He Was FIRED For Being White, But He Turned The Tables HARD!
A former North Carolina hospital executive who claimed he was fired because he’s a White male was awarded $10 million in a reverse discrimination lawsuit Tuesday.
Novant Health wasn’t expecting their employee would fight back after firing him and replaced him with two women to “diversify” their positions. And it all happened just before his fifth year with the company.
David Duvall, a former top executive at North Carolina-based Novant Health, was awarded US$10 million on Tuesday by a federal jury after he filed a lawsuit claiming he lost his job because he’s a white man.
Just as Duvall was about to celebrate his fifth anniversary as the senior vice president of marketing and communication at Novant Health, he received the dreaded news that his services were no longer required.
In 2013, Duvall was appointed the senior vice president of marketing and communications at the nonprofit health company but was abruptly fired in 2018, reads his 2019 complaint.
His lawsuit accused the company of firing him in order to diversify the upper levels of leadership. The jury said Novant Health failed to prove that it would have dismissed Duvall, regardless of his race.
Refusing to have his merited position stripped from him, Duvall did what anyone who believes they were fired because of their race or gender would do — he filed a discrimination lawsuit.
In the suit, Duvall alleged that he lost his esteemed position due to the company’s efforts to force diversity within its top leadership positions, which directly discriminated against him based on his gender and ethnicity. Surprisingly, the court agreed with him.
According to the Winston-Salem Journal, the jury determined that Duvall’s race and gender were not only the motivating factors but the sole factors in Novant’s decision to terminate him.
The jury asserted that the company had failed to provide reasonable evidence that he would have been fired regardless of these immutable characteristics. As such, the jury ordered the company to pay Duvall $10 million for discrimination.
“Defendant’s (Novant Health’s) termination of (Duvall) for the purpose of improving diversity constituted discrimination based on sex and race,” the lawsuit said.
The jury agreed with Duvall that Novant Health had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on gender and race in the workplace. Understandably, Duvall and his legal team were delighted with the court’s ruling.
“We are pleased that the jury agreed that Duvall’s race and gender were unlawful factors in his termination — that he was fired to make room for more diverse leaders at Novant,” S. Luke Largess of Charlotte, Duvall’s attorney, said in a statement. “Duvall was a strong advocate of diversity at Novant,” Largess said. “We believe the punitive damages award is a message that an employer cannot terminate and replace employees in order to achieve greater diversity in the workforce.”
Novant Health criticized the decision, insisting that Duvall was fired due to poor leadership skills. However, they weren’t able to convince the court that he was forced out for any reason other than his being a white male.
“We are extremely disappointed with the verdict as we believe it is not supported by the evidence presented at trial, which includes our reason for Mr. Duvall’s termination,” said Megan Rivers, a Novant Health spokeswoman. “We will pursue all legal options, including appeal, over the next several weeks and months.
Novant Health maintains a dedication to “diversity and inclusion” but claims this extends also to “white men.” However, the only reason the company is pushing such an approach is that it believes there are too many white males in top leadership roles and not enough non-white, non-male employees.
While a company may legally pursue diversity on the basis of irrelevant immutable characteristics, it has no legal right to terminate employees simply because of skin color or genitalia. Luckily, the jury recognized this violation and is forcing the company to pay for their transgression.

********************************************Tucker Carlson’s ‘Patriot Purge’ special pushes claim that FBI ‘incited’ Capitol riot
In a new three-part documentary series, Fox News host Tucker Carlson pushes the theory that the FBI incited the Capitol riot.
“Most Americans probably assume the chaos of January 6 was the result of intelligence failures or of simple government incompetence,” Carlson says in Part I of the series, titled Patriot Purge. “But direct incitement by federal agents? The intentional entrapment of American citizens? No decent person wants to believe that. But increasingly there’s evidence it is true.”
In the 27-minute episode, Carlson and other talking heads frame the 6 January insurrection as a false flag attack orchestrated by shadowy government forces, and law enforcement’s response to it as a “second war on terror” in which innocent Americans are unfairly persecuted.
The series is being shown on Fox Nation, the streaming service of Fox News Media, which owns Fox News. However, it is not being aired on Fox News itself.
But that separation is not complete. On the TV show Fox & Friends, host Brian Kilmeade spoke to Carlson about his new project, asking him if “you find indications that the FBI was actually pushing for this invasion.”
“There were people working for the FBI in the crowd that day,” Carlson responded on air. “This series is rock-solid factually.”
In one Patriot Purge interview, a security analyst who says he once worked as a US political operative during the Cold War claims 6 January “was a political warfare operation.”
“I saw that this was a coordinated effort, that there are different cadres of agents provocateurs and other troublemakers who had a sort of military-like precision,” says the analyst, J Michael Waller, over ominous music.
Another source, a journalist named Tayler Hansen, says he witnessed left-wing agitators posing as Trump supporters at the Stop the Steal rally and deliberately fomenting violence.
The series has sparked a fierce backlash, including from some conservatives.
Geraldo Rivera, the Republican journalist and Fox News correspondent, also condemned the show’s theories as “inflammatory and outrageous and uncorroborated.”

The Quiet Red Line That Could Complicate Biden’s Agenda
In late October, three House Democrats held a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol to lay down an unequivocal condition for their support of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act: It had to contain significant immigration reforms.
One of those Democrats, Rep. Lou Correa of California, recalled watching Democratic majorities and a Democratic president fumble away an opportunity to address immigration a decade ago—and he was determined not to let it happen again.
“My concern,” Correa told The Daily Beast on Oct. 20, “the concern of my constituents, is another replay of that scenario.”
Several weeks later, Biden has outlined a framework for the Build Back Better Act forged by painful compromises among liberals and moderates working under slim majorities. Many congressional Democrats have dropped their red lines—on everything from Medicare expansion to paid family leave—in a race to pass the bill as soon as possible.
Immigration, however, remains one of the few outstanding dilemmas threatening to hold up the entire package, as Correa and two colleagues, Reps. Chuy García (D-IL) and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), have stood firm in their demands to include it.
“We have to address it. It’s been 35 years,” Correa told reporters on Tuesday morning. “This is a big opportunity that should not be passed up.”
The top priority for these Democrats had been to use the Build Back Better Act as an opportunity to establish a path to citizenship for some 7 million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, the so-called Dreamers, whose legal status remains in limbo. With Donald Trump’s GOP firmly dug in against virtually any immigration overhaul, most Democrats believe they’ll have to go it alone to provide relief to these migrants.
But the unique problem with drawing a red line on immigration is that honoring it would require breaking the Senate’s rules. That’s because Democrats are using the special budget reconciliation process to pass their $1.75 trillion spending bill with a simple majority. Under those rules, only provisions with an impact on the federal budget may be included. And the Senate rules enforcer, the parliamentarian, has previously decided that a path to citizenship can’t be done by reconciliation

George Floyd’s Hometown Votes to Reject Police Reform
The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, at the hands of a number of the city’s police officers, sparked a national outcry about systemic racism and police brutality that many believed would lead us to a massive paradigm shift, at least as far as law enforcement is concerned.
Advocates seized on the moment to suggest all manner of solutions. Some insisted that abolishing the police entirely was the only real solution, (often through defunding), while others took a slightly more sensible approach, suggesting that there are some responsibilities that police officers could shed to more qualified individuals – specifically in low-danger instances involving people suffering from mental illness.
One such solution was on the ballot in Minneapolis this week, and the results have shocked some observers.
Voters in Minneapolis have resoundingly rejected a proposal to reinvent policing in their city, 17 months after the killing of George Floyd by police sparked massive protests and calls for change.
Approximately 56% of voters rejected a ballot question that would have removed the Minneapolis Police Department from the city charter and replaced it with a “public-health oriented” Department of Public Safety.
The “Yes” campaign conceded defeat in a statement that read, in part, “We spoke the truth while the opposition, Democrats and Republicans alike, spread lies and mischaracterized our measure to create confusion, distrust, and fear. “
Many blamed a national surge in crime for the waning interest in police reform, with some of this escalation coming directly from the national protests and riots surrounding Floyd’s death.
