Interesting. Apparently Jessee means American blacks. I have met and worked with people from Algeria, Nigeria, Gabon, Russia, Vietnam, numerous Canadians, Mexico, Egypt, and elsewhere while working in the oil industry here in the states. It is more 'diverse' elsewhere, but I assume Jessee doesn't count oil ministers in their own countries, only the ones here.

In an industry which spans the globe, perhaps he should expand his worldview a tad.

Otherwise, if we start basing hiring practices in the oil industry on some nebulous racial formula, expect another increase in the price of oil. The people who have these jobs have them for one reason--they get results.

Besides, the Socialist oil company ripoff of the week already goes to Hugo Chavez.

Exactly! I work in the energy industry and it is one of the most diverse industries. Jackson is a clown who hasn't a clue as to what he is talking about. He needs to come get his Katrina entitlement babies from Houston!
