MakeIt Tell Harris she black now

MakeIt '...close to equal pay?' Close to equal pay compared to their peers? They are exactly the same, i.e. equal.

MakeIt I've about had enough with CNBC. As someone said above can't you just stop with the attempts to divided by race, gender or whatever?

MakeIt

MakeIt Like you care.

MakeIt This tweet deserves a block. Bye now!

MakeIt This is from the Department of Labor ?

MakeIt So this means 33% are black and 66% are white? I guess? Can you clarify on this, dipshits?

MakeIt Does on the front line = working?

MakeIt Job for Job they get equal pay. CNBC is becoming like all NBC stations. THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

MakeIt Because we don’t pay service workers the same as investment bankers and doctors? 🤷🏽‍♂️

MakeIt Cough..bullshznit..

MakeIt What pandemic? Scamdemic

MakeIt Isn’t this narrative getting a little old? Y’all are just trying to control the black population by making them angry with constant “boogy man” articles

MakeIt Can you do ONE article where the intent isn’t to DIVIDE society?
