#1 The post is all buzzwords, not worth my reading.
I got halfway, that's enough.

#2 RJ, the writings of Dr. Williams are almost always worth reading. If you read it and found that it seemed a waste of time you most likely read it wrong.

#3 OK, you decide.
"complete the in-person Equal Opportunity and Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policies and Procedures training."

while having high emotional value, are vacuous analytical concepts.

I'm guilty of gross violation of equality of opportunity, racism and possibly sexism. Back in 1960,

I discriminated against not only white, Indian, Asian, Mexican and handicapped women but men of any race.

That's where I quit.

#4 You quit just before the punchline.

#5 I thought it was a good article.

Discriminating is an act of personal choice. to make it against the law is an gross imposition on freedom.

I'm not surprised.

#7 You didn't get the fact that he's imitating their rhetoric and throwing it back into their faces.

#8 I think comrade RJ needs a few sessions of self criticism.

#9 Maybe Comrade RJ needs some diversity training. If he's smart he'll catch on to the fact that if you want to pass the test you have to give all the wrong answers.

#10 That's where I quit.

It seems your reading comprehension is...challenged.

#11 RedNeck Jim. Have you noticed he was speaking about "marital contacts"? In other words he found Black women more attractive and defintely didn't want to have sex with men.

#12 Oh I comprehend just fine.
Bullshit is Bullshit regardless of the people who loudly declare that it's Equine Manure and it's GOOD to losten to.

I'm told "You might learn something", Yup I learned.

NOT to listen to other people.
KEEP my own council.
DON'T listen to all the "Other" People.

Oh I learned.

I'll decide what's shit myself, don't need your help.

#13 It's not Redneck Jim's style of joke. We don't all have the same sense of humour, which is no doubt just as well. After all, I think it's hilarious that fish knives are sterling silver; this seems to puzzle most people, including Mr. Wife.

#14 You quit just before the punchline.

Yeah, what he said. But I can sympathize with RJ.

It is a subtle joke if you are not familiar with the nonsense coming out of our universities and corporate HR departments these days. Unlike the people producing it, he knows bullshit when he sees it..

#15 RJ- Just curious, how familiar are you with Walter Williams and his other writings, which include several books and countless essays and columns? If not very, you may find his stuff worth your while (or not as the case may be).

#16 Western values are under ruthless attack by the academic elite on college campuses across America. They want to replace personal liberty with government control and replace equality before the law with entitlement. The multiculturalism and diversity agenda is a cancer on our society, and our tax dollars and charitable donations are supporting it.

Perhaps you need to read the entire article to understand that Walter Williams is citing examples of the hypocrisy of the political agenda enforced at George Mason University.

The article is Walter Williams push back and explanation why after 34 years of service he is refusing to submit to the requirement that he "complete the in-person Equal Opportunity and Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policies and Procedures training."
Which he calls a leftist agenda for indoctrination, thought control and free speech suppression.

It is generally a good idea to read the entire article before attempting to criticize the author.

#17 Junkiron, you have not been to the re-education camp yet, Walter Williams has been summoned to this loathsome affair and he knows it is odious to his senses.

#18 other women were harmed by having a reduced opportunity set

That's gold there.
