Advances pay equity to ensure that all public servants are fairly compensated for their work and their talents. Many workers continue to face racial and gender pay gaps, and pay inequity disproportionately affects women of color.


Is Biden suggesting that federal employees are paid different salaries based upon skin color, gender, etc...? What an idiot, this is not happening. Are black or female members of Congress paid less?
"Paid different salaries" we know that Hillary paid women less than men

Sounds like our TV commercials these days.

Don’t like Biden at all, but don’t like fake news even more

A federal judge said that NC Republicans in changing voting laws: ""… [W]ith race data in hand, the legislature amended the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by African Americans. As amended, the bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians were more likely to possess.”

The state offered little justification for the law, the court said. Those who defended the law said they were doing so to prevent voter fraud. “Although the new provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision, they constitute inapt remedies for the problems assertedly justifying them and, in fact, impose cures for problems that did not exist,” the court said."

Odd considering that the Dems did not support either of the Civil Rights Acts and is known to be historic fact and a matter of US Record.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! The divide was more north vs. south than Democrats vs. Republicans. The Republicans had a greater percentage voting for civil right because there were no southern Republicans in office. Then the racist segregationists (like Strom Thbrumond) left the Democratic party for the GOP.

Quick: Name me five conservative civil rights activists who were out on the picket lines in the sixties! I bet you can't.

Civil rights legislation was fostered by Democrats and Republican progressives. You can't change history to fit your political purposes today.

I can do one better. The President of the United States who signed the first Civil Rights Act in the 60's was none other than Dwight D Eisenhower, a Republican. The absolutely shocking thing was seeing asterisk President John F Kennedy actually build on that foundation. Nobody in a million years expected a Democrat to stand up to the Dixiecrats. That was the sort of thing that you'd expect of a Republican certainly, but most certainly not a Democrat.

The Civil Rights Movement already had the Republicans on board. The Republicans were on board since forever. It was the Democrats that were preventing the realization of equal rights. It is fair to say that the Republicans immediately after Ulysses S Grant caved in when the Democrats called them a bunch of meanies for cracking down on their abuses of blacks in the South. That was pretty cowardly. But it was the Democrats who actually carried out the abuse. But who freed the slaves to begin with? Who was pushing for equal rights after the Civil War? Republicans, not Democrats.

No they didn't. 21 Dixiecrat Senators and ONLY Thurmond switched. Dems controlled the Southern congress until the early 1990's. Wallace the bigot would have won the Dems nomination in 1972 but he got shot. He lost the popular vote by 2.5%

Republicans voted for all the Civil Rights Act in a higher percentage than the dems

Your post is a joke and you do not research one iota.

I think what you meant to say is CRT is a joke written by a bunch of clowns who think they are intelligent.
