Racism at Department of Treasury

Racism and illegal personnel practices rife at a U.S. Treasury unit. Recently had an email go out from one executive at a non-treasury regulatory body get sent out to another half dozen regulatory agencies laying out the case in detail about illegal personnel practices by a deputy director of the Office of Financial Research. Now employees are so desperate they're willing to risk careers in hope of attracting someone's attention who can help. Watch the video, forward it widely and get it in front of those who can investigate and put a stop to this cr@p.

It's baffling, but thousands of previously easy-going, likeable, non-judgemental people, peers and workers became raging, racist assholes starting with the run-up to the 2008 Presidential Election.

I was pissed knowing that any of MY tax dollars were being used to finance and support a work environment in which I was not being treated fairly because of the color of my skin. I was doubly pissed because I was a veteran who, along with other veterans was willing to put my ass on the line to defend the status quo. I was triply pissed because I realized that my parents went through the same crap 50 years ago, paying tax dollars in to support the government of a nation that discriminated against them. FIFTY damn years and this country hasn't advanced worth a squat!

Instead of moving forward to solve today's problems, thanks to conservatives and republicans, we're re-litigating yesterday's solutions...
