@bennyjohnson @cometaj2 People have forgotten that the key to success is providing everybody with equal opportunity. Critical Race Theory is itself racist because it looks for aspects of race to explain lack of success.

@SecretyStorms @Huw_Merlin @tanya_plibersek @UnitedVoiceECEC @UnitedVoiceOz I paid $2000 to three men to work on a roof for two hours removing asbestos. It’s basic supply and demand situation in a field where few people perform this service and few if any women would want this job.
