Because they prefer the East Bay, particularly beautiful Oakland?

[albie]

Guess they’d better start shippin’ ‘em in, whether they want to go or not.

[Mr. K]

That would be “actin’ white” to be all learnin’ and sh*t.

[ScottinVA]

Because they can commute from more comfortable climes of the ‘hoods of Vallejo.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What percentage of blacks are electrical or software engineers?

[headsonpikes]

Why?

Racism, obviously.

[Paladin2]

Lefties are racis’.

[ThomasMore]

“Why so Few Black People in Silicon Valley?”

...because silicon is white? jk

[PapaBear3625]

Part of it might be that tech jobs require math ability, and the average SAT math score is 536 for whites, 595 for Asians, and 428 for blacks.

[servantboy777]

Education? I dunno, just guessing.

[reg45]

Africans believe in the value of an education. African-Americans, less so.

“How do you break the cycle? I don’t know.”
++++++++++++++++

Uh, how about not dropping out of high school at alarming rates? That’d be a good start.

[BenLurkin]

I don’t know what “Metro” is — but it needs to get over its obsession with skin color.

[ScottinVA]

Build it... and they'll come...

[MarkL]

Because silicon is racist! The Silicon Valley is a gated community, and I’ll bet it has “Stand Your Ground.”

Ebonics++ is not a programming language?

[AZLiberty]

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.

How do you get to Silicon Valley? Program, program, program.

There’s no secret to it. If you don’t code (or exercise some other engineering skill) at world-class levels, Silicon Valley doesn’t need you.

[technically right]

“institutional racism can be as subtle as established cultures hiring those with similar backgrounds”

Duh.

[Buckeye McFrog]

This article is almost saying “Yo! Hey, HUD....over HERE! Over HERE!”

[Nervous Tick]

>> “How do you break the cycle? I don’t know.”

You’re a freaking JUDGE and you DON’T KNOW??? Won’t ADMIT THE TRUTH is more like it.

Well, I know, and I’ll say it. It’s not rocket science.

You marry the mother of your children, you work hard, you teach your young ‘uns about God and personal responsibility and work ethic and to value education over “culture” and hip-hop. You stay clean of drugs and don’t drink your brains out.

It doesn’t happen overnight — it takes a generation. Maybe two if you’re really screwed up, like most of African-America is.

THE ASIANS DID IT! Yep, right there in SILICON VALLEY. In SPADES. With totally MORE REAL handicaps than the race grievance BLACKS ever DREAMED of. What the hell is the problem with the blacks? I’m beyond sick of hearing their whining victim crapola.
