I don’t understand this either. I thought they taught computer skills in prison.
Guess the Urban league hasn’t gotten the message....blacks are being replaced by “hispanics” you idiots...reap what you sow
Internet companies appear to be almost universally liberal in their political leanings. If there are qualified minority candidates out there I am sure that they are gobbled up quickly by Google, Apple, et al.
Either there are few qualified candidates, or these companies are hiding their true racial views.
This black dude gets it. Of course it would also work with mysql and say databases as well. Strange as I am on a plane, I was still doing code review while waiting to get on the plane. I have written on this subject before...
Thanks! That matchbook exposes the major problem that stopped blacks from entering the high tech field. The Labor Dept. should have put a young black man and woman on those matchbooks they were giving out. That way the message would have gotten out every time a black person fired up a Kool menthol. Instead, those matches were being used by whites to light up their Marlboro cigs. Once again it is a case of discrimination! LOL!
Is it impossible to get through the skulls of some people that doors aren’t “firmly shut” for them? If you do not have the skills, you will not get hired. How difficult is that to understand? It is not a case of businesses refusing to hiring minorities. It is a case of businesses refusing to hire unqualified people who happen to be minorities.
I fail to understand why it is Google’s, or Facebook’s, or Twitter’s or any other company’s responsibility to ensure that Marc Morial (who can’t program his way out of a paper bag) is satisfied with the number of “minorities” they hire. If “minorities” want to be hired as scientists, or engineers, or software writers, or other well compensated technical occupations they can bloody well do it the old fashioned way. They can EARN it.
I’ll bet these race hustlers feel these companies should provide free training, at a premium wage, for their poor fellows.
Apparently, many people, like the writer of this article, believe all jobs are cases of people being placed there without working hard for those jobs. Somebody just wants to be a rocket scientist and voila!...they're qualified rocket scientists. The real world doesn't work that way.
How many blacks graduate from top-level tech schools? I assume none of the best schools have Black studies or Womyn’s studies. Which would be utterly worthless in the tech or science fields anyway. At some point somebody has to tell these whiners to go p...up a rope.
There can be no arguing or trying to compromise with people who think this way (the writer of this article). They must be stopped.
In a table of how many PhDs awarded by race and subject, in 2009 1,574 Computer Science PhDs graduated in the US. You want to how many Computer Science PhDs were award to blacks in 2009? 30.
The software game is one of the pure meritocracies left in the business world. There’s no kick about race - its all about the code. If you can churn it out quickly and elegantly, you are in. If not, you are out.
There are all manner of colors in the software biz, and there are a lot of Indian folk who’s skin is just as dark as any African American. The difference is that they work hard and possess the knowledge to succeed.
“Eyes on the prize”, if I may borrow a phrase.
Probably in the same place as all those black hockey players or bowlers.
Geez, these racists and their quotas are annoying still to this day.
Or White NFL Running Backs.
