STUPID AND DEADLY: Missing Titanic Sub CEO’s Diversity, Equity Rant – Wouldn’t Hire Experienced Submariners, ‘Old White Guys Not Inspirational’ (VIDEO)

By Pamela Geller - on

“When I started business… other sub operators [were] out there but they typically [had] gentlemen who are ex-military submariners… a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys” – Stockton Rush, CEO of Titanic submarine company OceanGate

Said the old white guy.

WATCH: ‘OceanGate’ CEO’s DEI Rant – Hiring ‘Old White Guys Not Inspirational’

Stockton Rush, CEO of the OceanGate company responsible for a Titanic exploration submarine currently lost at sea, prioritized diversity over experience when putting together crews. “When I started business… other sub operators [were] out there but they typically [had] gentlemen who are ex-military submariners… a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys,” he said during a 2020 interview.

“I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational… [A] 25-year-old who’s a sub pilot or a platform operator or one of our techs can be inspirational,” he said while an image of a female crew member showed on screen, adding: “We also want our team to have a variety of different backgrounds.”

When OceanGate submarine Titan went down on June 18th, the man at the helm was reportedly Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a 77-year-old Frenchman who does have a military background. Rush, who has led many dives himself, was also on board.

Sonar searches for the Titan have detected banging sounds, meaning the sumarine’s five passengers could still be alive.

Equity is not merit based and is a commie plan to destroy our country. Hard to feel sad about what is happening to the sub but lawsuits against this company might open some eyes. Reverse discrimination is discrimination. Anti-White and anti-Semitism is ok in today’s dem America.

Oceangate’s Jun. 11, 2023 expidition was launched and then aborted at the 20 foot level, for safety issues.

The very next mission is now lost.

What was done between the two missions?

It’s all just empty talk anyway, like all things woke. The two crew members on board are both old white guys.

Apparently the vehicle had some very inexpensive parts on it. How much of the rest of this vehicle was below par. Especially for the depth that they went down.

Rush looks like a white guy approaching 50 years old. So he should have sacked himself.

This dranged lunatic insane asylum Marxist, Sadom & Gomorrah agenda is slowly ruining the delicatd balance of life we have perfected for the last 300 years. These people are insane asylum lunatics, they literally need to be commited into an asylum. Listen to the insane tirade of numb skull idiotic reason he put forth as qualification to drive a submarine which goes down into pressurized environment ” deversity, inclusion, white old people, joy stick as a wheel, we can train 25 year olds” dumb fu&k, he over simplifieses the professionalism into a Hero making deli in the south Bronx. The guy is delirious, these people should not be incharge of running a Brox location Deli. I wouldn’t trust this idiot to meke my lunch hero. Deranged lunatics have taken over our most qualified institutions, and they are running our world into a nuclear disastrous holocoust.

“Diversity” viz Dems is all show, anyway. “POC” may LOOK different, but unfortunately they THINK alike – i.e. monolithically left-wing.

This is what happens when leftist loons favor hiring by skin color. The DIEversity program always causes lowering of standards with accompanying consequences in jobs like law enforcement, fire fighting, etc where top quality is necessary for protection of the public.

Hey! let’s hop into a carbon-fiber-hull sub, the size of a mini-van/propane tank, powered by a game controller, no emergency pinger, NOT depth-safety-inspected or RATED, and then dive to 12,000 feet and see the Titanic!!!. . ALL ABOARD??

It’s not the adventure/exploration spirit; it’s the tourism/spectator spirit.
The only true explorer-adventurers are “old white guys.”
These fools main purpose was to make a mockery of courage and competence. Just like the angry miscreants of the catastrophic “Biden administration.”

Stupid is as stupid does.
They did inspired future submariners to use common sense.
They even left something to look at beyond 2030 when the Titanic is gone.

Another woke enterprise hit bottom, rather dramatically. Too bad George Soros and Larry Fink were not aboard for the riide. A couple of weeks before Fox fired Tucker he had a show that exposed how the airlines are recruiting based on equity rather than merit and how this has already led to air disasters with more to come. Do you want to get on a plane where the pilot is selected on equity or merit? May I suggest this is an area for transparency?

When they lost contact with the mini-sub is when it imploded. I don’t think they died due to lack of oxygen. They died because that craft was NOT capable of withstanding the pressure at 13,000 feet down. Finding a debris field demonstrates that the craft was destroyed. Otherwise they could recover the craft with their lifeless bodies aboard. They never tested the craft to determine if the craft was safe. That kind of thing is being done a lot these days. They recently did the same thing with a vaccine.
