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?

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?

...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.

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.

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

In a truly colorblind society, race-based crap .coms like that would be ridiculed out of existence.
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.
To: GregNH
If there was a jobs website for white people only they would be sued on day one.

I was laid off on august 28th from a defense company. If I had been a minority I would have already been employed. I've been told by now 6 hiring managers that minority hiring is what is being done...no ands ifs or buts. I'm trying not to be bitter about it...but when it comes down to getting hired, I'm at a distinct disadvantage, especially when most companies require now that you fill out the EEOC questionairs as part of your application process.
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

What is a “Black Job”? “Ho”, “Pimp”, “Thug”, “Dealer”, “ACORN representative”...?
