Today’s blacklisted American: Hollywood’s new racist discrimination employment policies which blacklist whites
They’re coming for you next: According to a lawsuit filled by the non-profit legal firm First Liberty on behalf of James Harker, a white film electrician, the film industry has set up a racially segregated apprentice program that specifically excludes whites and is designed only for minorities.
When Harker complained about the bigoted nature of this program, he was then blacklisted, and has no longer been able to get any freelance jobs, despite 27 years of experience in the industry.
You can read the lawsuit here [pdf]. The program itself is called “Double the Line” (DTL). Its purpose is to force film companies to hire one minority to match every crew person it hires normally. That minority will be paid a full if not higher salary, regardless of his or her experience or training, and will later receive favored treatment in hiring, in order “to push forward a demographic shift,” as noted on the Equity and Inclusion website of the Association of Independent Producers (AICP), one of the defendents in this case.
In other words, the program specifically favors minorities in hiring and training, and specifically excludes whites because of their race.
The lawsuit was triggered when Harker discovered this program on a job. He had been hired by the film production company Something Ideal for a commercial being made for Meta (formerly Facebook). His position was bestboy, who works under the gaffer in the electrical department. In doing some paperwork as part of his job, he discovered the crew had two gaffers, one of whom was a minority hired under the DTL program that AICP runs with the support of Meta. She was being paid more than Harker, but had literally no experience, so little that she “was unable to even properly coil an electric extension cord, which is among the most basic skills of any motion picture electrian.”
After Harker complained about this to the production supervisor, he found he was no longer wanted as an electrician, and has since been blacklisted by AICP, Something Ideal, and Meta.
His lawsuit claims this program and the actions of these entities violates numerous federal and applicable state civil rights laws, and demands back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as a permanent injunction shutting down the “Double the Line” program as presently designed. It will either have to take everyone, no matter the race, or cease operating.
This program is clearly discriminatory based on race, so it is likely Harker will win in court. Whether that will stop Hollywood from creating new and similar programs, better disguised to keep others from discovering them, is less clear. I fully expect this very leftist industry to do whatever it can to maintain these bigoted policies, no matter what the law so clearly says. You see, their intentions are entirely good, it allows them to virtue signal, and it also oppresses unimportant whites in the lower job categories.
It’s a triple win! How can Hollywood’s Marxists resist?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Ha—who wants to watch any commercials these days on any platform? They’re all woke blasts of blather that I avoid anytime I’m on media. This guy after he collects his settlement and still wants to work needs to avoid Hollywood.
Hollywood used to be bigots against black people, now they‘re bigots against whites! The entire industry is full of socialist bigots, filled with evil thoughts. It would be nice if ALL electricians would join the writers strike & shut the whole place down!
When they talk about having fewer white faces in Hollywood writing rooms, what they really mean is fewer Jews. A bit ironic in terms of who invented Hollywood.
