A former American Express executive has entered mediation with the financial services company over his federal complaint alleging he was fired for being White and opposing the firm’s diversity agenda. Brian Netzel, a 62-year-old former client manager in Arizona, filed the complaint late last month with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.(Snip)“On October 30, 2020 AmEx unceremoniously terminated my employment as part of a ‘diversity’ policy that rewarded company executives for making their departments less ‘white," his EEOC complaint states. “My termination was the direct result of me being an older white male, a demographic the company specifically sought to reduce in managerial positions like my own,

Comments:

The USA Politburo decreed that White people are despicable, and this joker has the nerve to complain about being fired for his crime when probably he should be sent to an internment camp.

"A former American Express executive has entered mediation with the financial services company over his federal complaint alleging he was fired for being White and opposing the firm’s diversity agenda." Shouldn't be any mediation, even though he probably agreed to such in writing. American Express violated that clause when they fired him. Hope he kicks ass and gets a piece of American Express to boot. People are damned tired of being run over by anyone and everyone.

Reverse the color and the black exec fired for being black would be collecting millions and supported by every journalist in the country. In the current state of back asswards affairs this guy may be out in the cold and penniless.

When will these idiot Fortune 500 companies realize that many of us want our preferred suppliers to be politically neutral? I am not using Chase, BofA, TD Bank, and other financial entities because of their political positions. I have been refused gun store purchases and luckily had enough cash in my wallet to make the purchases. Those cards are no longer in my wallet. My finances are only through institutions that are not politically motivated.

Long ago, I had an American Express card, company supplied for travel. I discovered that MC and Visa are accepted pretty much everywhere, even in small cities in Siberia. But I had to chuckle to myself when my AmEx card was looked at blankly and handed back in a Tomsk top end hotel. She had never seen one and asked if I had MasterCard or Visa, which I also carried, of course. I cancelled the AmEx card soon after, and had cancelled my personal AmEx card a decade or two earlier for horrible rates, high charges just for "the honor" of having a Gold AmEx. Sounds like it's still a terrible company, adding racist to the list of negatives about it.

Back in the mid 80’s I was living overseas and went through a two year battle with AmEx over a payment I made which they credited to another account. I could not get it cleared up until I came home. I cut up their card and sent it to them with a rather strongly worded letter and that was that.

what is the race and gender of the execs who terminated him? If they are white males why haven't they terminated themselves? No different than the hypocritic woke media talking heads like madcow, o'dumble, seltzer, copper, tubby.....who preach that others should kowtow to "equity" yet don't relenquish their exalted positions to a racial minority.

Thomas Jefferson is no longer in the room where it happens. Art handlers packed up an 884-pound statue of Jefferson in a wooden crate Monday after a mayoral commission voted to banish the likeness of the nation’s third president from City Hall where its resided for nearly two centuries—because he owned slaves. About a dozen workers with Marshall Fine Arts spent several hours carefully removing the painted plaster monument from its pedestal inside the City Council chambers and surrounding it with sections of foam and wooden boards. They then lowered the massive structure down the stairs leading to the building’s first-floor rotunda with a pulley system

President Biden on Monday will nominate Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for a second term. The decision, which was announced by Mr. Biden, ended a months-long guessing game about whether he would bow to pressure from his party’s progressive wing and replace Mr. Powell as the head of the nation’s most influential economic body. The president will also nominate Lael Brainard, who was the far-left’s pick to be the Fed’s next chairman, to serve as vice chair. Mr. Biden said he didn’t want to change course from the “remarkable progress” of the economic recovery in the last 10 months.

A New Jersey Starbucks employee who handled food tested positive for hepatitis A, prompting fears that “thousands” may have been exposed to the highly contagious liver disease. The incident occurred at the Starbucks outlet at 1490 Blackwood Clementon Road in Gloucester Township, where the food handler had reportedly worked multiple days this month while contagious. The department was notified of the infection on Nov. 17, whereupon they inspected and then subsequently shuttered the coffee shop—despite finding no evidence of food safety violations.(Snip)As a result, anyone who visited the location on Nov. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 or 13 is being urged to get the hepatitis A vaccine

The military’s system of implementing a COVID-19 vaccination order for all those in the ranks is facing unprecedented stress as a historic number of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines say their faith should allow them to skip getting the shot. The result so far has been a massive logistical headache for Pentagon leaders and an unenviable task for the chaplains who find themselves in the crosshairs. It’s a dilemma that shows no signs of easing as the services’ vaccine deadlines come and go. With the Defense Department mounting an aggressive push to get service members vaccinated and force out those who refuse, sources across military branches said the sheer volume

The U.S. Navy recently named USNS Harvey Milk after the ‘70s gay rights activist. Amid the current fetish of erasing heroes for blotches on their records, it begs the question: If we judge Washingtons and Jeffersons by their worst moments, why don’t we judge Mr. Milk by his? He destroyed the hero who saved a U.S. president. You may not know the name of left-wing radical Sara Jane Moore, but it would live in infamy alongside Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz and Oswald if not for the quick reflexes of PFC Oliver “Billy” Sipple. On September 22, 1975, he acted every would-be time traveler’s dream at a San Francisco hotel.

Whatever the jury decides, I’m afraid, will fail to address a damming question that the tragic incident symbolizes: How can Black people ever be secure in America? Executed by three strangers while jogging in a white neighborhood, Arbery’s killing reflects the mindset of domination in the culture of white supremacy: the belief that any random white person has the right to accost and detain a Black person with impunity.

The hypersonic glide vehicle - a spacecraft with the ability to carry a nuclear warhead - fired a missile mid-flight over the South China Sea, catching Pentagon scientists unawares.Experts at Darpa - the Pentagon's advanced research agency - are apparently still baffled at how China was able to defy the constraints of physics to fire a weapon from the vehicle travelling at hypersonic speed, the Financial Times reports.

The relationship between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their respective staffs has been on rocky ground for months. As RedState previously reported, the vice president and her camp have complained about being abandoned, even blaming racism as a possible factor, while the White House has fretted at Harris’ sheer incompetence and inability to garner support on her own. Those tensions have led to lots of speculation about what exactly happens in 2024. Harris is clearly a terrible candidate, something she showed during the 2020 presidential primary, but she’s also the heir apparent until Democrats forcibly remove her from that position.
