If your name is too obviously "ethnic", your resumé gets tossed into the trash heap.
If you have dreadlocks & cornrows, those hairstyles aren't considered professional attire.
If you wear nose rings, your appearance is considered inappropriate for the workplace.
So how do you remedy these discriminations?
By doing the long slog of getting legislation passed in favor of those groups only to find it has no teeth...
OR
...Starting a business yourself that hires these very groups?
If your business is successful being composed of a bunch of "ethnic" named, dreadlock-wearing/cornrow-wearing, nose ring owners, then more businesses will start hiring these types of groups to stay competitive.
You will have effectively changed the culture & no longer will these artificial barriers be acceptable.
A business culture that says women have no place in executive positions?
Make a business that SPECIFICALLY has female executives & run the other one OUT of business.
These artificial rules are in place to keep certain groups of people out of the Command Center.
To keep them poorer & more powerless in society where they have limited influence on how society is shaped.
Instead of picking "acceptable" names, cutting your hair, & taking out your nose rings, change those phony rules with your OWN business.
Make those who live by those ridiculous tenets eat their words.
I'm starting to believe that EVERY change in America happened because some member of the business class decided things should be done differently.
The motive might have been greed but the effect still changed how things were done.
I'm starting to believe that the only reason women were encouraged to join the workforce is because some greedy businessman wanted 100% of population grinding in those workfields instead of 50%.
Corporations haven't just started to run this country.
Corporations have ALWAYS run this country!
The original U.S. flag was the same exact flag as the East India Company.
Looks like Britain's Business Class wanted to overthrow Britain's Royal Class.
Is that REALLY what the American Revolution was all about?
Merchants overthrowing the King so they can be their OWN Kings?
OK. If that's how the game works.
I'll just use my business to destroy your business.
I'll use my business to give other people control of the Command Center.
If the politicians are bought & sold, I'll just buy & sell 'em MY way.
The only reason the Civil Rights Movement got to shape people's views is because these media corporations wanted a juicy story for their headlines with the ratings & subscriptions that come with it.
"Get a shot of those cops spraying people with the hose! That'll make great ratings!"
It's all a game so just outplay 'em.
