The Obama Jobs Plan: Hire Black
Criminals
July 4,
2013
Hello,
I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Happy Fourth of July,
everyone. God bless America. The question is: Will there still be an
America, or capitalism, after President Barack Obama is through with
his second term?
It sure
doesn’t look good to me. We have no money for fireworks displays at
military bases across America and no money for patriotic fly-overs at
military academy graduation ceremonies. We are letting down our
heroes, the people who sacrifice selflessly for
us.
But
there was $100 million for Obama’s trip to visit Africa, and Obama has
now pledged $7 billion to double electricity access in Africa.
This has to be a comedy skit, right? This must be a nightmare. It
can’t be for real, right? Seven billion dollars for African
electricity, while he kills the coal industry so average, middle-class
Americans won’t be able to afford our own electric bills? What about
our $17 trillion debt in America, our trillion-dollar deficit, our
disgraceful failing public schools or our aging and decrepit
infrastructure?
And
Obama also has billions of dollars in aid as well as military aid for
the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the Palestinians? Even the
protesters in Tahir Square in Cairo are accusing Obama of propping up
the Muslim Brotherhood. Are you kidding me? Something is deep-down
deadly wrong, folks. This man is destroying our country and our
economy. He is killing the middle class. He is making a mockery of
American values across the globe.
But
don’t take my word for it. Let me give you perhaps the perfect
example. Everything I just mentioned is child’s play compared to
Obama’s newest directive. Now, Obama has truly gone off the deep end.
He’s thrown off his cloak to show the “S” on his chest, standing for
social justice. Obama has just decided to kick the U.S. economy
while it’s down.
What’s
Obama’s latest brainstorm? Force businesses to hire criminals — and
not just any criminals. Obama wants black criminals to step to the
front of the employment line. If only I were
joking.
Obama’s
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is charging the automaker BMW
and the national retailer Dollar General with racism, discrimination
and violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act for using criminal
background checks before hiring
employees.
How can
this be? Don’t companies have a right to check backgrounds before
hiring employees that represent them? Don’t companies have a right not
to hire convicted criminals? Not anymore. Not in Obama’s America. At
least, not if the criminal is black.
The
Obama government’s logic is frightening. The EEOC argues that because
blacks are more likely to have been convicted of a crime, doing a
criminal check discriminates against blacks. So when you won’t hire an
applicant because of his criminal record you are… wait for it… yes,
a racist.
Seriously, folks. This is happening in the
United States of America. If the courts hold for Obama, this will be
the final body blow to job creation, economic freedom and the U.S.
economy.
But
let’s set that aside for a moment and think what this does to your own
civil rights.
When
you hand your credit card to the clerk in a store, wouldn’t you like
to know he isn’t a convicted identity thief? When you walk into an
empty home for sale, wouldn’t you like to know if the realtor is a
murderer? When your wife goes for a massage, wouldn’t you like to know
the masseuse isn’t a convicted rapist? Or, worse yet, when your child
goes to school, child care or an after-school program, wouldn’t you
like to know the person you’re leaving your child with isn’t a
convicted predator, sexual abuser or pornographer? If Obama gets his
way, there will be no way of knowing, certainly not if the employee is
black.
Well,
according to the Obama Administration, if you ask those questions of a
black job applicant, you are a racist and committing a crime
yourself.
How can
anyone run a business not knowing if the people he hires to deal with
customers might be convicted rapists, thieves or murderers? Employees
are the public face of your business. They represent your brand. They
are your thin blue line, your eyes, ears and face to your customers.
And don’t think you won’t be sued if one of your employees commits a
criminal act against one of your
customers.
How bad
can this get? Well, the EEOC not only wants to ban background checks
for black Americans, it wants the 70 black job applicants who BMW
refused to hire because of criminal records to now be hired and given
back pay and legal costs. On the other hand, the white applicants who
were rejected don’t have to be hired. Obama’s EEOC argues it’s fair to
do criminal background checks on
whites.
You
couldn’t make this up in a fictional novel without being laughed at.
You couldn’t put this in a “Saturday Night Live” skit. The critics
would call you ridiculous. Yet it’s happening in real life under
Obama.
So,
what choices does a businessman have if the Obama government wins its
case? First, companies will cut back hiring as much as possible. But
if you are a business owner in this hostile Obama workplace
environment, you’ve probably already done
that.
Second,
if you do start a new business, you’ll be looking at a business model
that require no employees or very few
employees.
Third,
you might decide to close your current business. It just isn’t worth
it under Obama to take big financial risks, when government makes it
this dangerous, difficult and
unappealing.
Fourth,
if you do need to hire employees, since you have to follow the law,
companies will find some unrelated reason not to hire the applicant on
whom they are legally unable to conduct a background check. Talk about
“unintended consequences.” Young black men, say goodbye to
jobs.
So who
here is destroying the U.S. economy and who here is the racist? Is it
the employer who is color blind and hires on ability and character
(after seeing the results of background checks) or Obama, whose
policies force employers to either stop hiring, slow hiring or hire as
few black applicants as possible?
Obama
proves every day that you can’t run an economy based on equality,
social justice and retribution.
Somewhere out there in cyberspace, some
liberal wacko extremist will accuse me of being a racist for daring to
talk about race. Just remember that all I’ve done here is describe
Obama’s jobs policy. These are all his words. He is suing
employers to stop background checks on one specific group: black
Americans. He is the one saying that blacks have much higher levels of
criminal records. He is the one demanding black criminals be hired. He
is the one saying in court filings that background checks on whites
are perfectly fine.
Oh, and
remember one other thing. The true definition of a racist is:
anyone who’s winning a debate with an Obama
supporter.
