A wise man once wrote ‘egalitarianism is a revolt against nature.’
Democrats now wish to push anti-white equity audits upon tech companies, because they dare employ too few non-whites (non-Asians) amidst those on payroll. You’d think this would be a statement about who is creating technological innovation amongst software companies, when a dearth of blacks and Hispanic employees are responsible for anything resembling pushing mankind into the future, but the opposite is in play.
Somehow, white people and merit in tech companies is now a crime, punishable by “racial equity audits.”[Democrats Push ‘Racial Equity Audits’ To Cement Control of Tech Companies: Audits call for abolition of standards of ‘merit‘, Washington Free Beacon, December 13, 2021]:
Democrats want to subject tech companies to mandatory “racial equity audits” conducted by their political allies, a move which could cement the party’s control of Silicon Valley.
A small group of organizations with close ties to Democratic politicians and progressive donors conducts the majority of these audits, which advocates say are needed to promote racial justice. But in practice, equity auditors often push companies to hire more left-wing activists and former Democratic party officials, often from the auditing organizations themselves. The audits also call for the abolition of standards of “merit” and the ability for a special executive to veto any company project.
Racial equity audits are the chief service offered by “diversity, equity, and inclusion” consultants, a cottage industry connected by a revolving door of Democratic staffers and funded by liberal donors. Equity auditors have made a killing from school districts that pay handsomely for consultants to revamp curricula, the Washington Free Beacon has reported. Now, racial equity auditors are setting their sights on corporate America.
Democratic officials have called for audits of major companies. One proposal from House Democrats would fine companies \$20,000 a day for not completing biennial, independent “racial equity audits.” In June, five Democratic senators called on Google parent company Alphabet to conduct an audit. The Democratic letter cited Color of Change, a left-wing nonprofit pushing for audits.
Last week, Color of Change president Rashad Robinson was invited to testify to Congress and called for “independent auditors” to vet new products from tech companies before they’re released. Robinson did not mention that the “independent auditors” are closely affiliated with Color of Change.
In that hearing, Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) said Alphabet should “work with civil rights groups who have developed a framework to guide tech companies on how to conduct racial equity audits.”
ORDER IT NOWBooker’s call appears to be a veiled reference to Color of Change, which released a “tech framework” explaining how companies should conduct audits. The framework calls for the destruction of an “objective definition of merit” in order to “attract Black talent.” It also requires that every tech company employ an executive with power to veto any product they believe has a disparate effect on black users. Among other powers, the executive should have “hiring and firing power, power over promotions, and power over the flow of people, product, and money.”
Color of Change also calls on tech companies to evaluate every employee in “anti-discrimination accountability systems” in performance reviews. According to Color of Change, tech companies should be required to avoid the use of any dataset that “is the product of real-world prejudice or further perpetuates discrimination,” a vague definition that could be used to shut down almost any machine-learning research.
Beyond “hiring underrepresented groups,” says Color of Change, organizations need to increase the “awareness” of all employees through “comprehensive racial justice trainings and initiatives.” These trainings from outside groups will create “a critical mass of employees that are aware of the origins and effects of white supremacy and anti-Blackness across all vertical and horizontal work streams.”
Color of Change has already succeeded in using racial equity audits to shape big tech policy. In 2018, it successfully pushed Facebook into completing an audit that called for more restrictions on Trump’s posts. Color of Change itself pushed for Trump to be permanently banned from the platform. After the audit was released, Facebook hired an Obama administration Justice Department official to lead the company’s civil rights strategy.
The audits fit within a broader push from Biden administration officials to promote racial justice goals in government policy. The Securities and Exchange Commission is pushing companies to include audit proposals from shareholders in their proxy statements. Federal Trade Commissioner Kelly Slaughter has argued her department has a mandate to tackle “structural and systemic racism.”
Democratic officials and lawmakers have close personal and professional relationships with activist auditors. Laura Murphy, who pioneered corporate racial equity audits, was invited to conduct her first audit in 2016 by Vanita Gupta, a close friend who now serves as associate attorney general.
Before joining the Biden Justice Department, Gupta led the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a nonprofit that has called for tech companies to “reduce online activities and disinformation” that harm minority groups. The conference commissioned a report by Murphy on “Key Elements of a Civil Rights Audit.” That report received input from powerful liberal groups, including the ACLU, Color of Change, Human Rights Campaign, NAACP, SEIU, and Voto Latino.
Color of Change is one of the most prominent members of Democracy Alliance, a network largely funded by Democratic megadonor George Soros. It also partners with two other Soros-funded groups, SOC Investment Group and the SEIU, to pressure public companies to comply with audits.
Galt’s Gulch was always a goofy Libertarian dream. When non-whites threaten to use the power of government to call for fines of \$20,000 a day on tech companies employing an insufficient amount of non-whites, you know the anti-white narrative is nearing an end.
It just requires enough white people daring to call out the anti-white narrative to stand and assert enough is enough. This day is far closer than most dare admit.
As it is, white individuals breathing is a collective revolt against the current year.

“Equity” doesn’t even work at the short handled hoe agricultural level.At a high tech company or even a factory,you have to work around “diversity” hires——sometimes literally. They are not just useless,they actively impede getting the job done.Affirmative Action is so damaging,it would be cheaper just to put all the blacks on welfare and be done with it.
All I can say is GOOD. In the corporate world, none deserve it more. The surveillance state will crash and burn wid da nigras in chage…
Abandon merit based hiring so blacks can compete. That right there says it all and it’s coming from the side that’s supposed to be promoting equality.
I’d say “what’s next?” but there isn’t anything more incriminating than that.
These companies need to tell these groups to fuck off and slam the door in their faces when they come knocking with their nonsense. Refuse to pay any fines, and welcome the outrage & boycotts, most of these tech companies aren’t going to lose much of anything, since they control the sites and servers the woke crowd uses to bitch & cry on daily.
Something I found at Fool Negro. I’ll try to fix the formatting and trim it slightly:
Just find enough Whites in the team who “identify as blacks” or males who “identify as females”, maybe for a fee.
Sorted!
Meanwhile the cheap & cheerful book “How to be a Coder”, an introduction to programming in “Scratch” for kids, lists the following people as big influences:
– Ada Lovelace (dual page) & Charles Babbage (Charles was the brain, but ok)
– Alan Turing (dual page) (no mention of Church or Gödel; also needs Tommy Flowers)
– Katherine Johnson (dual page) (it’s there for diversity I suppose)
– Tim Berners-Lee (third of a page)
– Satoru Iwata (dual page) (that’s the heart of Nintendo, btw)
– Bill Gates (dual page), also described as philantropist. “No Luke, I AM your benefactor …. NOOOOOOOO!”
– Grace Hopper (small inset on debugging)
Richard Stallmann? John McCarthy? Robert Kowalski? Marvin Minsky? Daniel Hillis? Knuth? Wirth? Pearl? I dunno … Frederick Brooks? Steve Wozniak? Oh well.
Damn!
Languages:

– Ruby (Yukihiro Matsumoto) … better but still not good
– C++ (Bjarne Stroustrup) … complexityfest practical joke purposefully designed to make you suicidal
Not even LISP.
What’s going on out there?
There is absolutely nothing today standing in the way of anyone of any race to work in the science and technology industries who has the willingness and aptitude.
The imbeciles pushing this nonsense have absolutely no grasp of the complexity of the subject matter, nor do they have any grasp of the ramifications should racial quotas be imposed.
There are at least two ways this could play out.
1) Literally force every organizational unit from management down to the science and engineering teams, to reflect a racial quota. This would mean replacing whites and orientals who have demonstrable willingness and technological aptitudes with “colored” personnel with questionable qualifications. The immediate overall effect will be diminished management, research and product quality as management, research and product are only as good as the people who participate in it.
2) Simply hire additional “colored” personnel with questionable qualifications until each organization unit reflects the desired racial quota but without replacing those with the requisite willingness and aptitude. In this scenario, each organizational unit would then bloat with additional people who would receive the same pay and compensation, but who would not significantly contribute to the effort. In any group of people, it becomes quickly apparent who the performers are versus the non-performers. The immediate effect of this scenario will impact morale as those with the willingness and aptitude will naturally be doing all the work, all while being burdened with the impossible effort of having to somehow integrate the non-performers into the process. This will naturally create cynicism, division, friction and resentment in the organization and will negatively impact management, research and product quality.
I am seeing the second scenario as the more likely. In the first scenario, the compromise of quality would quickly lead to outright dysfunction and inability to compete. The second scenario would be more drawn out. An organization that retains its performers will continue to function for some time, but only has long as the impact to morale – caused by dividing teams into performers who do all the work and non-performers who will get the same pay – will cause it to collapse from within. The performers who are able will simply leave.
I think it will be cheaper for science and technology companies to just pay the fine.
All it takes is one “No”. One company, one CEO who publicly states that he runs a business to make money and will hire talent based solely on qualifications.
.
What kind of “any product” could that be?
In fact, the issue is just the reverse.
“Black users” have a “disparate effect” on the usage and results of usage of many products.
They use firearms and motor vehicles to murder people. They use cell phones to form flash mobs.
Blacks, at a stone age primitive level of evolution, should not be allowed to (mis)use any modern technology that they themselves collectively could never build or create.
All of this mandatory hiring and promoting of a certain ethnic group just reinforces the fact that the negro is incapable of achieving anything on their own. When threats by the government are needed to hire people it proves those forced employees are failures. It’s happened in the public sector where police officers and firefighters were hired and promoted for one reason, that they were that select class of negro or hispanic. Doing that lead to total incompetence at the highest levels of those agencies. The same will happen in the private sector.
Back during the Cold War, communists were supposedly always looking for ways to destroy America and the West. They were pushing drugs, pornography, atheism, sodomy on an innocent people. Who’s pushing this insanity now? Trotskyites? In NYC, the city council has just outlawed new buildings from using gas. The geniuses say they’re going to use “electricity”, completely oblivious to where electricity comes from, and its cost. It’s like they believe “electricity” is a natural occurring element in the air that is clean and good. The cost to heating and cooling a building in NYC will now become so high that there will be no more new construction. This should be the final cut to make the city bleed out.
Affirmative action has created entitled employers who are ignorant to the depths of their souls. I used to tell my bosses the Affirmative Action employees destroy morale so badly that to meet government requirements we should put them on the books, but pay them to stay home. That way the other workers do not know they are supporting the entitled, stupid masses. Black Privilege has run amok.
It was so kind of you to “unpack” that ambiguous propaganda. Before you explained, my eyes were glazing over, and I was starting to drool, as my head leaned to one side while reading all that “intellectually deep” philosophy of “Whiteness.”
🙂
I hear that the dot indians in silicon valley are lousy workers. incompetent.
and USA inports many of their ‘doctors.’
Just another race hustling grifter looking for free cash. I’d prefer the government worry about employees at government agencies and keep their dirty noses out of private businesses.
The US military now has a brief opening to save Taiwan by taking out the Chinese military while everyone in China is busy rolling around on the floor laughing.
It’s a little hard to employ the unemployable!
Never stop an enemy when he’s in the process of making a mistake. More .gov interference with their most faithful and FANGS handicapped and dysfunctional by diversity/ perversity. A rapper once said “paint the White House black”…hell paint all of tech black and let them simmer in their rich multicultural broth.
I’d imagine the products vetoed for disparate impact would be things like shot spotters, HD security cameras, biometric firearms, and paternity tests.
We need to stop letting people who have no clue how anything works dictate how we live our lives.
To paraphrase Professor Ignatiev:
“Make no mistake about it, we intend to keep drawing cartoons of the powerful jewish males, and the females too, until the crimethink construct known as ‘anti-semitism’ is destroyed – not ‘normalized’ but destroyed.”
Thanks, but credit goes to an anonymous poster. I should have linked the source.
Time to escape – get out while you still can.
And go where, exactly? The tentacles of the beast are everywhere, and they are spreading.
Strangely though, they only afflict white countries.
They have few chimps and apes as employees either. Must be systemic white privilege.
Is that why the big dogs hire street-shatners to be CEOs save for Apple’s iPoop-packer?
Augustus———-There were 7 black females that worked in my area of our manufacturing company.They would all disappear into the female bathroom,sometimes for over an hour.This was majorly pissing off several of the white guys who had to pick up the slack. I was overheard to state that the company should open up a McDonalds in that bathroom since the line ran better without them on it.About an hour later,i was ordered to report to HR. I was sent home on a 2 week unpaid suspension,and warned that any other incident was a firing offense.I took the family on a road trip vacation.When we returned home about a week later.The answering machine was totally full,and there were notes on the door.Plant production was at a standstill.There were only 2 of us who knew how to set up 2 of the machines———–and Ed was in the hospital for emergency surgery. I was paid,with expected overtime for the week that i “missed”.I also requested,and got, a major raise for me and Ed. HR was forced to trash the complaint.
Get out of Cities! That can be done and any White person not doing it will shortly pay a very high price…the clock is ticking.
That’s true, but blacks themselves don’t buy or use those products, especially paternity tests.
While such products may be used by others to the detriment of blacks, technically speaking blacks are not the “black users”.
An anti-establishment physicist, who lurks on a sister blog, likes to point out that this country is dominated by “verbalist parasites”, i.e. those who lack marketable, economically productive skills but are able to use hot-air and political influence in order to extract good money from the private sector.
So true.
It especially bugs me how the left-wing, but otherwise entrepreneurial firms either embrace the political policies wholeheartedly, or else choose to comply by taking the path of least resistance, e.g. humiliating their workers.
If Big Tech went broke it would be great! Unfortunately regardless of how many imbeciles are on their payrolls their crappy Tech platforms will get subsidized by US taxpayers with tens of billions as long as Big Tech stays woke and anti-christian.
That would be Brendan Eich, who also wrote the first browser (Netscape), founded Mozilla and wrote its browser (Firefox), and wrote the Brave browser, which I use and recommend. And, coming soon, Brave search, which, apart from the benefits of DuckDuckGo (no tracing, no censorship), but unlike DDG, will have its own internet indexes. Currently in Beta test.
Let’s go, Brendan!
You mean this guy….Upon retiring, Massachusetts College Professor and liberal Noel Ignatiev gave a ranting speech in which he lambasted white males as the cancer of the world:
“If you are a white male, you don’t deserve to live. You are a cancer, you’re a disease, white males have never contributed anything positive to the world! They only murder, exploit and oppress non-whites! At least a white woman can have sex with a black man and make a brown baby but what can a white male do? He’s good for nothing…..
Obviously, all whites need to be destroyed, but why not start with white males? If you are a thoughtful person, with a social consciousness who considers himself white, you will consider suicide.”
They use EBT cards to buy liquor, drugs, hair weaves, and any other illicit item you can think of.
Back in the day, Food Stamps were a means to help Americans who were down on their luck. Can you imagine what would happen back in the ’50s if a mom tried to pull a scam to buy liquor with her Food Stamps?
Watch as people begin storing propane tanks in the closets of their condos and co- ops as a back up. That will turn out well.

Wonder what their diversity is – % black employees and management, etc.? (((Suckerberg, Sandberg, and associates))) might benefit from a “racial equity audit”.
communism was started by what religious group?
sick n tired (((they))) know what they are doing.
wrt–We need to stop letting people who have no clue how anything works dictate how we live our lives.
they already abandoned merit based university admissions. I really want to know if my doctor or lawyer was an affirmative action hire. And that is a shame for POC with an IQ
Hopefully, blacks will fill up Google and Facebook and run them into the ground.
Another way we could do this is demand that blacks, women, and poc start building high tech inventions and companies at the same rate that whites do. They could also demand that they hire people of the opposite race (whites) in the same ration that whites hire others and that they begin to pay an equal share of the taxes. Just set quotas and arrest / fine those who don’t support equity.
Using electricity exclusively!?! ODL, have the people running NYC never learned from previous blackouts?
CA won’t be satisfied until the power is always off, and all the gas stations have shutdown (with their underground tanks dug up).
Could we at least get half of them digging holes that the other half fill in? At least it looks like they are earning the money.
We might just see Galt’s Gulch.
Truly, if enough whites said NO to almost anything — the machine stops. In 2020 they even had the revolution and whites just waited till it all blew over so they could get back to work. True white resistance would have been NOT going back to work till there was a nation-state they could be proud of and feel safe in.
Rand was right about one thing: History is made by those who say no. Whites are reaching the point where there’s no reason not to say it anymore.
Have them ‘staff’ fake server farms in the middle of nowhere.
Ignatiev never said that. The story of his “last lecture” is false. In fact, it was originally intended as satire. It was first published in the November 2013 issue of “Diversity Chronicle”—which included a disclaimer announcing that “the original content on this blog is largely satirical.”
Now, the sad irony here is that Ignatiev did say much the same thing; many times and in only slightly milder terms. He took pains to make clear his antipathy toward anything “white” and it’s not a great stretch to credit him for some of the “intellectual” underpinning of the anti-white racism now well on its way toward becoming the state religion in the ex-USA.
Somewhat ironic that a satirical effort ends up discrediting those who are only trying to bring attention to this person who was, after all, as vicious and virulent an anti-white hatemonger as we’ve ever seen.
Zero problem – do as with the mafia don´s dimwit nephew
(which of course they are): Create a job description for them where they can do the least amount of damage to the operation and the female staff (if any).
Where do you think all the Chief Diversity Officers ™ come from?
“Ignatiev was born Noel Saul Ignatin in Philadelphia, the son of Carrie, a homemaker, and Irv Ignatin, who delivered newspapers. His family’s original surname, Ignatiev, was changed to Ignatin and later back to the original spelling.[1] His family was Jewish. His grandparents were from Russia.[5] Ignatiev’s parents later ran a housewares store.[1] He attended the University of Pennsylvania, but dropped out after three years.”
The piece of crap later graduated from Harvard (like many other pieces of crap)
But, but…diversity is our greatest strength!
Back in the early 90s, Jessuh Jerkson went out and shook down corporate America, including some of the pioneering companies in the Silicon Valley.
The CEO of Cypress Semiconductors, T.J. Rodgers, basically told JJ to go fuh koff and bark at the moon.
After a little bit of knigbo woofing and posturing, Jackson quietly slunk away with nothing, saying that Rodgers was “mean”. LOL.
You come at these knigbos and hold firm and they don’t know what to do. LOL.
What will happen when the airlines implement the plan they announced to have 50% of cockpit crews look like America? Of course a Chip Smith has to be the pilot on every flight. The other would be LePilot. But don’t you need a competent co-pilot?
“The US military now has a brief opening to save Taiwan by taking out the Chinese military while everyone in China is busy rolling around on the floor laughing. ”
Great comment! This situation will hold true for the duration of the Biden administration.
Dindunuffins————…….but,but,but i am a White male taxpayer.What about all my black and brown dependents??? If i kill myself whose gonna buy the weaves and feed the “keeds”???
Large corporations can afford to fund the “affirmative action” and “racial equity” scams. All it takes is a couple smart white guys to “pick up the slack” and keep the business running.
The “affirmative action” hired negresses can do their faces and nails, brag about their BBC “conquests” and, in general, carry on as if they were “at the club“. The white employees will do the (real) work.
“Affirmative action” is actually a privatized form of welfare, not unlike the government jobs that are primarily staffed by negroes.
I remember when Hubert Humphrey, (a prominent negro-lover) when asked if “affirmative action” would ever result in quotas for businesses, stated that if “affirmative action” ever resulted in quotas, he would “eat his hat”.
Unfortunately, Humphrey is not around to fulfill his promise.
Poindexter there probably made a delicious meal…
They could count the dot-Indians as a separate group and they may find that they may have a different overly represented ethnic group.
At my final employer, dot-Indians (I didn’t identify the specific identity involved.) were 85% of the workforce in the work group. I pointed out that disparity in every annual “how are we doing” employee survey when asked about Diversity. The only response was to import some black women from other groups into a low level leadership position. The ladies would do their time, then as soon as it was possible, they jumped back to their old group.
You know the “its turtles all the way down” saying, at that employer it was dot-Indians all the way up to the white male CEO. Four levels, each one from the same ethnic group.
As long as they aren’t white, it’s okay.
What do you think of the dong covers?
Not covering up for the sake of modesty.
Add to that the fact that given a conflict between the Chinese and our woke military, the Chinese would not know whether to fight ‘em or date ‘em.
The main reason tech companies dont hire blacks and hispanics is that they need their high tech systems to actually work. Kunta might be good with jungle drums, but computers not so much.
JAMES CROW are a body of informal and formal institutionalized customs, conventions, rules , policies, etiquette and laws that enforce the suppression, stigmatization and replacement of people of European descent.
JAMES CROW represents the legitimization of Europhobia, especially its core dogma that people of European descent are morally inferior to people of Color.
EUROPHOBIA- the hostility, hatred, demonization,vilification, stigmatization and scapegoating of people of European descent, their history and their culture.
American Citizen——–Any CEO who publicly defies Federal Affirmative action will find himself,and his company fined,picketed,harassed,sued,and audited into bankruptcy. Don’t assume that we still live in a Republic.
