The exchange operator filed a proposal with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday that would require listed companies to have at least one woman on their boards, in addition to a director who is a racial minority or one who self-identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. Companies that don’t meet the standard would be required to justify their decision to remain listed on Nasdaq.

So everyone has to be represented according to their representation of the population is there an upper limit on that too? Is BET going to have to hire a whole bunch of white folk?

Forgive me if you're already aware of this, but did you know Bob Johnson, founder of BET, sold out to Viacom in 2000? Yowzers, did that ever cause a ruckus in the hood! I used to know a white camera guy who worked at the D.C. location and he said there are more honkeys there than you would imagine. :lol:

That stand to reason. Somebody there has to know what they are doing.

Jinx, You know I had that typed, but edited it out just before I posted, right? :lol:
Affirmative action is another way of saying unqualified worker. Keep lowering the bar or standard until the incapable meet the hiring guidelines. That sort of hire seems to work in most businesses except the NHL. Otherwise you end up performing like olympic skier Adrian Soldano.

There are two life lessons I have learned and will never forget. Sonny Bono taught me all I need to know about skiing, and Christopher Reeve taught me all I need to know about horseback riding. 🏇

My boys were 18 months apart, 1 school grade.

Older kindergartener learned our phone # and address at school. The next year, boy 2 did not. When I asked the teacher why, she said because so many children couldn't learn them, so they did away with that lesson.

Yikes. I knew that, the alphabet, basic math before I got to kindergarten, as did most of my peers.

I am an old man. There wasn't a Kindergarten when I started school.
You started in the First Grade.
With a really sweet Nun in my case.
Now 3rd. grade was a nasty old nun who like to slap and pull hair.
I wasn't a well behaved little boy, My mother asked me why I ducked every time she moved her arm.
3rd Grade. that's where i learned to duck and got a crew cut.

I think there might have been Kindergarten when I was little through some of the local churches, but most kids my age didn't attend. That first week of full day 1st Grade was a complete shock.

That's nothing. I had a nun that had rosary beads make out of the knocked out teeth of the kids she cracked in the mouth. It took a few years but she finally got enough to make a full set. WWJD?
