 Senator Tells Mark Cuban 'Call Your Lawyer' After He Appears to Out Himself for Illegal Race-Based Hiring Practices
Story by Michael Schwarz • 1d


Smug wokeness -- but I repeat myself -- might have finally caught up to Mark Cuban.

Sunday on the social media platform X, the billionaire partial owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks pontificated about the advantages of considering race and gender as part of his hiring decisions, prompting a rebuke from a federal employment commissioner and a bit of advice from a United States senator.
 
I’ve never hired anyone based exclusively on race, gender, religion.

I only ever hire the person that will put my business in the best position to succeed.

And yes, race and gender can be part of the equation. I view diversity as a competitive advantage

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Words, just words.  The senator is as likely to actually do something as Santa delivering presents in a Tesla. *****rollingeyes*****

True, it's just words because there's nothing the Senator can do directly.   But, he can help raise the profile of what Cuban said so that private plaintiffs and lawyers will bring more lawsuits against Cuban.
