The Premier Career Site For African Americans

[GregNH]

My wife has been applying for jobs for over a year now after being laid off from a 10 year position with a large firm. She came across this this morning and I thought it worthy of discussion. I mean didn't Eric Holder tell us we need to have a discussion about race in this country?

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m looking for a new career. Maybe I’ll try being an “African American.”

So what is this anyhow. Stress on the affirmative action jobs?

[BCW]

...that’s nice - I thought we were over this - I mean didn’t the country get slapped in the face and told we needed to move ahead and elect a black president - but color isn’t suppose to matter...

(note: I have an adopted daughter who’s mixed - so if someone is going to call me racist - don’t - because I’m not - I look at personality - and this web site has none)

I’m about 90% sure that I missed a job opportunity because I was the wrong color. Interestingly, I later found the position heavily promoted on Black Careers dot com.

Well......if man originated @ Olduvai Gorge like Dr. Leakey said then aren’t we ALL African????

This month I have been seeing on the paper tray mats at McDonalds that this was “Hispanic Franchise Owners Month” or some such thing.

This site is currently under construction.

Yeah, I bet. Probably under investigation...

Apply for one of those jobs (if you are non-Black).

Get an interview.

Have their socks fall off when you walk in the door, as "White".

Go through the interview, get rejected.

File a class-action, racial discrimination suit against them. (Take a hidden camera, James and Hannah-style).

I thought the civil rights movement was all about equality and having a place at the same table? Not a special table of their own.....where only they are allowed to sit and...........oh never mind. I’m a racist for even bringing this up according to Al Sharpton.

[expatguy]

Of course ... Careers for White Americans would be considered racist

[Dysart]

That's great but a hyperlink works even better: http://www.whitecareers.com/

[Slings and Arrows]

Cool! Where are my reparations?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I believe the NFL has “hispanic appreciation” month now. Yes, I know the spanish have contributed too many players to the NFL to even count......and the NFL is overflowing with soo much latino history lets declare a month of appreciation over it and..........the NFL has tickets to sell.....and....hey everyone, its half time, get ready for a tribute to Ricky Martin.......

[Dysart]

Well, there is a website or at least a secured domain name for one. Not quite off the ground. See above.

[GregNH]

I told my wife to apply to every job listed and go on as many interviews as possible, then when rejected we make that call to high profile lawyer....

[GregNH]

I am calling the White Congressional Caucus and demand an investigation....

Why not?

Blacks have a saying.."If you have a glass of white milk then add just a tiny bit of chocolate, you still have chocolate milk"..
