Between Antifa, #BlackThugsMatter, “Resist”, and general litigation risks, I would be reluctant to hire anyone who did not show outward signs of conservatism.
Plenty of Fish, the dating site, moved past $1 billion in valuation without hiring a single employee.
“African-Americans — at no point — have parity with whites under similar circumstances.”
Nonsense. Both private- and public-sector employers are desperate to hire blacks with equal education and who can do at least minimally acceptable work.
Damned right.
Note to millennials of all races: Get educated. It doesn’t end with school.
Oh, BS. Show me a competent, knowledgable and personable black applicant for any position whatsoever who can’t practically write their own ticket, corporations fight over them. The problem is not race.
Physical appearance, presentation, vocabulary, grooming mean everything....I’ve hired MANY blacks and whites and I judge them on the few minutes they spend with me....do not show up with no respect for yourself. I don’t need attitude (I’ve seen enough of it) I need sincerity, intelligence, proper English, appearance (you will be seen by my CUSTOMERS) and the willingness to prove yourself before you make any demands of me.....so far so good, I’ve made VERY few bad choices !!!!
I would like to compare and contrast black graduates who have a B. S. in math, science, or business versus black graduates with a B. A. in liberal arts or black studies.
Spot On! That’s the way I did it too!
I recall hearing Rush Limbaugh say something many years ago: College doesn’t educate you for a career, it teaches you *How To Learn*.
The best way to learn job skills is by Doing A Job.
“How many can divide 4244.85 by 33.185 without a calculator? How many know the Periodic Table symbol for calcium?”
Neither of these demonstrate marketable skills (except in the latter case, for chemists or possibly some medical personnel). Brutal, lamentable, but true.
Cop: ...why’d ya do it?
Perp:..how else I s’pose to git monies?
...that answer your question
Until the Great Society foolishness in 1965, Blacks had a higher rate of employment than whites. Black men were more likely to be gainfully employed than their white counterparts. Blacks also had a higher marriage rate, higher 2 parent household rate than whites.
Blacks were discriminated against in the most dehumanizing ways, but they hunkered down and worked with vigor and self discipline.
Imagine how great this country would be if instead of welfare slavery, our leaders had focused solely on eliminating unhealthy discrimination and teaching basic wealth creation ( rental property, small business operation )
If that had happened, we’d be a much wealthier country.
And we’d be complaining that blacks had too much money, which is a much better thing to complain about.
welfare slavery killed the black middle class
>lack of quality jobs has affected the economic mobility of African-Americans.
When dealing with RCA details, you must first be honest. Anything else is BS.
This needs to at least go back to the large number of DinDu attitudes and actual sloth. Many employers are hesitant to gamble on the odds.
In other words...physician heal thyself.
That would screw up the whole story line!
People who walk out during graduation exercises, and can’t pull up their pants don’t find jobs easily. And those whose degree was on Trangendering the genders.
Re: Obama’s election ““In this time of hope, we also saw instances which clearly demonstrated we, as a country, are not as color blind as we thought.”
No we aren’t, and you can thank Obama for that. He set race relations back many years.
.
Numerous paragraphs of angst about black unemployment. Not a single sentence of concern about whether said unfortunates actually possess marketable job skills that will get them employed.
Ultimately this sort of article is just doing its part to perpetuate discrimination against blacks. But its not discrimination in the sense that blacks are being discriminated against due to their race. They’re being discriminated against because in many cases they don’t have the necessary skills or behaviors to be employed in good paying jobs. Fix that and you fix the discrimination.
But that’s the real rub, isn’t it? Having a well educated, well employed blacks has never been considered particularly desirable by the political class.
