I had to file a DEI plan as part of my company's most recent GSA contract.  The EEOC is untouched.  The article conflated the role of the two organizations to make it boo scary.  The EEOC will continue to do racial investigations in the workplace. As you have said repeatedly, facts matter.

Btw..I tried to find info on the actual discrimination case.  Maybe it's just the world we live in but the BS alarms usually come out when a noose is involved ala Smullett, Bubba Wallace, and a number of lower profile cases where people were found to have planted the nooses themselves.

Well, in Bubba Wallace's case, the noose was found to have been left on the garage door (at the track, not his home) previously...but, no one noticed until then. As Bubba doesn't go to much trouble to scream about being the sole Black driver at the Cup level, I saw no reason to doubt the overall findings. Naturally, orange boi called him stupid and ignorant crap.

Again, on brand...and people think that level of petulance needed re-electing. Amazing.
Wait, we failed to protect our QB in big games, again? 

MAYBE THERE'S A LESSON HERE.

Really?  That's the part you respond to.  You made references to DOGE cutting an agency behind a discrimination suit at Tesla in two different threads.  You even posted the article...which actually disproved the point.  You're always the first to call out one of the other posters if they post and defend utter nonsense in the strongest terms.  Yet the same standard of truthfulness and accuracy doesn't apply to you?  It's not all that hard to do a "yea...I guess that was wrong...sorry..lol" instead of doubling down.

As I said above, the noose thing raises my bs alarms.  We've had a lot of noose incidents that turned out to be (k)not.  The mini nooses on the table...that turned out to be remnants of a fisherman practicing knot tying at lunch.  The noose found at a rally...that turned out to be...a rope (I guess you could characterize that a DUI noose).  The mini nooses hanging from trees that were left over from Christmas tree decorations, etc.  We also had reported nooses hanging that turned out to be hoaxes.  

The Bubba Wallace thing...should have been handled quietly and discreetly without the need to elevate first and ask questions later.  There were a lot of accusations before the noose was found to be just a door pull.  And btw...Wallace is kind of a dick regardless of his race.
