The Premier Career Site For African Americans
Actually, I’m more of a peach color than white. What if one applied as “peach”.
And Eric Holder... what a freaking gem. I haven't figured out whether he makes a living by decrying racism while practicing it in his spare time, or if he makes a living by practicing racism while decrying it in his spare time.

It is of course illegal, but will never be investigated. However, any site called White Careers would be shut down in a second by the federal thought control police.
If there was a jobs website for white people only they would be sued on day one.
So as a test, on 5 jobs I have applied for, I didn't fill out the EEOC paperwork. I got calls back on all 5...3 of them to ask if I would fill out the paperwork...the other 2 called for a phone interview...then dropped all conversation after my race was discovered.
It's a hard place in jobland right now folks...and it's not getting better
I have a DNA genealogy thingy that says my ancestors came from Africa. Shouldn’t that prove that I’m African-American? LOL. Maybe every whitey (like me) in America is African-American.
And would probably run afoul of some EEOC or Labor Department laws somewhere.
It is what is called BACKLASH. And it is building steadily and strongly each day. Soon, outside of proclaiming martial law, it will be unstoppable. Those people are really going to be amazed and speechless who brought this "payback" about. The middle aged, middle class, White American male backlash (a huge segment of the population) in this country is going to be of historic propotions.
And this is not racist to say this. Just a demographic and a political observation, entirely objective in nature.
If I ever apply for another job, I think I’ll try listing myself as “ecru.”
I think the correct term is “pink” and if you’re a man, Erica Jong has penned a piece just for you.
Who’s Tired of Pink?
I am so tired of pink men bombing brown children and rationalizing it as fighting terrorism. I am so tired of pink men telling women (of all colors) what to do with their wombs—which connect with their brains—in case you forgot. I am so tired of pink men telling us we should stay in Iraq for generations. I am so tired of pink men buying bombs and cheating schools. I am so tired of pink men having wives who stand behind them and nod sagely on television. I am so tired of pink men expecting that someone—a brown, black, yellow or white woman—will trail behind them changing light bulbs, taking out garbage, washing laundry, keeping food in the house, taking care of kids of all ages, of parents of all ages.

BTW, I'm a statistician...The percentages are astounding across all job segments.
The statement during the presidential campaign about the government not giving a dime to anyone that wasn't of color is coming to fruition. You want to talk about divisive...Years of progress in ethnic relations wiped out by one administration that thrives on a divided population.
What if you are a white person born in S. Africa, are you not “African-American”?
I was in a seminar in Japan a number of few months back. There was an a visiting US labor law attorney who was a guest speaker. It was right after the Presidential elections. The guy said in a public seminar, I kid you not (and this was addressed primarily to Japanese companies that had operations in the USA), that if the US economy gets even worse in upcoming 2009, and you have to lay off people, you best lay off White People primarily, because they will have less recourse to a discrimination suit against the layoff under US law, than if you laid off say African-Americans first, and particularly your being a Japanese firm. I kid you not. I was floored. I think it may even be illegal to have offered this advice, although it was done on foreign soil. He said that once you lay off minorities back in the USA, and particularly in the upcoming Obama Administration, then you risk a lawsuit in return if you do not have all your reasons for downsizing airtight with HR, and have also made an effort to lay off White Americans first. That will make your blood boil, wont it??
What is a “Black Job”? “Ho”, “Pimp”, “Thug”, “Dealer”, “ACORN representative”...?
“I am so tired of pink men bombing brown children and rationalizing it as fighting terrorism.”
Jong is a useful idiot.
