Tolerance Is Not A Moral Precept.
This is a thorough once-over giving the lie to the "conservatives'" self-serving bullshit squealing that "Butbutbutbutbut if you don't tolerate my intolerance you're a hypocrite!" The short version, as put forth in the article, is this: tolerance is a peace treaty, not a suicide pact.
Put another way, it's social technology, just like laws. It allows us, in an ever-more-connected global society, to exist and function. Like a treaty it covers those, and only those, who are party to it.
This means that if you're a genocidal fucking psychopath then no, Virginia, we do not have to "tolerate" your unhinged ramblings. You are cancer in the body politic. You have gleefully ripped your human card to shreds and dropped the pieces in an incinerator, cackling like a hyena on PCP at how you have "owned the libs." You have placed yourselves outside the treaty. We are not obligated to put up with your shit.
tl;dr: if you can't behave like a civilized human being, don't be surprised when you get treated like a rabid animal. Read and be better, or don't, it's your choice, but don't bitch when you get your find-outs.

But how else can you account for Runaway NOT being hired for all those jobs, when obviously, being white, he was the best qualified? I fear you do not understand white privilege, and white fragility, adequately. Next!

Maybe he wasn't hired for those jobs because he's a dumbfuck screw up with an overbearing sense of entitlement? Could that possibly be the reason?
<sneer>Yeah, I'm sure that is what the little runaway would like us to believe, but it just isn't true.</sneer>
Oh, rest assured, many of us here on SN are very well acquainted with the little runaway's over-weaned sense of privilege and hair-trigger "white fragility".
Indeed!

Double speak notwithstanding, if the goals aren't met, the contractor won't get, or keep contracts. Hire a lawyer if you want to produce more and better doublespeak nonsense.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

Runaway Snowflake. Melting as his jerbs are taken away from him by blacks, and Hispanics, and women, and dogs, and robots, and incests.
