[Class316]

OH MY GOD!! This is incredible!! FINALLY someone with actual BALLS!!!! This is AWESOME!! YEEEEEESSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssss

The NAACP may soon boycott the nation's largest home improvement store. Home Depot is refusing to do business with the federal government, apparently to avoid complying with affirmative-action laws.

More info:

The notification has a section that says commercial credit-card customers will receive a notice with their June bill that purchases could not be made "that would cause the company to be covered by or responsible in any way for compliance with" three federal laws or executive orders:

_Executive Order 11246 of 1965, which bans discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

_Section 503 and Section 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires affirmative action and prohibits employment discrimination by federal government contractors and subcontractors.

_The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, which requires that anyone doing business worth $25,000 or more with the federal government must take affirmative action to hire and to promote qualified targeted veterans

Hmm..every home depot I've visisted always had a large mix of empoyees so I don't see what the problem is.

It's the simple fact that affirmative action is the government's way of forcing businesses to hire someone who belongs to a minority. That is racist right there. I can agree with Class on this one.

If Home Depot chooses to hire someone who belongs to a minority, fine. That's their business, not the government's.

I agree as well.
