords amusing when applied to a specific positkon. You, having no response, replied with deflection.

And now - Shep Smith will tell us how Trump DID almost force this man to bomb Democrats..

Fucking prick.
Well, he is a white Christian conservative, so he gets to be individually crazy rather than a symbol of a dangerous "belief matrix" we need to combat.

Never let it be said you would overlook any situation, however preposterous, to work “ racist” into a reply.

The democrats exploded Christine Blasey Ford’s bombshell (at the last minute) to drive a wedge between Republicans and female voters. It backfired. Trump gained 7 per cent in approval ratings and the “ Blue Wave” is but a ripple.


Now the democrats are silent ( scared shitless) on the impending “ caravan” of Honduran illegals which is , in reality, the Kavanaugh nomination all over again.

No wonder NEEDS ADJUSTMENT is awol.

Some adjustments on the relevant issues:

- Not sure what information you have that we don't, but most of us will know Nov 7 if its a wave or a ripple.  Point of fact, the same NPR/Marist polling that started the theory that the Democrats attempts to correctly show Kavanaugh's being unqualified for the SCOTUS backfired now shows Democrats back up to a +10 generic lead.
Nothing like missing the forest for the trees. But plow ahead, blithely.
Quote

- Not even Rasmussen is registering a 7 percent gain in Trump's approval ratings.  Post-Kavanaugh, or any other time.
The poll I referenced was Gallup. But I made a typo. The actual increase was 17 per cent.
Quote
- The Honduran members of the "caravan" are not "illegal" and won't even be so when they present themselves at the border in order to seek asylum.   That is, in fact, completely legal.  But your buy-in to the lies and deception related to the "caravan" is noted.


- Democrats are not silent on the "caravan" they see it as a non-event because it is being over-hyped by Trump and his lick-spittle GOP to scare supporters to the polls.  You know who will be silent about the "caravan?"  Trump and the GOP, post-election.  It will be dropped as an issue as quickly as the Ebola invaders was in 2014.
I bet you lose that bet if you make it.

In defense of Megyn Kelly...

There was nothing racist about Richard Pryor dressing Gene Wilder up as a black man in "Silver Streak." It was very funny. No one ever accused Gene Wilder of being racist. Richard Pryor even said that they would be okay as long as they did not run into any Muslims. So in some cases, white people dressing up as black people can be funny.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgAxvukW9dA

Damon Wayans could dress Jim Carrey up as a black man right now, and people would laugh, and they would never be called racist.

People need to lighten up. People need to stop being so militant. They want to ruin someone's entire life over anything that remotely resembles racism, and it is all baloney. People need to chill.

She should not have lost her job over this.

Salute,

Tony V.

Silver Streak was 40 years ago.

Funny as hell, though...

One of my favorite films is Young Frankenstein but I wouldn’t recommend my grandkids watch it because of the rape scene...

Remember the conspiracy theories after 9-11? The FBI, Mossad. The obvious choice now would be an unstable white supremacist. Giving the Donald his due, there does seem to be a sharp downturn from the almost daily jihadi bombathons and shootings under BHO.

No, you're in error.

Not that I had any plans of revisiting that conversational cul-de-sac, but that comment to Boz seems pretty enigmatic. 

I support,  as always, Redward,  your right to be individually crazy rather than symbolic of a dangerous belief matrix.
