Jesse Jackson isn’t keeping quiet about the lack of diversity in the tech industry’s ranks.

Liberals eating their own...a truly beautiful sight to behold...

Don’t know who to root for more in this tussle of pigs...

exactly

this topic gets dropped as soon as a nice donation is made to the Just Us Brothers.

Personally, I’d like Jesse to comment on the lack of diversity at tanning salons...... What a F###ing idiot!

I want to know how much diversity the Rainbow Coalition has—how many white people? How many American Indians?
And how many Hispanics?

Ha, ha, ha, LOL!

WARNING LANGUAGE!

Lack of diversity in high tech? Yes, more Asians then whites.../s

[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe Jackson can bring some resumes of qualified IT candidates with him for Facebook to consider?

The header pic on their website doesn't exactly scream "diversity"

[GeronL]

lack of diversity? Most of them are probably Asian

[Vince Ferrer]

There is all sorts of diversity at Facebook. From the telegu regions, the tamil regions, even hindi speakers. Probably all of India is represented.

I wonder if Jesse and Al have turf wars over shakedowns. Do you think they divvy up sectors or is it just a matter of who ever gets there first. If that's the case, Al is sitting somewhere right now thinking, ‘$heeeeeeeeeet, why didn't I think of tech?’

[roofgoat]

give him a break. he has worked long and hard on his racism gig. he has honed his shakedown practice to a fine edge and anything he gets has been well earned.

Jesse wants “patronage” jobs in the tech industry AND a payoff. Though he will probably just settle for a payoff.

[jazusamo]

LOL! I can’t argue against that, he’s good at what he does.

[NYAmerican]

My sentiments exactly! Gee I really feel terrible for the leftist billionaires at Facebook........

[Veggie Todd]

I’m upset at the lack of diversity at the naacp, united negro college fund, congressional black caucus, harlem globetrotters, black entertainment television.....

[I want the USA back]

Slow week in the race extortion industry! This jerk has nothing better to do!
