How diverse is Clark's corporate history?

[Brian_Expat]

Looking at his lobbying firm Wesley K. Clark and Associates, I see -- nothing but white straight men in senior positions.

Looking at the Clark campaign organization in Little Rock, I see not a single homosexual.

Looking at the senior management at Acxiom, the homeland security firm he worked for, I see nine white directors, only one of which is a woman (and none of whom appear to be openly gay). The CEO is. . . a white (heterosexual) male.

Looking at Entrust, another company he helped manage, I see another white heterosexual male CEO, and a board of directors with only one Asian (and again, all male).

Using the Dean standard (lack of diversity indicates a series of major questions about leadership on diversity), what can we conclude from Clark's lack of interest in diversity at his companies?

1. How do you see a homosexual?

Please fill us in.

:toast:

6. Most gay people are out.

The only people who assume gays are closeted are people who aren't in tune with contemporary reality.

In addition, I read the executive bios, which mention wives and children. Duhhhhh. But nice try. :)

I guess you're conceding the points on racial and gender diversity, too. Thanks. :)

9. I am conceding

that this is drivel. Got anything better?

[Brian_Expat]

12. Good old fashioned double standards.

In Dean's case, it's a "serious question" and "makes him unfit."

In Clark's case, it's "no big deal" and "drivel."

Thanks for once again proving my point about double standards. :)

14. Show me where I am in the Dean threads.

C'mon. Show me

[Brian_Expat]

16. Thanks for conceding by changing the subject. :-) n/t

2. We can unambiguously conclude this:

7. How is that different from Dean? n/t

[NV1962]

11. Is it? Should it? Who cares? Simply don't bite... No substance to bite in.

3. Clearly your gaydar needs fixing

Actually, I know of a bunch of homosexuals on Clark's campaign in LR.

EDIT for a lame attempt at humor, appropriate to this very lame thread: There's a new movie out called _The Seventh Sense_. The most dramatic line: "I see GAY people!"

Heh.

[Brian_Expat]

5. Senior positions -- not assistants or volunteers. n/t

[tameszu]

8. I am definitely not going to throw out their personal lives on this board

(Too bad so few states have civil union laws)

But I know senior staffers who are gay.

[Brian_Expat]

13. Closet cases don't count, sorry. n/t

[tameszu]

18. They aren't closeted

Otherwise I wouldn't know. :eyes:

But I'm not sure if they want me to be spreading it around, just like I'm not sure if many het friends of mine would want me spreading around who they're sleeping with.

[Renew Deal]

10. I actually met

openly gay assistants and volunteers when I was campaigning in NH. I even slept in the same room with one. Clark wasn't there.

[Brian_Expat]

15. Assistants and volunteers aren't senior staff.

Dean had openly gay and minority assistants and volunteers as guv too, yet you're assailing him. Apply the same standards you're using with Clark to Dean.

[Renew Deal]

19. Once again

show me where I am assailing.

Also, you are the one that is interested in it. Here is what you do. Clark Clark HD in LR and ask. I am sure they will be happy to answer.

17. They don't count for Dean so they don't count for Clark

only the 6 uppermost people count. Are any of them gay or Jews?

[Brian_Expat]

20. I'll answer since others keep dodging this question

The answer is NO.

[tameszu]

21. What do you mean NO? You have no idea what you're talking about

Cris Hernandez (XO as SACEUR): Latino.

Eli Segal (campaign chair): Jewish

Jamal Simmons (traveling press sec'y): African American

Maya Israel (assc. dir. of communications): Jewish

Mickey Kantor (chairman of campaign steering committee): Jewish

I'm pretty sure that Dick Sklar (campaign COO) is also Jewish as well.

23. National Campaign Co-Chairs - Charles Rangel and Andrew Young n/t

[tameszu]

22. Yes--see above post for ethnic minorities
