Out of Twitter’s 2,910 U.S. employees, only 49 (1.7 percent) are black, and that fact has black activists led by Rev. Jesse Jackson racing to condemn the company.
Jackson, who has been pressuring tech companies for years to hire more blacks, told The Guardian black Americans are “becoming intolerant” of Twitter’s slow growth in diversity.

Get a programming or engineering degree. You will be picked up by 99% of the tech companies in a New York second. Until then stop your whining.

I work in technology and have hired in the neighborhood of 500 people in my career. Every position has required a technical degree. The issue is you just don’t see that many black candidates. If Jesse really wanted to help, perhaps he should be “ministering” the youth to go to school and get a STEM degree. Of course, that would require his motives to be pure.

It's been 16 years, and Jesse Jackson has still not sent T.J. Rodgers the resumes of qualifed black programmers that he claims to have:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, "the conscience of the nation" and the "Great Unifier," according to his Web site, came to Silicon Valley this month to wipe out the "digital divide'' - the prejudice that causes "many black and brown professionals (to) say they are being locked out of the industry, despite receiving training from the best universities."
I invite the Rev. Jackson to send me the resumes of those disenfranchised people who've received training from "the best universities." With 115 open positions, we could use them.

Oh no, the Rent-A-Mob will soon be picketing if they don’t pay off Jesse.
Jesse must be low on funds, as he is breaking out his Extortion racket
again.

What percent of those graduating with top technical degrees from top schools every year are non-affirmative action blacks?
To: MeshugeMikey
Companies should just say they won’t hire based on color, that to do so would be racist.
