Civil rights lawyers told The Daily Caller that President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign managers may have violated employment law by hiring an overwhelmingly white office staff for his campaign headquarters in Chicago.

Obama campaign office staff lacks racial diversity, may violate civil rights law - Yahoo! News

Huh? Now I'm really confused. This will throw both the cons AND the libs into a tizzy.

the accusation is based on a photo. Wow. Even if it's true, I never thought you'd favor quotos for minorities, learn something new everyday.

That skewed workforce is starkly visible in an April photo released by Obama’s Chicago office, which shows roughly 100 of the office’s staff.
Only two of the people in the photo, far in the back, are clearly African-American, far below their 13 percent of the national population, and their 33-percent representation in Chicago

Diversity for diversity's sake is the real crime.

Which president hired a black Secretary of State (twice)?

Hey, didn't his dad nominate a black Supreme Court Justice?

What party were they from?

Socialism is for the people, not the socialists.

The rules only apply to us.

The OP stated nothing which would indicate that they would favor quotos for minorities.

Obama is above the law. Laws are for little people.

Why wouldn't you just hire the right person for the job regardless of any other factors?

I am not for hiring people just so the group photo is colorful.
